Here is another progressive page that I had made to demonstrate how easily scrapbooking can be done in any size. I don't know about you but the biggest feed back that I hear from non scrappers is that they just don't know where to begin. What I personally love about Stamping Up! is that there are so many options to look at when you finally start scrapping. When I am doing a page I love to combine stamping with my scrapbooking. When making a progressive page you first start off with a 6x6,step it up to an 8 1/2x11 then a 12x12. These picture were taken of my oldest daughter back in December and now looking back on them it's amazing to see how much she has changed in the last 6 months. I think that is what I enjoy so much about scrapbooking, you have forever captured a moment in time with not just a picture but also through the paper, colours and journaling you have captured the emotions and feeling surrounding that moment.
For the 6x6 page I started off with a 6x6 square of Chocolate Chip cardstock and matted my photo on Rose Red. I randomly stamped the out line heart image in Chocolate Chip and stretched a piece of Rose Red Double Stitched Ribbon across the page, attached it with sticky strip and used a brad from the Silver Hodgepodge Hardware. The cute flowers are two from Felt Fusion and joined together with a silver brad. The sentiment which I also chose to use as my journaling was punched out which the Wide Oval. To take this layout to a 8 1/2x11, I placed my ribbon this time on an piece of Pink Piroette, used two brads attached the 6x6 page, added a small piece of Sweet Always Designer Series Paper and Pumpkin Pie cardstock with several punched out circles in varying sizes on it. This time I added the title "LOVE" cut out with a sizzix decorative strip. I then added two more photos. The last step was to take this to a 12x12. For that I used a 12x12 piece of Kraft cardstock stamping it with one of the solid hearts in Versamark ink to give a watermark effect. I changed up the positioning of my DSP and the Pumpkin Pie piece so they were a little more angled and decided to do my titling down the side of my page, this time using chipboard. Using the same ribbon I placed it vertically along my page, then made a bow and attached it to the strip of ribbon.
So for all of you non scrappers out there I hope you will try this, as there is nothing more satisfying than not only enjoying the work that you put into it, but also the response that you get when those loved one's see what you created just about them!
