GinaK Sneak Peek - Day 2 - Hope Grows (scrapbook page)

  


I really enjoy using stamps in my scrapbooks. Besides the fact that I have so many options open to me, the next best thing I like about using stamps to scrapbook is that I never run out of them. Unlike stickers or store bought embellishments, I can use my stamps over and over again on my pages. Borders, titles, embellishments, etc. SO many uses for them and I can get SO many uses out of them!

For my page, I used the new set from Theresa Momber: Hope Grows. Just like the page I did yesterday, I used one of the sentiments from the Hope Grows set to incorporate into my journaling. In this instance, I used it as the title for my page.

I started with a light yellow 12x12 page and cut 3 of my photos down to 5.5 x 4 inches so that I could stretch them across my page and still leave room on top for a full 4 x 6 photo. I used a self adhesive border to go on top and bottom of my photos. This created a faux mat. 

I stamped my images onto three of the new cardstocks that are debuting with this release: Grass Green, Sweet Mango and Turquoise Sea. I stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder, then trimmed my images out with precision tip scissors.

I used a blue cardstock sticker for a mat under the Sweet Mango butterfly. The sentiment was stamped with black ink.

My journaling was done with a Black glaze pen.
