It's been awhile since I posted a scrapbook page. This is another project I made for that scrapbook store design team call. Again, it doesn't involve stamping except the year stamp....which is a huge challenge for me since I am a stamper first! But I am happy with the way it turned out.

This picture of my family was taken last fall. The photographer Erin Teplin also took my headshot picture on my blog. She is so talented...but I am upset that she moved away :-( Anyway, I just love this family picture she took.
For the layout, I kept it simple. The polka dot paper is from My Mind's Eye. I added a thick strip of SU Cholocate Chip card stock that was punched with the Fiscars Threading Water border punch. I added some polka dot grosgrain ribbon at the top. I altered some Bazzil chip board shapes covered with more My Mind's Eye paper and distressed with ink on the edges. I added some Primas and Basic Grey buttons. The title was cut with a Cuttlebug alphabet die with Lightweight coaster. I inked up the edges of the letters and covered them with Crystal Effects so they look shiny like Epoxy stickers, but they were actually handmade.
The date circle was cut with a Nestability scalloped circle die and stamped with an number stamp set.
I really liked how it turned out. I hope you do, too!
I wanted to say a special thank you to everyone who has left me encouragement and support regarding my post about a possible move. I am so thankful and grateful for your kind words. I do know that God is with me and will lead us to the place that He wants us to be.
Thanks for stopping by!
