The Progressive scrapbook or Stepping it up!..... Being inspired by other scrapbookers, I had to try my hand at this. I did borrow many ideas from many different sources, but I think overall this is my own all together. I don't do much scrapbooking now, although I used to do (CM scrapbooking when I first started doing my daughter's book- I wasn't a consultant- just a fanatic). Most of what I do are events now, and trying to make some semblance of a scrapbook to leave for my daughter when she's older.
The idea of this Progressive scrapbook is to show scrapbookers and non scrapbookers to use the layouts to not stop from developing what we as demonstrators show you in 1 size, but to apply the sizes to your format of what you use in your own scrapbooking. For instance, if you are a 6x6 scrapbooker, you can use the simple scrapbook layout below in Step 1. If you use 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbooks, you look at Step 2...and then of course, if you do 12 x12 scrapbooks, then use Step 3!
STEP 1: 6x6 Scrapbook page.
This is a simple layout using the Decorative papers and layering for a simple 6x6 scrapbook page!
The butterfly close up has the Swiss Dotted texture. I ran it through the texture die first, and then cut out using the Butterfly Sizzix Die. I tied a teeny strip of paper for the antennae because the ribbons were too wide. The wings fold up for dimension!
STEP 2: 8 1/2 x 11" Scrapbook page.
I added the decorative paper strips at the base and then the layered flowers and the scrolls from the Swirls Sizzix Die.
Daisy 2 Sizzix Die Cutting multiple from Riding Hood Red cardstock, and then layering it over the Medium Scallop Circle which was textured with the Swiss dots. The Rhinestone brad (pink) was added to the center.
STEP 3: 12 x 12 Page
adding the 12 x 12 sheet in Riding Hood red, I also added the strip of Red Polka Dotted paper, and then trimmed the edges in the Kiwi Kiss and the Pink Pirouette Designer papers. They were both punched using the Eyelet Border Punch. The small mat was also punched all the way around.
The brads were added before applying to the Chocolate Chip cardstock.
No stamping added as of yet, but it is ready for a title...hmm..what to use this page for....!!!
SO, Get going..and Step it up!
