Scrapbook Club

Tonight is the first night of a new round of scrapbook club, and this is the sample layout I have created.  Club members can copy this, tweak it or change it to meet their needs.  It is interesting to see the starting point and see how individual everyone's pages ends up.  Though it was not my intention when I started, it looks like this owl from stamp club.  I wanted to create a page with Fall colors, but I think it's the chevron pattern on that sheet of Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper that I am drawn to.  I used one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack to create the faux brads.

Whoo Whoo Needs a Background Stamp?

This is one of our stamp club projects tonight. After resisting the owl punch when the catalog came out, I finally broke down and bought it. I loved all the cute cards I was seeing with non-traditional color combinations and especially like seeing Designer Series Papers used with it. I don't have that fabulous woodgrain background stamp so I just ran my Soft Suede stamp pad up and down a piece of Crumb Cake to create a faux woodgrain. Then with the new extra-large 2 1/2 inch circle punch, I made a hole in my "tree" and perched my owl on a branch from the Two-Step Bird punch.
