At the June crop I borrowed a new stamp set called Dino Days. I wasn't sure if I would buy it and wanted to play around with it to create a few cards. I did some Pinterest searching for inspiration and found a few cards using rectangles of colour with stamped images. This is a great simple card. I stamped each dinosaur in the colour it is stamped on but you could get the same outcome by using Versamark.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday at Crop Kingston's June Crop in support of Make A Wish, we raised just over $60. The first two projects were designed by me.

A quick card using pieces from the Come Sail Away Memories & More card pack and some embellishments. The lighthouse image is a 3" x 4" Memories & More card as is the pretty 4" x 6" compass card that was used on the card base. The brown trim behind the main card is from the cardstock stickers included in the card pack.

Supplies
Stamps: None
Colours: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Night of Navy
Accessories: Come Sail Away Memories & More card pack, Assorted Memories & More cards and envelopes, Sail Away Trinkets, Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine, Stampin' Dimensionals

Welcome to June's Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Birthdays and Parties.

I found these pictures of Hoover waiting to be scrapped and knew they would be perfect for today's blog hop. The background paper is a sheet from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper pack. The frame around the main photo was made using the largest die of the Rectangle Stitched dies, then trimmed around the outside to create the thickness I wanted. I discovered when creating this page that the only current stamp set I have with candles or birthday hats was the Celebrate with Cake stamp set from the Stamping for Beginners brochure but it is a perfect fit!

Supplies
Stamps:  Celebrate with Cake
Colours:  Seaside Spray, Sahara Sand, Early Espresso, Whisper White
Accessories:  Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper, Rectangle Stitched dies, Everyday Label Punch, Ribbon Punch Stampin' Dimensionals

Blog Hop List:

Currently I am working on filling gaps in my scrapbooks - right now working on 2005, 2007 and 2008. The pictures used in this layout were just popped into a page waiting to be made into a completed layout! The opposite page was a 12" x 12" layout that was completed in 2010, as shown below.

Welcome! Thank you to those that came to my Chocolate & Cards event last night at my home. We ate mini Mars bars and Peanut M&Ms while we crafted! Today's card is one we made last night.

I was inspired from a swap card I received at my upline's team meeting this past Sunday from Vicki. She used the Free as a Bird suite for her entire card. I was going to copy her exact card, had everything cut and ready to stamp and assemble. Then when I was going to glue the designer series paper onto the card base I noticed the gulls and decided to switch up the card and use the Sailing Home stamp set instead!
