I recently had the pleasure of taking part in a Photo Swap on the growing Soul Scrappers community (an inspiring community of amazing scrapbookers that I started in January of this year). A fellow scrapbooker and I traded photos. She lives in Australia and I live in Vermont. I found it fascinating that two women worlds away were working on pictures that meant a lot to both of us.
Michelle sent me this photo of her adorable dog, Holly, when she was still a puppy. This is the page that I created for her.
I used a light brown 12 x 12 textured page as my base. I added strips of patterned paper from the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper to pop some color onto the page and give it a slightly feminine look for such a cute little girl puppy.
I used the "D is for Dog" stamp set with Basic Brown ink to add the paw prints and bones for my borders. I also stamped the The dog image, as well as the two sentiments, are all from this set. The dog was stamped onto cardstock and cut out to adhere to the page.
I used a black glaze pen to write the doggy's name across the pink paper.
I love using stamps in my scrapbook and if you'd like to learn how, I have a new class coming up that will teach you how. You can check out all the info here:
Stampbooking 101 (scrapbooking with your stamps)
And I'd love to have you join us over at Soul Scrappers! Come check us out and see what we're all about. We have ongoing challenges, prizes and inspiration.....make some new scrapbooking friends, too!
That is such a great page. I bought that set or actually earned it free. I got it just for scrapbooking. Love how you used the bone as a border.
