#164 Fields In Bloom-Make It Monday Video

Leave a Comment / Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You / June 24, 2024

Happy Monday….Did you know that modern scrapbooking first emerged in 1800 when photography was invented. Scrapbooking is still popular today because it is all about expressing one’s thoughts, feelings and sentiments. It’s about preservation of memories and special moments, and recording family stories. Scrapbooks were cherished and kept by families for many years. Welcome to our Close to My Heart Friends!

Team Card Swap-Favorite Things Friday!

Leave a Comment / Favorite Things Friday / June 14, 2024

Getting together with friends to stamp is always a highlight of my month but sometimes when stamping friends live far away the next best thing is a card swap. Last month my upline for Stampin’ Up! organized a virtual card swap. We all created 10 cards and mailed them to him and he sorted through all the creations and each team member then received 10 cards in the mail.

Today I thought I would share with you a few cards that I received. I am sure you will be as amazed as I was to see the talent in this group. There was not a theme to our swap but each card created features something from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.

Next week I hope to share a few more cards from some of my team members. I hope these cards inspire you to create something beautiful to share. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!

#161 Make It Monday-You are Beautiful!

Leave a Comment / Just Because Cards, Make it Monday Videos, Thinking of You / June 3, 2024

Remember when we were kids and we dreaded Mondays? Well not anymore because each Monday I get to share a new video with you and hopefully provide a little inspiration for your crafting project. Today I am sharing three cards that I created with the new You Are Beautiful stamp set. And for my third card I also used the new Grateful Blessings set. I know my craft room is my happy place, so let’s get on with it!

I usually don’t go for the Poppy Parade but I guess this week I just need a little something bright in my Monday. I love the bright and cheery look of the Lemon Lime Twist with the Poppy Parade. And don’t you think the You are Beautiful, the Grateful Blessings and the new Spotlight on Nature sets compliment each other nicely?
