I have been really addicted to making box cards lately! Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die set makes it super easy to make these fun, dimensional cards. I also mixed in a few pieces (the grass and the trees) from some older Shadow Box card add-ons. I love that Lawn Fawn designs all of these sets to work together!<br />

Thanks so much for stopping by today!Melissa Stinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05398221863419788089noreply@blogger.com52tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736415091547125654.post-67899208286045536022019-01-05T00:11:00.001-06:002019-01-05T00:14:19.951-06:00Happy Planner Pages // November 2018I won't even make excuses for posting my November Happy Planner pages in January! Suffice it to say, holiday season, busy time, lots of family, lots of work...and LOTS of using the heck out of this thing to keep me on track!
<br />
<br />
I'll start off with a weekly spread using the Miss Maker collection. I LOVE the bright colors in this one!!! While working on this week I had an idea- to use narrow boxes to keep up with Darren's ever-changing schedule at the hospital! I've done this every week since then, and it's been a lifesaver as far as scheduling goes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div>
This was also the week where I decided to try out making a Plan With Me video for my YouTube channel!<br />
<br />

</div>
<div>
<br />
I've filmed bunches of my layouts since then, but ran out of time to edit and upload. I'm going to try to keep up with that more this year!<br />
<br />
The next layout was from the week of Darren's birthday, so I went crazy with the balloons and party theme.</div>

During November I also cut down on the number of planners I was using. Four was just too much, so I sized it down to two- my catch-all and to-do list planners- and let the fitness and journaling planners go. I found that I like to journal in the Day One app more than in my planner, anyway, and my Apple Watch and iPhone are actually the perfect spot for me to record my fitness information.<br />
<br />
For the week of Thanksgiving I went all seasonal with the Squad Goals sticker book:</div>

<br />
And, spoiler alert- in December I decided to try combining everything onto one layout- the Classic size Horizontal. I fell in love with it. Truly. So much so that I returned the other two layouts I had planned to try in 2019 and am using just the horizontal now!<br />
<br />

Most of the stickers on these pages are from the huge 100 sheet Mega Sticker Value Pack that was released at JoAnn on Black Friday. I have seen them still available in my local store recently as well as in the Happy Planner online store, so check out my flipthrough video below if you think this is something you might be interested in!<br />

Ha!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some of Lawn Fawn's products can have some long names, though, especially when they are of the add-on variety. I am totally on board with any length of name for these little cuties, though, because the Raccoon and Fox add-ons to the Tiny Gift Box die are simply adorable!</div>

I said a couple of posts ago that I couldn't stay away from the glitter with this release, and I had such fun using Lawn Fawn's Sparkle Cardstock (these colors are from the Autumn pack) for the faces and tails on my boxes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The add-ons and boxes are super easy to put together, but do take a bit of time to actually do all of the die cutting. And I cannot recommend the Lawn Fawn Glue Tube enough when putting these together- it made sticking all of those little pieces down so easy!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'll be back tomorrow with another projects from the Lawn Fawn Valentine's release!</div>

Back then I practically memorized the book <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2rtVjCH">A Koala Grows Up</a></i> and would get a bit miffed when people referred to them as bears (because they are, in fact, marsupials).<br />
<br />
So, when Lawn Fawn came out with the new I Love You(calyptus) mini stamp set as part of their Valentine's release, I was pretty excited!<br />

This card is pretty simple - I used the Zig Zag Rectangle dies (yes, again!) to cut a background from some green Gotta Have Gingham paper. I stamped the images onto Bristol paper with Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink and colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and a water brush. Then I layered the cut images over a die cut Sending Hugs die (also part of the new release), added some white Nuvo drops, and that was that!<br />

Thanks so much for stopping by- I hope you have a great day!<br />

Today the design team is working with the adorable <i>Let's Toast</i> stamp set and coordinating dies, and I have a card to share!<br />

<br />
I will admit that I just <i>could not</i> stay away from the glitter with this release! I used Lawn Fawn's sparkle cardstock on all but one project. There's just something about winter and Christmas that makes me want to bling <i>all the things</i>.<br />
<br />
To make the card, I used the Zig Zag Rectangle dies to cut the white background, then cut a piece of watercolor paper using the Stitched Circles dies and blended Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide inks onto it. I stamped the images onto Bristol paper with Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink (no heat embossing this time) and colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and a water brush. Super cute, super simple, and super fun!<br />
<br />
I'll be back tomorrow with the only card I made for this release that didn't include glitter- ha!! Until then, have a great day, and thanks so much for stopping by!<br />

