Cactus Scrapbooking

Happy Thursday! Still hot here.... soooo wishing for autumn to arrive on the tenth of October....! But we have Halloween decorations up now, so that much can feel like autumn. 

Anyway, I have a scrapbook layout for you today. These photos are several years old, so it was way past time to get them scrapped. This is the last time we went to my grandparents house, it was the trip for my grandmother's funeral. And then her kids went thru all the things and that was that. My grandparents lived in Arizona so these retired cactus stamps were absolutely required. I just fussy cut them all out and layered them on the page.

Supplies:
Stamps: Flowering Desert (retired), Desert Details (retired)

Ink: Pebbled Path, Mossy Meadow, Garden Green, Peach Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Parakeet Party(retired), Cucumber Crush(retired), Soft Succulent (retired)

Paper: Parakeet Party (retired), Peach Pie card stocks

Journaling Font: Garamond

I "need" to print hundreds of photos, because we just keep living life and doing things, but I also still have hundreds of photos printed from years ago for my older kids... And since I was in a scrapping mood, that's what I worked on. I did a few pages for my son and then discovered all of his books are full and his shelf is stuffed. Annnnd then after just setting the pages in one of his books to keep them flat and safe....his shelf collapsed. super. haha..... Guess what I'm asking for for Christmas? 

If you're curious, my girls share the bottom shelf, altho my youngest's current album is the sideways one at the top of this photo....
and my son has the collapsed shelf all to himself. 

Yeay scrapbooking!! 

Warm Rays!

I don't know about you, but we are having a long, stubborn winter. I honestly don't mind it- the sun comes out almost daily for at least a minute, there's patches of blue sky, and we're not having to shovel, but a lot of people in my life are past done. So this greeting is a perfect match for today's card! 

I used the sketch from the Paper Players, and this fabulous Desert Details bundle for this card. This stamp set, die, paper and sequins come from the January-April Mini and I am a fan! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Desert Details

Ink: Cajun Craze

Paper: Pale Papaya, Basic White & Soft Succulent card stock, Delicate Desert DP

Accessories: Desert Details dies, Gold Faceted sequins, big shot

*Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent are on their way out! Odds are very good the DP is too because DP rarely carries over! Don't miss out on these items!! 

Desert Fun

Happy Monday to you! I got a card made that I can share with you! This one uses a brand new bundle that actually my mom purchased. 

The layout for today's card comes from the latest SUO Challenge, which comes from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. I CASED the layout from the card that says "it looks like spring" but I changed the bundle, the colors, and I made my stripes wonky and stacked. 

And! I stuck it right in the mail for someone who I think will really love it.
ETA: Yep. I made it, took a picture, stuck it in the mail....! Guess which step I forgot? That's right boys and girls- the card arrived completely blank. Wow. That's a new one for me.....

Supplies:

Stamps: Desert Details

Ink: Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Gray Granite, Soft Succulent

Paper: Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Gray Granite & Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Desert Detail dies, Gold Faceted sequins, Dimensionals

I used the colors from the coordinating DP pack, even tho I didn't use any of the paper this time. It is gorgeous tho, so I will.... and I might buy more!! Seriously, click HERE to see it all! (you can order it there too.
