Easter Blessings!

Hello, friends!

Happy Easter to you all!

I'm scheduling this post for Good Friday!

Our celebrations will all be very different this year, won't they?

Yet we still have so very much to be grateful for!

I hope to be busy filling my day with good things.

We can attend an Easter Church Service online,

where we can focus on the truth of Easter.

Then we'll enjoy some delicious food...followed by an isolated walk.

We will also share phone calls with family! :o)

What will you be doing to bring JOY to your day?

I've been saving these cards to share today.

They were both published in the Spring 2020 Issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine.

Both of these cards are created with a lovely stamp set by The Project Bin.

It's called Spring Zen and you can find it HERE.

Other Materials Used:

Recollections - Cardstock;

Memento - Tuxedo Black Ink;

Spectrum Noir Markers;

ScraPerfect - Best Glue Ever;

Offray Ribbon;

Unknown Sequins.

May you all enjoy a Very Blessed Easter! :o)

A Short Happy News Post!

Hello, friends!

I just wanted to pop in and share a short "Happy News" post.

I have discovered that I have to be careful with my wording of these posts.

If I use certain words in these blog posts, it seems to attract a rather undesirable audience! 

Isn't that crazy? lol

Have you seen the fabulous 2019 Winter Issue of my favorite?

Here's the one I'm talking about:

I'm thrilled to have two cards included in this issue.

Both feature fun stamps from The Project Bin.

For all the details, pick up a copy of your own at your favorite news stand! 

Thanks for stopping in!

Back to my regular schedule tomorrow! :o)

You'll find these stamps, along with many more, over at The Project Bin.

You'll also find lots of fabulous fun at Creative Scrapbooker!

I've left lots of room for photos and and journaling tags.

As with the previous pages, 

I used the stamps that worked well with the papers on the pages.

The ribbon is open to slip a tag behind.

Apparently I forgot to take a photo of the back page.

It's a pretty blue patterned paper.

The Project Bin - Woo to the Hoo Mini Album

Happy Wednesday, my friends!

Today I'm back with another project for The Project Bin! 

It's been a while since I've made a new mini album. 
As soon as I received the New Leaf Stamp Set from The Project Bin,
I was reminded of this sweet little owl mini that I had in my stash.
I pulled it out and got busy!
I also added the Autumn's Calling Stamp Set,
and used these two sets for all the stamping.

I'm sharing the first half this week, 
and the second half in my next post, two weeks from now.

This is the front cover.
I left it uncovered but I did spray it with Glimmer Mist.
It shimmers beautifully!
I added paper eyes and beak, and a ribbon bow.
I added some stamped leaves. 
Finally, I added some tags with the stamped title.
Isn't it fun?

The album isn't finished yet.

I'll be adding photos, and the usual tags and extra bits.

The sweet little leaves stamp so crisply.

The owl sitting on the branch is just too cute!

The papers work beautifully with the wonderful sentiments in these sets. 

Other Materials Used:

Unknown Chipboard Owl Mini Album

Papers: Craft Smith - Happy Fall Paper Pad; 

Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black,