Blame it on the high of being surrounded by paper and stickers for days (it's like a sugar rush, a caffeine kick, and an adrenaline high at the same time), or on my being exhausted into a highly suggestible state (quite possibly caused by staying up a bit too late to catch that one last ride at Disneyland with the ever fabulous <a href="http://mayflaum.com/">May Flaum</a> right before the show started), but when I wandered into that Me and My Big Ideas booth and spotted all the new Happy Planners, I was instantly hooked.<br />
<br />
I'm no stranger to MAMBI- I've loved their embellishments for years and <a href="http://scrappyjedi.blogspot.com/2013/05/project-life-page-protector-comparison.html">raved about their journaling cards and Project Life-style pocket pages</a> a few years ago. Until that fateful day when I walked into their booth, though, I had pretty much been blocking out all things planner and had completely missed out on the magic that is their disc bound system. I loved the idea of the simple laminated covers (though you can certainly have a fancy, plush cover if you want one!), and the mix of utility and style in their pages. As soon as my local store got the planners in stock, I rushed out to get my very first one.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to now, and I currently use <i>several</i> Happy Planners at once. I only keep plans in one of them, and the others are pretty much fancy notebooks and trackers. My catch-all planner is a Classic size with a vertical layout, and it's where all of my appointments and scheduling items go. My life is actually kind of light on appointments (and heavy on to-dos, which I'll get to in a minute), so I tend to deck this one out a bit more than some of the others.<br />
<br />
For instance, this week I went nuts with all the Halloween goodness! (The planner itself is the S<i>quad Goals</i> design from their release earlier this year.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I keep track of all of those to-dos that I mentioned earlier in a Classic size planner with a Horizontal layout. (This planner is one from the 2017 release and will be over at the end of this year. I've already picked up another horizontal to take its place starting in January!)<br />
<br />

<br />
I tend to fill these pages up pretty much completely every week as items pop up. Honestly, this planner probably helps save my sanity, and I try to brain dump into it every night before I go to bed so I don't have a list swirling around in my mind all night.<br />
<br />
And then there is the planner that I use for a fitness tracker (the <i>Hand Drawn Whimsy</i> design, which stole my heart as soon as I saw the preview).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This planner isn't strictly necessary, and once upon a time I wouldn't have needed extra motivation to keep me working out. But in the last few years we've had some major life changes- I started my own business and eventually quit my software job to run it full time. Darren started and graduated from medical school and is now in residency, which also meant that we moved to another state (and towed my business along with us!). I still love working out and staying fit, but having this planner to fill up with my workouts and health stats gives me just a little bit of extra motivation- like getting to put a gold star on the calendar every day. :)<br />
<br />
I have sections of all of these planners Frankenplanned into one binder, so I'm not jumping around between multiple books. I'll try to do a video soon showing that setup! (Because, yes, I <i>finally</i> feel like getting back to doing videos and have my setup at the new house ready to go!)<br />
<br />
I also have been toying off and on with MAMBI's Happy Memory Keeping system for a year or so, as well, and things have finally settled out enough recently for me to find my groove with it. I already do Project Life, and I didn't want to just replicate that same information again in a planner format. Instead, I'm going to use it to tell 1-2 stories each week in a super simple layout format (think <a href="https://www.heidiswapp.com/storyline/">Heidi Swapp Storyline</a>), and I may go back to past years to catch up on some stories that I don't quite want to do a full layout on, but still want to get into an album. I'll be sharing some of that here, too!<br />
<br />
This post is really just a long and rambling way of saying that you'll be starting to see some planner stuff here! It won't be all planners, all the time, because I definitely still scrapbook, and I still make cards, and I still make spreads in my traveler's notebooks- I basically embrace all forms of scrapbooking and memory keeping and am excited for the additional ways that I can use planners to meet those goals!Melissa Stinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05398221863419788089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736415091547125654.post-86185077762294288632018-09-26T01:12:00.001-05:002018-12-08T00:27:55.306-06:00Lawn Fawn Thermoweb Week // Adventures with Purple Tape<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I've been using Post-It tape for die cutting for years, but I've always had issues with it not being quite flexible enough to adhere through the openings of teeny, tiny dies (due to it having a thick paper backing). This meant that sometimes my dies would shift during cutting, making me a sad panda- especially if it was a cut that I spent a lot of time coloring! I found that Purple Tape is wonderfully oh-so-flexible, though, and has a better hold, too! Imagine a slightly less aggressive version of blue painter's tape. I'm in love, and I'm never going back!</div>

