Happy Friday

Hello and happy Friday! Lots of awesome new products at The Lilypad (20% off through the weekend) that I want to share today! First off, an adorable kit by One Little Bird

I used it for this page:

Next, the latest installment in Project Mouse by Britt-ish Designs and Sahlin Studio:

I don’t have Disney pictures (that are perfect to scrap with these kits!), but I had some zoo pictures from Australia and this kit seemed made just for them!

Trip of a Lifetime

I am so excited to share what I created with this month’s Memory Pockets Monthly at The Lilypad! First off, I made a page with the main kit and papers by Sara Gleason.

Then, my jaw just about dropped to the floor when I saw the add ons by Sahlin Studio:

 

These products were absolutely perfect for me to scrap a recap page about my month-long April travels. I scrapped these pages in 9″x12″ size (a first!). I love the right page with the 3×4 cards. I had to matte my 8.x”x11″ hybrid map onto a larger piece of paper, and I selected this pretty vellum from my stash, since it matched the colors perfectly.

Credits:

This page is hybrid (=I printed out the digital designs by Sahlin Studio on Canon matte photo paper 8.5×11 and 4×6). Then I added more details.. washi tape, stitching, and of course stamping.

I chose one or two photos from each of the countries we visited.

I also made a fun recap of the main statistics of the trip. I couldn’t fit more, but I love this summary.

I added numbers to the map for the countries we visited, and listed them on a journaling card.

More stamping on journaling cards..

I made the title combining three pretty alpha stamps. It truly was the trip of a lifetime!

I’m so happy with how this spread turned out!

May gallery

With my travels, I never shared here the page I made for the May gallery at write.click.scrapbook. The theme was everyday, so I scrapped a couple pictures I took of a groundhog in our backyard. Looking out our kitchen window is one of my favorite daily activities!

Inked | Color

| cristina

You guys.. I am still pinching myself that I was asked to contribute to Inked | Color, an online class taught by Maggie Massey at Studio Calico!
I have a big, big love for stamps and bright colors, so this class couldn’t have been a better fit for me! There’s still time to sign up, and classes start on May 12! Here are a couple sneaks of what I have been working on for class… 😉

I am using this stamp that is one of 4 stamp sets released for this class.
Hope to see you in class!

 

Heart This One Photo

| cristina

Hello and happy Friday! The page I am sharing today means a lot to me, because it’s about one of the most important people in my life, my beloved grandmother. Her health has been declining rapidly these past two years, so I wanted to document one of the happy moments she’s had when I visited her recently.

This is one very special lady right there, who gave me the best childhood memories I could possibly have.

I combined 2 new products from The Lilypad (left) and digital brushes from Ali Edwards (right) to make this page.

  

This lovely kit is perfect for Mother’s Day (this weekend in the US) and it’s 20% off too!
