Monthly Memories Swan Lake Kit

Friday night is the night! My Stampin' Ladies are coming over for our monthly scrapbooking night and we are making these beautiful Swan Lake pages. We will eat yummy things, scrap, chat, and have a fabulous night out - it's my favorite night every month!

Our kit this month will make 6 pages and 8 cards. Everything you need to make the pictured projects is included (except the blank card bases). These kits are an amazing deal!

You can also swap out any of my page or card designs for the original CTMH designs made for this kit. So you've got 6 double page spreads to choose from to coordinate with your personal family memories.

I cannot wait to get my kiddos Thanksgiving gratitude lists scrapped onto this page. 

I used the Get Better stamp set for my version of the included card designs instead of the Thankful for You set (with matching die cuts!) that CTMH chose. There are enough card pieces cut in the kit for you to make all 8 cards if that floats your boat. Or you can easily substitute your own favorite stamp set!

You can download the CTMH version on this kit HERE for free! Or you can place your kit order here and I will email you my full color instructions for my version of these projects complete with cutting guides, lots of pictures, and step by step instructions. If you are local to me, your kit purchase scores you an invite to our monthly crop night, where we create our kits together. Dinner is included, just bring your kit and favorite adhesive to join in the fun! 

You can also complete these kits at my monthly crop day (which is November 27th this month) or as a To Go Kit wherever you like to crop. If you are planning to hang with us, I want to be sure to have enough space and dinner for all...

So PLEASE RSVP to reserve your spot at the crop!

Swan Lake With Love Card

As I sat down to make a new card for this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, I really wanted to make a bunch of new flowers and a fabulously lumpy 3-D card. Then I pondered mailing the card...

...aaaaand I decided for those flowers in the sketch I really needed to break out my new Swan Lake papers. and do some fussy cutting instead. There are so many cute florals tucked into this paper suite and I love the contrast of the brighter colors against the black backgrounds.

I added some stamped pieces from Season of Magic, which is probably supposed to be a Christmas stamp set, but hey, man, it's my card and I'll stamp what I want to. I love the sketchy look of the teensy florals and leaves in that set. I handcut the larger leaves from one of the Swan Lake patterns before tucking them under that big poppy sunflower. Then I topped the sunflower and most of the leaves with some Shimmer Pen action.  It picked up the lights funny in the pictures, but I just love a subtle shimmery... well, anything, really. Bring on the shimmer!

I hope you'll pop over to Atlantic Hearts and play along this week! I'm also linking up to the Heart 2 Heart Challenge National Stamping Month linky, celebrating all things stamp. #CREATEKINDNESS all month long!
