July Scrapbooking

Here are this month's scrapbook pages for my monthly class. Enjoy!

Bedroom Flowers

I finally got around to adding some pretties to my walls in my bedroom. I've been struggling with the decor in my bedroom. This helps a bit, but I still need more to spice up a relatively bland room. I love these vinyl Decor Elements from Stampin Up, so easy and so elegant!

Blindingly Bold Thank You Card

I got inspired by a card in one of my recent Stampin' Up! magazines to use YoYo Yellow and Pacific Point together in a card. I know...Pacific Point is now "old news" but it's one of those colors I'm not ready to let go of yet. So this card uses the new "Kind and Caring Thoughts" Hostess set from the New Catalog, both for the flower and the greeting. I ran the yellow through the Big Shot with a Texturz plate. My scallop edge punch and some white grosgrain ribbon added some extra embellishment.

Happy Birthday Layout

Here's a layout that I made recently that I thought I'd share. It came from a kit that I picked up last year at a yard sale. I used one whole sheet of the patterned polka dot paper for this and just divided it between both pages. I added some Brocade blue to the edges of the mats. I like the Rik Rak and Gingham ribbon that came with the kit...very cute!

Happy Birthday USA!

In the spirit of our Nation's Birthday, I thought I'd share this fun invite I got from my friend Michelle last week. She hosts a fantastic Independence Day party every year and she labors every year on beautiful hand-made invitations. This year she added some sparkle on the stars, the perfect touch!
