Pennant Parade Scrapbook Layout

 

My scrapbook club ladies had a specific request last month.  So here is my layout for Tuesday featuring pennants.  I do believe most layouts will work for most pictures, and my scrapbook club is proof.  I can do a layout of a vacation as the sample, and when the night is over, we all have used the same layout for pictures of babies, racing, concerts, high school sports and family activities. However when I sat down to do my layout for this month, the pictures I had printed are of an enormous, elaborate church in Barcelona.  I didn't really think that would be the most appropriate use of pennants.  So I pulled some old extras from a past vacation to do a sample, and then I will use this layout again for more recent vacation pictures.

They're Here!

Sale-A-Bration is such a highly anticipated time of year for stampers. Well this year it is better than ever! It starts today, January 5, and lasts until March 31. Each and every $50 you purchase allows you to choose a free product. This year's catalog features 4 stamps sets (available in wood or clear mount), a Designer Series Paper Pad and a Scallop Trim Border punch. And as if that isn't enough, there are even more free options. The entire back page of the catalog lists sets from the regular Idea Book & Catalog that you can choose from too. So that means you can't possibly run out of options for freebies!

The Occasions Mini Catalog is out today too. Almost too much excitement in one day, huh? It runs through April 30 and it is full of great new products including the new clear mount stamps and new punch style.
The card I did features Fox & Friends stamp set from the mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Scallop Trim Border. And here are all of the new products I used:
The clear mount stamp sets store in a case about the size of a DVD with this great index on the front (and on the spine too):

Here is what you see when you open your case:

This is the back of the case which allows another quick view of all of your images:

And here is the fun part.  You simply select the acrylic block size you like and press the stamp on it.  One nice feature of this particular stamp set is the stamps are all about the same size and you can use the same acrylic block:

This is what you see through the block when you stamp:

 

There are optional stickers that you can apply to the foam to help with placement when stamping.  Some precise stamping may still require the Stamp-a-ma-jig.

And here's a peek at the new punch style.  They store flat, which is a real help to those of us who have a lot of stamping supplies *wink*.

Supplies:  Fox & Friends and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets, Scallop Border, Word Window and 1 1/4"Punch, Bashful Blue, Barely Banana, Certainly Celery and Whisper White cardstock, Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Creamy Caramel ink.

The More the Merrier in Soft Subtles

This is a color combination that doesn't shout Christmas, but I find that I usually make at least one snowman card a year with Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue.  This particular card has been well loved.  I did a few of these for my convention swap and have done them at some of my events.  Those snowmen are just great for coloring and making them your own.  Add some Dazzling Diamonds with your Two-way glue pen and instant snow!
