I am easing very nicely into my new weekly schedule of blog posts. As I mentioned on Saturday, I have done very little scrapbooking in the last 10 to 15 years. I have so many printed photos that need scrapbooking attention and possibility twice as many more yet to be printed and scrapped. At least now I know that I am restarting this part of my crafting life.
Today, I decided to share a recent event with a simple 8″x 6″ Memories & More layout.
This week, I am featuring the Sweet Talk Suite – it will be available to my customers from January 4th.
I used two designs from the Sweet Talk 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper for this page. The Real Red elements were perfect to coordinate with the blue clothing Rob and I were wearing. My ‘birthday suit’ was one of my first ‘gifts to me’ for this milestone birthday.
The occasion was my 60th birthday celebration we enjoyed while we were holidaying in Noosa. I was delighted that my daughters, sister and her family, and brother joined me. A very dear friend was also able to be with us.
I won’t share any photos of the food in this post – but, if you can ever eat at Rickys in Noosa it is AMAZING!
I must admit that I love being able to use the Playful Alphabet Dies and Adhesive Sheets in my paper crafting.
For my journalling, I used the tag die from the Sweet Heart Dies set to cut the two pieces that I have written my thoughts.
The Real Red Faux Linen Ribon is so gorgeous and soft to work with. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to ensure this memory had just the right amount of bling.
Although Stampin’ Up! © does not have 12″x 12″ albums and pockets in its inventory anymore, the 6″x 8″ album and photo pocket pages are a very useful alternative.
This page was a quick and easy layout and I liked the way the Sweet Talk DSP coordinated so well. The hearts were a perfect way to show the love that I felt on my birthday.
I mentioned earlier that I was doing a little bit of ‘happy birthday to me’ shopping. I also bought an awesome Bluetooth Selphy Square Printer – I added the App to my phone and sent the photos – they were printed in a jiffy! And, they look just like mini Polaroid prints. Look at me – old bird, new tricks.
I am definitely looking forward to more Memories on Monday scrapbooking and sharing them with you.
Tomorrow is Technique Tuesday – what do I have planned?
Until next time, happy stamping.