I combined Lawn Fawn's Deck the Halls and Snow Day stamp sets to make today's card, and I clustered some branches, pine cones, and two adorable bunnies around a sentiment banner to create my focal point. I enjoy making a scene card now and then, but making a card with a cluster at the focus feels more like me. It takes me back to the days when I did oodles of scrapbooking, and honestly I could see myself using the same composition as an embellishment on a page (note to self- try that soon!). </div>

This year's set is an adorable assortment of winter-themed squirrels called <i><a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=809789324">Nutty or Nice</a></i>. This set has lots of smaller images, which would make it great for a shadow box or pop-up box card, but I decided to use the <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=765733991">Peekaboo Backdrop</a> to make a card with a series of mini-scenes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9-Mtqa_vAlUDSxn7ZRW0yokJm0o1vY_JdNZd6M3duzTVXhOPbvBbV7gg2Kms08jdLD67qOuhvb9CNz9t4i1bfcSCbq1pVc9ThTPkATnJ9BzY8KcavoGSP4YXV67hk6n6mL8lZSq5mVfqR/s1600/DSC_0129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9-Mtqa_vAlUDSxn7ZRW0yokJm0o1vY_JdNZd6M3duzTVXhOPbvBbV7gg2Kms08jdLD67qOuhvb9CNz9t4i1bfcSCbq1pVc9ThTPkATnJ9BzY8KcavoGSP4YXV67hk6n6mL8lZSq5mVfqR/s1600/DSC_0129.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
And I used a couple of images to decorate the inside of my card, too! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLGaKYeVV5VueL08O5H3dSfU9Vd6YsDVyRAsBUD0OKW5pOLRvmijqoPE4UZw_3-oiNWuLBl7J1-xbNt4kvAuifP1apzqU9HVQvzAKkFkb94Wb0hJfup5-fDp_KDDEIfpzxXxdCgkpbL3cO/s1600/DSC_0130.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLGaKYeVV5VueL08O5H3dSfU9Vd6YsDVyRAsBUD0OKW5pOLRvmijqoPE4UZw_3-oiNWuLBl7J1-xbNt4kvAuifP1apzqU9HVQvzAKkFkb94Wb0hJfup5-fDp_KDDEIfpzxXxdCgkpbL3cO/s1600/DSC_0130.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Here are a few details about the card:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The images were colored with <a href="https://amzn.to/2Q0sdpH">Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers</a> and a <a href="https://amzn.to/2oBDjor">water brush</a>. I am still a bit Copic-challenged, and I just find the Zigs much easier to work with.</li>
<li>I stamped the images with <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=575429365">Versafine Onyx Black ink</a> and heat embossed with clear powder- my go-to when using Zigs since it helps to keep the color inside the lines.</li>
<li>The little snowflakes are actually from the just-released <i><a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=802775932">Winter Skies</a></i> set. I needed something to use as a bit of filler, and the <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/">Lawn Fawn shop</a> actually has a great search feature where you can find out which sets have a certain type of image/design. For example, need a tree? Search for "tree" and you'll get a listing of every Lawn Fawn stamp set with a tree in it. It's a fantastic resource!</li>
<li>I die cut the <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=765733991">Peekaboo Backdrop</a> frame from 80 lb. white cardstock three times and stacked/glued them together using <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=765734053">Lawn Fawn's glue tube</a> to give a bit of dimension. I have tried a massive number of liquid adhesives in the past and found all of them lacking. This little tube is super easy to use and works really well for both intricate and large pieces.</li>
<li>The background was ink blended using <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=680665644">Broken China Distress Oxide ink</a> over watercolor paper.</li>
<li>I wanted to give the tree branch a bit of a shiny look, so I used a <a href="https://amzn.to/2NbGzoC">Tim Holtz stamping platform</a> to first stamp the branch with <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=583161723">Lawn Fawn Doe ink</a>, then stamped over it again using <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=802775803">Lawn Fawn's clear embossing ink</a>. I heat set some clear embossing powder into the clear ink, which let the brown ink underneath show through. You can use this technique with any dye ink to get the look of colored embossing powder, but all you really use is clear!</li>
</ul>
<div>
You can <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=809789324">pick up this stamp and die set</a> over at Simon Says Stamp during Stamptember...as long as it is in stock! In past years the Lawn Fawn set has sometimes sold out in a matter of a day or two, so don't delay if you want one!</div>

