MEMORY KEEPING IS MY GO TO MONDAY FUN

Another week and another great product to showcase.

This week I am taking a kit and doing something completely different with it.

I am using the Harvest Home Garland Kit this week for my usual weekly project shares – a scrapbooking layout, cards and a 3D item

I knew the leaves contained in the kit would be perfect for a scrapbook layout.

Somewhere, I have a number of photos taken on a trip to the US where we visited the New England region during ‘fall’. So I will be able to add some of these to this page. Then I can add some hand written journaling around the wreath.

I used a Very Vanilla 12″x 12″ Two-tone card as the base.

Then I used a bowl to sketch the outline for the wreath.

I started by roughly positioning the leaves around the circle before going back and adhering them in place.

The acorn embellishments were cut in half and glued in place.

The photo placement panel combines Basic Gray, Soft Sea Foam and Basic White layers.

The title uses Cajun Craze Two-tone card, Adhesive Sheets and the Mini Alphabet Dies.

The final feature is a triple Linen Thread bow.

Tomorrow I will have card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

MONDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR SOME MEMORY KEEPING

This week I am highlighting the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection.

When I first saw this collection, in the September – December 2025 Mini Catalogue, I knew that I had the perfect photos to scrapbook.

In 2022, we travelled in Europe and visited Iceland for the first time. It was an amazing country. We hired a camper van and almost completely circumnavigated the isalnd. Needless to say, the nights could get quite chilly.

One night I got up to visit the bathroom and on the way back to the van I looked up and saw what looked like swirling white clouds. Then I realised it was the Northern Lights. I woke Rob up and grabbed my phone to take some photos. The photos revealed the lights were actually green.

Have you seen the Northern Lights in Iceland? If you have, make sure you leave me a message.

Do you like the look of our campervan?

I chose a piece Lost Lagoon Two-tone 12″x 12″ card for the base.

For the title of this page, I used Alphabet A La Mode dies to cut the letters of the place where we saw the lights. I used one of the Lights of Aurora 6″x 6″ DSP designs for the letters. These were attached to two strips of Basic Black card, using Adhesive Sheets behind each letter. Then I positioned them over some of the same paper.

I printed and trimmed the photos and attached them to Blackberry Bliss photos bases. These were then positioned on the page and adhered them in place.

The Light & Wonder Photopolymer Stamp Set was used to stamp the three sentiments used on this page. Light and MAgic were stamped and fussy cut before being popped up with Dimensionals. The ‘May your day be filled with’ was stamped onto a piece of the DSP and punched out using the new Sign Design Punch – the punch works perfectly with this stamp set.

For the journaling punched panels, I used two small cards from the Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack. The cards were perfect because they have printed lines ready to write on and it allowed me to use three of these punched shapes on the page,

Finally I added some of the new Frosted Iridescent Dots to embellish the page.

Now it’s time to make some projects for this week. Will you join me tomorrow?

Until then, happy stamping.

MEMORY KEEPING MONDAY IS ALWAYS FUN

This week I am featuring the Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Workshop Kit and the coordinating Scrapbooking frmo Scratch products.

This kit has everything needed (excluding adhesives) to make the three two-page layouts (167315 $65AU).

You can also create even more layouts using these supplimentary products, including the Weekend Adventure Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheet (167314 $29.95AU).

The Weekend Adventure Photopolymer Stamp Set has a fantastic variety of images and greetings for memorykeeping and card making (167318 $35).

You can also add the coordinating Weekend Adventure Two-Tone card to continue your creative endeavours (167324 $21).

I followed the layout instructions to recreate the kit designs.

The three layouts do not have any stamping on them but that is something you can add if you want to.

I love the brickwork look on the top page and all the layered elements on both pages.

This page also has many overlapping layers.

Then I created my own single page design using the more of the products on my desk.

This simple layout includes stamping across the central Old Olive strip. I would love to have the boot print as a stamp.

Tomorrow I have a technique card, and some tips, to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
