oxofficesuccess specialguestartist all eyes on amy barnes amy barnes senior associate Firestone, Colorado To see another one of Amy’s projects, check out this issue’s Online Extras. amy’s tips for basic scrapbooking: • Start simply with basic layering and colors. Use a few basic accessories, such as ribbon or brads. • Copy something from the catalog or a class—as you practice you’ll be able to branch out on your own Amy Barnes, a senior associate from Firestone, Colorado, doesn’t usually scrapbook. With two lively boys and an active life, she usually doesn’t have the time to devote to completing a scrapbook. However, when she does scrapbook, enjoyable things happen. Amy loves a challenge, and stretches herself artistically by using color combinations she sees others use to step out of her comfort zone. She recently stretched herself even more by entering a scrapbook page in one of Stampin’ Up!’s contests. “Entering the contest was one way I challenged myself,” Amy says. “I had never entered a contest before, and I thought I should try.” Even though Amy doesn’t scrapbook frequently, she feels that cards and scrapbook pages aren’t that different. For example, you look at color combinations the same way on both project types, use the same tools, and create a balanced layout. The purpose is just different. In the case of her Lookin’ Good page, she sat down with the goal of using the Jumbo eyelets so she could enter the What Big Eyes You Have contest. “I usually have to clear away the disaster from the last project first though!” Amy chuckles. For this page, Amy lined up lots of Jumbo eyelets at first, but didn’t really like it. She then noticed that two eyelets together Family: Husband Scott; sons Grant (5) and Logan (3) looked like a pair of eyes. The page really started taking shape after this connection. “The eyes reminded me of binoculars, and the photos we had just taken in the mountains with my boys looking through binoculars,” Amy remembers. “I had just printed the photos, and they were sitting on my desk. So I used them.” Since the eyelets and binocular lenses were round, Amy decided the photos should be round as well. She used the Coluzzle Cutting System, cans, and (of course) Circle punches for the various circles. Her page colors came from the photos—the boys’ shirts and the mountains behind them in particular. “It turned out cute!” Amy says. “Having a theme definitely helped.” Amy says that her projects frequently change between conception and the finished product, and she finds it rewarding when a page turns out better than she had originally expected. “Nothing is perfect the first time you try it,” she shares. “It’s like riding a bike—the first time you try you aren’t going to be perfect.” Amy says that when her customers get frustrated that their projects don’t turn out right the first time, she reminds them that it just takes practice. ■ lookin’ good page Rough Edges Mini Alphabets and Seeing Spots sets; Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, Only Orange, and Whisper White card stock; Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, and Only Orange Classic Stampin’ Pads; Basic Black Stampin’ Write journaler; Pewter Jumbo eyelets; Stampin’ Dimensionals; Coluzzle® Cutting System; Crop-A-Dile; 3/4" Circle, 1-1/4" Circle, and 1-3/8" Circle punches 18 www.stampinup.com