This week the design team is working with a batch of the new products (which will release on August 23rd), and today we're all playing with the <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=802775918&afftrack=">Double Slider Surprise die</a>!<br />
<br />
I decided to see how well this would work to add extra photos in my latest scrapbooking love- traveler's notebooks. I know I jumped on this bandwagon late in the game, and I'm not really sure why I resisted for so long! I love this smaller format and how quickly pages come together. Sometimes, though, I still have an extra photo or two I'd like to include while still keeping lots of white (or, in this case, green) space on a page.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The slider mechanism is surprisingly easy to put together since the die set cuts everything out for you. Kelly has a great video up on the Lawn Fawn YouTube channel explaining how to put everything together and also showing some great card examples.<br />

<br />
I will say that while I really like this idea for adding photos to one or two layouts in a TN, it can add a bit of bulk to the page since you need to use a heavier weight (I used 80lb) cardstock for the pullout tabs. It's definitely not something I would use on every page in a notebook, but it's definitely a fun way to mix things up here and there!<br />

Today the design team is featuring several fall and Halloween themed stamps and dies, and you can see lots more inspiration from the other Fawny girls over <a href="https://blog.lawnfawn.com/2018/08/lawn-fawn-intro-pick-of-the-patch-pick-of-the-patch-reveal-wheel-add-on-spooky-fence-border/">on the Lawn Fawn blog</a>!<br />

My card today features a couple of images from the adorable new <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=802775940&afftrack=">Pick of the Patch</a> stamp set, and I paired it with some new dies (<a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=802535422&afftrack=">Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Windows</a>) and old dies (<a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=583161664&afftrack=">Small Stitched Leaves</a> and the foliage from <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=700447789&afftrack=">Pretty Poppies</a>) to create a window for my sentiment and a small cluster to finish off the frame. The leaves were cut from the new <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=802775788&afftrack=">Knit Picky Fall</a> paper collection, and I just love the autumn colors and patterns in this set!<br />
<br />
All stamping, including the sentiment, is done in <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=575429365&afftrack=">Versafine Onyx Black</a> ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This gives the sentiment a little bit of "pop" while at the same time helping me keep my coloring in the lines on the images, something that makes coloring with watercolor brush markers (I used both <a href="https://amzn.to/2KYOwIz">Zig Clean Color</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/2OCtmlR">Arteza</a> markers here) a bit easier as it tends to keep the color inside the lines.<br />

I used a bit of Glossy Accents to add some shine and dimension to the pumpkin, and also used a <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=24698&userID=561304&productID=575429980&afftrack=">Wink of Stella pen in clear glitter</a> to add a little shimmer to the die cut leaves.<br />

To be honest, I think I missed most of last week- it was such a blur of work! I'm going to get things caught up now, though, and then tomorrow Lawn Fawn may or may not have something extra adorably special to share!<br />
<br />

I've already shared most of my projects from Lawn Fawn's last inspiration/release week, but there are two that haven't made it up here yet. The first is (gasp!) an actual paper layout! I used the new <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/knock-on-wood-collection-pack">Knock On Wood</a> paper collection for this one- I simply <i>love</i> the colors in this line!<br />

This page was also my first time trying out Nuvo Crystal drops on a page, and I really like them! I'm going to need to acquire a few more colors, I think.<br />

My final project for this Inspiration Week used the new <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/scalloped-treat-box-haunted-house-add-on">Haunted House add-on dies</a> for Lawn Fawn's <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/products/scalloped-treat-box">Scalloped Treat Box</a>. This set contains so many cute little pieces that will help you quickly turn a treat box into a spooky little house! There's also a <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/scalloped-treat-box-winter-house-add-on">Winter House add-on die set</a> that the team will be showing in an upcoming Inspiration Week.<br />

As usual the Lawn Fawn blog was full of awesome projects by the other members of the design team, so be sure to check out the last three posts in this Inspiration Week's series!<br />
<br />

<br />
I also posted two layouts over at The Lilypad last week (well, two weeks ago- I don't think that I actually made anything last week!).<br />
<br />
The first uses the new September 2017 Storyteller collection by Just Jaimee...<br />
<br />

