Pocket Page Camping Scrapbook Layouts!

Karla here today! Well, September is here and we've headed back to school! It's all very exciting - my daughter, Amie is in Grade 4 and loving it! I am still not quite ready to let the summer go yet though, so I've been working on scrapping some of those fun camping photos from my stash.

I used lots of adorable images from the May and June digital stamp releases from Pretty Cute Stamps, along with Simple Stories Summer Vibes papers and journaling cards and some fun sequins - slipped them in some pocket pages and now they're ready to place in my album!

Whenever I get new digital stamp images I open them in a word processing program and make a printable sheet that I have all ready to print onto white cardstock as many times as I need. Whenever I have a few extra minutes I grab my alcohol based markers and colour them up and cut them out. Now they're ready to use directly on my photos or journaling cards, similar to a sticker! I added this cute beaver from the Beavers Digital Stamp set right on the Simple Stories card and added a fun sequin for shine!

I sponged on a bit of Distress Ink around the edges of my sentiments from the Summer Fun and Summer Memories sets before adding them to my pages, and below I layered on this adorable lantern from the Shine Bright Digital Stamp set and a few more sequins before hand writing my journaling. I hand cut some of the images from the Simple Stories collection to layer in my pocket elements as well.

For my second page I had some fun food and s'mores pics - and couldn't wait to use these adorable images from the S'mores and S'mores Sentiments Digital Stamp sets!

Of course, you have to have a campfire to roast your marshmallows, and this cute little fire from the Light My Fire set was just the right thing!

I actually printed my sentiments from Happy Camper Sentiments and S'mores Sentiments directly on the woodgrain journaling cards by printing them first on white paper and then taping them down in place over the area I had already printed on so I could line them up how I wanted them. These cute little hearts from the Beavers set added another sweet embellishment. I love how cute the S'mores look inside this coordinating Simple Stories frame!

June 2016 Sneak Peek Day 3

Happy Humpday, everyone! It's time for the final day of the Pretty Cute Stamps June 2016 Digital Stamp Release Sneak Peeks! Yay!!! Then, come back tomorrow, because I'll show you all of the new digi stamps, and we'll have the June 2016 Digital Stamp Release Blog Hop. So, let's get to the last of this month's sneak peeks.

Today, the PCS DT is showcasing some summer and patriotic themed stamps. Be sure to stop by these wonderful crafters' blogs to find out all of the details about their projects.

First, I decided to create some 3x4" and 4x6" pocket scrapbooking cards using some of the sentiments from two new digital stamp sets: Summer Fun and Summer Memories. I used the Photoshop brush files to digitally "stamp" on some Cosmo Cricket Salt Air digital papers to create the cards. The really cool thing about these is that I saved them digitally, so I can insert them as a photo into my Project Life App to use on layouts in there. How cool is that!?!?!  I'm super excited about these, and I'm hoping to create a little tutorial to show you how to do this sometime soon.

Now, onto the patriotic cards. Carolyn LaBille from Free Spirits Studio created this pretty card using the new Lady Liberty Digital Stamp Set. I love the way she chose to color the Statue of Liberty...so cute!

Tasha Jorgensen from Crafty Pink Pixie created this fun card using the new Uncle Sam Digital Stamp Set. Isn't that background so pretty? Love it!

And, last but not least, Amber Rasmussen from Sew-Ink created this cool card using the release freebie: Land of the Free. I love the way she used those stars!

And, because you decided to check out our sneak peeks this week, I have this Land of the Free Digital Stamp for you that is FREE today through tomorrow. Woo HOO! It would be perfect for your patriotic projects. You can download this little set HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for the July 2016 Digital Stamp Release Blog Hop. We'll have more inspiration for you, and I'll show you all of the new sets. YAY!!! See you then!
