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.

TWO FOR ONE WEDNESDAY

Today I have two projects to share with you because I had to work on some web hosting issues yesterday.

The first project features measuring as the key technique – simple I know. My tip is to use your grid paper to map out your layout.

The card also features the Weekend Adventure Scrapbooking Workshop Kit products.

I added a Basic White panel to the Cajun Craze card base.

Then I cut six 1 1/2″x 1 1/2″ Cajun Craze squares and six 1″x 1″ checkered Designer Series Paper squares. After adhering them together I positioned them on the card front.

I added three of the printed and precut elements, from the kit, to the card. They were all popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The bottom tag had lengths of the White Baker’s Twine looped through the hole and trimmed.

The card insert and back of the envelope had more of the DSP adhered to them.

Finally, I added some black dots from the Neutral Matte Dots to embellish the card front.

The second project today is another simple card using just the products from the kit.

This card features paper tearing as the key technique. The tip for paper tearing is to hold the paper firmly and tear the paper slowly toward you – this will reveal the white centre of the paper or card you are using.

I looped the White Baker’s Twine around my fingers several times before seucirng it to the base of the scalloped element.

Tomorrow I have a 3D card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
