Scrapbooking from Scrappin' Kit

Oh my gosh, look at these cute little birds. I had never seen these before so I had to look them up in my bird book and it appears these are BUNTINGs. They are colored so brilliantly blue and orange. Over the last week we have lots of them eating the seed we have put out for the sparrows and doves that are our usual guests. I had to get some pictures of them from inside the house as they are really spooky.

Have you all seen the really cute "Playful Polka Dots" Scrappin' Kit in the Summer Mini Catalog? The colors are so gorgeous together and bright and energizing!!! I'm not a big scrapbooker, but when I saw this, I had to put together a cute mini scrapbook using these papers and self adhesive images.

I had so much fun putting this together and making little pockets for additional places for photos.

Have a nice week!!!

Summer Mini Catalog AND More

Did you also know that May is SCRAPBOOKING month??? Stampin' UP! is offering many Stamp Sets at discounted prices (30% off) and Digital Products at discounted prices as well. Click on the above links for the pricing of each.

During April you were able to purchase the Four Frames Stamp Set and the Petals Paisley Designer Series Paper as a pre-order from the new 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog. I was playing with the Stamp Set and came up with this cute tag holder using the Scalloped Envelope Die for the Big Shot.

I punched out 10 tags using the Large Tag Punch, but placing the punch on a fold so it would be like a small card. Then I punched 10 Small Tags in Whisper White to place an image on the front of each tag.
I used the Raspberry stamp from the Clearly For You set (Occasions Mini catalog) to stamp onto the front image.
Aren't these cute? You may, however, want to make fewer tags to put into the little envelope because I found that 10 was too many to fold the top down on the envelope and keep it shut.

This is a fun idea to give to a friend or use as an incentive gift for a workshop.

Have a beautiful Sunday.
