June's Stampers With An Attitude Blog Hop

WELCOME to our 2nd Blog Hop.

"Stamper's with an Attitude" are having a little 

Fun in the Sun  this go 'round. 

If you came from Pamela O'Conner's Blog, 

you are on the right track.

  

 My favorite time of year is summer.        

Can't wait to play in the outdoors with family & friends 

this year. Have a few things planned for our family group 

a little later in the month. 

So, I wanted to make this Flag Booklet I saw

a while back. It will be an addition to other mini albums

 I have made in the past. Plus, I am using up a lot 

of my retired CTMH papers while mixing & mingling

with Newer Stamp Sets.  I'll eventually 

make 5 of these for the family to have and take home.

(That Should help take care of  1 of the many goals I have 

in using up older papers and product in my stash.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(I have seen this Flag Booklet at the Scrapbook Showgram 

done by Sandi Genovese a few different ways.)

My Flag Book is a take-off from a Christmas one she did 

a few years ago. I could not find the link to to her video

She has another one posted that is similar 

to her Christmas one. Click HERE to watch it.

Thankfully, I had done a smaller one and wrote down 

most of the tidbits as I worked on it last year.

I have added the list of our Blog Hop at the end of this post

for your convenience in-case you get lost along the way.

Flag Booklet

This is the finished Booklet. You see I have used April's

Stamp of the Month set here on the front.

Along with the Bohemian Stamp Set.

On the inside cover, I used the June Stamp of the Month.

(I love mixing the new with the old)

I Heavily Ink Distressed my book and the flags.  
Not sure this picture details the FLAG of this booklet for you. 

You see the flags at the bottom and top crisscross with 

the flags in the center when you open it up.

The flags will have pictures and journaling added after

our family event for this summer.

There is enough room to add 18 photos without journaling

on the flags. I have enough room to journal

on the inside front and back if I choose to.

You can see more of this booklet with 
base instruction in my 

"Scrapbook Layouts" Tab 

Here, you can see that I heat embossed the sun and 

the word summer. I first inked with the Twilight Ink and 

then added gold embossing powder to the word summer.

I applied foam tape to the sun and the center

to give more dimension. The word fun was

stamped on the front base and stamped again

on an extra piece of cardstock. I proceeded to 

fussy cut the letters out and added foam tap.  Then

applied the letters so that it gave a shadow effect on top of the

original stamped word.
I have entered this booklet into the 

Heart 2 Heart~Tool Time
Paper Playtime~#12 Anything Goes
&
The Outlawz Challenge~Jazzy June Color Challenge

I hope you enjoy this Flag Booklet. 

Be sure to give a little Blog Love by 

leaving a comment for all our

They have all worked hard to bring 

you some inspiration and 

share there talents.
