Miss Pinks Craft Spot

I've had a super relaxing Long Weekend, taking a bit of time to give me some TLC after a week of ups and downs. I ventured into the craft studio this afternoon and created a scrapbook page using the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper. Once I decided on which floral print to use, it was time to add coordinating colours with a couple of Hand Penned Memories & More cards ("simple pleasures and the hand drawn lines for writing about the image) From here, I added layers & shapes coordinating colours, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Mint Macaron & Misty Moonlight. I used a variety of die cuts, Scalloped Contours, Basic Borders. Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month.  I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product.  I truly appreciate your support, it inspires me to keep crafting and helps to keep my blog and YouTube channel running.

Have you every tried Memory Keeping or Scrapbooking? It is something that I always intend to do, but dont' get there as often as I would like, but it is so worth it. Today I pulled together a Scrapbook page layout, all that's left to do is add the photo and some journaling. For my base I've used a design for the new Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper, isn't it gorgeous!!! Next I choose a card from the Memories & More Card Pack - I decided to highlight Pale Papaya.  From here, I added layers & shapes coordinating colours, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Mint Macaron & Pool Party. I used a variety of die cuts, Scalloped Contours, Basic Borders (both new in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue), Stitched Rectangles and some scraps. Now I'm off to find a photo, while I'm doing that be sure to continue through the blog hop for more Memory Keeping ideas, you are currently visiting Sue Vine - MissPinksCraftSpot: Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing m

Welcome this this month's Stampin Friends Blog Hop, it's a summer theme - my friends in the northern hemisphere are enjoying the sun, but I'm rugged up in my "trackie and Uggs" sat in front of a heater - the theme made we wish for warmer weather, and that got me thinking of the beach.....  Now there was no way I was going to the beach when it was 10 degrees, so I started looking at holiday photos, and found a beautiful day at Port Norlunga, I decided to make a 12 x 12 for a photo frame, and later I can transfer it to my scrapbook pages. My background is created using 3 of the designs from the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper , I added Burlap Ribbon and Linen Thread for a beachy rustic feel. I printed the memory from the day on vellum and cut into a Banner. I carried the Banner theme into my card project using the scraps of the DSP, waste not, want not I say! And see the top of the card, that texture is created with the

I did it, and I couldn't be happier! Way back when I was preparing for OnStage in November I wanted to make a scrapbook page, well, time got the better of me and it didn't happen, but last night I came across the photos I had chosen, so today I've finally made the Scrapbook page, YAY ME! I've used half a sheet of the gorgeous  Sweet Soirée Specialty Designer Series Paper and pre cut elements from the  Sweet Soirée Embellishment Kit - both of these items are retiring on May 31st so be quick before they are gone, and as an added bonus the DSP is also discounted, woot happy days! I used sentiments from Eastern Beauty , and a May Flower Framelit Die to add to the floral arrangement - I just love how easy it is to mix and match Stampin' Up! items. The  Decorative Ribbon Border Punch was also a perfect accompaniment, and lastly a strip of Velvet Ribbon (available June 1st). Here's hoping to this being the first of many more 12 x 1
