SAM Challenge - All Spruced Up!

This month's Stampamemory challenge is to scrap lift a layout from the current Ideas Book and Catalogue.  There are several pages that I want to recreate but decided to settle for the lovely layout on page 25 after seeing on display on our stand at CraftExpo last year.

The stamp set is Delightful Decorations which has a matching punch.  It so easy to make, the hardest part was placing the decorations in the right spots!

Having the punch made it so easy to make all the little decorations.  Here's a close up of some of them - it was great to tweak a few here and there - to create a 3d effect.  I used the smaller circle punches and the scallop edge punch to add some extra detail.

The title is from the Fun and Fast Notes set, I used an Early Espresso marker to colour just the words of the stamp.

A little sparkle and a Tiny Tag punch finishes the tree top.


Why not join in this month - scrap lifting is easy and fun and you are guaranteed to love your end result.


Happy scrapping!
