So since I'm not buying any new stamp sets right now, I decided to break out some of my other ones that haven't seen any ink, yet. Brilliant Backgrounds is one of them. I always love the background stamps, but this one just hadn't been put to use, yet.
***
Here I used one of the background stamps to stamp kiss the letters in the title, and then I used it as fun corners behind some of the pictures. This is also my try at MCC #28 - I just changed the Bamboo to Outdoor Denim. On this 2-page layout I used Desert Sand textured CS, Crystal Blue textured CS, Buttercup CS, Outdoor Denim CS, Rustic Alphabet, Spot On Background stamp set, Brilliant Background stamp set, clear buttons, and sassy strands, and a PageMaps layout.
Here I used another background stamp from that set to stamp my dimensional element letters, and the bookplate. When I saw the layout on page 25 of the Summer Idea Book, it inspired me, as it added pink to this Game On paper pack, plus the title was Pink Ladies, which is exactly what Kaylee's softball team was named this year! On this page I used Game On paper pack, Calendar Stamp set, Brilliant Background stamp set, Hollyhock CS, Hollyhock ricrac ribbon, Blush dot ribbon, Monogram letters for the title (except I didn't have the letter 'I' so I had to cut my own out of scrap chipboard), black bigger and bitty brads, black photo hangers with hollyhock brads, and black spiral clip.
And this page doesn't use any stamping, but it's just another quick one that I got done yesterday. This baby has it's first scrapbook page done and it's not even born yet - hooray! I have never got around to scrapping ultrasound pics yet, but this page really got me in the mood to do the rest of the kid's 'first' pictures. For this page I used Heaven Sent Level 1 page and stickease, so it was really quick and easy.
