Welcome! This month’s creative hop focusing on Summer Fun started on the Reverse Confetti blog. You should have made it here from Lisa’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you!
I’m sharing two summer vacation-themed scrapbook layouts for which I created embellishments using Reverse Confetti stamps and dies. My first layout (letter-sized) chronicles a family vacation on Martha’s Vineyard.
I stamped the journaling with one of the word/phrases from Here’s the Story. I heat-embossed another Here’s the Story phrase on black cardstock and cut it with the banner die in the Tag Me Confetti Cuts set. Its anchored with a die cut from the Documented Confetti Cuts set.
To the right-hand corner, I added a banner cut with the Double Banner Garland Confetti Cuts. The sentiment from Posted Note Sentiments was heat-embossed on red cardstock and cut with the circle die in the Donut You Know Confetti Cuts set. To finish, I added stars cut with the You Are A Star Confetti Cuts set and a red border cut with the Double Edge Scallop Border Confetti Cuts.
The focus of my second layout (letter-sized) is a family vacation on Maui. The Pineapples Aplenty stamp set, with its coordinating Confetti Cuts set, worked perfectly for a visual accent with the journaling.

Jean, I love both of your layouts…so fun!
great pages! I am a cardmaker, not a scrapbooker, BUT you have absolutely convinced me that I NEED the posted note sentiments since I have seen how you used them on your layouts!!!! I LOVE the white heat embossing on the red and black backgrounds, and how the circle shape just pops out at you….. I just love how that looks, and now totally want to replicate that on some cards!! Thank YOU for the inspiration!!
The black sentiment in reverse really pops your scrapbook page!!
These are fabulous Jean! love those star sentiments cut into circles. beautiful RC made embellies!
I meant posted note sentiments. 😉
What a fabulous layout Jean! I love all of the fantastic elements you added to your page.
Beautiful, and very happylooking! You know what? I love the journaling, because I feel that it’s is just like that, most of the time, that the BEST moments are the ones inbetween planned ones. The ones that just happen. I love that you wrote that down.
Oh, I love these layouts, Jean! They’re fabulous! I love the white embossed sentiments on the black circles!

Both your layouts are WONDERFUL! Absolutely love how you stamped the phrases on your journaling card. Did you stamp before or after you printed out your journaling? This is such a great idea!
