Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day! Last week I went to Bath & Body Works to buy a birthday gift and of course walked out spending over $100! But I bought three body lotions for my daughter & two DIL’s for Valentine’s Day.

I created these cute tags for each:

I grabbed red and multiple pink ink pads and lots of heart & love related stamps. I created stamp clusters before but I should have gave these a little more thought. Some of the placements are not quite right, but I still like them. I just don’t love them! We’re always so critical of our own work, ha ha ha!

I added more stamping after I filmed but it’s the same process.

TGIF; Thankful Friday #209

Happy Thankful Friday. The weather has been perfect this week and it's nice to have some warmer days. But what I'm thankful for this week is I applied, interviewed and offered a new position at my job. 

I applied but I really didn't think I would get it. When I received the call with the offer and was surprised...pleasantly surprised but still...

I've been in my current position for 16 years! So, yeah, it'll be different, but I'm excited and thankful to learn new things.

So...YAY me!

What are you thankful for this week? Let me know in the comments!

STDA; Scrapbooking With AnnMarie

I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll let you know again, my friend has her own scrapbooking website that is all scrapbooking ALL the time. She hosts classes, tutorials, Zoom crops, etc and it’s free. There is a paid membership option too which has tons of benefits and you should definitely check it out HERE.

I was a Design Team member when she first opened the site - I took a break and now I’m back!

Here’s a sketch:

And here’s my layout:

Don’t you love this girly paper kit? So cute!

Yellow, Yellow and More Yellow Junk Journal Page

I pulled out so many different mediums for this spread and all in yellow! Mists, markers, paints, paint pens, gelatos, inks, etc. 

Then added some greens and white before drawing and adding the sentiment.

I even used a homemade stencil. I love how it turned out! Working in the Junk Journal is so much fun. 

I’m loading a second look at each signature of my Junk Journal. This one is in Signature #4 and the flip was posted earlier. Be sure to check it out my YouTube channel for all the flips!

Slumber Party Layout

Six photos on one page seems like a lot but I was able to get all six, a title and a few embellishments too!

Check out the process video on YouTube:

Photos and close ups:

I created the print & cut title plus the embellishments on Design Space. All free with Cricut Access! The more I play with the print and cut feature, the more I like it!

My goal for 2022 is to post at least two videos on YouTube a week and one must be scrapbooking related. I know it’s only been a month but I am reaching the goal. Be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you won’t miss a thing!

TGIF; Thankful Friday #208

Friday! I'm so glad to see you! We had a windy week and all the allergies came out but the sun was still shining. I'm thankful for California weather. Well, I guess I should say, Central Valley California weather.  I know it can be bad in other parts.

How about you? What are you thankful for this week? Let me know in the comments.
