Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by from Beki's blog. Here is one of my favourite summer layouts made with Banana Frog stamps
I made this page pretty soon after summer last year. However this one with photos taken just a month later, wasn't made until 2011
You can see how I made the stamped tags over on the Banana Frog Blog.
Next stop on the hop: Michelle!

I'm still celebrating my recent birthday. Mainly because I still have cupcakes left. I plan to right that sometime today though. For the Banana Frog Blog Hop this month the theme is also birthdays because May is their birthday month too! Happy Birthday Banana Frog!
I did this layout using stamps from the Build-a-Cupcake set and the It's All About Arrows set.
I used a cupcake stamp as a mask before misting the background, then I stamped the cupcake and candle images.
To make the bunting I stamped arrows then cut out just the arrow head and used the traingular bits.
Happy Birthday to me and Banana Frog! Now hop on over to Jo's blog to see what delights she has in store for you.

Welcome to this month's blog hop! It's finally Spring, and that means that Kieran and I get to go more often to our favourite park. This year he is really into blowing the dandelions.
(These are the photos I posted last week, so this would be Blog post to Scrapbook Page #4 for those keeping count.)
I used the Hiya Chick stamp set (currently on sale!) to embellish the journaling spot.
I snuck a flower onto this page, yay! I made this one from some circles cut from book pages. I fringed the layered circles and topped them with a button. It sorta looks like a dandelion right?
Next stop on the hop is Jo! Remember if you get lost you can always see the full list on the Banana Frog Blog.

At least I think this is the third time I have done this recently. I used one of the photos and some of the text from this post, but also expanded a bit in the journaling:
I am so happy that you are developing a love of books and reading. At almost two years old you will take books of your own accord, sit in a chair and "read" out loud. You even know that some books are for singing and will sing those instead! March 2nd 2011.
I like to use symbolism in my pages, so when I came across the compass embellihsment it seemed like the perfect thing to underscore the idea of a certain path, as well as "readers being leaders".
The tutorial showing how I made the stamped background is here on the Banana Frog blog. I used an entire sheet of stamps!
I really love how I can use my blog as a sort of "placeholder" for scrapbook pages I eventually want to do.

Remember Journaling Genies by Chatterbox? Clearing out my stash the other day I came across mine in a bag full of stencils and templates. After giggling to myself for a minute, I realised that I could use it in a newish way!
Check out all the details over on the Banana Frog Blog!

Welcome to the February Banana Frog Blog Hop! This month it's all about hearts so i decided to show off a number of projects made with Banana Frog stamps.
Coincidentally today is also my wedding anniversary, so lets start with two pages about that.
This uses the stamps from the Classic Wedding set - which is now on sale!
This one also uses Classic Wedding, as well as Matryoshka Dolls.
But I've also done other projects involving hearts. Like this one about cupcake love
and this one about my son's birth. The heart is from Make a Chain and the K from Pharmacy
Finally here's probably one of my all time favourite pages. I used Pharmacy Large to stamp the title.
Thanks for stopping by today! Before you leave check out the giveaway I am doing for an e-book from Ella Publishing which ends tonight.
If you started the hop at the Banana Frog blog then I am the final stop. But if not then you can continue the hop over on Michelle's blog!

I have a little tutorial up on the Banana Frog blog today showing how to make this canvas. This is the kind of thing I do when I want to get artsy craftsy. One of these days I'll figure out how to incorporate these kind of techniques onto my scrapbook pages without it ending up looking like a pre-schooler's art project! But for now canvases et al are how I scratch the technique itch.
So if this kind of thing floats your boat feel free to check it out!
