National Scrapbook Day ~ Skipping Stones Design Style ~

 

Happy National Scrapbooking Day, Skipping Stones Design style!!   We have put together a Blog Hop with some of our past and current FABULOUS designers.

If you just arrived from Julie Masse's  blog, then you are in the right place!!  Hop along and see all the fabulous Scrapbook pages  made with Skipping Stones Design stamps!!!    I promise you will like what you see!!!!

 

I tend to use clean, simple lines in my layouts, I think because I don't have many opportunities to use a feminine touch since I have all boys...

 

My first page was made using one of the images from Garden Stamp Kiss

 

...the more I use this set, the more I love it!







and Dandelion Dreams

...a really versatile set

 

The second page of my layout I used Dandelion Dreams again

and the bookplate tag was made using a very faint Pumpkin Seed Sentiment background along with a quote from the set Always Here

 I hope you can see the versatility of these great stamps for cards or for scrapbooking.

Leave a comment on each blog (some are giving away prizes) and when you have finished, go back to the beginning at Skipping Stones Design and leave a comment, telling us what you thought of the hop.  One lucky commenter will be chosen Wednesday, May 11th to win the Skipping Stones Design brand new May release stamp set!!!

Your next stop along the way is the very talented Laurel Seabrook.

Masculine Mojo 186-Eat More Cake

I volunteered to make a Birthday Card for my boss at work and decided this combination of sets from Skipping Stones Design would work well with this week's sketch from Mojo Monday:

Supplies:
Stamps: Skipping Stones Design Green Birthday, Buns-N-Crunches, Pumpkin Seed Sentiments
CS: Stampin' Up (Kraft, Choc Chip, Sage Shadow
DSP: Stampin' Up (To The Nines-retired)
Ribbon and Twine: Stampin' Up

Mojo Monday - Designed by:

My baby boy turned 20 on Friday and I used this new 'Designed by' stamp from Technique Tuesday, along with a background stamp from Pumpkin Seed Sentiments and a sentiment from Green Birthday, both from Skipping Stones Design and combined them with the Mojo Monday 185 Sketch Challenge.  Also used some Grunge Board for the arrow and a star brad and twine from Stampin' Up.

Do you think it's close enough to the sketch challenge?

Embellish Music Skipping Stones Style

Skipping Stones Design is being featured on the Embellish Color Trends Challenge and we are all so very excited to show off some of the great possibilities for our 'music themed' stamps.  I've used Heartsong for the musical score and the 'Just a note...' message, and Pumpkin Seed Sentiments for the 'Happy Birthday To You' as well as the pumpkin seed background design on the top.  Please play along with the Stamp Tramps this week for the wonderful sketch challenge from Heidi Blankenship, and be sure to tag it as SSD 67 if you link to any on line galleries.
