Three little words ~ I miss you♥ Scrapbooking Page

This is one of my recent scrapbooking layouts that I have designed as a memorial page for a SIDS & Kids group that I go to. I made this one for my beautiful baby girl who saddly passed away from a CHD just over 4 years ago. I have blanked out the photos, just because they are so precious to me. Scrapbooking for me is my greatest form of therapy & I put so much heart & soul into each page that I make, especially when they are for my precious little girl who I miss so much. I have used Pretty in Pink & Whisper White as the theme colours & for the boys page that I am yet to make, it will be the same layout, just with Marina Mist & Whisper White. The borders at the top & bottom were cut using the new Lace Ribbon Border Punch, which I think is just stunning! I used the beautiful flourish stamp from the 'Baroque Motifs' set & to give it another dimension I then ran those pieces through the Big Shot in the 'Vintage Wallpaper' Embossing Folder. The Words at the bottom are from the 'Three little words' set which I absoloute LOVE & I think are so fitting. I hope you like it as much as I do. ♥

Butterfly Easel Cards

These gorgeous little Easel Cards were originally designed by the fabulous Demo Bronwyn Eastley & after seeing some that my Upline had made for the first time, well I had to give them a go! I thought they were such a great idea & any excuse for me to use my Stampin' Up! 'Beautiful Butterflies' die...well I was hooked! I embossed the wings using the vintage wall paper embossing folder & added a little bling. The stamp that I used was from the Sale-a-bration set 'Bliss' from earlier this year. I don't think you can ever have enough of these butterflies :)

Christmas Workshop Cards & Favor Box

This week coming is World Wide Week of Workshops for Stampin' Up!

My hostess requested that we do a Christmas Theme for her workshop, so I have gone with an Old Olive & Rich Razzleberry theme. I love these colours together & with a hint of Whisper White here & there, it really sets them off.

I am really loving how this card has turned out.  The gorgeous little bauble stamp that I have used on the cards in this workshop is from the Tags til Christmas set, which I love because it coordinates perfectly with the ornament punch.

I sprayed  the piece of whisper white with Silver Foil Smooch Spritz, which has given  it a really gorgeous shimmer. I also gave the little bauble a light spray before I stuck it onto the card. 

These little fancy Favor boxes are a definite favourite of mine for any occasion! I've cut these in Old Olive & then using one of the new designer frames embossing folders, embossed a small piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock to make the frame. I then coloured in the dec 25 stamp (also from Tag's Til' Christmas) with my Old Olive & Rich Razzleberry Markers & stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock. This stamp is great because it coordinates perfectly with the decorative label punch along with the little tag that I have attached to the lolly bag.

Well I hope the girls at my Workshop have fun making them :)

Pillow Box Swaps

This weekend we have Stampin' Up! Regional Training & this mountain of Pillow boxes are what I have made to swap with other demonstrators! I am so excited & looking forward to a day full of inspiration, new ideas & looking forward to meeting hundreds of other local deomonstrators :)

I've made 50 Pillow Boxes in total. 10 of each in 5 of our 'In Colours' ~ Pear Pizzazz, Concord Crush, Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade & Peach Parfait. I cut each pillow box using the pillow box die & the fabulous Stampin' Up! Big Shot machine & then embossed them using their exclusive vintage wallpaper & Square Lattice embossing folders. I then stamped my images from the very cute Cottage Garden Stamp Set in the coordinating Stampin' Ink Pads. I also used the scallop oval & decorative label punches. This stamp set has got to be one of my favourites! I just love that little butterfly!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Halloween!!!

So for the first time, I took my Little Men "Trick or Treating" last night & they had so much fun!!! My eldest Little Man dressed up as a ghost, so I made little ghost Treat boxes for them & their little friends. Happy Halloween!
