I'm not usually a memory keeper... in fact, I tried scrapbooking a few times and felt that it just took too long and too much planning (who has time for that?). However, when I was told I would have to create something for my OnStage display board, I couldn't wait to challenge myself and see where it would take me! Okay, so that's a bit of a stretch... I actually panicked. Then I saw the cool Delightfully Detailed Memories & More Card Pack I received for my presentation. SCORE! I created two 12x12 "scrapbook" pages (that I ended up putting in frames) using the Delightfully Detailed Suite of products from the new Stampin' Up! 2018-2019 annual catalog.
When I saw the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper, I knew I had to use pictures from my Tia Tanya's 70th birthday, which we (my family and I) celebrated at the Huntington Library and Gardens. Such a beautiful place - I highly recommend you visiting if you're in Southern California! Anyway... I also used the Delightfully Detailed Memories & More Card Pack to add a few sentiments. I told you, I'm not a scrapbooker, but I love the way this turned out! AND IT'S OH SO EASY!!!
This memory page is my favorite! I could have actually made a 20x20 page with all the pictures, journaling, and Memories & More cards I had to work with, but I just didn't have a piece of cardstock (or frame) that big. LOL! This page was created to document the journey we had been on since adopting two shelter dogs who were "bonded." Yeah... not so much. It's been a trip, but it's all good now.
Thank you for stopping by and letting me share a few of my personal memories with you. I hope I've inspired you to create something to put your memories on paper.
Now hop on over to Tanya Rees's blog. I can't wait to see what sweet moments she's sharing with us!
Your dog page is adorable! We have 4! So I can totally relate! And that laser cut paper is beautiful, one of my favorites in the new catalog.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nina! How do you handle 4??? I can barely handle two. LOL!
DeleteDiana these pages are gorgeous. I love how you've used that laser cut paper. It was the first item I added to my new catalogue order but since its arrived I've struggled to find a way to use it. Thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tan! I am SO in love with that laser-cut paper that I almost didn't order anything else from the new catalog. Almost. ;)
DeleteGreat Layouts so gorgeous. I haven't used the laser cut paper yet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Teresa! You need to use it - it's SO versatile! :)
DeleteGorgeous pages and great use of that laser-cut paper - compliments the 'Garden party' so well
ReplyDeleteThank you Eimear!! I knew immediately I needed to put those pictures to that paper... perfect match. :)
DeleteLove the layouts, the dogs are so cute and what perfect paper for birthday and garden pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer! :)
DeleteLove the layouts! Where did the "days" in DOG days come from?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan! The "days" is cut from one of the cards in the Delightfully Detailed Memories and More card pack... it was originally "vacation days." :)
DeleteDiana, your pages are perfect, and I love the way you are displaying in a frame, I think why hide them away, and so much nicer than just a photo. The laser cut paper is a fantastic idea for a back ground, I have this paper but I am struggling to cut it up.Thank you for the inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Tracy! YES! Cut that paper!! You get four sheets per pack, so at least one sheet is meant to be cut and used. :)
