MONDAY IS FOR MEMORY KEEPING

In a little over two weeks MDH (my darling husband) and I will celebrate our 40th anniversary!

When I was planning this double page layout, I had in the back of my mind that I would dig out a load of photos from across the years to add to these pages.

This week I am featuring three Mix & Match Ephemera packs – Good Times, Time for Celebration and Greetings for All.

Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (165353)

Time for Celebration Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (165354)

Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (164862)

I also decided to feature the new Party Banners Dies (165264) – my new favourite die collection.

For the first page of the layout I added three White Willow Banners to the 12″x 12″ Two-tone Granny Apple Green card. The banners were added using three strips of double-sided tape to create a pocket for journalling panels.

I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Granny Apple Green 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Then I used the Party Alphabet Dies (165263) to cut out the letters for the layout title.

I placed the ‘a great’ words on a strip of the same two-tone card and then created a torn upper and lower edge to frame the words.

A paper piercing tool was used to create the holes that were used to thread white baker’s twine to ‘hang’ the banner pieces.

The second page of the layout had the hanging banner continue with each banner holding a journalling panel.

The journalling panels were made from a piece of Willow White card. I used the Keeping Tabs Punch to cut a tab from some Granny Apple Green DSP. After securing the tab to the journalling panel, I added one of the black and white pears from the Goods Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

Both pages had two large pears adhered to finish the title – “We’re a Great Pear”.

I’m looking forward to rifling through our photos to find the six or seven that I will include on this layout.

Tomorrow I will start sharing the 25 cards I have made using the ephemera packs.

Until then, happy stamping.

MEMORIES NEED TO BE MADE ON MONDAYS

Well, I get to say ‘welcome back’ after my week away on holdiays.

Today I want to share some scrapbooking layouts that I made during the Creativity Now virtual event that many Stampin’ Up! demonstrators were able to take part in earlier this month.

The event featured the soon to be available Peaceful Garden Suite Collection and the Peaceful Days Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.

Both the Suite and the Workshop Kit are just stunning and will be available when the September – December 2025 Mini Catalogue goes live.

The first six images show the layouts made using the Peaceful Days Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.

The kit comes with great instructions.

I bought a few clear plastic wallets to store the pieces of DSP and two-tone card that I precut for the layouts.

Where there are elements overlapping the photo spaces I left them unglued so that I easily position photos before securing the elements later.

On these two pages I miscut the DSP but I was able to make some basic adjustments to still get a great result.

The page of stickers makes decorating each layout quick and easy to embellish.

Using the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder on elements of the layouts added some great additional texture.

After finishing the 6 layouts, from the workshop kit, I went on to create an extra layout using some of theleftover papers from the kit.

I also used the new Party Alphabet Dies and the Party Banner Dies.

It was fun to use strips of the leftover DSP, in varying widths, to create the background for the photo spaces and thepage title.

These scrapbook layouts were great to create.

I’m looking forward to the upcoming Virtual Album Retreat where I will be able to create 12 double page layouts , one for each month of the year.

On Wednesday, I will share more details about this event with you.

Tomorrow I have some cards to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
