Finally figured out the photo thing!

Photos are elemetal to a Stampin' blog and I could't figure out bow to add them! I'm pretty computer savvy, but it took me a while...probably because my boys were asking for stuff. :)

This is a 12x12 page I created for the Stampin' Up! Friends Online Unconvention last week. I taught a class focusing on creating pages with stamps and papers (OK, I added a ribbon). But I wanted to showcase how easy scrapbooking can be with stamps becuase they're so versatile. If you wat to recreate the page, here are the supplies and directions. Enjoy

Directions
· Using the Certainly Celery CSP and the stamp with polkadots and open circles on it from Itty Bitty Backgrounds, stamp a background all over the 12x12 Certainly Celery CS.

· Cut two 1x12-inch strips of Barely Banana CS.

· Using the So Saffron CSP and the polkadots from Itty Bitty Backgrounds, stamp backgrounds on the strips.

· Cut two 1.5x12-inch strips of Brocade Blue CS.

· Place one Brocade Blue Card Stock strip all the way in the slit punch at the corner of the strip and punch. Repeat for the entire length of the strip being very careful to line the side up with the edge of the previous slit. This will make a scalloped border. Repeat with the second strip. Remove the top layer of paper that punches off.

· Adhere to the back of the Barely Banana Strips, but DON’T glue down about two inches from the end of each strip so you can hide the blue in the back and get a nice corner.

· Adhere one strip to the left side of the page and one to the top of the page making sure to tuck the blues in behind the yellow so you get a yellow corner and then a blue corner. Glue down.

· Cut two 4.25 x 6.25 pieces of Barely Banana Card Stock. Round the corners if desired.

· Stamp the same polkadot background on the pieces as you did the strips in So Saffron.

· Select your photos, 4x6 size, and round the corners if you rounded the corners on the mats.

· Mat the photos with the stamped 4.25x6.25 pieces of Barely Banana. Adhere to the pages about 1 inch from the left border and one inch from the top border and about 1 inch in between, as shown.

· Cut a 3.5 x 2.5 piece of Brocade Blue Card Stock and round corners if desired.

· Cut a 3.25x2.25 piece of Whisper White Card Stock. Round corners if desired. This area becomes your area to journal or document the events you are scrapping about.

· If desired, use the horizontal slot punch to create a hole and loop a 3-inch piece of celery grosgrain ribbon trough the slot to make it look like a tag.

· Make sure to write your journaling before you glue to the page so you can redo if necessary.
· Mount to the bottom right of the page, centered next to the bottom picture.

· Using the Be Happy Stamp Set, stamp one Certainly Celery Flower on Whisper White CS. Cut it out, mat with a scrap of Brocade Blue CS and cut out again leaving a border.

· Using a Dimmensional or Glue Dot, adhere to the corner of the page covering the seam from the Barely Banana Cardstock corner.

· Stamp the Smile stamp in So Saffron on Whisper White two times. Punch out using the 1 ¼ circle punch.

· Punch out to Brocade Blue 1 3/8 circles and mat your smiles with them.
· Stamp the Enjoy stamp in Brocade Blue on Whisper White two times. Punch out with the 1 ¼ square punch.

· Punch out 2 So Saffron 1 3/8 squares and use them to mat the Enjoy Squares.

· Alternate the Smiles and Enjoys down the left side of the page, adhering with Dimmensionals.

· Stamp the Laugh, play and share stamp in Brocade Blue on Whisper White and cute out. Mat with Barely Banana. Adhere to the page with 2 Dimmensionals, one on each of two alternating corners, linking the two photos together.

· Lastly, you need to title your page. I Chose to use the Short order Alphabet, punch out the letters with my 1 ¼ circle punch and mat with 1 3/8 brocade blue circles. You can also simply handwrite your title, use a different Alphabet, etc…
