June 22-- Tin Foil Tags by Gail
June 24-- Scrapbook Layout by Sandy

Let's get started !!
Say the first word that comes to you when you hear 
"The Great Outdoors"...
CAMPING!
We are a camping family in the summer! Can't get more outdoors than that!

For today's hop post, I wanted to show an easy tutorial. We are using stamps to make a very easy and cute layout. Stamps are a great way to personalize your pages.

Easy Scrapbook Layout
by Sandy Hentzel

Materials needed:
Stamps
Ink
Cardstock
Paper Slicer
Adhesive
markers or pencils
(photos)

You can make your layout base any size. The most popular is 8x8, 12x12 and 8.5x11.
For my project, I went with an 8x8 white base so that the stamps will show up nicely.
Using color card stock, I decided I wanted a triple mat. HTe first one measures 4x6 and 
then the greens go up by an 1/4inch.

 After cutting out your mattes, place your stamps (clean) on your layout to give you an idea
of placement. You don't want anything to cover your photos.

Using your ink, you will then stamp your images. You can either stamp all your images in black
or you can use color ink like I did here. 

After I stamp my images, I used my Prisma Color pencils to color them.  I wanted to you the sentiment "Eat, Sleep, Camp" as an embellishment so I fussy cut it and will adhere it over top of the photo with some pop dots.  Stamps make great embellishments if you are stuck on sticker ideas.

And here is the final layout. All I need is my favorite photo of the kiddos camping last year and put it in the family coffee table scrap book.

I hope this tutorial inspires you to use your stamps on something other than a card.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
