Scrapbook Global Blog Hop & Throwback Thursday

Welcome to the Scrapbook Global Blog Hop - this month we are playing with our favourite product from the Annual Catalog. I have chosen to play with the Turtle-y Awesome Suite because it’s just so adorable and versatile for many occasions.

As today’s hop is occurring on a Throwback Thursday post day I am also playing with my retired Six Sided Sampler and Hexagon Punch. The colour palette in the Turtle-y Cute DSP is gorgeous and I have chosen the Balmy Blue, Green Garden and Daffodil Delight with a pop of Flirty Flamingo. 

For my 12x12 page I was inspired to play along with Scrapbook & Cards Today’s October Sketch. I loved all the squares in this inspiration however opted to use hexagons because of the hexagons in the Turtle-y Awesome Suite other than that I followed the sketch as close as possible. I swapped out the flower embellishments for the two adorable Turtles. I’ve left room for 3 photos in the 3x2 photo mats as I tend to do hidden journaling cards so that the photos can tell most of the story.

For my Pocket Page I carried over the hexagons and Six Sided Sampler stamp set and a Turtle stamped and cut out and left room for 4 photos.

Want to say thank you to our blog hop host Sharon Dalton for organizing - please make sure to go to her blog and show her some love.

Memories & More Monday’s

Welcome to another edition of Memories & More Monday! Today I have both a layout and two cards to share.

Playing along over at Colour INKspiration challenges colour challenge #197. I played with Misty Moonlight, Secret Sea and Crumb Cake.

I had seen the layout sketch on Pinterest and wanted to recreate it as a great way to showcase the gorgeous paper in the Peaceful Garden suite. Thank you to the original creator of the sketch. Unfortunately the pin I had found just went to Google and there’s no watermark on the sketch to tie back to the creator. 

I am going to use this layout as the first page for my scrapbook showcase for an upcoming Inspire, Create, Connect crop the team is putting on in a few weeks.

All the squares in the sketch inspired me to create card designs with the squares as well. I’ve seen these layouts in other colours and themes and love them in the Peaceful Garden suite as well. 

Happy Stampin’