...and the second is a Project Life layout using the September 2017 Memory Pockets Monthly collection. You can click on either of the layouts to see them in The Lilypad gallery, along with a full supply list.<br />

Lawn Fawn has posted three of my projects on their blog so far, and I'll have two more up in the next few days. All of the new items will be available both at <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/">Lawn Fawn</a> and other retailers on August 24th.<br />

I had a lot of fun playing with my new Distress Oxide inks to make the night sky background for this card. It was super easy using the tips that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN2_fpp5iaA">Jennifer McGuire shared in a recent video</a>. The stamps are from the new Costume Party set, and I also used the Village Border and Stitched Hillside Backdrop (Landscape) dies in the background.<br />

I straight-up fell in love with the Shadow Box die from this release!! I didn't think it could get any better than the <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/products/scalloped-box-card-pop-up">Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up</a> die, but this little guy is just amazing! It's so much fun to create scene cards that have some depth to them, and, as a bonus, they fold flat and can be mailed using regular envelopes and postage!<br />

The stamps used here are from the new Forest Feast set. The tree and hill dies in the scene are actually part of the Shadow Box die set!<br />

<br />
My next card was super simple, but sometimes that's what you need! I really wanted the colors in the candy corn (from the How You Bean: Candy Corn Add-On stamp set) to stand out, so I mounted the shaker jar (using some of the new Lawn Fawn chunky glitter as filler) on gray cardstock cut using the new Stitched Scallop Stackables dies.<br />

<br />
The orange paper is from the new Knock On Wood paper line. I also used some aqua paper from the same collection on the shadow box card above. The woodgrain patterns are great for adding a little interest while still keeping things toned down.<br />

Over at The Lilypad I made two digital layouts this week. The first uses one of the add-ons to the <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/M3-Aug-17/">August 2017 Mixed Media Monthly</a> kit. The theme this month is Outdoor/Wilderness/Explore, and it is totally amazing! I know I'll be scrapping lots more of my camping adventure photos with this collection.<br />
<br />

Just popping in really quickly this week with one new layout to share.<br />
<br />
I've not had much time for scrapbooking again this week, but I did want to play with the back to school themed products in the August edition of the <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Create-Crate-Monthly-Class-Act.html">Create Crate Monthly</a> subscription over at The Lilypad.<br />
<br />

These photos were taken a couple of years ago when Darren was in his second year of medical school, and it's crazy to think that now he's in his last year! He's working on his residency application and getting a couple of away rotations in, and in just over 6 months we'll find out where we'll be moving to for that chapter of this adventure. There's so much to do between now and then that it quite often boggles my mind! Let's just say that my planner and I have become good friends. :)<br />
<br />
I should have more to share next week, especially with Lawn Fawn's new release and inspiration week starting next Thursday!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by- I'll see you all again next week!Melissa Stinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05398221863419788089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736415091547125654.post-65555995036810286972017-08-06T23:59:00.000-05:002017-08-06T23:59:19.198-05:00Weekly Recap // August 6, 2017I debated with myself about posting an update this week since I have done zero scrapping and have no new projects to show! Star & Bee has been keeping me super busy with orders, so it's been lots of work while listening to audio books for me lately. With so much work going on longer books are a must, so I'm currently listening to Charles Dickens' <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008537142/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B008537142&linkCode=as2&tag=thescrjed-20&linkId=56467c53e5780d54b9589ad37f2a3791">Little Dorrit</a>- </i>the dry humor (and Victorian-era snark) in his writing is just wonderful! (And it's almost 32 hours long!)<br />
<br />
I don't like posting without an image of some kind, though, so I pulled a couple of layouts out of my gallery at The Lilypad from last month's Build Your Own Collection (BYOC) to share. I was a bit bummed to not have time to work with the <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/BYOC-AUG17/">August BYOC</a> when it was released on Friday, but I'll go back and make a few pages with it when time allows.<br />
<br />
You can click on either page to see it in the Lilypad Gallery along with a list of the products used.<br />

<br />
I'm totally in need of some beach time with Darren right now! The house in Mobile is about an hour from Dauphin Island, and we drive out for the day whenever we have time.<br />
<br />

