Scrapbooking in Sydney

What a fantastic time I am having while staying at my son and daughter in laws place in Sydney. Each day we are out and about and in the evenings we scrapbook…til very late! Now…that’s what I call a holiday!

I thought I would share my pages with you…well those I have nearly finished. I am still here until next Sunday (the 11th of October) so may get even more done. I have used mostly my Stampin Up papers and stamps, but the last few pages are from paper I brought at a papercraft show. I don’t normally buy any other product than Stampin Up as I have discovered that there is too much waste when using other products. Once again…I have to fully endorse Stampin Up! – with the papers, inks and embellishments all co-ordinating, if you don’t use up a whole piece of paper on one scrapbook page, you will certainly have a use for it later on, either on another page or on a card! But as I am on holiday and only brought a certain amount over with me…I am beginning to run out of my supplies. Must bring more over next time!

The papers I have used are from ‘Good morning Sunshine’ DSP, ‘Urban Garden’ DSP and ‘Sweet always’ DSP. I have also use the White, Pacific Point, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Basic Grey 12×12 textured card. Embellishments are from a variety of products including Stampin Up.

Most of the pages are still waiting for the journaling. I need to access my computer at home to find out dates before I can write the details in. I also want to sew in some of the buttons and maybe accessorise some pages a bit more. But, I have had so much fun and I hope that you can be inspired to be creative as well and maybe get some ideas from my pages.

Yes..I have been busy :-)

A variety of Stampin Up Scrapbook pages and cards that I have made during the last 2 weeks. The more I use Stampin Up cardstock and accessories…the more I love them. It is so good to be able to match the card, the ink and ribbons. It makes scrapbooking so much easier and also helps when buying product. You know that you will use the paper and that you will have less wasteage! It is also good to be able to check out the range of colours available with Stampin Up products and to find out what colours match together. Then you can use that information when creating your page or card. It’s also great to be able to stamp an image and use it in your scrapbooking layout, knowing that you can select the ink to match the colours on the page. Lots of fun! Don’t forget…WOW…Welcome on Wednesdays at 10am. A time to get together and hopefully create your own beautiful scrapbooking page, or maybe a card or two! email me at pamperstamper@gmail.com

‘WOW’ Welcome on Wednesday cards

So here is a display of some of the creative results from Wednesday. Many thanks to Chris, Jordan and Carolyn. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable morning. I also did another page with the ‘Sweet Nothings’ Scrapbooking set. That makes 5 pages from that set and 4 from the ‘Petal Party’…and I still have lots of product left. These kits are amazing and well worth purchasing! Email me for details 🙂

My First Blog

Hi and welcome to my first blog. This is so exciting and yet also a little scary. I became an independent ‘Stampin Up’ demonstrator in May 2009 and so far have only purchased for me! With all the other interests in my life I am finding that I haven’t as much spare time for ‘Stampin Up’ as I had hoped. So to make a committment to actually making this work, I have decided to allocate every Wednesday morning to Stamping and Scrapbooking (you have to start somewhere). If you are interested in Card making or Scrapbooking and live in the Waitara area, please feel free to contact me and I will let you know where I live and the details for our Wednesday morning get together. I have made some scrapbook pages with the ‘Sweet nothings’ and the ‘Petal Party’ simply scrappin kits and will post some photos of those for you. ‘Stampin Up’ is so much fun! I just wish I had more spare hours in my day 🙂
