Tonight I thought I'd share another layout I created for Technique Tuesday's booth at CHA. This isn't a new stamp set but rather a new layout with a stamp set that is currently available: Dad Rocks.
The stamp set was perfect for these older photos of my daughter with Daddy.
I incorporated lots of older product in this layout: Heidi Swapp journaling circles (pink & green), Echo Park Life is Good Papers (all 50% off at Two Peas, see links below), Making Memories Noteworthy Scallop Edge Paper and Jenni Bowlin Circle Die Cut (orange).
To really make the title pop I stamped each element on the die cut circle using a different color of ink. It really gave it the finished piece a more polished look. I love stamping in colorful inks.
I also stamped a border using a phrase stamp from the Dad Rocks stamp set and stamped additional phrases on the circle die cuts to use as embellishments.
For the journaling, I used the Technique Tuesday Ali Edwards Today You Stamp Set. I stamped the journaling stamps on Making Memories Ledger paper, again using an array of colorful inks and then printed my journaling using my printer before adding the piece to my page.

One of my favorite things about Ali's stamp sets is not only are they amazing for cards but how perfect they are for scrapbook layouts. And how all of her stamp sets work so well together. I love to mix and match elements from all my Ali Stamps for a one-of-a-kind design.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. The weather here in Western Kansas has been amazing the last couple of days. Spring weather. The kids all played outside most of the day. Running around the neighborhood, jumping on the trampoline and playing fetch with the dogs. However, a cold front is blowing in so I think that little hint of spring was a fluke. Darn. I am so over winter. Ready for warm days again.
More tomorrow....
Very nice job!!! Hope to see you in March:)

I really love how this turned out. You really did an awesome job of utilizing many of the stamps from this set in a fun way. I'm dying to see how you did that fun scalloped ruffle. That's with paper, right? So cute! :)

Hi Nichol... I love your pages and this is one of my favorites. I was just wondering what the measurements for the photos are?
