Welcome to the Spring Blog Hop where we are trying to chase away the winter blues while sharing our springy projects!
Thinking of spring is hard after amount of snow we received Monday night and I'm looking forward to seeing the daffodils and tulips pop up in my front flower garden! The front flower garden was my inspiration for this card. It showcases the Beautiful Friendship stamp set and the In Good Taste designer series paper found in the Annual Catalogue. This evening I'm sharing how I created this card during a Facebook live and I'll be using Petal Pink instead of Highland Heather as shown above.

Pretty Cards and Paper Blog Hop - Ice Cream Corner
January 15, 2021
in Blog Hop, Designer Series Paper, Pretty Cards & Paper, scrapbooking
Welcome to January's Pretty Cards & Paper blog hop! The yummy looking Ice Cream Corner designer series paper is our focus this month. This DSP was perfect to scrap my dad's birthday.
His birthday was earlier this month and with everything we couldn't be together to celebrate. My family has a tradition of sundaes from DQ that we started a few years ago. Everyone gets to choose what they want and we get to celebrate. Once everyone had their sundaes we met on Teams to enjoy and hang out safely.

Hello and welcome to my blog and to the Curvy Celebrations blog hop!
My project is a 2 page spread for day 6 of my December Daily. This year I am using the 6"x "8 Basic Black album and the matching pocket pages. The main items used for other pages so far are from the Wonder of the Season suite. Since the colours in the Classic Christmas DSP has 2 colours that are in the Wonder of the Season suite they work well together!

Crop Kingston's September Pets Virtual Crop
September 26, 2020
in Crop Kingston, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, scrapbooking
A few weeks ago we held our September Playful Pets Virtual Crop! We used the Playful Pets designer series paper for all of our projects and I wanted to share one of my original layouts (the first picture) and my changed version (the second picture). My changed version uses the same pieces of cardstock, a little different sized designer series paper and more pictures. I have fun creating different layouts using the same cardstock during my live videos in our private Facebook group. This way everyone receives more ideas if what we originally designed doesn't fit your style or maybe the pictures you have!

Earlier this month was Crop Kingston's August Virtual Crop. We used the Forever Greenery designer series paper to create either 6 scrapbook pages or 8 cards. Today I'm sharing with you my original design that was included in the instructions and then an alternative layout I created live during the crop.
Palyful Pets - Hoover
July 25, 2020
in Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folder, scrapbooking
These 2 pictures are from December 2004. I found them while going through my 19+ year photo pile. The Playful Pets designer series paper was sitting on my desk waiting for me to create projects for Crop Kingston's September Virtual Crop. It was perfect to use on this layout! There are matching trinkets that I've ordered to add to this page. The Playful Pets Trinkets are hearts and bones little embellishments that I think will work really well with this page. I'm excited to add them to this layout and use them on the samples for the crop classes. If you are interested in our September crop registration will open within the next 2 weeks.

June Mini Crop Scrapbook Layout

in Crop Kingston, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Punches, scrapbooking, Stampin' Cut & Emboss
We held our first Mini Virtual Crop this past Saturday. We used the 2020-2022 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper and the Tasteful Textures bundle to create our projects. This layout was one of my designs. The pictures are of my husband from 2000 when we went camping with my family. I still need to figure out what I'm going to write for journaling (this is the hardest part of scrapbooking for me).

Scrapbook layout created as an additional inspiration project for our last Virtual Crop Kingston Crop using the Ornate Garden Suite. I was scrapbooking pictures from my Washington, DC trip when I was in Grade 9 (not going to figure out how long ago that was). Our next Virtual Crop will be on Saturday June 6th! Contact me to sign up.
Detailed Deer Pocket Page

in die cutting, Embossing Folder, Pocket Pages, scrapbooking
The Dashing Deer stamp set and matching dies were perfect for pictures of our little excursion to find some deer in a field nearby my parent's home. And the Best Dressed designer series paper is very versatile for many projects. It was the perfect match for the deer images and pictures of our excursion.

Global Stamping Friends - Twisted

in Blog Hop, card, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Embossing Folder, Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop, Punches, scrapbooking
Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends April Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Twisted - use a product in a different way than originally designed or create one project and then change it into another project!
I was stumped at first what I wanted to create! My creativity lately has been very low with our lives being changed by the COVID-19 virus. But last Saturday I helped run an online crop instead of an all-day crop we normally do and it sparked my crafting.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge
February 20, 2020
in Blog Hop, scrapbooking, Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop
Welcome to February's Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop. This month we have a great sketch for inspiration!
The hardest part for me with sketches is finding the right photo to use.
I went digging through my old photos to find this one of my family when we were camping somewhere. Haven't figured out what date (1988??) or where it was yet, so no
journaling. I love that I have a swim ring on and a visor!
Hoover Scrapbook Page with A Twist!

A single picture is hard for me to scrapbook sometimes! I enjoy creating pages with multiple photos. But this one photo of Hoover staring at me while I was sitting at my desk is a favourite of mine. It's one of 6 photos in a frame we have hung up to remember him.
