Celebrating Canada 150

Two cute layouts for you today.  We shared a fabulous Canada Day with our family.  The highlight, of course, is being able to spend time with our grandsons!  Marshall celebrated his first Canada Day at the age of 6 months and in true Canadian style, complete with maple leaf tattoos, sunhat and t-shirt.

I like to put lots of photos on each page and sometimes it's a bit challenging to fit them in and add embellishments too!  This was not my original thought, but once I started moving the photos around I was able to make it work.  Three of the photos are printed in a 3x4" size, thanks to my handy Epson photo printer.  I would recommend one to any scrapbooker, for sure!

Products used:  Paper from Bazzill Basics, Scrapbook Customs, Echo Park and BoBunny, the cute number stickers are from Bella Blvd, and the maple leaves cut from Sizzix dies.

Here's the page I did for my older grandson who played in his Grandpa's band as part of the Canada Day celebration.  Hard to see him in the photo, but he's there.  Also sporting red and white and tattoos everywhere!

Sometimes all you need is the right paper.  This paper is from Scrapbook Customs.  All I did was add some letters (these are Basic Grey alpha stickers), and my photos... There was nothing else I wanted to add.  I used a craft knife to cut around part of the maple leaf so that I can tuck the photo behind it.

Hope you have had a chance to scrapbook your Canada Day.  If not we have lots of Canada papers, embellishments, stickers, even maple leaf brads...

Memories at the Lake, Thank You Card

Here is a fun and simple card to say thanks for your summer memories.  

 Made with journal cut outs from Bella Blvd's Camp Out paper, some wrapped twine from Maya Road, and a sentiment sticker (from Basic Grey).  I mounted everything onto bright red cardstock and used white cardstock as a base (cardstock from Bazzill Basics.

To make a card in a few minutes?  Brilliant!

Summer Cards with Bella Blvd and Bazzill Basics

I had so much fun making these cards today with sweet CampOut papers from Bella Blvd.  I started cutting the borders, but couldn't resist the 2x2 inch tags, which are the perfect size for cards. And, I used Bazzill Basics for the solid backgrounds and used their heavy Card Shoppe cardstock for my card bases.  

Here's some closeups:

I cut the cute bear and trees from the Borders cardstock and used 3D adhesive to bring him out front.  He is so cute.  

These border strips were all cut separately and glued back together on the solid background.  Two little brads were added to attach the 2x2 tag.  It doesn't get any easier!

Border strips were cut and adhered to the background, 2x2 inch tag adhered to a square, scored piece of cardstock and simply wrapped.  

Last, but certainly not least, I cut the 2x2 tag into a circle shape, and added a chipboard life saver, patterned paper from Carta Bella, and a bit of bling from Eyelet Outlet, plus a tiny bit of distress ink and Glossy Accents from Tim Holtz and Ranger.

That was my day.  Hope you enjoyed the great weather on this August long weekend.

Make sure to order the CampOut collection.  It is going fast!
