My Review: The generous folks over at Scrapbuck.com sent me a box full of craft supplies to review for all of you. Today I am going tell you about those supplies and how I used them for this review. First let me tell you a little bit about what I received. I got a huge pad of ColorBok Deluxe Textured Cardstock which contains 50 sheets of pastel colored cardstock, 2 of each color and the colors range from beige up to lilac and several colors in between. This 50 sheet pad of cardstock sells for ONLY $6.00. I also got a 6 sheet paper pack (12x12 size) in a beach vacation theme by Forever in Time (tm). This 6 sheet vacation paper pack sells for ONLY $1.00.

The next several items are a bunch of high quality scrapbooking embellishments! From Phrase Cafe I got a pack of epoxy stickers in a vacation theme that sells for $1.75, a pack of Soft Spoken "toddler" theme embellishments that sell for $1.80, a Jolee's Boutique 21 pc. "Princess" page title or embellishments that cost $2.00, a pack of 3D White Pearl Halves that costs $1.25, a Making Memories Glitter Die-Cuts 76 pc. "Just Chillin" design for $2.50 a pack, a package of Pop-Dots that sells for $1.00 and a large package of Chipboard Embellishments in the Starfish Design that sells for $2.65.

The third group of items I received is a sheet of Embossed Cardstock Stickers in a beach/vacation theme that sells for $1.00, a set of 8 clear stamps in the "Life at the Beach" theme that sells for $3.50, a large roll of Double-Sided Tape that sells for $1.00, a black Ink It Up! stamp pad that sells for $1.00, a 4 piece Sparkle Glitter Gel Pens set that sells for $1.00 and finally a Clear Stamp Tool (to use with the clear stamp set) that sells for $1.00. Wow!!! I got a lot of great stuff!

Here is a 12x12 scrapbooking layout that I made using supplies from Scrapbuck.com. For this layout I used a pink piece of scrapbooking paper that has "Princess" wording all over it from my own paper stash as the background for the layout. I had 3 photos of my little grand daughter wearing a pink princess costume that I wanted to use in the layout. I cropped 2 of them down just a little bit and then I cropped down the third one so that it measures 3" square. I then used 2 sheets of the pink textured cardstock and 1 sheet of the white textured cardstock from the Colorbok Deluxed Textured Cardstock pad that has 50 sheets in it from Scrapbuck and it only costs $6.00 to triple mat all three photos. The inner mat is pink, the middle one is white and the outer one is pink and I left an 1/8" border around each mat. I used double sided tape to mat them all and to apply them to my scrapbooking page.

I had a sheet of pink vellum in my stash and I cut the vellum on the diagonal and then placed the triangle of vellum onto my layout running from the top right down to the bottom left. I used their double sided tap to attach the vellum to my page and was pleasantly surprised that you can't see the tape underneath the vellum, yeah!!! I then cut six squares from the pink vellum that was leftover and each square measures 2 1/2" and then I cut each little square on the diagonal to make vellum photo corners for each of the three photos. Again, I used their double sided tape to adhere them onto the corners of each photo. I then took the tiny self-adhesive pink rhinestones and placed one in each corner on each photo to add a little Princess "bling" to the layout.
For my page title I simply used my Cricut on the #1 size setting and cut out the letters CUTIE from medium pink textured cardstock and then did the shadow setting and cut the same letters out of white textured cardstock (cardstock from the Colorbok Deluxe Textured Cardstock pad). I ran all the letters through my Xyron sticker maker to apply adhesive to the backsides and layered them together. I used my glue pen to glue them onto my layout.

I would personally like to thank Scrapbuck for allowing me to do a product review for their company and for hosting a giveaway here on the Passionate About Crafting Blog.
