Finally! Scraptivity Pages

I’ve been a bit behind in posting – it’s a little daunting getting started on this blog – but I finally took some pictures of my recent Scraptivity pages (that’s what I call my monthly scrapbooking club).  We use only Stampin’ Up! products for our pages.  We choose a designer series paper set, order coordinating cardstock (and sometimes a few other materials) & then I plan/prep the pages we make when we gather each month.

These are March’s pages using the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Catalog combined with the Memories & More Sweet Soiree Kit from Sale-A-Bration.  Pretty silvery bright-colored paper with the memory cards make for quick & easy layouts that are still stunning.

Memories & More Kits tend toward pocket-page scrapbooking since they are 3×4-inch & 4×6-inch cards that can easily be dropped into corresponding pocket pages.  We decided to use them in more traditional 12×12 layouts.  They can also be quickly put into cards or banners which will be coming soon on a new post 🙂

I’m looking for more Scraptivity club members – both in my area & I’m working towards having these pages as a mobile class-to-go hopefully soon! It’s great to have pages ready to go for all your scrapbooking themes! More info is on the way –

Have a sweet day!

 

The Blog

Welcome to my very FIRST Blog post!

I have been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for 10 years now (WOW!) & I recently attended my first OnStage presentation in Milwaukee this past weekend. I was able to go with my one fabulous downline, Ginger, & meet my awesome upline, Julie, there for the event.  What a wonderful day filled with new products, ideas, crafting, swapping, gifts & best of all – inspiration!

The presenters at OnStage shared incredible projects created with Stampin’ Up!’s quality products & also provided practical business suggestions…which finally encouraged me to start my own blog to share what I love to create so that hopefully you can be inspired to join me in creating beautiful handmade gifts and memories.

As I continue blogging, I plan to share items I’m working on, techniques, classes & clubs you can attend if you are in the Pella, Iowa area & hopefully some “classes to go” if you are not blessed to be nearby.  I am a scrapbooker, card-maker, banner & home decor creator!  I am also looking for others who would like to join my team! More info will be coming soon! Join me in the craft room!
