Parisian Blossom Suite

I was so lucky to be asked to present at On Stage here in Edmonton in November! It feels like another life time ago when we consider this busy time of year! I was given the Parisian Blossoms suite to get crafty with. I created a bunch of cards and of course, scrapbook pages! This month I am going to share all of my creations with you. I created 18 cards and 4 pages…three of them are seen here below! Each page is made exclusively with products found in the suite (with the exception of the card stock). I tried to create soft pages as that is how the elements spoke to me. I really loved the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder and incorporated it on all three pages shown. Please leave me a comment if you have any particular questions about my creations!

Happy Wicked Creepy Spooky Halloween

I pulled out all the stops to create this fun and bright Halloween page! I included sentiments from the Word Wishes dies (from the last few posts you can tell I am really into this set of dies!), the Wicked dies and the Spooktacular Bash stamp set. I had to add a cute little monster, he is just a ‘little creepy’ from the Boo to You stamp set plus some spooky spiders and itsy bits bats! I hope you have a fun day celebrating with your families today!

Happy Wicked Halloween

Well I thought I would celebrate the fact that we can now stamp with Purple Posy ink! Yay! It is finally available! Actually truth be told, I needed to make a Halloween layout for one of my monthly groups and was running low on my 12x12 card stock options. I wish so badly that Stampin’ Up! would offer all of our amazing colors in 12x12! Alas, they do not so I was forced to be a little unconventional in creating this page. Challenge accepted! Yay! I used all of the new Halloween stamp sets at my disposal on this layout; Boo to You, Wonderfuly Wicked, Spooktacular Bash and my favourite new set To Every Season (see that bitty bat punch? It is a part of the Every Season Punch Pack! 150670) it is a MUST HAVE! I decided to design this page so you can fit a number of 4x4 photos onto it. Sometimes my group members only create one Halloween page so I like to give them an opportunity to add a lot of photos. The Basic Patten Decorative Masks were also a ‘must use’ as they are so versatile and add just the right amount of dimension and texture the card stock. I am also loving the Word Wishes dies (149629) which are in our Annual Catalogue —they are a scrapbookers best friend as they have so many holiday words in the set! Hope you and your crew have an awesome Halloween Season!

Do you love Memories and More?

Have you crafted with Memories and More? If you have shied away from memory keeping, I truly encourage you to give this product line a chance. I scooped these retired Big Plans cards up on the Clearance Rack a few weeks back. I almost have regret that I didn’t order them when they were current product! I turned them into this AAAAMAZING mini Memories and More album! Here is my secret—-look at each panel like a card front. How would you design and embellish a card? I also put a lot of embellishments on the OUTSIDE of the pocket pages! want to be able to see and touch them when I flip the pages. Dimensionals work awesome to keep stuff stuck down. I love the color combo of these cards too. Calypso Coral, Pineapple Punch and Grey Granite were the perfect pairing for my album, which is my summer 2019 highlights album. I am offering this as all day stamping’ class on Saturday, Nov 23rd from 9:30-5. My stampin’ friends will come and create this album that holds at least 26 photos and has lots of sparkle as I embellished like crazy with rhinestones and Wink of Stella. I do have a couple spots left in this class, so if you are interested in more details please reach out to me! I hope this little snippet encourages you to give this product line a try!

Let it Snow!

Have we met? If so, you probably know that I don’t love winter! Haha! I mean I love things that happen in winter, like Christmas and my birthday, and Valentines day! I do love pretty snow and I try and get out to skate with my kids once a season. I think I was born on the wrong continent…I really should be living in the sunshine and heat 24-7 but its not how it is! So one of the ways I come to terms with my white reality is to create cute winter themed pages like this one! How adorable are these cute snowmen?
