This is new! Scrapbooking Inspiration with CTC#503

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 new Scrapbooking Brochure.

January 2025 Scrapbooking Brochure P16-17 © Stampin' Up!

I just loooooove the Everyday You and Me kit - it works for every event!!  And I love the colours too - they tend towards the neutral which works for most of my photos which are usually in nature!!  


You know I LOVE kits, and I had to get this one.  So I have CASED one of the projects from the kit.


It almost the same as the kit which only a couple of tiny changes.  I added a Pretty Peacock mat underneath my photo.  And some Blooming Pearls.


Other than, that, all I needed to create this page was the Kit - there are gorgeous die cuts and stickers and lovely papers that are layered together for this page.


I love the little title stickers in this kit and can see lots of great projects coming up using them!


All I used for my page was the workshop kit, some extra pearls and adhesive!!  Perfect on a busy day still finishing off my craft room revamp!!  I'm now tackling all the hidden things in cupboards...sigh.

Up next is the extraordinary Rochelle

What is my Guilty Pleasure? Scrapbooking Blog Hop


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Today is Scrapbooking Global day!! Each month we share some great inspiration for you1!  

  

Our theme this month was designed by Sharon who ALWAYS does amazing scrapbooking!! 
 I have to admit though, that I found this a tricky theme!!  I couldn't really think of any guilty pleasures!!  My pleasures are entirely guilt free!!  


However, I came up with something! 
 I don't drink tea or coffee ever - totally a water girl.  BUT when it's very cold (especially camping)
 I do like a hot chocolate and we have discovered a totally delicious 
White Hot Chocolate you can get from Aldi!!  
I also love my big pink oodie - I look like a giant pink marshmallow!!!!
(side note - we camp in Queensland Australia in Winter where there's no snow, so it's probably NOT that cold but for this little cold frog, it feels cold!!)


I've used some new goodies for my page - stamping from the Elements of Text new set in our Online Exclusive offereings; die cuts from the Mixed Bundles dies in our Online Exclusive offerings, and the Timeless Plaid DSP from the Storybook Moments Suite Collection in our Mini Catalogue.  


There's a couple of mugs from the Something for Everyone Ephemera pack!


I've used Pretty in Pink, Moody Mauve and Blackberry Bliss inks and papers.  Oh, and the title comes from the Mini Alphabet dies.

I really hope YOU are inspired to try this!!  
Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AMAZING projects!!









My Guilty Pleasure scrapbooking


Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop - Sale-a-bration!



Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.



Today I'm joining the fabulous paper crafting monthly blog hop of fabulous international crafters.  Join us for a world tour of inspiration!


Today we are sharing some Sale-a-bration inspiration with you!!  I didn't realise it at the time, BUT, I've managed to incorporate 4 different Sale-a-bration items into my card!!  


My card features:  Pick a Season stamp set; Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon; Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins and the lovely Bloom Impressions designer paper.  I've used Shy Shamrock, Copper Clay and Berry Burst for my stamping.


The edge of my card was created using 2 cm strips of the designer paper.  I ripped one of them in half and flipped it to show both sides of the cute paper.  The greeting comes from the Storybook Friends stamp set - it's so cute to have a couple of Easter themed sets!


Inside is a touch more torn paper.

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AWESOME inspiration!!

New Year Scrapbooking!! Need some inspiration?


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!


I've created a very simple page this month - my craft room is totally dismantled as all our bedrooms are being repainted and recarpeted - sooooo I have limited supplies and space for creating (but that will not stop me!!!)


So, all I've used for my page is the fabulous die cut elements from the Storybook Moments designer paper combined with a bit of stamping done using Old Olive ink.  The title comes from a fun Sale-a-bration stamp set designed especially for scrappers called Documenting the Day.


Mysmaller title banner comes from a new Online Exclusive bundle - Mixed Labels.  


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