Scrapbooking using Beau Chateau DSP

As most of you know I've scrapbooked and taught scrapbooking for years, but moved back to my first passion cardmaking when I joined Stampin' Up!

I wanted to get my scrapping mojo back, and think maybe I haven't done such a bad job with these layouts.
They aren't quite finished, because that would take mystery out of attending my Beau Chateau Scrapbooking/Cardmaking class on Sunday 20th Nov.
                                                





I'm back :)

I can not believe it's been 4 months since I was on here last!
I can say I have been busy, crazy busy with a new business and my cardmaking classes.
1 other reason I stop blogging was because my computer will not recognise my camera, and I have to upload pics via my phone to my FB page and then save them to my computer...What a drama!

But, I am going to try and stay updated here at least weekly :) so Friday will be blogging day :)

These are just 2 of 4 scrapbook pages , that are included in my Celebrate the Boys Scrapbooking kit.

This will be one of the kits at an upcoming event :)

This card technique was shown at Stampin' Up! recent Convention...I wasn't able to go but a fellow SU demo {Nicole VanSteelandt Derendorf}posted a card similar to this on facebook over the weekend and as I was working on Scrapbook pages featuring the same paper pack, I just had to make this card up.

Embellishments anyone?

I was a power house of busy-ness for a short time yesterday, and here are the results of my labours :)
