TIOT #26 - Scrapbook It!

Oh my! I've made only a handful of scrapbook pages in the last couple of years so when we were challenged to create a scrapbook page for this week's Try It Out Tuesday I was a little iffy. BUT, I got lucky! When I had all the kids over for a few days a couple of weeks ago I snapped a picture of them crowded around a tree and my son Marcus said "Look, Mommy! We're a family tree!" and I thought he was just so clever! I had also taken other "tree photos" at different times and realized each time more kids seem to have "sprouted".

The next dilemma was which SCACD stamp should I use. Lo and behold! Little Helper from Anki's Sweethearts Series 2 jumped out with wood in hand and ready to build the Kim Family Tree. I was almost STUMPED (hehehehe) by this challenge, but I think I pulled through: Scrapbook Page Recipe:

Stamp: Little Helper

Ink: StazOn black

Paper: DCWV Latte Stack, SU Bella Rose designer paper, SU cs (Real Red, Kool Kraft, Basic Brown, Sahara Sand), watercolor paper

Accessories: Karen Foster Scrappers Floss (White, Brown), buttons, Sticky Strips, Cricut machine, Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, computer generated "Building the Kim" (Comic Sans font), watercolor markers

At least that's one scrapbook page down and only 1,000 more to go! Please visit the Follow Your Heart blog to see what the rest of the SCACD DT came up with :).

  12. This LO is GORGEOUS!! Love the tree idea, the way you layered the pics and left some "white" space -- I can never do that and it looks GREAT! Your coloring is beautiful.
