Shelli's Creative Challenge

I decided to enter another one of Shelli's Creative Challenges (you can too, by the way!). This month is to create using color combinations from the new Color Coach. I was skeptical at even purchasing this new tool because I hardly used the old one, but I figured, hey, I'll give it a try! I must say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new color coach! It's so easy to use and the color combos are just stunning. When I am stumped on how to coordinate colors on a project, I turn to my color coach... it's a must-have for us crafters!

So here is my entry:



This is a page from our Spain 2010 album I am currently working on. It uses the Baja Breeze, Cajun Craze, and Basic Gray creative combo. I never would've thought to use these colors together, but they work very well with my pictures! Once I have completed our whole album, I will post the rest of the pages back here. Crossing my fingers and hoping to get it all done within the next few months! I'm still sorting through a few thousand pictures to narrow down which ones to scrapbook!

Supplies:
Stamps- none
Ink- Whisper White
Paper- Baja Breeze Script DSP, Baja Breeze Brocade DSP, Baja Breeze textured cardstock, Cajun Craze cardstock, Whisper White cardstock
Accessories- square punch, scallop square punch, Basic Gray round buttons

August Stamp Club

For my stamp club this month, I decided to feature products from the summer mini since most things in it will only be availabe until the end of the month. The idea came to me to alter black and white composition notebooks and have an altered pen to match. Living in Italy, practically everyone has travelled somewhere at some point, and I thought... hmm, wouldn't it be nice to have one place to jot down the things we saw and experienced? So for this month, we made this:



Of course everyone else's was just a little different because of the variety of designer series paper, but they all kept the same basic layout.

Supplies:
Stamps- Sentimental Journey
Ink- Bashful Blue Classic Stampin' Pad, Versamark
Paper- Travel Journal DSP, Pumpkin Pie cardstock, Kraft cardstock, Night of Navy cardstock, Whisper White cardstock
Accessories- Big Shot, Billboard decorative strip die, scallop circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1" circle punch, 1/16" circle punch, scallop trim border punch, composition book, RSVP pen
