Baby Steps... chipboard

Finally, after only a few days without my computer, I'm up and running again.  Thanks to my sweet hubby who has reloaded almost all my programs.  I'm so lucky to have him!  If you haven't heard from me and were expecting to, try emailing again and I'll respond asap.  I've lost all my email connections and am entering your addresses one by one if I have them.  (tap..tap...tap this could take me a bit of time ) 

Now, on to my Baby Steps.  As a follow up to my A.B.C.s of Chipboard I'm posting todays scrap page.  The letter B (chipboard) is simply sponged in Whisper White craft ink, air dried, then embellished with some trio flower punched flowers. 

The rest of the title is stamped in classic ink (markers) on vellum, using the "Defining Alphabet", then embossed with clear embossing powder and white embossing powder.  Did you know you could emboss any of our classic ink colours in clear ep on velum?  I think adding the white ep makes the colours softer but not pastel and that's the look I was going for.  Oh yes, I used my two way glue pen to outline the edge of my vellum and adhere white ep which I then heated.  I found this worked fine but if you look closely you'll notice some bubbling. (I like this eratic edging on the vellum.)

The dets -  Cardstock Ruby Red, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery designer paper.  Ink: Ruby Red, Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, markers,  Punches etc: 1 1/4 inch punched ruby red circles under the header, three certainly celery buttons, and the Sale-A-Bration celery ribbon threaded through 1/4" holes (crop-0-dile) in the ruby red cardstock.  Enjoy Every Moment stamp set (page 65) was inked in bashful blue and coloured with a ruby red marker for the journal circle which I cut out with my Circle Scissors Plus. 

Too funny!  I designed this page with my grandson in mind...and now can't find the photos of his first tentative steps.  Oh, well... it may have to be used by the next baby who joins our family.  If I get hold of those photos I'll be sure to post my final version. 

Want to scrap and don't know where to start? 

Join my Scrap Club and get the guidance and support you need to get going.  NOT a beginner?  My club members range from experienced to new to this hobby and we all benefit from each other's experience.  Not only will you have a great time with some ladies who all are scrapping their life journey but you'll go home every month with finished pages in your hands.  We meet on the fourth Sunday of each month and take a turn at hosting the group with a small treat.  In turn each member earns free product from our catalogue one month of the year as well as getting a free stamp set.  Each month there is no cost to you for the scrap lessons or layout but you commit to purchase from $30.00 - $35.00 worth of supplies for your scrapbooking from our catalogue.  In this way you gradually build your personal supplies over the year as you grow your skills and have a fun time.   Email me Linda@StampersPad.com if you have questions or want me to hold a spot for you.  Don't be shy... you know you want to.

Hope my page inspires you to get scrapping your precious memories before they're wiped off your hard drive ... or your personal "silver screen".

I LOOOVE when you scrapbook, Linda! Your pages are always beautiful and always have some special elements to them. I'm a fan! :D

And I admire you for holding a scrapbooking Club. It personally scares me a little... (I know - ironic, considering I scrapbook myself!)

Wow - what a nice baby page. I love how you incorporated the chipboard onto the title on the vellum. The colors look great too.
