More Gorgeous Than Ever

How gorgeous is this sentiment from The Project Bin's Born Yesterday stamp set.    The Reverse Confetti sketch of the month was a perfect fit for the challenge.    I had fun making a girly flower birthday card.    So pretty in shades of pink.

Here's a tip for cutting out the circle in the sentiment.   Punch a 1 3/4" Circle punch and then place it on top of the circular part of the sentiment and use it as a guide to cut out the sentiment.

Stamp Sets:   Born Yesterday by The Project Bin
Ink:  Raspberry Ripple
Paper:   Blush Blossom, Designer Series Paper
Accessories:   Pink Pirouette Ribbon and Button, Baker's Twine and Enamel Dots from a local craft store

You're Beautiful

How much do you love #bff stamp set by The Project Bin.    Love all the beautiful sentiments.    There was a quote I read today, that got me thinking.     The quote was And if I asked you to name all the things that you love, how long would it take for you to name yourself.    There is so much negativity in the world including with ourselves.    We need to take the time out and build people up as well as ourselves.

Here is one from June that I absolutely love.   Love all the details in this beautiful card.

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous

Did Someone Say Sailing

I love the Reverse Confetti sketch of the month.    The circles and tabs totally inspired me to create this nautical theme page with some of the amazing nautical stamp sets that I have recently have gotten.

Being we are not really a sailing family, you will not see a lot of boating pictures, but I was really happy to find this great picture in my photo stash of my niece and nephew on a row boat!!

So it is not really sailing, but it is on the water!

Love Summer Fun

I can't tell you how happy I am that The Project Bin has come out with a Summer Fun stamp set.   It has completely inspired me to scrapbook.   I am the ultimate beach girl.  So it is no surprise that I have a collection of scrapbook paper and accents just waiting to be used for scrapbooking my memories.  I just haven't made the time to scrapbook lately.   There is always something that needs to be done that takes priority.

Thank you The Project Bin for giving me an opportunity to pull out my beach photos and get scrappin'.

First I create a card with the great sentiment Life is better in flip flops.    Isn't it?    Just slip flip flops on you are on your way.     Love the bright color scheme.    It just makes me smile.   Thank you As You See It for the sketch challenge and thank you for moving to a two week sketch challenge.   That makes me so happy!!!     I have a feeling that you may see this card end up being a project life card and end up on scrapbook page in the future!

The second project I created with the Summer Fun stamp set from the Project Bin is the Girls just want have sun page.   I decided to dedicate to my best friend's daughter.    She is graduating this year.   I can't believe this amazing girl is now a young lady who is now going to be moving on and experiencing new adventures on her own now.   I can still remember taking her and her brothers to the beach.  Each bringing their little sand buckets to the beach.   I loved my LBI beach summers with these kids and now it makes me a little sad to know that they are coming to an end.   Love you Gianna!    

The Summer Fun collection is a perfect way start the Memorial Day weekend.    Hope the weather holds out and everyone can find some time to get to the water or at the least slip on their flip flops!   Happy Memorial Day!

Vitamin Sea

I just want to say thank you to The Project Bin.   I absolutely love the Summer Fun stamp set.   It totally inspired me to scrapbook!!!  It's been a while since I scrapbooked and I forgot how much I enjoy it.  

Here are pictures of my beach family.    My best friend and her amazing kids.   The kids were so little in these pictures!  

I started with making a card with the Vitamin Sea sentiment and ended up with a homemade Project Life card.    How great is the sentiment We all need a little Vitamin Sea.    I have to say this is probably the most photos I have put on a page in a long time.

Thank you Project Bin, The Global Design Project and Sugar Sketch for the inspiration for the scrapbook page.

Gold Sails

I don't know where I saw the nautical soft sky and gold nautical image.   Maybe it was on Facebook or on Pinterest.   But once I saw the colors and the theme together, I couldn't get it out of my head.   The beautiful Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper was a perfect fit for the soft background for the card I was looking to achieve.

I decided to use the  Anchors Away stamp set from The Project Bin for the project.  I have to say I love the way the card came out.

Ingredients to make the card:

Ink:   Versamark

Calamity Jane

Here is the newest stamp set from The Project Bin called Cowgirl Up!    There are so many great cowgirl sentiments.    Love the sentiment by Calamity Jane, I figure if a girl wants to be a legend, she should just go ahead and be one!   Love it!  

What I love most about this stamp set is the fact I can use up some of my retired Outlaw designer series paper.   I am big country music fan so when this great designer series paper was released, I bought two paper packs.      I bought it to create scrapbook pages   While I made a few pages, there are plenty of memories I want to capture.  

So I am happy that there is a stamp set that now I can use that is perfect for this designer series paper.  

This month's Sugar Sketch Challenge is the perfect sketch to showcase the Calamity Jane sentiment!     Instead of a circle, I decided to round up some twine to make it look like rope and it was a perfect embellishment for the card and take on the sketch.

Ingredients to make the card:
Stamp Sets:   Cowgirl, Up! by the Project Bin
Ink:  Early Espresso
Paper:   Outlaw Designer Series Paper, Early Espresso and Designer Series Paper from a local craft store
