Seaside Paper & You Mean the World to Me Sentiments

I created this card for a birthday but the stamp set is so versatile and includes other sentiments! EX: "You Mean the World to Me". How great is that!? Plus the colors of the Seaside papers are so soothing and cheerful. 

Products used (click on product for details): Seaside Paper, "You Mean the World to Me" stamp set, sorbet heart, and I used our Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut the circle at 1 3/4" and the Scallop circle at 2". Then added a gem, piece of ribbon and hemp string (retired).

To My Best Friend

That is my husband! Anytime he has a challenge and I am concerned, he says with a smile! "Make me a card!" I haven't made him one in a while but this sure made him happy! I love him so much!
Products used to make this card: Snowhaven papers, silver shimmer tape, black shimmer taper, Baker's Twine Neutral Metallic Assortment, aqua dots, Chalk It Up Assortment (heart), "Look To The Light"stamp set B1428. All available on my website here:

Places We've Been...Thank You, Stacy Julian!

"Places We've Been" (visited...travelled to...vacations we love, etc.)
I did some scrapping in high school and some later but just in the past few years have been serious about putting family memories in albums. So the idea of doing photos in chronological order from birth to present day?....well it was an overwhelming thought. I was behind before I got started! Then, I saw this awesome gal, Stacy Julian (Blog: stacyjulian.com), on a tv scrapbooking show a few years ago. I particularly loved the idea of creating albums by events/people: people we love, places we've been, etc. Her idea set me free! I thought...I will make this MY scrapbook philosophy! And so I did.

I am enjoying creating this month with the Timberline paper packet and embellishments!  The design is pattern 2 from  our "How To" books, "Make It From Your Heart", Vol 2.  These pages will go in our album, Wyoming. I dedicate the entire book to that state as we visited all major towns/cities/sites and took some amazing photos. GREAT family memory! In 9 days! Worthy of binding!

Man Art

I have been creating with a favorite paper line, Timberline. It's so manly! Created a Father's Day card for the MAN and a mountain card for the SON! Great papers for vacation also. Sneak Peek!! I used our new markers that are available August 1st on the Son card with the Muir quote.  They are so awesome. Besides I love to color but not in the lines usually. These markers are magic I tell ya. They moved on their own and stayed in the lines…Purchase all papers and embellishments here at
