A New York Bucket List Scrapbook Page from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters! Hooray for Friday. I have a busy day ahead continuing work on the big crafty destash and reshuffle. Cannot wait to get my new space all tidy and finished. You'll know where to find me for the rest of the day.

I have also been busy writing out my LOOOONG shopping list for the new catalogue launch on Wednesday. If you'd like a copy of the new Stampin' Up! catalogue please let me know and I'll pop one in the post to you. Alternatively, I'd love to place an order for you and get new goodies sent direct to your door. Just drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk with any questions.

I have a Mint Macaron scrapbook page to share with you today. This was another creation I made for the Telford Stampers Showcase using a sneak peek product called Painter's Palette. This is a very creative little stamp set with brush strokes and an easel. I used the brush stamps to create the background of my Mint Macaron cardstock.

For the rest of the scrapbook page I used the Memories in the Making bundle of products including the Project Life cards and accessories. I love how the accessory packs include alphabet stickers for creating titles for your Project Life pages or traditional 12"x12" pages.

 I used one of the watercolor die cuts to create my camera embellishment. I used Mint Macaron ink and an aqua painter to give the water washed effect over the camera. I then mounted the embellishment with dimensionals (adding an extra layer to the circle centre to make it stand away from the main body of the camera).

I loved creating this little banner at the top of my page with the embellishment kit.

A Memories in the Making Valentines from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning and a very happy Wednesday to you.

I've been having fun with Stampin' Up! Project Life cards to make today's card. I wanted to experiment with the different designs to see what kind of card I could come up with.

The colour theme for this card is Watermelon Wonder so I picked cards from the Memories in the Making cards pack and then used embellishments from the Accessory Pack to finish the card.

I love the layered designs of the Project Life cards which goes to show that the cards can be used for a lot more than scrapbooking. I love the simplicity of layering all the little bits and bobs from the Accessory Pack. The packs contain alphabet stickers, shapes, wooden die cuts, washi tape and embellishments. Fun to add to cards or scrapbooking projects. 

If you love these Project Life cards they are only available while stocks last until May 30th. Once they are gone they are gone. They are retiring at the end of this catalogue. There are lots of new lovely goodies coming on June 1st. If you'd like a copy of the new catalogue just drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk and I'll get one in the post to you.

A Memories in the Making Mini Album from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Friday Crafters.

How has your week been? I've been super busy prepping for my card class tomorrow. I have some lovely makes to share with my ladies. I also had some lovely news yesterday. I entered a card in to a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator competition and I placed as a runner up which means I have been invited to a party at the UK Head Office to celebrate the Cards for Keeps charity campaign. I am so excited to get to have a look around SU HQ here in the UK.

I have a project to share today that I made as one of my display projects for Telford last weekend. I found an old mini album I had made in the early days of my scrapbooking. I realised it would be perfect to redesign and add pics too. I re-covered the front and back covers with In Color 2015-2018 Designer Series Paper in Watermelon Wonder. I used the Memories in the Making Project Life Bundle to decorate each page and to create the front cover (I used mainly the Embellishment Pack).

I went through my HUGE box of pictures ready for scrapbooking and found a set of pictures I took from a camping trip I took with Sam in 2011 before Summer & Sylvie came along. Mum and Dad went on a 6 week road trip so we looked after Kala for the duration. We had a blast camping on the Jurassic Coast for a long weekend and I loved reliving the memories making this little mini album.

The inside of this mini album was created from one sheet of 12"x12" Basic Black cardstock. I did a quick google search to find a video that would show you how to create this and found this  tutorial. I do love an economical project that uses only one complete sheet as the base album.

 I added squares of DSP to each page and then cut my photos to fit. On the opposite flipped page I added the small square Project Life cards from the Accessories Pack along with embellishments and journalling.

A bits and bobs box for my Hostess Club from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

I was indulging in one of my favourite pastimes over the  weekend- stationery shopping, when I came across these tiny little Really Useful Boxes. What crafter doesn't love a little crafty storage for embellishments and all those little 'bits and bobs'? Which gave me the inspiration for this months Hostess Club gift.

I bought a selection of coloured boxes and knew that the brightly coloured Project Life cards and accessory packs would be perfect for creating these little toppers.

