Here are two versions (I ran out of patterned paper) of the 12x12 layout I did for November's stamp club. Since some of the girls don't celebrate Christmas, I tried to stick to a generic winter theme. The only real technique on this layout was the use of a "mirror image stamp" to get both deer to face into the title. Mirror Image stamps aren't easy to find (I had to buy mine on the internet) but I do think it is something every stamper should have in their arsenal of supplies.
This was Stamp Club's October Scrapbook page. I don't know if you can tell from the picture but, the crumb cake card stock was stamped with whisper white ink for a subtle effect. The title was done on my QuicKutz Silhouette.
My new stamp club requested that I create a 12x12 layout for each club meeting. This is a bit of a challenge for me because I usually do 2 page layouts and I usually design them around the pictures I am working with. So here is my first one. I'm really proud of the way the background paper came out. At first the girls thought this was a piece of patterned paper and when I showed them that I had stamped all of the images myself they were shocked. I have to say I'm not the best at lining the images up, but once I put the photo mats and title on no one noticed. I know it's not Stampin' Up but it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to do a scrapbook page with using my QuicKutz Silhouette (digital craft cutter - used to cut title). It is my favorite scrap booking tool of ALL TIME.
Some of you have requested that I start posting some of my 12x12 scrapbook layouts. This is one of my favorites. While my son and I were at the KU bookstore looking for Daddy's Christmas gifts, Ethan decided to try on one of the Jayhawk hats. Thank goodness I learned to keep a camera in my purse for moments like this.
