Now that it is summertime, I am having a BLAST scrapbooking again. I just finished two wonderful "Holiday Project" camps with 11-12 year old girls. We made a variety of projects for the girls to recreate for their friends and loved ones (sorry...forgot to take pictures).
And...I had time to finally make my mom's birthday/mother's day present to go along with a gift card I gave her. Sorry, it's sooo late, mom, but you know how crazy the month of May is for me!
I was inspired by an idea presented in March 2012 Stampin' Up's Success catalog we get as demonstrators...they had a version of these "Mom" blocks, but of course, I had to embellish it my own way. Here's the result:
BTW--my mom LOVES them!
Paper: Twitterpated DSP, Baja Breeze CS, Pear Pizazz CS, Red Riding Hood CS, Basic Gray CS, Blushing Bride CS, and Indigo Island CS
Ink and Ribbon: Baja Breeze, Pear Pizazz, Red Riding Hood, Basic Gray, Blushing Bride, and Indigo Island ink pads to distress the edges, Versa Mark ink pad, and Blushing Bride pleated ribbon
Stamps & Punches: Mixed Bunch stamp set, Papillon Potpourri stamp set, Blossom punch, Scallop Oval punch, Elegant Butterfly punch, and Modern Label punch
Embellishments: Stampin' Up's wood blocks (pack of 4), White Embossing Powder and heat tool, Polka Dots Embossing Folder using the Big Shot, Stampin' dimensionals, Pearls, Rhinestones, buttons, a straight pin, and my Cricut with Cuttin' Up cartridge for the letters
Thanks for stopping by...Happy Scrapin'!
