Scrapbook Pages
May is National Scrapbooking Month, and I have set myself a goal to make 31 scrapbook pages, one for each day of the month. I don't know about you, but I'm behind on my scrapbooking, so I thought a little self-challenge would be good for me and help me get back on track. I usually share something related to scrapbooking, so here is my share for the day.
My scrapbooking style is quick and easy scrapbook pages most of the time. Quick and easy does not mean boring! The fantastic supplies I get from Stampin' Up! means there is always something fresh and new AND easy to use. Here are some pages from a mini book I am creating of my granddaughter Olivia. It's a 6 x 6 book which makes it very easy to carry, put in my purse (read Proud Gramma showing off!), and even to store since it doesn't take up much space. With the 6 x 6 size, it's also a snap to make.
For this mini scrapbook album, I'm using the Nursery Suite Quick Accents pack of heavyweight self-adhesive die cuts. These are not stickers! They have the ease of peeling and sticking, but they have much more weight, heft, texture and style than stickers. AND they come in a coordinated set:)
Here's a pic of the quick accents. When you purchase them, you get one 12 x 12 page of each of the designs. That is 19 feet of border accents and over 50 die cuts that can be layered or used alone! You get all of these COORDINATED design accents without spending hours, or even minutes, poring over aisles at the scrapbook store trying and trying to find images that coordinate. Click here to purchase Nursery Suite quick accents (just $8.95!) from my 24/7 online store.
Happy Mothers’ Day!
On this very special day when we honor our mothers, I bring you Mother's Day greetings! In addition to honoring our own moms, many of us honor other special women in our lives: our grown daughters who are moms, women who are like mothers to us, grandmothers, nieces, and the list goes on. Moms of any kind work tirelessly and deserve to be celebrated!
This is a simple card using embossed vellum card stock. It's double embossed, because it is dry embossed with the Big Shot (Elegant Bouquet embossing folder) and also heat embossed using the brand new Melon Mambo Embossing Powder (available in the Summer Mini Catalog).
This is the Mother's Day card I'm giving to my daughter today along with a little gift. It's fresh and bright and reminds me of my Tiffany:) My kids are doing all the cooking for our usual family Sunday lunch. I have good cooks in my family, so it promises to be a real treat! Here's todays' menu:
- Quiche-not sure which kind, but my chef son (Tim) makes killer quiche, so the surprise is sure to delight:) Actually, he sent me photos earlier this evening of his creations and they look marvelous!
- Strawberries Romanoff-from Alex
- Marinated Vegetable Salad-also from Alex
- Coconut Pound Cake-from Tiffany
I hope you are getting a little time to put your feet up, do some web surfing, and enjoy your rest. As great as Mother's Day is, it's back to work tomorrow, cooking, cleaning, mending, loving, etc., etc. So enjoy it while it lasts!
