This stamp set is such an obvious one for cards, so I challenged myself to use it on a scrapbook page. This was such a super quick page, took less than 20 minutes, which is rare for me since I tend to over-think things, but I'm really pleased with the results. I also love how this stamp set matches the new Cocktail Alphabet stamp set as well - which is what I used to stamp her name on this page.


Products Used (all CTMH): Blue Ribbon paper pack, Autumn Harvest Textured CS (Outdoor Denim), new Spring Blossom Just Blooms, Indian Corn Blue ink, Outdoor Denim ink, A Little Everything stamp set, Cocktail Alphabet stamp set, Red Sparkles (retired), Outdoor Denim striped ribbon (retired).

This week's challenge over at Sketches! {by tamara} is a Journaling Challenge from Karen - to "journal about an interesting characteristic or trait of someone you love"

Here is the layout that I created - can you tell that I just LOVE this new Topstitch paper and Togetherness stamp! I liked the layout on page 8 of the new Spring Idea Book from CTMH, so I used that for my inspiration for this page.

This tag pulls out to reveal my hidden journaling...

And here is a close-up of the journaling...on the front I made a list of some of her traits...

...and on the back I added a little more detail about some of them - especially the more unique traits...

Here is a close-up of the Suede Pinwheels and Stickease that I clustered together.

My computer is on the fritz, but I was able to use the laptop to get at least one new project posted. Here is a fun 2-page layout that I did from Brailee's 2nd Birthday. I used the Let's Get Together paper pack, Cocktail Alphabet stamp set, Togetherness stamp set (I LOVE that stitch stamp and have used it a ton already - stay tuned during the month of February to see more!). I used a layout from the January 2010 PageMaps.

Here is a close-up of the left page. Sorry for the glare on the photos. Isn't Brailee such a cutie!

I used some Flip Flaps to add more pictures to the right page - I also have some hidden journaling and extra pictures but I forgot to take pictures of that.

Here are some cards I've already posted using this stamp set. On the following card, I used one of the cupcake stamps and masked off the stand to stamp just the row of cupcakes on this coordinating envelope.

Here I stamped one of the cakes and dotted with Liquid Glass. I then masked off the cake to stamp just the candles on the matching envelope. I also masked the sentiment to get it in a straight line instead of stacked.

Thanks for looking - happy hopping!
