Headed to Camp!

Camp Scrap that is!! This is one of my all time favorite classes by May Flaum. It is 100% fun and I always learn so much from May and all the other campers. This summer there are 4 main technique sessions and you can choose to do all of them or a few of them. Head on over to May's website to learn more. It is not too late to sign up. I hope I will see you there!

Summer Camp - Scrap!

I cannot tell you how happy I am to be participating in Camp Scrap over at Big Picture Classes. I always get these huge bursts of motivation and inspiration. 4 weeks is not enough time - I wish class could last all summer. I've already completed several layouts and cards.

Sticking with the Boston theme, here is a 38th Birthday Card I whipped up today for a friend who is a huge Bruins fan. The challenge was to use something new or that you haven't used in a while. I pulled out my dusty container of watercolor pencils. The yellow highlights and black top are all watercolor.

I also threw together a Celtics card using up some Jolee Celtics stickers I had in my stash.

Camp Scrap: Stamp Play

Here's another fun project from Camp Scrap. May had a fabulous day of Stamp Play. Perfect timing too because I needed to throw together some quick anniversary cards and wasn't feeling like using the Cricut.

Here is a simple stamped card that I embellished with some ribbon, stickles and my new triangle boarder punch.

I've have this really awesome light house stamp and am always scared to use it. Play time was a good time to break through the fear. I stamped it with white ink and then decided to go one step further and heat emboss it.

Camp Scrap: Sketch Inspiration

Have you heard about May Flaum's Camp Scrap that is happening right now? If not, I highly recommend checking it out. It is a 7 week free camp filled with unlimited amounts of creative play, tutorials, sponsor discounts and giveaways. Did I mention it was free? She even partnered with the folks at Big Picture Classes to get a special classroom set up so campers have access to a message board and gallery. I cannot think of a better way to spend my summer than scrap camp!

To start off class May did a really fun tutorial on making confetti bursts. The next day she provided an inspiration sketch. I decided to combine these two things and put together a layout of a gorgeous Cape Cod wedding I attended.

I had not scrapped a layout in a while and this sketch was the perfect way to ease back in. I loved that I could go with a clean and simple look. I used papers that coordinated with the blues of the ocean. The embellies are all from the Pink Paislee Nantucket line (coincidence! I found them in my stash!).  And you can see the confetti bursts/trails using some sequin sparkles.

Can't wait to see what we will do in camp this week!
