Nature Steno Pad

I'm sharing an altered steno pad I made for a swap with my local stampers this month.  I decorated my steno pad with a butterfly and flowers.  I added an inspirational saying and inked the edges.  In return I will receive one made by another stamper in our local group.  Fun!

Red Rubber Designs Blog Hop - Happily Grateful

Today, each member of the design team created a scrapbook page featuring the June Spotlight Stamp Set "Happily Grateful".  This month is my 45th anniversary to my husband Phil.  Since Red Rubber Designs is focusing on scrapbooking with stamps this month, I decided to do a 12x12 layout for our anniversary. 

Check out the New Releases at Red Rubber Designs!    All month, the design team will be posting scrapbook ideas like - layouts, mini albums, art journals, and embellishment ideas etc...all using the newly released June stamp sets.  

We have a contest too - a Scavenger Hunt!  How FUN!  Each design team blog will have a different question about Red Rubber Designs and the answers can all be found in the Red Rubber Designs Store  http://www.red-rubber-designs.com/

Once you find all 7 answers to the questions, email your answers to contest@RedRubberDesigns.com with your name and email address.  If you answered correctly, your name will be entered into a drawing for the June Spotlight Stamp Set - "Happily Grateful".  One winner will be chosen at random.  Good luck and Happy Hopping!

Contest ends Sunday, June 10th at Midnight (US-CT).

The Scavenger Hunt question on my blog for you to answer is:

How many FREE tutorials are listed on the Red Rubber Designs website?

Now, to tell you about my anniversary layout. The paper I chose is Red Rubber Design's Angelee Patterned Cardstock.  I also used the tags from that set, the Angelee ribbon and the Juliette hardware.    

Above you see the 3-D flowers from Happily Grateful used as embellishments.

Below you see that I used the Distressed Typewriter Bet stamp set for the title.  

 

 Here are more close ups of the stamped elements used as embellishments.

The finished layout looks nice standing on an easel.
