Bo Bunny Surprise! Interactive Layout Class 6/28!!

Hi Everyone! Sherri here and I would LOVE for you to join me at my next class on Friday, June 28th at 6:30pm at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo!
You will be making a 1 page INTERACTIVE Layout using the Very Colorful BoBunny "SURPRISE!" paper line and co-coordinating accessories!

Here is a SNEAK PEEK! - The sample is in the store!

This page was inspired by Scrap-a-Doodle Doo's June Sketch Challenge, and I decided to "kick it up a few notches" by adding a large "secret pocket" where you can add 3 Large Tags - for journaling or additional photos photos (up to 6 more!) It will be PERFECT for your special Birthday Photos -either from the past, or for celebrations yet to come! You will LOVE this technique and will use it again and again for those special photos of your precious memories -whatever the subject! Photo sizes: (3) 3"x4" (up to 6) 4 x 6".

Students need to bring the following supplies: Basic Tool Kit - including 12x12 Trimmer, Liquid Adhesive, Small Sharp Scissors, 3D Foam Dots, *FOAM TAPE - Available at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo. Your Teacher will have one of each of the following items for students to share, but you are welcome to work at your own pace by bring your own, or purchase from Scrap-a-Doodle Doo - Ranger Distress STAIN - Peacock Feathers and Ripe Persimmon.

Bo Bunny SURPRISE! 1st Birthday Layout

Hello Doodle Doo'ers! Sherri here with a little scrappy inspiration for you this week!

As some of you know, I started scrapping late in my son's lives, so now that my youngest son Jake is 18, I guess it is about time I scrap the few photos that I can find from his FIRST BIRTHDAY!

I bought these great New Bo Bunny SURPRISE papers on my last visit to Scrap-a-Doodle Doo. If you are a new follower, or this is your first visit to this blog, "THE DOO" as we call it, is a Local Scrapbook Store, located in Ramsey, NJ. If you don't live in the area, they are on line too!

I then had to figure out how to use the 5 old and pretty dark photos that I could find from Jake's Birthday, and get them on this layout!

I really think the BRIGHT and cheery colors helped! I used the fronts and backs of the following papers from this adorable line - CAKE PAPER, YOU'RE INVITED, and POP PAPER, along with coordinating Bazzill Cardstock, and the adorable ELMO Die Cut, purchased and available at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo too!

I am very pleased with how the layout came out - and think that the colors really brighten up the dark/nighttime backgrounds of the photos. I decided to crop out a lot from the photos too - as there were the backs of people's heads in most of them, along with some old neighbors who have since moved and I've forgotten their names, plus too much other "stuff" that distracted from my "BIRTHDAY BOY." I cropped them to just show Jake and I, and his cute Elmo cake. This way I was able to fit them all on one page, and highlight his sweet little face! The "I'm a Star" ribbon, Big Green #1, Elmo Die Cut, Birthday Cake and candles, and the Present were all added to the layout with Helmar 3D Foam Dots.

All edges were inked with Ranger Distress Stain in Festive Berries.

I hope this layout gives you ideas and inspiration of how to use multiple patterned papers together with paper elements/embellishments cut from them, that can be pop-dotted to your layout to added dimension and added interest!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday MAMA DOODLE!

Hi everyone - Sherri Caramico here - and I wanted to tell you about a great weekend,

where a group of us celebrated

a VERY SPECIAL LADY's BIRTHDAY!

For those of you who have had the pleasure of shopping at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo's Scrapbook Store, I am sure you have been helped by

Norma ~ aka "Mama Doodle!" (Norma is Stephanie's Mom - and has been lovingly given the nickname "Mama Doodle." )

She is always very helpful, and full of GREAT suggestions when you are looking for just the right paper, or element for your project. She is a great friend, and like a second mother to many of us, as she is always kind, caring and willing to listen and help in anyway. A hug from Mama Doodle is a great way to enter and exit the store too!

Today is her BIRTHDAY and I want to WISH her a VERY HAPPY DAY - as well as a year ahead filled with JOY, LAUGHTER and HAPPINESS too!!

A group of us had a VERY SPECIAL SCRAPPY CELEBRATION with her over the weekend and we all had lots of FUN !

Here are a few photos from the event:

This is the crop room. It was filled with friends, laughter, lots of good food (especially yogurt! LOL!) and of course HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES TOO!

