Dino Borders

Hello! It's a crazy week this week, but I wanted to share one thing with you before the holiday. This border set is for a swap on SCS - boy themed. I just adore these cute dinos. They are from My Grafico digital stamps. The paper is all SU except for the DP which is DCWV. Buttons and ribbon are misc from my stash (I think I got the buttons from Wal-Mart in the sewing section - great deal!). Dinos are hightlighted with Stickles. The journal stamp is embossed with white embossing powder. Just need add paper and pictures to create my scrapbook layout!

Thanks for looking and happy stamping!

Father's Day Border Set

So, we are getting hit with a lovely ice storm today. I am SO tired of winter. But then, I'm definitely not a cold-weather person. I should be washing dishes out of our now broken dishwasher, but I'd rather be here...posting:)

Here is a border set I made a few weeks ago (yes, I am a little behind here) for a holiday border swap. Sorry about the picture quality. I took it with our old camera right before it died.


I love the paper that I found at JA's for this. It's a little hard to see, but it's blues and chocolate browns stripes (duh) and paisley. I can't remember the alphabet name for some reason, but it is SU. The truck is Loads of Love, and the journal box was a rectangle I used my corner rounder on (great tool I think). On the top border, I used dark brown brads (they are so cool) and the bottom one I used my little deco stapler with blue staples. The smile box I cut out on the Cricut (Fabulous Finds cartridge.)

Well, I'm off to wash dishes now. I think I've put that off as long as possible if I want to cook dinner tonight (hey, we have a small kitchen)!

Happy stamping!

My Neglected Scrapbook

I have realized of late that I have been neglecting my scrapbooks. I've been making so many cards and other projects, that the scrapbooks have fallen low on my list. But that's ok. I have a plan.
I've joined a few border layout swaps and 8x8 page swaps. All of which are very easy to do. So I'm hoping I can get back to my scrapbook after the first of the year and put all these wonderful layouts to use!
Basically for a border swap, you make the titles, accents, sometime photo boxes and journaling pieces, and supply your own paper to create your own layout. I hope these inspire you too!

Happy stamping!