<br />
I should have time for a digital page or two next week, and then the week after that is the start of Lawn Fawn's Inspiration and Release Week. Lots to look forward to!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a great week!Melissa Stinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05398221863419788089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736415091547125654.post-10744303564423723952017-07-30T23:30:00.000-05:002017-07-31T01:36:23.390-05:00Weekly Recap // July 30, 2017Wow, so it's week 2 of my new round-up posts here, and I'm already running late! It's been a crazy week, though- our central air conditioning unit decided to die mid-week, and it was several days before we had cooling again in the house! And, of course, those several days <i>would</i> be when the temperatures here were in the mid 90s with humidity hovering somewhere around 88%. Darren and I were both scrambling around working on that little hiccup, so everything else kind of took a back seat for a while.<br />
<br />
I did scrap two digital layouts for The Lilypad this week, though! The first uses the August 2017 edition of Just Jaimee's <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Storyteller-Subscription.html">Storyteller</a> subscription. This has got to be, hands down, one of the best values in digital scrapbooking, and her designs are always fantastic!<br />

<br />
I've been working on catching up on past years of Project Life (the photos and notes are all there, the time to scrap just often isn't), and I used the August edition of The Lilypad's <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Memory-Pockets-Monthly/">Memory Pockets Monthly</a> subscription for a spread from 2015. Darren was peeking over my shoulder while I was working on this one and really liked seeing photos of the progress on the workshop that he built for me that summer, so there's at least one plus to continuing to work on these pages- even if I am a couple of years late!<br />

Even though the days of me having time to blog daily are long gone (let's face it, I can't even get an post up on <i>Instagram</i> every day!), I still scrap for Lawn Fawn and The Lilypad and would like a place to share what's going on at those two places.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://purplemailbox.blogspot.com/">Ashli Oliver</a> had an amazing idea last year to round up all of her scrapping and art journaling posts from various galleries and social media into one blog post each week, and I'm going to borrow that idea from her and try to round up all of my work each Friday. We'll see if I can actually keep up with it!<br />

Lawn Fawn has been showing off their new stamps, dies, papers, and accessories all week long. It's an absolutely massive release with three paper lines, 14 new stamp sets, 24 standalone dies, and new ink cubes, embossing powders, and glitter. Everything will be available for purchase in late August.<br />
<br />
I think that my favorite of the bunch is the new Knock on Wood paper line- the colors are so pretty, and the pattern will go with almost anything!<br />

Last fall I joined the Pollywog creative team at The Lilypad and had been having a blast making digital layouts for them. Digital scrapbooking is so much easier and faster for me in so many ways- all of the supplies are stored on a hard drive and don't require extra shelves, the ability to "undo" changes (especially with paint!) is amazing, and cleanup is as simple as closing down Photoshop.<br />
<br />
This week I made two layouts for their weekly Froggy Friday release. You can click through each layout to see it in The Lilypad gallery along with links to the products used for each page.<br />

And I did manage to get one post up on Instagram this week! I'm the official keeper of my niece and nephew's school keepsakes, and last weekend I spent some time photographing everything in the box that my brother sent home with me at the end of their school year. </div>

Some of the physical items will be kept, but a lot of it can be recycled now. All of the pictures will be printed into a photo book for each child, so at the end of their school careers they'll theoretically have one tote full of the actual projects and then a collection of slim photo books that capture everything else. </div>

