This stamp - Dasher, can be found on page 208 with the Under $12 stamps avaliable in the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalogue. I've had this guy for awhile now and thought he needed to be inked up. Not sure if I like the look, I'm thinking using Real Red for the card base might be the issue. So you might see this card again in a different colour.

Supplies
Stamps: Dasher
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Real Red, Sahara Sand, Christmas Cocoa Speciality Paper, Whisper White
Accessories: Kraft taffeta ribbon, scallop edge punch, gold embossing powder

These ice cream cones are very simple to make. Punch out 2 "flavors" of ice cream, in this case it's pumkin and curry (interesting if they were real eh?) and you want to cut at least 4 to 5 bumps off each scallop circle to create the bottom of the scoop. Then I used the Square 1-3/8" punch for the cone, but remember to clip each side to create the cone shape! On the right cone I used a white gel pen and the other cone I used the texturz plates with the big shot to create a realistic pattern.

Just had to make a cherry cone! I spiced this one up a bit with some embossing (although you could just use white craft ink instead). What flavours would this one be? Cherry chip and Strawberry maybe? Sounds good.

I like many others have mountains of printed photos and space taken up on hard drives or flash drives (both in my case) by digital photos. Most of these photos need a permanent home in a scrapbook of some kind or another.

These photos in today's finished page date back to our first apartment, well over 8 years ago. Man was it that long now? In order to accomplish this daunting task (remember all the photos I talked about) I have been trying to keep the layouts simple and clean. Stampin' Up!'s Simply Scrappin' Kits are awesome for that reason. They include designer paper, textured card stock and self adhesive die-cuts. You can whip out a few layouts without much fuss. I'm headed back to do more scrapping!
