National Scrapbook Day

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

What an incredible thing to celebrate, a hobby that not only preserves life's memories, but also reduces stress! And I know I could use more de-stressing!

This month, as a Brand Ambassador for Tombow, I was completely spoiled with a large package of goodies from a couple different craft brands. But I pulled out a few of them to work with on my NSD project.

Once again, Tombow knocks it out of the park with an easy to use adhesive! The Mono Permanent Adhesive tool fits perfectly in my hand, glides on easily and has a handy little plastic flap that closes over the strip, so it doesn't get dirty or stick to everything in sight!

I loved this Simple Stories Carpe The Heck Out Of This Diem saying from their Carpe Diem Collection Kit. I thought I would make it stand out a little more, and colored it with the Tombow Irojiten Vivid Colored Pencils.

Here is my Carpe Diem Layout:

On this layout I also used items from the Fancy Pants Attwell Collection, they blended perfectly with everything I picked out for it!

How are you celebrating National Scrapbook Day?

Spooky Delight Layout

Are you ready for Halloween?

Get your hands on this adorable Spooky Delight Stack from DCWV, and be ready to create some spooky crafts.

Combine the great prints of this stack with the bright purple page from the DCWV Jewel Tones Papers, they match perfectly!

Here is my Spooky Delight Layout.

Wedding Card

One of my favorite new DCWV Stacks, is the Happy Day Stack. Every page is incredible. I love the wood prints, the gold accents and the tags and sayings.

It was perfect for a wedding card I needed to make!

I loved the page of cute little frames. So I cut a couple out, and crafted a tux and wedding dress in each of them. I used a black woven and a white glitter sheet from the Jet Black Stack for those.

Of course I had to add some fun Blue Moon Beads! I used a gold flower charm and a couple teardrop gold shimmer beads.

Threw on some large gold sequins and some gold rhinestones for some shine.

On the inside, I cut out a portion of this amazing doily page! Stamped 'congrats' on the side and messed it a bit with some inked edges. This piece is perfect, as I plan to write the sentiment in the large doily area.

I hope you enjoyed this project and are inspired to create your own!
