We Are All Made of Stories – Day 5
Welcome to the fifth and final day of our collaboration with Neat and Tangled. We have enjoyed combining forces this week to share inspiration from our October kit, Mix Tape, which features this fantastic Neat and Tangled exclusive stamp:
Wrapping up projects from the Scrapbook Circle creative team is Jamie, with this amazing layout:
Jamie used the sentiment stamp to create her own patterned paper background! Stamped repeatedly with resist ink, the words appeared when Jamie added color. What a perfect technique for a stamp like this!
What do you think? Will you give this technique a try? Leave a comment below and you will be entered in a random drawing to win a $30.00 gift certificate to Neat and Tangled. Hop on over to the Neat and Tangled blog to see what their fantastic design team is doing with the kit and stamps, and enter to win a $30.00 gift certificate to Scrapbook Circle. You can also visit Jamie’s blog, here.
You have through Saturday, October 10th to comment on all of the “We Are All Made of Stories” posts this week, so be sure to check out any that you missed. Our winner will be posted on the Scrapbook Circle on Sunday, October 11th.
Thanks to Neat and Tangled for a fabulous stamp set and all the fun this week! We have loved creating with you! Have a wonderful day!
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.
I’ve tried to make my own paper but it hasn’t been a success.
I need to play with it more – to get it lined up correctly.
Love the page. It’s beautiful.
thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful technique! It’s amazing this way to use the sentiment stamps! I like it so much!
Beautiful, crisp layout!

What a neat idea! I love the background you created with this stamp.
Beautiful project! I love these pretty pink colors and the layered look!
Take Care!

Love Jamie’s use of emboss resist to create a background. So effective!
Well that turned out fabulous! I keep forgetting to use resist ink… MUST try it more often!
What a great looking
background page! The
layout is stunning.

Jamie can I just say your layout is beautiful. I love love that you created you own background using the stamp and that the photos is your focal point. I like that you lined them up in the center of your page. Beautiful Job!!

Great background! Love the repeatedly stamped sentiment!
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS layout Jamie!!!
LOVE how you have used this great sentiment to CREATE your own patterned paper, it looks lovely, especially against the bold stripes and pretty design with your journaling panel on vellum in the middle!!!
THANK YOU for sharing 🙂
While all of the inspiration has been wonderful this week, I think this is my favorite layout! Oh, I love the way you made the background!!! And the way you layered the vellum on top. It is beautifully done.
Such an amazing layout! Love love love how she created that background layout with the stamp!
I love the layout – the stamped background is fantastic! I’d love to try that technique but first I have to find out what resist ink is….
Great layout design. Love the focus on the story and photos.