There was even an chance for photo ops - to commemorate the event. This was so much FUN!!

We all had a delicious dinner together on Saturday night - with yummy shrimp cocktail too!

And, no birthday would be complete with out a Birthday Cake - and we had 4 or 5 of them throughout the weekend! :-)

Stephanie and Mama Doodle :-)


WISHING YOU THE HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY EVER MAMA DOODLE!!

THANKS for letting us celebrate YOU and your

SPECIAL DAY together!

CKC SNEAK PEEKS!!! Shhhh......

Hi there SCRAPPY PEOPLE!!

It is SNEAK PEEK TIME ~ but this time it is a little different !!

I am going to share 2 Projects with you that I've designed

for Scrap-a-Doodle Doo

that were made EXCLUSIVELY for the upcoming CKC ( Creating Keepsakes Convention) in LANCASTER, PA!!!

Are you going? The dates are JULY 27th - JULY 29th

- JUST 2 WEEKS AWAY!!!

THE DOO asked me to come up with some FUN, DIFFERENT

and "OUT OF THE BOX" Project Kits to offer at CKC,

and that is exactly what I tried to "DOO!"

I'll share 2 of them with you here!

If you are going to CKC - be sure to head over to SCRAP-A-DOODLE DOO's BOOTH and pick one up before they are ALL GONE!! ALL of the CKC Kits are SPECIAL EDITIONS and there are LIMITED QUANTITIES, so if you want one be sure to get there early and grab one!! Wait until you see all the goodies they have in store for you this year!

First up is a "Recipe Stand" from KAISERCRAFT. While you can put a recipe on here to follow while you are cooking, you can also use this to DISPLAY you latest and greatest 12 x12 Layout, or even use it to hold open an Idea Book or Scrapbook Magazine for inspiration while working on a new project!

I love the BoBunny Weekend Market collection, and I thought it was PERFECT for this project - the stand looks great even on it's own without anything displayed on it - don't you think?? I've even added some BLING from ZVA and some vintage ribbon - it all comes in your kit, with complete instructions and color photos!

Below is the photo of the back - it is finished too - so it will display nicely in your home.

It would make a nice gift too - KIT COST is $40.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Next is a BIRTHDAY EXPLOSION BOX !!

Look at those "cool" paper candles (or would they be "hot?" LOL!)
And I really like how the paper "ribbon" came out too!

I created this box to be a mini album - as well as a gift card holder! 2 presents in one!! There are LOTS of places to put photos of the special day too! This KIT's COST is just $19.99 - and you can use the instructions to create it again and again - for all kinds of occasions!

I used paper from Imaginisce's "HELLO CUPCAKE" paper collection. I LOVE all the colors!!

This kit will also include full color photos of the "fronts" and "backs" of each "page" along with cutting / scoring instructions, paper piecing template (for the hat) buttons and this COOL YELLOW May Art's WEB WEAVE RIBBON -

This stuff is my latest scrap "addiction!" ~ have you seen all the beautiful colors this stuff comes in?? - HOTNESS!!

So - like I said before, these are just 2 of the SPECIAL CKC Kits that Scrap-a-Doodle Doo will have available for sale at the event. Be sure to check all the goodies they are getting ready for you while you are there!

If you can not make it to CKC - then email THE DOO at customerservice@scrap-a-doodledoo.com if you would like to purchase these kits!

Thanks for stopping by ~ Happy Scrappin' !

((Hugs)) ~ Sherri

Honey Pop..

Hi Everyone,

This is Anna from Stampanna Designs. Hope you all are having a great week so far. :) Nothing Like Jersey weather right? I miss the warm weather we had last week. lol

This card I am showing you today is a simple little card. I used the cute little Elephant from the Elephant Birthday Stamp set from Inky Antics Honey Pop collection. You can find this set by CLICKING HERE.

I first stamped my image with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored it in with my copic markers. I new that I wanted to add the Honey Pop to the front of the card instead of the inside, so I waited until I had my whole card put together and then added the honey comb balloon to the card.

This card is definitly something that won't fit in a regular envelope. It would be best to just give it to the recipient.I really do love this set. This is really great for a childs birthday. I then Stamped my "Happy Birthday" to the right blank portion of the card.

The pattern paper is from My Minds Eye and is mounted on white card stock base. I used Black card stock to separate the image piece and the pattern piece. I feel that it makes the colors pop a little bit.
