Speedy Scrapbooking Thursday, October 19, 2006

Ok, so the last few days I've hit a bit of a creativity block. I've been trying to come up with some new, fantastic cards for upcoming classes, but I'm just blocked... so today I'm posting another idea from my last class.

This is a great tip for those like me who have TONS of pictures that are awaiting scrapping. I used the photo storage pages, and matched a set to the "adorable" layout of a few days ago. By adding some mats and a journal box, you can make a storage page look great next to a layout. It's super speedy, and still looks great!

I was also asked a lot about the dual colored stamping in the above layout. To do this, I simply stamped the image in Sweet Leaf ink (the green) on a piece of cardstock, then another image in Hollyhock on another piece of cardstock. I cut out the inner part of the Hollyhock image, leaving a little bit of white around it (to ensure good coverage of the Sweet Leaf). Then, I just glued it on top. You can also do dual colored stamping using tape to tape of part of the image while inking, just be sure to remove the tape before you stamp!!

I hope your days are "creativity-block-free"!
