GIVE THANKS

 

I am soooo excited!  I was asked to be a Guest Designer over at Love To Create Challenges.  The image I chose to use is Scarecrow n Bird from Robyn's Fettish.  The theme for this challenge was "Give Thanks".    The papers, "Give Thanks" stamped sentiment, photo fastener, ribbon and ribbon slide are all Close To My Heart products.  The flower is by Prima.  I used Spectrum Noir Markers to color the image.  Thank you so much for stopping by to see my creation.  I do hope that you will leave me a comment and let me know how you liked it.

A CUP OF TEA

"A mother's love is like a cup of tea....

they are always there to comfort you." 

 

These are the 4 pages I  designed and assembled for everyone to make at the May Workshop. Everything to make all 4 pages is provided at the workshop. Everyone gets a complete package of the Mini-Medley Accents Pacifica Collection (Collection Contents: 1 - Frame, 2 - Square Tags, 2 - Slider Tabs, 8 - Buttons, 6 - Bigger Brads, 12 - Brads, 1 yd. Ribbon). All you need to bring is your adhesive and scissors. As always, I have extra adhesive and scissors on hand for you to purchase, if needed. The cost of the workshop is $20 this includes the cost of your kit.  You can order a workshop kit, if you do not live local for $20 + shipping.

I used the Pemberley Paper Pack to make all of layouts.  The spoon was heat embossed using the VersaMark Ink Pad and Silver Embossing Powder.  The VersaMark Ink Pad lasts a loooong time!  I have had mine for several years without adding more ink to it! 

 

The teacups and spoon are from the "A Sip" stamp set. The flowers on this page are from the "Card Word Puzzle" stamp set.

Baroque Alphabet (includes 30 stamps 1.5" tall).  The flourishes are from the "You and Me" stamp set.....this was a limited edition stamp set.

The metal frame around the "M" is from the Mini-Medley Accents Pacifica Collection.

The teapot and teacups on this page are from the "Tea Time" stamp set.  The flowers are from the "Card Word Puzzle" stamp set.

I designed the photo mat (pictured above) to have three large pockets for tucking away journaling, adding tags or extra photos.  I put tags in the side pockets just for these photos.

I designed this page with 5 pockets.  The darker blue printed square has 1 huge pocket open at the top.  The 4 small squares that are glued onto the darker blue printed square also form pockets that are open at the top!  So lots of pockets for adding extra photos, tags, etc.

Stamp Pads used on all layouts:  Outdoor Denium, Pacifica, Indian Corn Blue, Tulip, Goldrush, Honey, and Desert Sand

I hope you have been inspired!  Be sure to leave me a comment, if you can.  Comments are always loved and appreciated!

YOU GOTTA LOVE IT!!!! I SURE DO!!!!

I just know you will love these layouts as much as I do.  Click the photos to see them close-up.   I created these layouts for my monthly scrapbooking workshop using the  Sophia Level 1 kit.  They are the two pages that everyone who attends one of my Workshops in August will be making the night of the workshop. Everything is supplied, except you will need to bring your favorite adhesive and scissors.

"LOVE" at the top of the page pictured above was stamped using the Bohemian Alphabet stamp set.  This is one of our newest stamp sets.  With our NEW LOWER PRICES you can get this stamp set now for only $29.95 (was $34.95).  This stamp set comes on an 8 1/2" x 11" carrier sheet in a heavy plastic snap closure envelope.

Close-up of the flowers and butterflies.  Stamp sets used:  Aspiration C1340 (flowers); Embrace Life C1391 (butterflies); D1354 Endless Friendship (leaves & yellow flower)

The photo on the above layout is in a Flip-Flap.  It lifts up revealing more photos.  Using 1 Flip-Flap on this layout allows you to put three 4"x6" photos on one mat where you would normally have only 1 photo!  How amazing is that?!!!!  The two mats shown without photos are large enough for up to a 4"x4" photo.

Close-up of Flip-Flap.  By adding just 1 Flip-Flap to this layout...I can add 5 photos, instead of just 3.  You can use more than one Flip-Flap stacked/laid on top of each other.  15 Flip-Flaps (for 4"x6" photos) come in each package for $3.95. 

Close-up of flowers.  Ink colors used:  Pear, Hollyhock, Blush, Sunflower

Add a tag as a decorative element to any scrapbook page. Put the tags in pockets on your layout or just add them to the design of the page with a greeting stamped on them.

Use the back of the tag for journaling or pictures.


First, I cut a tag from Colonial White cardstock. Next, I stamped the tree branch from the "Aspiration" stamp set using Black ink. Then, I spray misted the tag with 3 colors. I stamped the flower from the "Aspiration" stamp set...cut it out...and attached it to the tag. Last, I added an eyelet and ribbon to the hole I punched at the top of the card.
