SU Stars Blog Hop
Welcome to the SU Stars Blog Hop. Theme for this weekend's hop is scrapbooking. I decided to make a little mini album using the stocking die found in the Holiday mini catalog. Using the Big Shot I cut chipboard and frostwood lodge designer paper. I also cut 8 crumb cake pieces of cardstock from the stocking. Tombo liquid glue was used to adhere the designer paper stocking to the chipboard. The tree from Christmas Lodge stamp set was stamped on Shimmery white cardstock using garden green, and espresso ink. Tree was then cut out, sponged, and popped on the stocking front. I added some rhinestones just to perk it up a bit.
The lodge was stamped with espresso ink, and I used a white gel pen to add the snow to the roof. Trimmed down some Christmas tree photos for the inside pages. Seems like I have a ton of photos that I've taken with just the Christmas tree over the years. I thought a fun way to showcase them was to punch parts of the tree with the scallop square punch and use them randomly throughout the book.
Thanks for stopping by. Next up on the Hop is Robin Messenheimer you can see her blog HERE
