Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop

Hello stamping friends,

Welcome to a scrapbook blog hop with Crafty Collaborations. I haven't made a scrapbook page in quite some time, so this was fun and exciting for me while being a tad stressful all at the same time. 

I made a two page spread so I could fit more pictures, but actually, this isn't even enough. 

This is for the newest addition to our family, my first granddaughter. After having boys in the family for so long, it's fun to buy pink, polka dots, ruffle butts, and bows. And now I can make girly scrapbook pages, too. Woohoo!

They are both 12x12 pages and each one will hold four pictures. 

There isn't a ton of extra stuff to busy the page so the pictures won't be overpowered by all the extra. The pictures will be the focal point. 

Don't forget to keep hopping by clicking the links below to see more scrapbook ideas. 

Also, we are just about halfway through Bonus days, so place your $50 order to receive a $5 bonus coupon to use in August.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Happy Easter Stamping Friends

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

I hope you are all doing well and being productive with the unplanned downtime we all have been given. I haven't honestly been the best, but I have had a ton going on with family needs that I am glad to have the time to concentrate and focus on that.

Today is Good Friday and I hope you can take a few minutes to reflect on what that means for you. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice by dying for us so we can have eternal life through him. What a gift.

Also, it's time for a project with the Sisters in Stamping. We decided to share with you some great Easter projects. I offered this class last month and absolutely love how it turned out. I hope you like it half as much as I do.

This is a home decor piece that you place in a 12"x12" frame to bring some cheer while decorating your home.  Isn't it so fun and screams spring is here? I think so anyway. The little bunnies, chicks, lambs, and butterflies represent spring new life. Of course, the rainboots and umbrellas are perfect representation of April showers bringing May flowers. 

I wish you a Blessed Easter and enjoy your weekend even if you are celebrating the day a little differently than you are used to.

All About the Hearts

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Welcome to another week with the Sisters in Stamping. This week we are all about the hearts. Today is Go Red for Women in honor of women's heart health month. This is a day near and dear to my heart because my mom died at the young age of 40 from a massive heart attack which changed my life forever. 

Below is a picture of her and my fiance (now husband) just a few short weeks before she passed away. Notice she was wearing red. Her favorite color. Interesting how we celebrate women's heart health in February, the month of her birthday, in the same week as her birthday. Great way for our family to remember and honor her.

She somehow always managed to live life to the fullest no matter what was going on around her. It's been 25 years since she left us and I miss her every single day. I still have the dress she is wearing. Perhaps one day I will wear it for her. 

My project for today was a class I held last week. I love, love, love the way it turned out. It's a 12x12 page that goes in a frame for a marvelous home decor piece. It looks very complicated, but in reality it was pretty easy to make. It's all about the layering, and I have a lot of layers going on. 

I used the From My Heart Suite Bundle to make this and then just added in a few other things to complete it. Each little square or rectangle looks great on it's own, but the look of them all together is just fantastic. Using the suite bundle gave me everything at my fingertips and made creating this artwork so easy. 

Everyone at the class loved it. I'm even going to hold a St. Patrick's Day class soon. Contact me if you are interested in that class. I even offer them to go if you can't make it in person.
