Thank you for ...

Hey everyone:

I was asked by my great friend, Debbie Henderson, to create a project using products from the Sale-A-Bration catalog and I didn't want to make a card this time, so thought of doing a scrapbook page, which is something I am going to start doing once a week.  

I have been telling our daughter, Elizabeth, for a while now that I'm going to start on her scrapbook (she's 29 and I haven't even started - I'm terribly behind) and when I saw this picture, which is one of my favorites of her, knew this is the one I would use. 

For this page, I used the Lift Me Up and So Very Much stamp sets from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. If you look closely, you can see that the heart on the picture was cut from the word strip and the "love" heart has been raised a little bit.  I also used the balloons from the Lift Me Up stamp set to make the right side of my page have a balloon background.  I tried something new on this page and that was to take three of my main ink colors and did the gradient color technique on my words.  I do believe I will be using this technique more often.  This was such a fun scrapbook page to create and will see myself using this layout again.  You typically see Stampin Up products on cards, but I was surprised to see how easy it was to use on pages.

Thanks Debbie for asking me to do this and look forward to the next project 😊
