We Are All Made of Stories – Day 2
It’s day two of our collaboration with Neat and Tangled, featuring this stamp set from the October kit, Mix Tape:
Neat and Tangled did a fantastic job designing a stamp set that not only coordinates perfectly with the Mix Tape kit, but also captures what we love to do here at Scrapbook Circle – help you tell your stories! If inspiration is the kind of help you could use today, we’ve got an entire week lined up on both the Neat and Tangled and the Scrapbook Circle blogs. Tell us what you think in the comments and you could win a $30.00 gift certificate! Creative team member Jennifer is up today with a layout bibliophiles everywhere will love:
To give her row of stamped books some color, Jennifer stamped the image onto one of the patterned papers in the Mix Tape kit. She trimmed out parts of the image and adhered those pieces to her stamped border.
What a great technique! Have you tried something like this before? Think you might give it a go? Let us know by leaving a comment below and you could be chosen as the random winner of a $30.00 gift certificate to Neat and Tangled! Comments on this post and every other We Are All Made of Stories post this week will be accepted through Saturday, October 10th. Our winner will be announced on Sunday, October 11th.
Be sure to visit Neat and Tangled to see what magic they are making with the Mix Tape kit. You can visit Jennifer at her blog here. Have a wonderful day! We’ll see you tomorrow for more!
About Tessa Buys - Blog Coordinator
I am a happy mother to three energetic, wonderful boys and wife to an amazing, supportive husband. I began scrapbooking in high school and became seriously addicted when we started our little family. Besides recording precious family stories, scrapbooking is a creative outlet that never ceases to energize and inspire me. When I am not scrapbooking or creating for my Etsy shop, Precocious Paper, I am choreographing and teaching as a professional dancer and actively serving in my church.
it’s a fantastic technique and looks so awesome, I love your project of today!
I haven’t ever tried this technique, but after I’ve read this post I will! Beautiful project!
I have never tried something like this before. But I just might try something like this because I like keeping track of all the books I’ve read and that’s a lot!
I love what you’ve created with this adorable stamp!
Love how there’s not a piece of paper wasted. the books are stamped upside down to use the tiny piece in the corner.
The row of books is really pretty.
I read all the time and do keep a list of the books I’ve read so I can check back when new book in a series is published. I do it on the computer but this would be a pretty way to keep the list if I did it on paper.
thanks for sharing.
Great looking project.
I keep list of my books
but not to this scale!
Would be fun to do though.

Take care!

What a great idea for a layout…need to try this technique.
I love this creative layout list of books!!!
I need to do this!!!
I’m always thinking, “Oh, I want to read that,” but then forget about it.
Thanks for the rest idea 🙂
Those books are simply fantastic!
Great idea. So organized.
FABULOUS layout!!!
LOVE the list of reads, great to see so much handwriting too … I confess, I don’t share my writing very often but always enjoy reading handwritten notes, cards, lists etc from years gone by, will try to do it more often now 🙂
LOVE the layout design and striped patterned paper too => THANK YOU for sharing!!!
That is awesome!!!
Oh, what a fabulous stamp set — I love it! And what a great layout, too!
Great inspiration! Looks like you did awesome things with lots of fun products!
What a fabulous use of the stamp – love the idea of including lists of books or maybe other things you want to accomplish 😉
Oh wow!!! Jennifer’s layout is amazing! Great technique for sure. Love the papers she used.
what a fab project–I wouldn’t trim all that out, I’d just color them in–but it looks lovely! And I’d use the stamped colored strips as is for a bg for a card or mat for a photo. It’s so cool with all the colors and books.
Magnificent job done, love the idea and inspiring project, love it!
What a fabulous way to record your reading! It looks fantastic!
That is SO clever! I love this. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Neat idea, but WAY too organized for me! lol!
Jennifer your bibliophiles is amazing. I would have never thought to create one into a scrapbook page. I’ve always kept them in my computer. This is a must try. Thanks for sharing this awesome idea. =)
Such a neat idea!
