Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You /

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!

Flowering Zinnias Happy Birthday!

Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday, Online Exclusives /

One of my favorite things is celebrating birthdays and my card today was the birthday card that I gave my niece, Shelby, yesterday on her 31st birthday. She is an elementary teacher at my parish’s school and she is doing an amazing job. I just had to celebrate her with these beautiful paper flowers. Of course real flowers would have been better but if you know me then you know I don’t have a green thumb. I decided on the next best thing and surprised her with a birthday cupcake from Jilly’s cupcakes.

Here is the card I created for her.

This card was so super simple. I just started with a Berry Burst card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series paper on the card front and stamped the greeting with Memento Black ink directly onto the DSP. The greeting is from Sentimental Park and yes, that will be carrying over to the new catalog.

For the inside I attached a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White and stamped the You from Sentimental Park and the second greeting from Notes of Nature. Sorry Notes of Nature is retiring but you still have a few more days to add that to your stamping stash before it is retired for good! I hope you have a fantastic Friday! Happy Stamping!

Ice Cream Swirl Bundle-Make It Monday #156

Happy Birthday, Just Because Cards, Make it Monday Videos / /

As a kid living in Springfield, Illinois, I loved summers and my heart always skipped a beat whenever I heard the ice cream truck. Now Mom and Dad did not give us money every time, but when they did, it was such a treat. Now that the weather is getting warmer I thought if might be time for some ice cream.

Click here or the photo below to access Make It Monday #156 Ice Cream Swirl Bundle

https://youtu.be/-ITQ3aUNDlM

Although the ice cream truck does not come around as often as it did when I was a kid, it does make an appearance in my neighborhood from time to time. I wonder if it still rolls around regularly in my old neighborhood in Illinois. It is hard to say because times are changing and kids just don’t go outside much any more.
