I Run On Coffee Scrapbook Layout

Hi everyone!  My name is Daisie and I am a coffee addict.  I just can’t function without it.  So it make sense that my scrapbooks should include this part of my life!  Ink Road Stamps has a plethora of caffeine related stamps and stamp sets for us addicts to chose from!  Today’s layout is a mix of some of my favorites.

I don’t often do grids but it is a great go to style for some quick scrapping.  For a layout about coffee, there are plenty of stamps to choose from!  I ended up pulling from 7 stamp sets for this layout!  First,  I stamped out the Mug Life background stamp using Stazon black ink and cut it into 3 inch squares.

Then I cut 2- 3 inch squares out of my favorite white cardstock.  I used Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks and used them to watercolor the squares.  Next, I used the stamp “I Run On coffee and chaos” from the Boymom stamp set to create my center title square.  I then used sentiments from Stars Hollow and Mug Life sets.  These I used on the background squares for some added color.

I used the coffee cups from the Mug Life and PSL stamps sets to create my embellishments.  I used the Mermaid Lagoon and  Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks with the Between the Lines stamp set to create 2 additional squares for my grid.  The background paper I chose is Amy Tangerine Shine On collection.  The gray pattern was subtle yet adds some interest.  I colored the coffee mugs with gray to pull that color up into the layout.  I stitched a grid onto the background with black thread using my sewing machine.

To finish, I assembled my grid.  I added some shimmery blue paper to the remaining grid spaces.  The photos are of me from 2012 when I was in nursing school.  The journaling states how much coffee helped me through the difficult times.  I used the Block Party Alpha Outline stamps for the year.   I added some Flat Back Gems from the shop to complete the layout.
