I'm going to grumble a bit. I finished making the Valentine cards I had to and I just get so frustrated making cards. Why doesn't anyone, company, make stickers that say one simple thing. (Fifty stickers saying nothing except "Happy Birthday" in different fonts and sizes) Or "Happy Mother's Day", "Merry Christmas", "Happy Valentines Day" and so on. I could make them on a computer, but where do you find the clear sticker paper??? (Hoping you know what I mean.)

Ok I re-started lol. Removed the pages with the plastic cover and added the aubergine pages I bought today. They had different shades and I couldn't resist. I also got some 3d stickers and some other decorative stuff. Here's some pics. Some I did with the flash so the colors are a lil off.

I thought I'd share some pictures of some of my favorite scrapbook pages. I'll just do a couple at a time...
These are pictures of black sand beaches in Hawaii. This is an 11 x 15 scrapbook; I like that size because I can put a lot of pictures on a page. I used spray adhesive to glue paper onto the cardstock insert, tearing the paper to simulate a beach and grass. Then I added palm tree border stickers, cut to follow the the edge of the beach, added glitter to give sparkle to the "black sand," added little shells, and the beach themed cutouts. The pictures are mounted on white, black, and turquoise cardstock (skewed, not lined up), with shell and seahorse shapes punched from cardstock in the corners. The title is letter stickers on circles punched from cardstock and attached to beach stickers using 3-d foam tape.

These are pictures of a pearl being found inn an oyster. The background paper is pink shells. I added coordinating cardstock in tan, cut with scalloped edge scissors to fill in the bottom of the page. On that, I added double-sided tape, and stuck microbeads on for some glitter. I cutout shell shapes with my Fiskars shape cutter, one in light pick and one in medium pink. The light one I folded on the scallop edges to make it 3-D and glued it to the medium one. I added dark and light pink and white pearl beads to the bottom. The pictures are cut in circles, and mounted on the tan paper cut in a circle, which is in turned mounted on the light pick cardstock with a fancy scalloped shell corner cutout. I put very dark pink cardstock behind the cutout, and then mounted all that on the medium pink cardtock. Then it all went on brown to make it standout from the paper. The title is done the same way ad the pictures, with the addition of beads and letter stickers.

Great pages Landi. My pages started out simple too and there is nothing wrong with that. Your pages are adorable and will bring you years of joy. Mocha...great start to your scrapbooking journey. those must be some of the cards you received. I love them. Prisoner...great pages. I loved the black beach page. (oysters are just too nasty for me to like pictures of them...but the page is great.)

Good job Mocha. I sent you some pretty purple papers (awesome aubergines)that your posts would look nice mounted on. And I sent a matching sticker pack and then some fun stickers and die cuts and a pen set and a whole stack of ideas for you to thumb through. Let me know when you get a box. How do I find Moonie's wedding photos that were posted mostly in May of '04?? I need more photos for the pages I did.

Ok I just tried to do a quick check. You go to the archives, then community corner, then first go thru jan-apr 04 archives. But they're not labelled so you'll have to scroll thru everything there.
