Challenge #11: Stamping

Welcome back...


We hope you've all had a fabulous summer and been able to relax and enjoy some nice weather. I'm sure everyone has taken a bazillion pictures from all the activities and holidays and are ready to get scrapping again...right? Hehe! We're doing things a little bit different this month and are really excited to share the changes with you.



So let's get right to it.



We are very excited to have Robyn Werlich join us this month as our Guest Goodie Girl!!! Robyn is so talented and is definitely an inspiration when it comes to stamping and scrapbooking. Her work can be seen in Scrapbooks Etc. Magazine and she creates for Autumn Leaves and Hero Arts. You can also see more of her work on her blog so make sure you check it out! We thought it would be fun for you to get to know her better....



1. Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah but I currently live in St. George, UT (southern corner of Utah).


2. Tell us a little about yourself and your family.
My husband, Ryan, and I have been married for 11 years...that seems so crazy to write! ☺ Time flies! We have three wonderful kids: Madisyn is 6 years old, Hudson is 4 and Jaxon is 7 months.


3. How long have you been scrapbooking?
I started scrapbooking a month before I had my first child, Madisyn and I was completely hooked! Seven years later and I still love this fun creative journey of scrapbooking.


4. Tell us a little about your scrapbooking style and background.
Hmmmm....scrapbooking style? I’m very linear and detailed...I’m all about the details! A few of my favorite things are fun colors, polka dots, string, stamping and the finishing process of adding all the finishing touches! ;)


5. What inspires you in your scrapbooking?
Honestly - product inspires me a lot! I will get something new and it will spark new ideas and fun things to try. Scrapbooking is a lot about the creative process for me and trying different things with products really gets me inspired.


6. What are 3 of your favorite scrapbooking products?
Tone-on-Tone polka dot paper
Butterflies - punches, chipboard, die-cuts - anything! ☺
String!
And...I gotta add 4, stamps!!




And now for the challenge...



Stamping!!

Create a layout using stamps. There are so many cute stamps out there so let's use them. Be creative...there's no limits with what you can do with a stamp. Use it for your title, as an embellishment, cut it out, emboss it...just get using those cute stamps. We want to see what you can do.


Here's Robyn's inspiration...

"Life" By Robyn Werlich

(supplies: Cardstock: Stampin' Up! & Bazzill; White Grid Paper: Scenic Route; Label Die-Cuts: Stampin' Up!; Large Butterfly Chipboard: K&Company; Alphabet Stamps: Purple Onion Designs; Polka-dot stamp: Post Modern Design; Flourish stamp (on green): Autumn Leaves; 'Enjoy the Journey' stamp: Hero Arts; Ink: Versamark & Stampin' Up!; Embossing Powder: Hero Arts; Ribbon, Buttons, Chipboard letters: Stampin' Up!; Large Metal Label: Basic Grey; Butterfly punch: Martha Stewart; Swiss Dot embossing folder (used on pink butterfly): Cuttlebug; Other: Sewing, string, colored pencils (used for title), staples, heart punch, brads)


I love how Robyn used stamps with cardstock to create her own pattern paper! And notice how she embossed her stamped image!! So cute. I also love how she cut her picture into a shape and stitched on her layout...very fun.

Summer Inspiration #8

Okay...

here's the last of our summer inspiration!  We hope you've had fun joining us each week as we've shared our projects and layouts with you.

"Precious Baby Ryker"  By Kim Loewen

(supplies:  bling, ghost letters, silhouette word, chipboard letters, masks: Heidi Swapp;   dragonfly transparency: My Mind's Eye;  gold paint pen: Krylon;  ink: Tim Holtz;  jewels: other)

I love decorating frames and shadow boxes...it just adds so much to a room.  This one hangs in Ryker's room, but I'm thinking of hanging it right on his door.  It might be cute!  (These even make great gifts).

And...

make sure you check back next week for a new challenge...and something very exciting!!!

Summer Inspiration #7

Hello, hello!




Here's my last layout of the summer to share with you all...







"Hand In Hand" by Talia Audenart
(supplies: patterned paper, ribbon, pink chipboard letters, die-cut accents: Making Memories; mirror, paper flower, green chipboard letters, polka-dot mask: Heidi Swapp; glimmer mist: Tattered Angels; buttons: KI Memories; photo by Rebecca Cooper)



I am just so in love with the Making Memories Noteworthy line lately...I honestly have to make myself try to use other products, but I just keep going back to it! (notice my fave color combo yet again??) I like using the die-cut paper for my layouts...something different and fun, and they are just oh, so beautiful.



Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you've all had a wonderful summer! Come next week for some more summer inspiration, and then we'll back in September with a fresh new challenge for you!




See you soon,
Talia:)

Summer Inspiration #6

"ride" By Kim Loewen
(supplies: overlay, colored pencils, mask, die cut shape: Heidi Swapp; patterned paper: Sassafrass Lass, Scenic Route; acrylic stamps: Autumn Leaves, Pink Paislee; Brad, black journaling pen: American Crafts)



I'm all about simple lately. Anything that I can actually accomplish quickly is a bonus around here with summer being super busy and an almost two year old that keeps me on my toes.... But I love this layout! I love the light background and the simple embellishments. If you only have a few minutes to get something done...then try something simple. It will keep your creative mind going!!



See you next week!

Kim :)

Summer Inspiration #5

How are all of your summers going? I can't believe it is already August...one more month of summer left. I love this time of year! I hope you are all making the most of it.



Here's my project for today...








"Beautiful April" by Talia Audenart
(supplies: 9x9 calendar, ghost clocks, acrylic stamps, jeweled brads, chipboard letters: Heidi Swapp; patterned paper: Basic Grey, Sassafrass Lass, My Mind's Eye; felt flowers: KI Memories; other: ribbon)



One of the things I'm working on this year is this 2008 calendar. I love the idea of having a layout/month...it's a great way to document a year. This is my April page! At the end of every month I make sure I jot down all the important details on my calendar, and then I can do the actual scrapbook page whenever I have a chance. Since I organize my photos on my computer by the month, it's easy for me to choose photos from the correct month to use on my layouts. Hope you like it!



Thanks for coming by, we'll see you next week!!



Talia:)
