This scrapbook page started out as a CASE (or exact copy) of the 6 x 6 inch layout which is on Page 16 of the Spring Mini Catalogue.  I prepared this layout as one of the “Make and Takes” at Saturday’s Mini Catalogue launch, since I think it is a layout that can be used for all sorts of photos.  I then showed how it could be turned into a 12 x 12 layout, just by centering it onto the cardstock, and then adding a few finishing touches.  So here is the finished 12 x 12 page.

Stamp Sets: Sense of Time (Spring Mini Catalogue), Bella’s Border Stampin’ Around Wheel.

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip 12 x 12 Textured, Always Artichoke Textured, Confetti White, Mellow Moss, Chocolate Chip Patterns DSP.

Inks: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White Craft.

Accessories: Flower Fusion Too, Boho Blossoms Punch, Round Tab Punch, Vintage Brads.

The page all looks a bit crooked, but I assure you it is just the photo 🙂

I will be back with some more ideas on how to use the gorgeous new stamp sets and accessories from the mini catalogue very soon.

Happy stamping,

Chris
