Scrapbooking Tip #1

Something I hear a lot in regards to memory keeping is that people just don’t know where to start. If you are seasoned card maker or a newbie stamper, I often find scrapbook page inspiration from my cards. Try looking at your 12x12 as a ‘card front’. It is after all, just a bigger canvas! Here you can see how I took this card (inspired by a project in the new annual catalogue) and recreated it as a page layout! Often we have more space so we can add in extra phrases, layers or embellishments onto our pages too.

Who loves a rainbow?

I know I absolutely love a rainbow and when I can make something with a color scheme it just makes my whole heart happy! I was so excited to play with our new In Colors (Roccoco Rose, Pretty Peakcock, Terracotta Tile, Seaside Spray and Purple Posey) and add them into a rainbow lineup! I love how amazing our colors all look together! This layout was actually quite quick to put together using the Tailored Tag punch!

Let's Mix and Mingle

I love how the new In Colors look together as a family, but they actually look really great with their extended other family—the 2018/2020 In Colors! Who knew? And showcasing them w them alphabet framelits is just awesome!

Meet the New In Colors!

As you know, every year Stampin’ Up! introduces 5 new colours for us to be creative with. Each collection lasts 2 seasons in the Idea Book and Catalogue. The new 2019/2021 In Colours are Roccoco Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, and Purple Posy. I would describe them as having a grey muted undertone. They look amazing on their own or paired with some of our permanent colours. So far I would say my favourite is Seaside Spray as I am really enjoying the blue tones in our colour assortment.

In Color Cookies

I have a friend who is an amazing cookie designer. Over the years she has graciously put up with all of my weird cookie requests. She has made me everything from 50 Shades of Grey, tropical, Star Wars, to Christmas light bulb cookies (if you were on the Alaskan Incentive Trip you may remember those as I shared them during my Share Fair demo) and all sorts of stampin’ related shapes. She did not disappoint on creating me some ink pad cookies in the new In Colors. I think she did an amazing job as she didn’t even have a catalogue to look at!
