Wrap up summer with a fun mini album using Stampin' Up's Etcetera Designer Series Paper and a few embellishments from Little Yellow Bicycle.  I used a canvas mini album from Michael's to design this fun album to highlight a fabulous summer!  I have 5 kits left which include everything but your pictures and adhesives.  Kits are $20 which includes postage.  Order your kit at lyndafalconer57@gmail.com  or call me at
662-820-1135.  Feel free to use my design for
yourself, I just ask that you not sell it.

Page 1 (on back side of cover)

All materials in album are Stampin' Up unless otherwise indicated. 

 

Besides Etcetera papers, page 1 includes a strip of Gingham Garden Washi Tape on the top and canvas adhesive words from Little Yellow Bicycle.  I suggest you adhere the picture before adding the embellishments.


The album is designed for 3 x 5 inch pictures but you could crop some 4 x 6 pics to fit.

SU Scrap Camp Projects

     As promised, here are the make and takes we did at Scrap Diva Day Camp, besides the mini album.  In keeping with the nature theme of camp, the nesting cards were altered from a design in a SU catalog.  I liked the crispness of the white background but most campers preferred the crumb cake version with the inked edges!   The nest is made of brown shredded paper for gift wrapping.

 Of course you've got to have clothespins at camp!  So our version was very simple - using Gingham Garden Washi tape to cover one side of the clothespin and a magnetic strip on the other side.  It will hold a piece of paper on the fridge but will need stronger magnets to do anything heavier.  Does anyone know of a strong stick-on magnetic strip?  These were the standard strips you get at Michael's. 

 

 The third project was to introduce the new Tag It Accessory Kit.  We used the butterfly punches and framelit die and sentiment stamps to make these darling tags.  I think one of them is from the picture in the catalog.  Clear buttons tied with white baker's twine top the butterflies.  So easy!

I'll post the Summer Fun full mini album tomorrow.

I'm struggling with pictures in Blogger.  For example, I can't delete this duplicate.  When I click it I get the dots on the corners but not the pop up tool bar that lets me change the size or remove it.  I also can't get it to let me put to pics side by side.  Not sure where I can adjust the layout format to do that.  Any suggestions?  Anyone?  Anyone??  LOL

Thank you to all the fabulous Divas who scrapped the day away at Scrap Diva Day Camp July 27th!  It was so much fun to go back to camp, Diva style, with s'mores, burgers on the grill, tents full of chocolate, goodie bags (with crowns of course), bandanas, camp awards - you get the picture!  A few mosquitos sneaked into the campsite while we cooked s'mores on the grill, but other than that, we didn't feel like we missed out on smelly latrines, bugs, or snakes!  I did however see a snake wrapped around a branch in our tree out the bathroom window today.  But that's as close as I will have to get to him!

I didn't get too many great pics but know our camp photographer, Natalie, will come through for us!  Here are a few of my shots but I'll share what Natalie sends later.  I 'd be happy to share the ballots for awards and the scavenger hunt but don't know how to blog a word document.  If you subscribe to my blog then email me at lyndafalconer57@gmail.com and I'll send you a copy.  Just tell me which ones you want.

 I can't get the blog to let me change sizes on any of the pics so it won't be pretty but the fabulous ladies IN the pics are beautiful!!!  Will post projects another day when I have better luck!

Our big camp project was a Summer Fun mini album made with Stampin Up's Etcetera Designer Series Paper.  I may have a few kits for sale once I get more canvas albums.  Just email me at lyndafalconer57@gmail.com if you're interested and I'll get back to you.  Kits will be $20 plus postage.  It will come with colored pics of every page and all the materials you need to complete it.  Most pieces are already cut out so it's quick to put together.  The cover is the most intricate page.  You're welcome to copy it but  don't sell it or take credit for the design please.  Here's the cover.  I'll   I'll post the rest later this week so be sure to check back.  Stay cool - literally!

Road trip tomorrow to Sheila Brown's Stamp Club in Brandon, MS!  Sheila has been so sweet to share ideas and help me get my Stampin' Up business started.  I look forward to spending the afternoon with her stamp club and learning more about how to be a successful demonstrator!  Thank you Sheila!

Summer is in full swing in The Delta - the drive through the farmland on the way to town is beautiful!  The corn here grows taller than a man and the soy beans are mid thigh high!  I've never seen anything like it!  The Crepe Myrtle outside my window is a deep red and in full bloom.  Larry brought in 2 green peppers and 2 huge yellow squash from his garden today.  Life is sweet!

Be sure to click the "follow" link so you'll get updates when posts are added.  Next time I'll share pictures from camp and all the make and takes.  Stay cool - literally!          - Lynda

New Catalog Is Out!!!

The 2013-14 Stampin' Up Catalog is out and you're gonna love it!  So many cute ideas I can't decide what to do next.  I am going to try to make a link here but if it doesn't work you can always go to the catalog at my Stampin' Up Website at www.lyndafalconer.stampinup.net. 

So far the Gingham Garden Designer Paper and new In Colors are my favorites but there are so many possibilities I can't get to them fast enough!  If you're close by, join us for monthly workshops or the upcoming Scrap Diva Day Camp in July (TBA).

Mojo Monday 297

Here's my first attempt at a Mojo Monday challenge from
mojomonday.blogspot.com.  I used Stampin' Up's Gingham Garden and new vintage buttons to bring on the sunshine!  Hope you like it.
 Need feedback on good cameras for posting pics on web.  My cell phone pics just don't translate well.  I have an iphone 5 and it takes good pics.

SU's Gingham Garden Card

Love, love, love Stampin' Up's new Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper!  Made a fun birthday card from a design by Jana Edward's of Jana's Creations.  Then I used scraps to make name tags for my outgoing orders.  Too fun!  Love the summery feel!
