Fun Embellishments

I love scrapbooking (obviously!) and one of the funnest parts is when I get to add embellishments. You can buy a lot, but I really enjoy being creative and making my own. Whenever I look at a scrapbooking magazine, one of the first things I look at are the embellishments, and how I could make it myself.

Here I stamped a slide mount. I used a rub-on transfer to add the words. I threaded plastic letter beads onto wire, and attached them to the mount.

Main Street USA

This is a page from my Disney scrapbook. This is a 12 x 12 layout, which I only use when scrapping Disney, since that is the size of their albums. I made the Mickey Mouse myself, and added the sign.

Curious Kitty

This page is of our adorable little cat, Foster. One day, while I was re-packaging flour, Foster jumped in the bag, and all of a sudden he popped his head out. What a curious little kitten he is.

I used my Cricut for the letters, and I made a tag using letter beads.

Family Love

This is a page of my three youngest on a summer day, when they were playing in the sprinkler in the yard. I used my Cricut to cut out the title, and made a tag using a Stampin' Up! flower punch, brads, and buttons.

Chris - baseball

This is a simple layout that demonstrates what I believe...a great scrapbook page begins, and ends, with a great picture. This is a very simple page. (I didn't take the photo...I bought it from a professional photographer.)

I used a Stampin' Up! wheel down the left side, and tied a ribbon with hardware. I also used a baseball quote.



On the second page, I used my Cricut for the letter, which I stamped with a background stamp, and included a baseball stamp, and hung a small baseball off the title.

Woody and Andy scrapbook page

This layout uses some of my favorite products...my Cricut, and Stampin' Up! This picture was taking at Disneyworld in September, 2005. Andrew has always loved Woody, especially since he has the name "ANDY" written on the bottom of his boot. During the Mickey's Holiday Party, Andrew was dressed up as Woody, and we made sure he got to meet him! It was great!

I made my own background paper using a stamp. The boot and star are also stamps. I used twine as a border around the picture, and ribbon as a border on the paper. I used my Cricut for the title.
