Peace & Joy - CCMC315

And it's another Christmas card! What can I say, I'm having fun playing with some of the new stuff. Actually, the only new thing on this card for this week's sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary is the DSP, and the sentiment stamp. I flipped the sketch on it's side, and love the look of it.

Memorable Moments for PPA214

I like to have some "year" birthday cards on hand since people tend to ask for them at craft shows, so when I saw the colors for this week's challenge at Pals Paper Arts, I figured I'd use them to make an 80th birthday card.

Traveling Ship

Here's my card for the sketch challenge this week at Try Stampin' On Tuesday. I won the Traveler set in a raffle at my upline's last week, it definitely wasn't on my must have list, but I have to admit, it's pretty cute. Plus it's gonna make great masculine cards. The map in the background was a perfect companion for the ship.

Housewarming Card - NAC101

Today's card is for the sketch challenge at Nacho Average Challenges. It's using some new sneak peek items from the upcoming Holiday catalog, but I wanted to make a house warming card rather than a Christmas card. Unfortunately, I took the stamp out that says Happy New Home, and then got distracted for a few minutes and went upstairs, and now that stamp is nowhere to be found! Those photopolymer stamps are sticky! By now it's probably stuck to a cat or something, hopefully it'll turn up tomorrow. Anyway, since the rest was done, I grabbed the celebrate stamp from the upcoming Good Greetings set instead. It still works I guess.

Scrapbooking: Easy as 1-2-3 With Project Life By Stampin' Up!

I'm not a scrapbooker. There, I said it. Just because I love paper crafting and card making doesn't mean I'm any good at creating a scrapbook page. I think in the past 6 years I've made 6 scrapbook layouts. And those took FOREVER.

Until now. Stampin' Up! recently launched a line of Project Life supplies. Basically you get a bunch of cards and plastic pages to stick them in, as well as your photos. Then there are coordinating embellishments to add in as well.

In May I got married, so I had ordered the Love Story set of cards and embellishments, and yesterday I sat down with a few photos and the kit to try it out. This page took me maybe 15 minutes, tops.

Super easy. The hardest part was choosing which of the pretty cards to use first!

Now I need to get more photos printed so I can do some more, since it was so easy! I'm sure you'll be seeing more Project Life blog posts from me soon!

Here's a link to the current Project Life by Stampin' Up! collections that you can order. Contact me if you're interested in trying out this fun new product!

Christmas Bliss for AW22

Today I decided to use a new Christmas set that is now available called Christmas Bliss for my card for the sketch challenge at Around the World Stampin' Up! Challenges.
