#DOswts407 - Retiring In Colors Inspiration Hop

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. I am a member of the DO Stamper Stars team which is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today's feature project we'll be creating with the 2021-2023 In Colors that will retire with the annual catalog on May 1, 2023. Of the 5 colors, my favorite is the Evening Evergreen which pairs so well with the Soft Succulent. 

I'm working on creating Easter cards and chose the beautiful pack of 6x6 Fancy Flora Designer Series papers. A group of designs coordinate beautifully with the Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent In-colors. 

I saw the chocolate bunny used on some Easter cards and really liked the idea, so I added it to this one. It's a bit hard to see the ribbon, but it's a super cute touch in person. Having beautiful paper makes it so easy for great cards to come together quickly.

Share It Monday - Enjoy the Rhythm Birthday Card

Hello and welcome to my blog. The January - April 2023 mini occasional catalog has some really great products in the catalog. If you or your family play any instrument or just really enjoy music, Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set is perfect to create some unique projects. 

I just love all of the music related sentiments and images, but I am particularly drawn to the drum set in this stamp set. I took percussion lessons when I was young and played drums in all kinds of bands, including an all-girl rock band. I was also a member of the MN Youth Symphony, a very talented group of young musicians that traveled all over MN performing at different venues. As an adult I don't play as much anymore other than occasionally volunteering to perform at my church for special occasions. 

I just love the details on the drum set image. I didn't want to color too much of the drum set. Cymbals typically have a gold tint to them, so I used the So Saffron Stampin' Blends to add the color. The Happy Birthday sentiment and music notes are stamped on the inside. This will make a perfect card for any drummer in your life or someone who simply loves a bit of Rock & Roll!

Scrapbooking Global March 16 Blog Hop - Creative Backgrounds

The Scrapbooking Global Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in a scrapbooking Blog Hop Theme, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

 

Today's challenge of Creative Backgrounds is brought to you by Delys Cram. Each participant will have so much artistic style to create anything they desire. This could be showing off stamps to create a unique design, using favorite techniques to add texture to a background of the layout... even layering up the background with DSP. 

I decided to keep it easy and turned to the Textured Chic Memories & More cards. These cards come in sizes 4x6 and 4 x 3 with lots of different sentiments and/or design on the front and back. The hardest part is picking which ones to use. Once I did that, I simply adhered them to a basic white 12x12 base. 

 

I used a few of the photos from our family Christmas this year. Our children live all over and so we rented an Airbnb home in MT where our daughter's family lives and had such a fun week together. It has been a long time since we've been able to get together for Christmas. I will cherish this memory! 

I added additional 'sticker' sentiments from the Memories & more card pack to finish off the layout. This came together really quick, just how I like my scrapbooking to work. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today. See the list of creators below and simply click "Next Blog" on the right of the header to head over to Delys Cram's blog. Enjoy hopping along to see the beautiful projects that everyone else created for inspiration to create your own scrap pages!

If you like using Memories & More products, the Texture Chic pack is a fabulous pack and is linked below along with the other items used in the layout. For orders under $150 use the March Host code J96XXM9N or give me a call to place your order in this workshop. Orders at $65 or more qualify for the free Loyalty/VIP gift of Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
