Happy national scrapbooking day!

in 2017, Announcement, Creativity, Gift Making on 04/26/17

I’m a little early, but May is just around the corner!  May is national scrapbook month! This Saturday so happens that I’m hosting my spring fling scrapbooking day! Although, I wasn’t planning on showing sneak peeks prior to the event, I have two new  openings… so if you want to attend let me know:) I love scrapbooking.  It’s a great way to get together with friends and socialize while preserving memories.  I included in my guests goodie bag a journaling pen.  I think writing down the events of that special page is just so memorable for the person reading it. I used Stampin up! retired 12 x12 linen album.  I love to decorate my albums and always put a twist on things and add an extra technique.  You might want to check on the retired list and the clearance rack.  Stampin up always has great deals.  The clearance rack contains new items at a very good price.  See my link below.

My album contains products that are moving forward in the new 2017-2018 catalogue and some items are retiring.  The pop of pink specialty dsp is on the retiring list.  I loved the combination of black, white, gold and pink designs it contains. I’m sad to see that the so detailed thinlits dies are retiring as well.  I loved the detailed it brought to my cards and pages.  Here is one of the cards I made using these thinlits.  Click HERE. If you were to see my album up close, you would notice the glitter on my ferns from the butterfly basics stamp set. I used the wink of stella in clear for that  shine, glittery image. I love that stuff, wish it came in bigger containers!!!!

When I attended the on stage event in Amsterdam, I learned a new term = fussy cutting!!! So I detailed cut out my ferns since no thinlits exist for these.  I hope my guests will like fussy cutting 🙂

So if you want to participate this weekend or want the class to go, please email me.  I have two spots that opened up! You are welcome to forward my message to a friend:)

Details below:

If you are a scrapbook lover just like me, you don’t want to miss my spring fling Stamp-a-rama. We will be making a 12×12 album, special cover Kim style. This fun day includes an album, 12 pages and protectors, a large goodie bag with all your products and catered lunch/snacks.  Save the date:  April 29thfrom 9 to 4pm. Places are limited. I’ll be hosting in my home.  Total fee is $99.  If you want this class to go cost is $140 (includes shipping) for pick up $125.

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
