Sue's Scraps and Snippets

After a long hiatus from any real scrapbooking, I am back with another LO. This is for Samantha's SPCC #31. If you haven't checked out her delightful Color Combo blog, you really should! Each week she has a wonderful new color combo and a great prize. This week's combo is pretty tough - Real Red, Apricot Appeal, and Pretty in Pink. I have to admit that I rarely use these colors. They made me think of Valentine's Day. And this year I have a new little love. Adelyn is my 6-month-old granddaughter. For this LO, I used SU Real Red, SU Apricot Appeal, and some Daisy D's checked pink paper. For trim, I used red rick rack. The "love" words were cut using a Sizzix die. The stamps are from Carolee's Creations (Beautiful) and TAC (Sprigs).

Samantha and her SPCC challenge are up and running for 2010! Be sure to check out her blog. Each week she posts a color combo challenge. Some are pretty easy, while some are really tough. This week's colors are Brilliant Blue, Melon Mambo, Rose Red, and Lavender Lace (the ones with four are a little tougher)! These colors are gorgeous (and make me think of coooold winter, but everything right now makes me think of coooold winter). I am supposed to do LOs, but got in a bit of a time crunch with final exams and Christmas. So I put together this little notebook. For the pages, I used 5x8 notecards cut in half (yay for the Zutter DreamKuts). The cover is chipboard. And I bound it with the Zutter Bind-It-All - definitely a must-have! I also used the SU Scalloped Border punch when decorating the cover.
