Seven Days of Scrapbooking--Day #5

/

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a fun page I made using some of my favorite RETIRED and current things! In fact, there are more retired items on this page than current! And remember I said I would try and make a page with more than once picture? Well I can now say I did!

This page is on a base of Crumb Cake card stock with the two embossed panels also being Crumb Cake. I used the Timber 3D folder that is current and a really old polkadot folder for the other. Polka dots have really nothing to do with camping or nature…but I like them!

My youngest son and husband recently took a tent camping trip to the mountains in Alberta :)

Ridiculously Awesome was one of my FAV stamp sets so I still have it in my collection and I was so happy to pull it off the shelf for this page! I think the sentiment is absolutely perfect for this page and looks so good cut out using the Diorama Dies! I added a little Linen Thread behind as well.

The little clouds added above the trees are from the Waves Dies. I like how these clouds have an embossed design to them versus some of the other cloud shaped dies we have.

Another one of my fav sets is Mountain Air and I am so happy it gets another turn in our Annual Catalogue. It is actually a set I will hang onto no matter what. I love the accompanying Majestic Mountain Dies as I have use the tree dies on so many camping/nature projects! These are cut using Early Espresso and Soft Suede card stock.

I think the little wooden accents were from In Good Taste and I had just enough in my massive stash to add them to this page!

The trees that are stamped just behind the Timber 3D panel are from the Campology set that is also getting another run in the Annual Catalogue. I stamped it tone on tone in Crumb Cake ink.

I used another retired set on this page too called Travel Log. Basically I keep any sets that have to do with travel and adventure as we don’t always have a current option so I like to have them in my stash for projects like this.

I stamped the trees from Campology again behind the polkadot panel and this time I cut out the fun travel log image by hand. It was stamped with Soft Suede ink and both of my sentiment areas got a flicking of ink using a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend. The ‘adventure’ definition is stamped w Mossy Meadow ink on Old Olive paper and is cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also decided to add a wooden element, Metallic Dots and an Old Olive tree to this side.

I really really love how this page came together especially because I made it just for myself! Its not for a class or event display or anything. Just for me and that makes my heart happy as its actually a luxury for me at this point!

I would love to share my passion for scrapbooking with you at one of my many classes! Please reach out!
