SUMMER DAYS-6X6 SCRAPBOOK PAGE

Is scrapbooking something you would love to try, but you are intimidated and get lost when you look at all the myriads of scrapbooking papers, embellishments, gizmos and gadgets available out there and it appears you need it all to complete the task?

It may surprise you, but you can make beautiful pages that are quick and easy to produce without alot of fuss-with Stampin' Up!'s Simply Scrappin'® kits! Each kit provides 12x12 cardstock and pages of images which are self-adhesive die-cuts-many of which coordinate with matching stamp sets! Each kit also comes with several terrific layout ideas, so to create the scrapbook pages, just cut, copy and add your own photos! You can finish complete albums using these kits, in just a few hours!

Here's a cute 6x6 scrapbook page (compliments of Stampin' Up!) This page is made with the Simply Scrappin' Summer Days Kit on page 175 of the current Stampin' Up! Spring-Summer 2008 Collection, SNAIL Adhesive, Paper Cutter and Stampin' Dimensionals:
