Happy Tuesday, friends! π
I spent a little time in my craft room this weekend, and I have to tell you... there is something so relaxing about the slow down the craft room brings after the extremely busy graduation month! I just put on a movie and created.
These sweet Lily of the Valley blooms have been keeping me company while I create, and I couldn't resist sharing another little sneak peek.
I know they're tiny flowers, but look at all that detail! The layers, the leaves, the soft blues... they're quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of this collection.
Are you a flower person?
A - Fresh flowers in a vase π·
B -Flowers in the garden πΌ
C -Or flowers on paper projects βοΈ
I'm definitely voting for all three. π

Can we talk about die cuts for a minute? π
One of my favorite things about a good bundle is when it works for more than just cards.
I've been creating with the Lily of the Valley Bundle lately, and I couldn't resist adding those beautiful flowers to a scrapbook page too.
Here's a little sneak peek. π
I love how much dimension the die cuts add. They create a focal point without taking up a lot of space, which means there's still plenty of room for photos and memories.
Now I'm curious...
When you buy a stamp and die bundle, do you usually think about:
βοΈ Cardmaking first
πΈ Scrapbooking first
π Both equally
I'm definitely a "how can I use it on a scrapbook page?" kind of girl. π

You know what I always seem to run out of? Birthday cards.....
It never fails. A birthday pops up on the calendar, and suddenly I'm digging through my card stash wondering where they all went.
So while I was creating with the Lily of the Valley Bundle, I made sure to add a few birthday designs to the mix.
Here's another little sneak peek. π
I love the soft blues on this one, and all those layered flowers add so much texture. The full card will have to wait for another day, but I couldn't resist sharing a close-up. Now tell me...
If you could only keep ONE type of card in your stash, what would it be?
π Birthday
π Thinking of You
π Thank You

Happy Monday, friends! π
With graduation season finally behind me, I carved out some time in my craft room this weekend... and let's just say the creativity was flowing. π
I've been playing with the new Lily of the Valley Bundle, and I couldn't wait to share a little sneak peek of what's coming.
Just look at those sweet little flowers and that gorgeous layered focal point! πΏπ
This is actually a fun fold card (and it's even more fun when you see it open π).
More projects are coming soon, but for now...
What catches your eye firstβthe flowers, the colors, or the fun fold? π

What happens when a card kit meets scrapbooking? π€
In my newest YouTube video, I'm sharing a sneak peek of my Lakeside Retreat Scrapbook Kitβand the fun part is that it all started with a Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin card kit!
You know I love stretching my supplies, and this project was such a fun challenge. Instead of making the cards as designed, I transformed the kit pieces into scrapbook layouts complete with custom Cricut titles and plenty of room for your favorite outdoor memories.
As always, this is a pre-cut scrapbook kit, which means I've already done the cutting for you. π
Just assemble the pages, add your photos, and enjoy the fun part of scrapbooking.
I'd love to know...
Have you ever used a card kit for something other than cards?

Tomorrow I'm sharing something fun...

I always enjoy stretching products beyond what they were originally intended to do, and this project might be one of my favorites yet.

I'm curious...
When you scrapbook summer memories, what do you find yourself needing MORE of?
π Lake and beach pages
π Camping pages
π£ Masculine pages
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Family vacation pages
I always find masculine-themed kits disappear the fastest around here. π

One of my favorite things about designing scrapbook kits?
The titles.
For Lakeside Retreat, I created custom titles like:
β¨ Easy
β¨ Sunshine
β¨ Season
They help tell the story before the photos are even added.
Sometimes a single word can instantly bring you back to a memory.
What's one word that describes your favorite summer memory?