Welcome back to my third entry for Lawn Fawn's February Inspiration Week! Today I have two layouts to share using the new <i><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Flf-lf1105.html">Perfectly Plaid</a> </i>papers that were part of the CHA Winter 2016 release. <i>All of the new items will be available for purchase on February 18th in the <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/new-arrivals">Lawn Fawn shop</a> and at other retailers, and both <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fsearch%2Easpx%23%2F%3F%5F%3D1%26filter%2Ebrand%3DLawn%2520Fawn">Simon Says Stamp</a> and <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=33086&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Escrapbook%2Ecom%2Fstore%2Fcoming%2Dsoon%2Ephp%3Fo%3D24%26r%3D1%26t12%2D13%3Dlawn%2Bfawn">Scrapbook.com</a> actually have the entire CHA Winter 2016 release available for preorder right now!</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/24939535371/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_0124-2.jpg"><img alt="DSC_0124-2.jpg" height="640" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1589/24939535371_5f16c43918_z.jpg" width="494" /></a></div>
<br />
My first layout uses <i><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Flf-lf1105.html">Perfectly Plaid</a></i> pretty much on its own- just some white cardstock, vellum, and a tag added in. I find that my Lawn Fawn layouts are a little bit less full of "stuff" than my other pages, simply because the company makes fewer embellishments. I enjoy the challenge, though, and they make plenty of dies that make it easy to make my own page accents.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/24779939910/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_7334.jpg"><img alt="DSC_7334.jpg" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1585/24779939910_6a8b082eaf_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Hands down my favorite Lawn Fawn dies to use on layouts are their alphabets. I used <i><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D304975">Finley's ABCs</a></i> to cut the title for this page from some salmon colored felt. A few years ago I bought a big 6x9 sampler pack of awesome wool blend felt from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/61866953/wool-blend-felt-collection-6x9">Benzie Design</a>, and it's become a staple on my Lawn Fawn pages. Honestly, if I could go back in time to when I first started scrapbooking, I wouldn't buy Thickers or large alphabet stickers at all- I'd gladly trade them all for alphabet dies and some basic materials such as foam, felt, and cork that are so versatile and don't leave you with lots of leftover letters!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/25049203776/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_7333.jpg"><img alt="DSC_7333.jpg" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1458/25049203776_c33c98624f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/25075555715/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_7336.jpg"><img alt="DSC_7336.jpg" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1628/25075555715_7218c25726_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You'll be seeing lots of miss Sophie Clare on my <i>Perfectly Plaid </i>layouts over the next few months since her wardrobe seems to be a perfect match for the colors in the collection, but for my second layout today I actually ventured into some garden photos.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/24914791242/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_0126-2.jpg"><img alt="DSC_0126-2.jpg" height="640" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1615/24914791242_45927d93f3_z.jpg" width="494" /></a></div>
<br />
This page mixes <i>Perfectly Plaid</i> with Lawn Fawn's second new paper collection, <i><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Flf-lf1105.html">Let's Polka in the Meadow</a></i>. The colors in the two lines really complement each other nicely.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/24707895659/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_7337.jpg"><img alt="DSC_7337.jpg" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1621/24707895659_7c0d8dca20_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used another set of Lawn Fawn alphabet dies- this time it was <i><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Fpp-lf576.html">Cole's ABCs</a></i>- to cut my title from some thin cork sheets.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/25075558315/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_7338.jpg"><img alt="DSC_7338.jpg" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1551/25075558315_b44f7dfe92_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/24982231021/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_7339.jpg"><img alt="DSC_7339.jpg" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1472/24982231021_7bc8534c86_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'll be back tomorrow with one final card using more of the new release stamps. See you then!<br />

Hello, and a very happy Monday to everyone! I'm back with another card for Lawn Fawn's February installment of their Inspiration Week, and this time I'm using the new <i><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D338563">Rooting For You</a></i> stamp set that was part of their CHA Winter 2016 release. <i>All of the new items will be available for purchase on February 18th in the <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/new-arrivals">Lawn Fawn shop</a> and at other retailers, and both <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fsearch%2Easpx%23%2F%3F%5F%3D1%26filter%2Ebrand%3DLawn%2520Fawn">Simon Says Stamp</a> and <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=33086&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Escrapbook%2Ecom%2Fstore%2Fcoming%2Dsoon%2Ephp%3Fo%3D24%26r%3D1%26t12%2D13%3Dlawn%2Bfawn">Scrapbook.com</a> actually have the entire CHA Winter 2016 release available for preorder right now!</i><br />

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/25006474476/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_7308.jpg"><img alt="DSC_7308.jpg" height="640" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1679/25006474476_40fe9435e4_z.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>

<i><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D338563">Rooting For You</a></i> was one of my favorite sets from this release because I love the effect you get from layered stamping. This is Lawn Fawn's first excursion into this type of design, but with their expanding ink line it's a natural direction for them to branch into. Most of the vegetables have two layers- one a solid base and then another to add more detail- and the greens are stamped in two parts, as well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrappyjedi/24914781732/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_7312.jpg"><img alt="DSC_7312.jpg" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1533/24914781732_bbaa10523d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
These are very easy to line up, and if you've been intimidated by layered stamps in the past this would be a great set to start with. The faces are also separate stamps, so you have your choice or kawaii or non-kawaii vegetables depending on your mood. There are examples of both <a href="http://lawnfawn.blogspot.com/2016/02/lawn-fawn-intro-rooting-for-you_15.html">by the Lawn Fawn team over on the company blog</a>, along with intro project videos by Kelly.<br />

