I created this scrapbook page today using the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®.
Earlier this year my sister visited Australia from England and this photo was taken at our family lunch in Mudgee. The layout for this page I have cased from Create by Jennifier.
Using a blending brush and Petal Pink Stampin’ Pad I inked around the edges of the Basic White cardstock and splattered some watered down Lost Lagoon ink. to give the page some texture.
Title
The title I created using my Cameo Silhouette which I used to cut Pretty Peacock cardstock. The font used is called Sister Charming Script.
The other part of my title was printed on my computer.

Here I have created a scrapbook page using photos from when my sister was visiting from UK.
The Frames and Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®. You can find this product on page 29 i the 2024 -25 Annual Catalogue. ( 6 sheets of pattern paper: 1 each of 3 double-sided designs and 1 each of 3 single-sided die cut designs.
I used the Mediterranean Blooms Stamp set to add texture to the Lost Lagoon cardstock.
The use of the die cuts made creating this layout very simple to decorate.
Journalling
The journalling I created using Publisher and a word box to fit in the area I wanted to fill. I used ‘Bullet Journalling’, where I used points such as when, where and who.

This was so much fun, if you like doing something different. I created a page using Paper Piecing to compliment my photos using Stampin’ Up! ® Products
Going through all my photo’s I came across these of my 2 eldest boys all dressed up for School Mufti Day. The theme was to go dressed up as a cartoon character. Aaron wanted to go as Batman and Hayden as Top Cat. Top Cat wasn’t a cartoon that was on TV but Joe and I grew up with Top Cat and we had introduced the boys to this cartoon show. Hayden really loved the story and fun of Top Cat, Benny and Officer Dibble…so he had to be TC-Top Cat.
Over the last few days I have been playing with Paper Piecing….What is Paper piecing? Simply, Paper piecing is where you take an image and break it into sections e.g colour or Top Cat’s body and vest. Cutting out each layer in coloured cardstock or Designer Series Paper and then putting all those individual parts together to form your image.
How I created my page…
Paper Piecing
To create my paper piecing images
I down loaded images from the internet and printed them to the finished size I wanted.
Traced off each section onto tracing paper or you can cut your printed image up and use as a pattern. I used a mixture of both to get the details in the face and hands.
Using a Stylus trace each section onto cardstock, this will leave an indentation (score line) on the cardstock. Go over this lightly with a pencil.
With either scissors or craft knife cut each piece out. I like to leave a tab or extension piece. For example I extended the neck up so that I could attach the head, extend the tail to attach under the body. The feet to the neck is one piece. Where as the arms, tail and head are separate
Trace off any features you want with stylus and pencil in, these were later drawn in with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker
I like to piece mine together as a separate piece to my page, that way I can move it around to where I want it
To give a cartoon effect I went around everything with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker
Photo
Photos I just kept simple by just matting with Basic White
Layout
For my layout I created a scene.
The scene was broken up into 3 parts with strips of Black added around the edges to create a boarder.
Sky – Basic White Cardstock.
Using a mask from a Discontinued Die- Basic Boarders, I created clouds with a blending brush and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Pad. The mask I had used before and some of the previous ink transferred to the Basic White with the Balmy Blue and gave a great effect…even if not planned.
I did do Light Beam lines to the Batman Logo but they got a bit lost…opps!
Fence – Pebble Path
For the fence and then created palings by cutting strips of Pebble Path cut slightly longer
Each paling was brushed with ink, Pebble Path Stampin’ Pad to add an uneven texture.
Ground– Granny Apple Green
To add texture to the ground I die cut grass and leaves using the Fluffiest Friends Dies and Granny Apple Green and Old Olive Cardstock.
These were added around bottom of fence line and scattered around.
Journaling
I used the alphabet dies – Alphabet a la Mode to create the title ‘Mufti Day’ with just a little bit of hand written journaling.
