Michelle's Scrapbook Layout of the Month.......July

Here is the scrapbook layout of the month for July.  This is the page I did for my daughter and also the page I demonstrated at my July Stampin' Technique and Scrapbook Club.  The version I did for my son has already been posted.  You should check out how different these two layouts look by having 2 different color schemes.  The Certainly Celery card stock has dry embossed circles around it.  To do that technique all you need is a template with circles on it and a stylus.  I made my template by using the Big Shot Die-Cut machine and the Circles #2 Bigz Die.  I cut out the whole Circles #2 Bigz Die in thick window sheets (Stampin' Up! brand) tossed away the circles and kept the negative as my template.  I then put the template on my table, put the certainly Celery Card stock on top and used my finger to find a circle and then used my stylus to dry emboss that circle.  I then repositioned my template to do another dry emboss circle and so on.

Another technique I demonstrated on this scrapbook page was the use of Stampin' Up!'s new builder wheels.  It is so easy to use 3 builder wheels at a time and to get each one of have a different color by using a triple cell cartridge.  Before I used to use my Standard and Jumbo wheels on a Classic or Craft Ink Pad to get ink on them but when you are using more than one builder wheel it is kind of hard to do that.  I bought an un-inked triple cell cartridge, added Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip and Rich Razzleberry Classic Re-Inkers and voila easy peasy.

Here is a close up of the Certainly Celery dry embossed circles.....

The possiblities for this technique are endless with the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine and all of the Big Shot Dies available.  A winter scrapbook page with dry embossed snowflakes would look good.