This was the card that actually started my watercolor "blob" obsession with this release. I was looking for a cute way to represent dirt and sky and wasn't thrilled with the results I was getting from ink blending. I always love <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kaym2015/">Kay Miller</a>'s watercolored cards, and while I'm nowhere near as good as she is, I do like how it turned out on my projects!<br />
<br />
Like yesterday's card, I cut the watercolor background using the largest of the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Fpp-lf768.html">Small Stitched Rectangles</a> dies and adhered it to a card base made from 100 lb Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. The sentiment is stamped using Versamark ink and white embossing powder to make it pop off of the brown background.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Tomorrow Lawn Fawn will be showcasing their new <i><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Flf-lf1115.html%3Fw%3Dperfectly+plaid">Perfectly Plaid</a> </i>paper collection, and I'll have two layouts to share. See you then!<br />

I made three cards and two layouts for this week's festivities, and all of my cards ended up with the same watercolor "blob" type of background. I tried it once with the first card I made, loved it, and just kind of got on a roll with it after that. All of the cards still turned out looking quite different from each other thanks to different colors, images, and themes, so hopefully it won't get too repetitive here this week!<br />

<br />
I painted the blobs using an inexpensive watercolor pan set from Michaels. It's their <a href="http://www.michaels.com/artists-loft-fundamentals-watercolor-pan-set/10122060.html#q=watercolor&start=9">$5 Artist's Loft set</a>, and for cards and crafty projects it's totally perfect! I do have a set of <a href="http://amzn.to/1ThK87T">Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors</a> on order, but that's just because I want to play with them- you definitely do not need expensive art supplies to make cards!<br />

I colored the cute little chicks and other images from this stamp set with my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kuretake-Clean-Color-48VRB-6000AT-60V/dp/B007PMOH00/ref=sr_1_3/ie=UTF8?qid=1438037235?sr=8-3?keywords=kuretake%20zig%20clean%20color%20real%20brush?tag=thescrjed-20">Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers</a> on some bristol paper before cutting them out using the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Flf-lf1047.html%3Fw%3Dlawn+fawn+chirp">coordinating die set</a> and adhering them to the watercolored background. The egg was stamped using the new <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Flf-lf1086.html%3Fo%3D24%26r%3D1%26t23%3Dcoming+soon%26t12-13%3Dlawn+fawn">Carrot</a> ink color that's part of Lawn Fawn's CHA release. The watercolored background was cut using the largest of Lawn Fawn's <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Fpp-lf768.html">Small Stitched Rectangle dies</a> and is adhered to a card base made from one of the new Lawn Fawn <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=561304&b=165660&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=www.scrapbook.com%2Fstore%2Flf-lf1126.html%3Fo%3D24%26r%3D1%26t23%3Dcoming+soon%26t12-13%3Dlawn+fawn">cardstocks</a> that's also being released on the 18th.<br />

<br />
I wanted to pop in with a quick explanation for the last couple of weeks' silence and to also let you know what's coming up.<br />
<br />
First, I still have <i>lots</i> of CHA photos to share and will get back to posting them tonight. The last two weeks of January were super busy ones for <a href="http://www.starandbee.com/">Star & Bee</a> (plus my regular job, too), and then I took a few days just to be creative and make some things before throwing myself back into work and photo editing again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/mmmm-cake.240460/"><img border="0" src="http://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/mmmm-cake.240460/full" height="640" width="494" /></a></div>
<br />
I really wanted to finish off the <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/forum/forum/MOC-2016/">Month of Challenges</a> at <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/">The Lilypad</a>, so I sat down and somehow managed to get all 31 layouts finished by the February 2nd deadline! They're all posted in my gallery there, but I'll be sharing a few of my favorites here, like <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/mmmm-cake.240460/">the one above</a>!<br />
<br />

<br />
Second, I was a guest along with May Flaum and Tami Morrison on the most recent episode of the Paperclipping Roundtable podcast. We chatted about CHA and some of the trends we saw both on the product side and the business side of things. You can listen to <a href="http://www.paperclipping.com/prt270-the-cha-report/">Episode 270 here</a>!<br />

Third, Lawn Fawn's first release week featuring the new items from CHA Winter 2016 is starting this Thursday over <a href="http://lawnfawn.blogspot.com/">on the Lawn Fawn blog</a>! I'm finishing up some projects and will be sharing those here next week amidst the continuing CHA photo posts.<br />
<br />
