Making Memories & More on Monday

Welcome to another edition of Making Memories & More on Monday. Today’s layout was inspire different by play along with Scrap A Sketch Autumn Challenge #5 over on Facebook.

have chosen to add the following elements from the choose 5 list: 2+ photos, 4 patterns of paper, Glitter using Wink of Stella, fussy cutting, leaves, banners, circles and metallics in my foil leaves.

I just cannot get enough of the Sunflower 3D embossing folder - just so many stunning ways to use it. Planning on adding some professional family photos from my in-laws 50th anniversary celebration to this layout. 

Happy Stampin’

Peaceful Garden Suite

I am just in love with this suite! The colour combo in the DSP is stunning, the sentiments are perfect for a variety of occasions and the dies with the doves and nesting labels! 

I tried to play along with the Global Design Project sketch challenge #510 but was late to post in the challenge but was still inspired by the circles.

I used the Peaceful on Earth stamp set with the Dotted Circle 3D embossing folder.

Inspired by the Festive Friday choose 3 word prompt challenge.  

I chose to use hues of blue with Stampin’ Up’ Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover inks for my stamping and blending edges of my circles, pretty Pearl embellishments and I loved the play on the theme of ‘sand’ in the list to use the sanding technique on my two toned embossed paper. My nail buffer comes in very handy for this technique!

Pleased with my end product and think it will make a great card for someone who’s heading off full circle on a new adventure! 

Lots of textures to enjoy! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stampin’

Case-ing Tuesday challenge

Playing along with the Case-bling Tuesday challenge over on Facebook.

They’ve shared the following card from the Annual Catalog for sketch #526 inspired by a card on page 79.

Also playing along with a couple other challenges to help guide my design.

The Festive Friday pick 3 from the list - Shades of Blue using Stampin’ Up! Misty Midnight and Cloud Cover, Pearl’s and Sanding technique.

CAS on Friday offered up a challenge to use Vellum - so have added some sprigs die cut with it for a nice clean and simple pop. Clean and Simple doesn’t fit the overall design though so I will likely need to try again. 🤣

In addition to my ink chocked choose to play along with the Peaceful Garden bundle and the Dotted Circle and Peaceful Greenery embossing folders and a circle punch all from Stampin’ Up!.

I think it came together nicely - lots of textures!