I chose a selection of colourful patterned Project Life cards and cut them to 2"x1.5" to fit the flat lid area. I then used my Alphabet Rotary Stamp to create the 'Bits and Bobs' which I then punched and attached with Dimensionals.

I used the various Project Life Accessory Packs I have accumulated to create the little banners and embellishments and finished with Brights Candy Dots. 

This is such a perfect way to create a little storage for your craft desk as well as use up all those bits of embellishments in your Project Life stash.

I filled each little box with various crafty embellishments I had in my craft room. Mostly retired Stampin' Up! embellishments. But I did sneak a few jewels and pretties from my stash too. I love making these little packages for my Hostess Club ladies. And I know I would love to receive a little package of sparkly goodies like this. So I hope they all like their gift for the month.

A quick Stampin' Up! and Project Life December catch up with Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters.

I thought I would share a quick catch up on my Journal Your Christmas/December Album. I haven't quite managed to keep up to date with doing it every day. But I do have a catch up session planned over the weekend. And I have most of my pictures printed and ready to go.

So here is what I've done so far:

Children's medicines are sadly a daily part of life in this cold weather with both my girls being poorly so it was worthwhile capturing it. And I enjoyed creating the little shaker element to add to my page with my Shaker Frames and Star Framelits.

 I wanted to use the Cheerful Christmas stamp set to create my date feature on this page so I chose my Project Life cards (from the Hello December pack) in yellow and red and then coloured my stamp with the coordinating Daffodil Delight and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers.

I had a play with printing different sized photos for our trip to the Winchester Christmas marker. I really like the effect and with my Canon Selfy printer I can print multiple mini prints straight from my memory card. Project Life really is such a quick and easy way to capture memories. I am finding the process a lot easier this year now I have invested in one core kit and a printer I can use at home (rather than dragging to the instant printers at Boots everyday).

Here is one of my favourite pages- our Basingstoke Stampin' Up! group photo! What a lot of ladies there were that evening. Lots of faces old and new ;0) I used a swap I received as part of my page today. I loved that someone had thought to create a beautiful Project Life card as their swap! What a great idea. 

 And my final couple of pages for today use other Project Life cards I had in my stash. I used my Seasonal Snapshot cards and accessories for these couple of pages. They fitted my colours perfectly. I also added some embellishments from my (large) Christmas stash.

Thank you for popping by today. I hope you have lots of festive plans for the weekend. I will be welcoming my lovely ladies for the last of the years Card Classes. I am super excited to see them all. I just have to get myself organised to finish my prep this afternoon.

December Journal Project Life & Stampin' Up Style from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Thank you for joining me today. Be prepared for a lot of pictures today. I may have gotten a bit over excited about my December scrapbook. For those followers who have been with me over the past 5 years of crafting you will know the highlight of my crafty year is my Christmas Journal.

I look forward to creating my journal all year round. This year I have chosen to simplify my craftiness and work only with my Stampin' Up! Project Life album and Hello December kit. I sometimes get a little overwhelmed with my lovely Christmas stash. So limiting my materials to the cards and accessories kit is making my journalling a simple and quick daily activity.

Here is my front cover. This was CASed from a lovely fellow Demo Samantha. I saw her beautiful front cover using the Hello December Accessory Kit and wanted to give it my own silver and blue spin. It really got my creative juices flowing as I found the layering really inspiring. I inked the wooden Joy with my Encore Silver ink pad and used this as the focus of the cover. I then cut shapes using the Apothecary Accents Framelits from Vellum and the All is Calm Designer Series Paper and layered over silver embossing (the stamps are from the Project Life December Wonder stamp set).

 

Here is my covering page entitled 'Celebrate the Season'. I wanted to use the picture of my girls with their festive outfits as the focus of the page.

And here is my first official day of scrapping. I look a bit merry in this pic. We were having a December 1st Christmas party at my sisters. I promise it was just tea I was drinking *lol*

Previous years I have used Shimelle's JYC prompts as my day to day themes. But this year I decided to use the photo prompts below as my daily focus. I took this pic as my Day 1 'View'. All the Christmas-y things on my sisters party table.

If you are looking for Christmas inspiration. This list is a perfect daily prompt for those days you are stuck:
