Wildlife Creation

Today over at SSINKspiration we are showing you some of our creations using Stampin' Up!'s wildlife products.  

I love our Project Life products for babies!  The Hello Baby Boy Card Collection just happens to have a few wildlife creatures featured in it!

Product Focus: Tag Topper Punches

Today over at SSINKspiration we are focusing on Tag Topper Punches.  These punches are great for creating elements of card or scrapbook pages, as well as create a simple tag for a Holiday Gift.

I created a cute little Christmas tag...

I used Tip Top Taupe cardstock and the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Stamp Set.

I love Red and Green together for Christmas projects and I'm so excited about Cucumber Crush this holiday season!  Today I paired it with Cherry Cobbler and I think it looks GREAT!  What do you think!

It's time for another Project Life by Stampin' Up! Challenge with the Can You Case It? Team!

Here is my layout...Be sure to click if you want to enlarge and view details. 

My Everyday Adventure card kit is getting kinda low on cards to journal on because I love it so much and have used it for a long time!  So this week, I used the Project Life Grid Cards and the Everyday Adventure Accessory Pack to create my own cute cards!

Here they are...

I used a 4x6 title card and the Project Life Framelits to create my labels for the dates.  I love those Framelits and need to use them more!

Both of these cards started as a blank grid card and stickers from the Accessory Pack were added to make them CUTE!

I love this laser-cut arrow card!  It's so much fun!  

Up close of some of my other cards this week.

I love the look of washi tape on the bottom edge of the cards!  There are quite a few stickers that you can tear one edge of to create that washi look!

Friday Favorites

It's Friday Favorites time over at SSINKspiration today!  One of my favorites is the Project Life by Stampin' Up! Playground Card Collection...

#135300  $15.95

And here is my layout...

I had to add in a 6x8 page protector in there because I had a picture that was vertical and I didn't have a spot for it to be BIG (like the first day of Kindergarten demands)!

Here is what is one the back of my 6x8 page.

Here are a few drawings from my little Kindergarten student!

And here is the remainder of the week!

Here are a few of my favorite things about this layout...

I messed up when stamping the dates originally.  So I just stamped them on some cardstock and used my 3/4" Circle punch to pop them out!  FIXED!!

I created a little piece of 3"x4" notebook paper to journal on with the school page.  I just used my hole punches and some paper snips.  I love this technique!

This Snapshot Single Stamp is one of my favorites from the catalog.  It is perfect for any Project Life album!  It's all about capturing memories and that is what cameras help us do!  :)

Also if you have school age children here is what I have done for the past 2 years of school (Preschool and now Kindergarten)...

First Day picture!

First Day Interview.

This is why I love documenting life!  See how much my kiddos grew in just one year1  WOW!!
