Scrappin' Up!

My scrapbook style is pretty simple. I like clean with minimal stuff. Mostly a black page with pictures and small little titles or stories below. I think it comes from looking at my mom's books as a kid so there is a whole nostalgic side to it. Besides, I look dated enough in the photos, I don't need to embelish it. :)

Here is my challenge. I have a new club that started last month and it is a scrapbooking club. Some of these gals are serious pros! Talk about intimidated! But I love a challenge and I love to create so I jumped in with both feet! The blue layout was my first month. I thought it was ok, cute mittens using a cuttlebug folder. But the gals were done in record time! I tried to add more this month without it feeling cluttered. I did not want to lose the pictures. How did I do? I will admit, I kind of like it. Imagine that. :)

I'll try to be back tomorrow with pictures of last month's stamp club items. My sister, I mean my downline keeps reminding me to share those.

Sneak peek of the goodies

My new clubs are starting this week and I am so excited. I know, I am always excited. But they let me stamp with them anyway. I like to make them little thank you gifts and well, I love to stamp. This one was super easy. I will give dimensions later, I have to finish getting ready for tonight and clean up the mess I made while I finished them. They are all made from current designer papers, yummy ribbons and laminated so they will last. In there is a note pad to make Wish Lists and sticky notes to mark their pages. Yea!
