Awhile back I shared some scrapbook pages I have been making. Here are a couple more.
I love the Trim die that can be used with the Big Shot. The scallops are really nice!!
GREAT scrapbooking samples.
Great samples from the NEW catalog.

Liking the posts of items made from New stuff in the 2011-2011 Idea Book & Catalog? I will have more, don't you worry :-).
Today I am back with a couple more scrapbook pages.
Here are pages from Layout 4.
I started with the circle pieces for each side. I think they measure 4 x 12.
When I do a 2 page spread, I will a lot of times "doctor" up one of the two pages while toning down the other one. I don't like it when my layout overwhelms the pictures that I have on the page.
These pages are just made with some basic cutting. I have also used the Scallop Trim Border punch to add a little pizzazz (118402).

Here is the 3rd two page layout for my Christmas Album.
One thing I like to do is coordinate the pen with the scrapbook page. Did you know that we have markers and that they have two tips? Yes, they do!! One tip is for writing and the other is more like a paintbrush tip. How cool is that. So, when you order your things for your scrapbook, don't forget to throw in a marker or two while you are at it.
You can check out the other layers by going to www.stampinsandy.com. Check out Layout 1 and Layout 2 to get the scoop on colors and such.
Yesterday I said I would talk about scrapbooks.
Our albums come with page protectors in them. You then slide your scrapbook page inside the page protectors. I love our albums. The pages are very durable. I do not have a problem letting my kids play with the scrapbooks and look at them. That is beauty of scrapbooking right? Sharing?
We have albums in 6 x6, 12 x 12, 8 ½ x 11, and 8 x8.
The view the scrapbooks (or another word is albums) go to www.sandyh.stampinup.net. Click Shop Now. Search for album and they will all show up.

Here is Layout 2 from my Scrapbooking Weekend.
Again, I used the same patterned paper and the background paper of Crumb Cake. These pages are 12 x 12. I got out my Big Shot and also my scallop punch. Scallop punch is 119882. For the curvy borders and such I used the Tasteful Trim Die 120893 that I used in the Big Shot.
Here is Layout 1 for you to take a look at.
Yesterday I gave you the idea of doing the same thing with new paper. Today, I am going to give you a suggestion on putting together a vacation album.
For a vacation album, it is the same process. You will need:
Let me talk a bit about the patterned paper and cardstock today. I will talk about albums tomorrow.
For a vacation album, your paper choice is going to vary just a bit. What kind of vacation was it?
For me, a vacation is an outdoorsy vacation. A good choice for me would be the Well Worn paper from the New Idea Book and Catalog.
Here are the colors that go with the Well Worn cardstock.
What color to use for the background? You could choose either Soft Suede or River Rock. Either one would be a good choice.
Be back tomorrow – I will have Layout 3 for you. I will also talk about Scrapbooks.

When I use MDS, I usually start with a template and work my way around from there. This page is no exception. Summer Home I think is the name of the template. Absolutely LOVE that template. I like how all the pictures boxes are in there and the page is layed out. I can modify things from there, but I start with the basics.
Remember, you can earn some free downloads. $400 of them to be exact!!!
I sent this page into Stampin' Up! to get printed. I hope to see it in my hands really soon. I will share the finished product. This is a 12 x 12 page. Did you know it is only $2.99 to print a 12 x 12? Amazing!!
I was supposed to head out to be with a group of scrapbookers last night. But, I have strep throat. I didn't figure the girls wanted that :-). I sent them the layout this layout we were going to make. We will make it in March. No worries!
This is the layout we will be making. I have a hard time with white space sometimes. I guess in this layout it is pacific point space J. This is an easy layout for a lot of reasons.
Easy because all of you pictures can be different sizes. Easy because you can incorporate a lot of pictures in these two pages. Easy because it can be adopted for a lot of different reasons to scrapbook.
Materials used:
Cardstock: pacific point, pink pirouette
Extras: Big Shot, Scallop oval die, Go Go boots die
Enjoy!
Is the Big Shot on your list? If so, get him now!! Honestly, I don't know how I lived without him.
If you purchase him now, you can earn free stamp stuff. He is $99.95. Add a little item and you are at $100. At $100, you can pick two items from the Sale-a-bration catalog. And, you can get a free catalog on online orders.
How to do this??
Sandy
In the last few months, I have been doing some scrapbooking of my own. I used to do a TON of it, but it took the back burner for a little while. I was kind of in a organization slump, I guess you would call it. Or, the Hollander in me kicked in. You know, digital scrapbooking is here. Well, you probably know where all my pictures are. And, Devon was born last year. I think there are probably 5,000 pictures of him alone on our computer. My goodness. What to do with all those pictures? Well, duh, right? First of all, print them!!! That is where the Hollander kicked in – what if I don't know which ones I want to print? Eeekk!! I might spend 19 cents on a picture I don't need. What a tragedy! So, I am staring to let go of those 19 precious cents and get some pics developed. Here is a layout for you that I did at a scrapbooking workshop. These two pages are 12 x 12.
The colors are barely banana, certainly celery, bashful blue, and pretty in pink.
Don't you love the h? that is done with the sticky cut letters and dazzling diamonds glitter.
If not, what you are you waiting for? These little guys are AWESOME!!
There are quite a few of them in the catalog, on pages 172 to 175. They all include:
Here I am showcasing the Home Again Simply Scrappin' Kit.
This first picture shows you the cover sheet you will receive with your kit. There are a ton of neat ideas right there to get you started.
These next two pictures are 12 x 12 pages that I made using the cardstock and patterned cardstock that come in the kit. I am going to use these as a 2-page layout.
This next picture is one of all of the sticky diecut embellishments that you get. Some of them are used. I did a Scrap a Stack party the other night and we made these pages. Some of the embellishments were used on the gal's pages that they were able to take home. Too much fun!!
Last, but not least, these are the two pages (from above) that I have decorated with some of the embellishments from the above picture.
Now, all we need is the pictures!
If you would like to know more information about a Scrap a Stack and being a hostess, contact me today!! The benefits are lifelong -- just like scrapbooking!
