Are you a wanna be scrapbooker? This is for YOU!

Loving Scrapbooking and sharing with you

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today, I'm keen to share some Scrapbooking Inspiration with you!!  

Our Blog Hop is anything goes in our scrapbooking.  I love being part of this blog hop because it gets me scrapping every month!!  I love the deadline of actually getting my pages done!

This page is straight out of the Everyday You and Me Scrapbooking workshop.  This is one of the examples for my upcoming class at the end of the month.  

I have used one of the plans that came with this kit - it's just so easy to cut the paper with all the great measurements and ideas.  I have changed some of the embellishments to suit my photos better.

The hardest part about using one of these kits is printing off the photos ready to scrap!!  I LOVE them

Make sure you keep hopping for LOTS more great Scrapbooking Inspiration!!

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING the stunning Storybook Moments Suite - this suite is filled with gorgeous little animals, gardening, and frames.

My card had it's starting point with the frame detail on page 28 of our Mini Catalogue.  Using the catalogue helped me notice the ribbon tab at the top of the frame (which I completely didn't notice!)

I've used the same layout with the frame, however, I swapped over the image and the wording details!  

The ribbon at the top of the frame was coloured using Pool Party Stampin' Blends - it was originally a white ribbon!!  

This is a fun double gate fold card.  If you'd like to create it, click on the link below for the tutorial.

Have you ever used a sketch to get you started creating?

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today I'm hopping with an awesome bunch of talented Australian crafters who love sharing with you!!

This month, we are sharing our inspiration from the card sketches in the Mini Catalogue - these are a BRILLIANT way to get started creating!

I have flipped my inspiration sketch to accomodate my large greeting, but hopefully you can see where the inspiration has come from!  There's the flag detail underneath the main element and then the little flowers off the edge for the circle detail.

This card features the gorgeous Delightful Wishes bundle and the coordinating Floral Delight papers and Floral Vellum.

The greeting has been stamped directly onto the Floral Delight designer paper with Night of Navy ink - and this is something that I often forget to do!!  We have some fabulous designer paper that works perfectly to create great backgrounds behind our stamping.

It took me a while to work out the 2 step stamping of the flowers, however, I discovered that it really doesn't matter if the stamps line up because when they are die cut, there is some gorgeous white space too!

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of amazing inspiration just for you!

What will I CASE today? CTC#505

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING from our Sale-a-bration Brochure which only goes for another 4 weeks!!  EEEK

I was inspired by this lovely card featuring the With You in Mind stamp set - this one is really really useful!!  

I've used the same colours in the catalogue - possibly the only difference is the shape of the Basic White cardstock as  I don't have the Linked Together Dies illustrated in the catalogue.  

I've also changed up the embellishments to the Antique Pearls which I think go with everything!

I love the idea of stamping the greeting all over the background creating a patterened paper kind of look!
