{ Traci Reed Designs - Design Team }

 I have neglected this little blog of  mine that I started in January 2007. That is almost 14 years ago. I have been on numerous design teams, and participated in many challenges over that time. Two weeks ago I joined Traci Reed Designs Design Team. I will be creating hybrid projects using all her digital collections. I will still create all the fun things that I love, just not posting as often on the blog. Majority of my creations are on Instagram. Since going back to work full time there aren't enough hours in the day for all the things I would like to do.  

I have been creating in my Traveler's Notebook for the past few years and I really like the smaller size. Here are some of the layouts I created using Seek Gratitude collection. 

One for the MemoryDex. I have a blog post about Gratitude challenge that you can check out where I made several different memorydex cards for my Memorydex spinner. 

This one I created using All The Thanks For This collection using Traveler's Notebook papers and printable stickers.

Traci Reed Designs is having a storewide sale through Tuesday at noon EST with code BF2020-40.

I hope you stick around. 

{ Traveler's Notebook storage holder }

 I have designed my own holder for Traveler's Notebooks. I have been subscribing to Studio Calico TN kits and this is my second year. I store TNs in each pouch that they come with, but that just became too much trouble to find and get out. I searched on line for a template of some sort and couldn't find anything. I created my own. I first made one on the right by cutting cardstock. Then, I drew my design is Silhouette Studio and cut out the pieces with my Cameo. I shared this photo on Instagram and got requests to share it. See below for file.

I cut a piece of patterned paper and wrapped it around the base of the one on the right. That required 2 pieces of 12" patterned paper and they overlap. For the one on the left I designed to cut a piece just for the front since that is the part you see. In addition, I have a square pice that fits on the bottom. I used it as a template and cut it out from a heavier piece of carboard to make it more sturdy.

I was able to fit a bunch, however, they are not all full yet. Once they become filled with photos and embellishments I can maybe get six  or eight in. I will see. Totally random width was chosen based on my own preference.

Have a great Monday!

{ Impression Obsession - Old Is New }

Hello and welcome to another Old is New blog post.

With such a huge collection of wonderful stamps from so many artists, sometimes the older stamps in the Impression Obsession catalog find their way out of the spotlight. We don't want them to be forgotten, so from now on you'll be seeing our team feature them regularly. We hope you're inspired!

Here is what I created.

I created a set of journaling cards using various stamps. One of the cards I used for my Traveler's Notebook page.

I started by stamping Chalk Treat Bag with different colors of ink. I stamped each tag with a round stamp from Journal Frames.

I stamped Lavender Bunch around the edge.

I added a little strip of patterned paper at the top of each tag and a piece of washi tape. The stamped and die cut flower are Bunch Of Blossoms with matching dies. I stamped each word with black ink and cut it out: Home, Family, Hello.

I hope you visit Impression Obsession blog and visit the Design Team to see what they created with old stamps.

Let me know if you have a favorite older stamp set.

Have a great Monday.
