It’s time for another blog hop from the ESAD (Extremely Special Aussie Demonstrators) group, this time to celebrate the start of Sale-a-bration. And this time we have even more blogs taking part, which means more ideas and more inspiration for you. So I hope you have fun on your way around.
My project today is a Scrapbook page using the Vintage Labels Stamp Set. I wanted to do a page in a “vintage” style, and have used a masking technique to create a border with the stamp. I will be adding a small journalling block underneath the photo, but I like to keep my journalling a little private, so you don’t get to see that bit! 
Stamp Sets: Vintage Labels (Only available during Sale-a-bration), Baroque Motifs.
Cardstock: Basic Black, Naturals Ivory, Belle Bleu Designer Series Paper.
Inks: Basic Black Classic Ink and Marker
Accessories: Wide Oval Punch, Sponge Dauber, Black Brads from Vintage Brads.
Artwork copyright Chris Parker-Barnes
Images copyright 1990-2010
That’s it for me for now. Next stop on your way is Christie Wallace from Christie’s Creative Corner. And if you would like to be in the running for some blog candy, make sure you leave a comment for us all.
And if you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator from Australia or New Zealand and you would like to be part of this terrific group, just click on the ESAD link above and it will take you to our home page.
Enjoy the journey!
Beatiful. Rach:)
