Splendor in the Park

This past Sunday our church had a picnic in the park. I had fun going around taking pictures of Lexi and her friends. While taking the pictures, I could visualise a scrapbook page and knew just what paper pack I was going to use. In fact, one of the lady's in my church said to me "It looks like a scrapbook page." Funny how she read my mind. After the picnic was over, I had Bill drop my off at a store where I could print my pictures while he ran some errands. Once I got home, I got out the Splendor paper pack with the matching Stickese and went to work making this layout. It was so fast, because the pictures of the layouts are on the back of the Stickese. To see a picture in color of the layouts, all that I had to do was go to Closetomyheart.com and on the front page is an area called "Ideas and Inspiration." When you click on it you see "make it from your heart gallery" and there are the layouts in full color. Close to my Heart makes scrapbooking Faster, Simpler and Easier.

Splendor Workshop on the Go

These are the layouts that we will be making at my next scrapbook workshop using the Splendor Workshop on the Go. I modified the first layout. The right page used 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 squares. I made mine using 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 squares to fit larger photos. The nice thing about these workshops is that they keep me up-to-date on my scrapbooking.

We will be making 5 cards, but I can't I can't finish the next two until my stamps come in on Monday. Can't wait.

Hello Friend

I couldn't wait to get home from work today and play with my new stamps. I was so good, though, and went to the gym first. I had fun playing with this new stamp from CTMH called "Hot Diggity". This set has so many cute images on it. I want to try the frog next and then that cute little snail. The paper that I used is our new "Splendor" paper pack. The colors in this pack are Goldrush, Topiary and Moonstruck and Heavenly Blue. For the cute little bird, I stamped him twice in Goldrush ink. Then I cut the body out of one of the images and attached it with a pop dot to the other. I did this to give some dimension to him. For my sketch I used this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch #140
