FLASHBACK FRIDAY'S - Wonderful Mother - Scrapbook Tin - Sale-A-Bration Smackdown

Happy Monday Everyone!

Yesterdays post brought a flurry of e-mails, hits and messages about Dreaming = Create = Pillow share see here.

Today's project I have been working on uses all new products from the Stampin Up Occasions Mini Catalogue. For this project I designed a mini scrap book tin using Nature Walk Clear Stamp Set (121997) and Designer Series Paper Botanical Gazette (121783).

With Mothers Day right around the corner I thought what a better idea than a mini scrapbook in a tin for a wonderful mother.

Look for PDF instructions on how to make this in the next few weeks.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS - There is No End to the Adventures of Madison

Have you every had an idea that you absolutely had to do to the point that you stayed up until 1 a.m. working on then go to bed and dream about it and come up with a great idea. Then you wake up thinking about it and how fantastic its going to look and force yourself to stay in bed because 4:30 a.m. is to early to get up on your day off? Well that was me today. The following page was inspired by a little girl that is close to my heart. When I got married Madison was my flower girl well basically she did what she wanted why I think she even pulled on Father Paul's robes during the ceremony but who cared she was so adorable in her little dress hard to believe after 7 years how much she has grown into the bright and lovable little girl.

For this project I only used Stampin' Up card stock Bashful Blue and of course Early Espresso the other products I cannot mention as part of my agreement as a Demonstrator. But if you would like to know just send me an e-mail I would be more than happy to give you my recipe.


Madison's Page Full of Fun and Spunk Just Like Her




In her 9 years of age Madison loves and has done many things. She is a beautiful singer and dancer, loves to ski and compete down hill, she loves to fish and cook. Why she even has her own cooking show on YouTube. I think by the time Madison is a young adult she will have accomplished and done things that we could only hope to do in our life time. She has a beautiful smile and laugh that will warm that special place in your heart.

FLASH BACK FRIDAY - Hand Painted Poppies

Trying to get organized some days is impossible so I have decided to give myself a break on Fridays show some of my favourite cards, scrap booking pages and 3D projects I have done from the past. 

So welcome to my first Flashback Friday and enjoy!

It has been so long since I have posted so much has happened that I haven't really had the design bug in me. With the help of my Stampin Up friends I have been able to "Get Back to It" and with that my first project in a long time.

For this project I used the following:

White card stock final size 5" x 7" flat vertical
Pleasant Poppies Clear-Mount Stamp Set
Blender pens
Stampin Up Classic Ink
Text generated on computer

Stamp image using either Early Espresso or Soft Suede as outline, choose your colours for flowers  and buds and stems such as Tangerine Tango, Gumball Green and Lucky Limeade and accent with Soft Suede.

The key to the card is working in layers, light to dark and choosing where the lighting is coming from for me it was coming from the right so I made sure I accented with the Soft Suede on the left side. 

This is a fun project that doesn't require a lot of product and the effect is breathtaking.

Thanks for stopping by.
