I was recently invited to join the New at SU! monthly blog hop and it sounded like such fun I jumped right in! This hop has a different theme each month to showcase new Stampin' up! products. Demonstrators from around the world participate and show off their awesomely creative projects to get you inspired for your own crafting. This month the theme is Making Memories Last so I've done a scrapbook layout for my project.
I'm using some upcoming products that will be released on May 6th so this is fun sneak peek! The Impressions Abloom bundle and coordinating Floral Impressions DSP will be available as an Online Exclusive!
I'm a baby scrapbooker, as in all I've created before this is one scrapbooking workshop kit, so this first New at SU blog hop is really a true challenge for me! But I kept telling myself it was just a giant card lol! I designed the 2 page layout using colors from the Floral Impressions DSP and using what little 12x12 cardstock I had on hand. Luckily I had some Two-Toned Pool Party cardstock that helped with the background.
The Impressions Abloom bundle is so pretty and I love the detail die that cuts the slits in the flower petals; it really adds a lot of texture. But it's so nice that it is a separate die so you can choose when to use it!
I always end up with tons of photos during spring when so many things in my yard and nearby park are blooming I wanted to give myself plenty of options for showing them off so these squares will all fit 3x3 photos.
And here is a close up of some of the flowers. I stamped the Fresh Freesia one and the Pool Party Flower is accented with a bit of Misty Moonlight ink dabbed on with a sponge dauber.
This was such a fun project to tackle and I think I've gained a bit of confidence for designing my own pages but there was still a fair amount of dillydallying!
I hope you hop through all the other projects and get inspired. Be sure to leave comments to say hi!

You ROCKED your first blog hop, Amanda, and gave the best advice for card makers who want to transition to scrapbooking: Just think of it as a big card layout! Beware: This may be the beginning of a new era in your memory keeping.
ReplyDeleteI love your 2 page display! So bright and cheerful. Thanks for sharing this!💕

ReplyDeleteWow! I can't believe that this is your first scrapbook layout! You did such a great job. I love the colours!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Amanda to our team. I just love your giant card! 😀 I too think of scrapbooking like that as I'm primarily a cardmaker too. I just love your colour palette and layout. x
