TSOL: More spinner cards...

Hello! I just wanted to share a couple of cards using the companion set to the spinner2stamp set by The Stamps of Life. The companion set is called morespinnerideas2stamp and works with the dies, too!  I love the different patterned triangles to stamp in the spinner slots.

I know everyone in the mid west is sick of snow, but I couldn't resist turning those triangle shapes into pine trees nestled in a blanket of snow. :)
I added some of Stephanie's "sprinkles" glitter to my snow. I also used a sentiment from the tea4two set, snowflakes from the Christmas2build set, and the hearts from the sampler2love set.

The Stamps Of Life: Spinner2stamp!

The Stamps Of Life has a fabulous new release this month! Spinner2stamp is a wonderful set with so many possibilities and uses. You can make sweet spinner game cards for the little ones (and big kids) in your life, along with making awesome cards with all of the shapes included in this set. I used the Sizzix cirlce flip it die for the first card and used the set as a spinner.

This next card, uses the triangle shape in a fun, geometric pattern. I used the sentiment from the words4crayons set. Arrows are so trendy and fun, so you can also use those on your cards, scrapbook pages and Project Life albums!

December Daily 2013: DONE!

Hi, there! I FINALLY finished my December Daily album for 2013.  I was great about keeping up with it on a daily basis at the beginning of December, but then got behind with our busy schedule. I used the same style of Simple Stories album that I used last year. I used the Heidi Swapp Believe collection this year.  I bought the 12x12 paper pad and cut my own 4x6 and 3x4 cards from the papers.  I did this all ahead of time, which was super helpful. I also used the borders, and several embellishment packs that went with the collection.

I love that this album helps to keep in perspective not only the big, traditional holiday happenings, but also the little things that are just part of life.  The layout above shows that I reorganized my pantry, along with watching Rudolph in the evening.

I also wanted to include some of the artwork that my boys made for me over the holidays. I picked a day, that I forgot to take a photo and added some art to the layout.  The Santa in the top right was too big, so I just snapped a photo of it so that it could be included.

Here is a page that shows a less than happy holiday memory, but still part of life! A sick kid.  I also like to include my home decor in my albums, so that the boys can remember some day.

I didn't want to bore you all with a photo of every page this year, since I was bad about keeping up with it, but here is a glimpse!

TSOL: CELEBRATE!

Hello! Today I wanted to share a card using some fabulous Stephanie Barnard/Sizzix products! I just love sets that come with dies and stamps. It makes coordinating a card quick and easy, and takes some of the decision making out of the process.

This particular set is the Sizzix Framelit Banner and Pennant stamp and die set.

I added some washi tape to the bottom and baker's twine to the top to finish it off!

Heartfelt Creations: Vintage girl layout

Happy New Year!!! I hope you all are blessed with friends, family, health and wealth in 2014.  I am hoping to complete a bunch of scrapbooking this year. It is something that I have recently gotten back into, and I would like to continue on that path. It is how I started down this crazy path of papercrafting after all. :)
Today's layout features yummy stamps and dies from Heartfelt Creations. I used stamps and dies from several collections. You can find the product list and instructions for recreating this page on the Heartfelt Creations blog.
See that leafy die behind my rose? I used the leftover negative and some white acrylic paint, to add the white stenciled leaf images through out the layout.  LOVE the way it turned out!
