Walking in the Winter Wonderland

 Margaret here guest designing for the Scrapbook Nerds & Friends over on Facebook! 

To get my inspiration started I used a #TGIFC299 card inspiration for this week - which is use a background!

For my background I chose a retired embossing folder Happy Hearts from Stampin' Up! and Wink of Stella to give the background a subtle pop of glitter and shine!

 Just love Wink of Stella - subtle but stunning!

 

Than for my accent papers I chose the Winter Wonderland 6x6 paper pack from Doodlebug Design Inc! This paper stack is SO CUTE and great for winter birthdays and Valentines alike!

I punched out the heart from the paper with my Dual Hearts punch and created a banner with the triple banner punch from Stampin' Up!

For my sentiment I stamped the Love U from Altenew set called Hug Me.

I also added some accent hearts from the Winter Wonderland Icon Stickers from Doodlebug Design Inc. Like how adorable are these stickers??? I have some more plans in mind for upcoming cards with the adorable Winter Wonderland line!

Happy Stampin'

Scrapbook Nerd Sketch Challenge

Having fun this week playing along with the Scrapbook Nerd & Friends Sketch challenge by the lovely Milena!

I just can not get enough of the Picket Fences BFF My Tribe stamp set! So many uses for this stamp set ... I think they would be perfect for a bride to be to use to make as their 'Please join by bride tribe' invites for bridesmaids!

I paired it with leftover scraps from the lovely Vicki Boutin Wildflower & Honey patterned paper! I love these grid papers because they are prefect for both pocket scrapbooking AND quick card making!

 I just love how it came together. I added the sentiment 'We are Better Together' from the Altenew Sentiment set Better Together. I am kicking myself for being a lazy stamper and not pulling out my stamperatus to stamp the sentiment because I did not get the crisp stamped sentiment that I wanted in my first try nor my second flip it over and try again so had to choose the best of the two rather than waste paper ... alas one of the ways you know it is hand made is those little imperfections!

Happy Stampin'

Better Together Sketch Challenge

Hello all - here today guest designing for the Scrapbook Nerds .... if you have not already come on over and join us on Facebook for some fun online crops and layout tags and of course contests for FREE STUFF from the amazing Joy!

I am using the Sunday Stamp's Sketch for inspiration! 

Using their sketch as inspiration for my card base and layering of paper I chose to play with the Altenew Sentiment set Better Together and pairing it with the BFF My Tribe stamp set from Picket Fences0

I just love how these two stamp sets compliment each other! I know I am going to have lots of fun coloring the My Tribe stamp set with my Stampin' Blends markers! I think I might have to get my Zentangle pattern books out to create some funky clothing options!

 Happy Stampin'
