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.
