Lasting Memories Challenge- Black and White!

Hello, the challenge this week at Lasting Memories is to use Black and White- and nothing else, even the photos need to be black and white! I thought I would find this a really hard challenge, but once I got started I really enjoyed it. I am pleased with the finished page. The picture is of my family before my daughter was born. 

 The paper, the vellum, the buttons and the pearls are from Papermania. I used a Sunbeam Stamp for the family stamp in the bottom corner.

Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to seeing what you do with this challenge!

Good Afternoon! I hope you are having a nice Sunday. The challenge this week at Lasting Memories is to incorporate flowers into a Layout. Here is my LO-

Sunbeam Sunday Challenge- A Layout

Happy Sunday! I have a layout to share with you this evening. The challenge this week at Sunbeam stamps, is to make a something inspired by mothers. Well, we have had mother's day here in April, so instead I have done a LO of the moments after my daughter was born. I used the family definition stamp. I love this stamp.I stamped it in teal ink, I like the tone on tone effect. I have used American Crafts paper and stickers, and My Minds Eye chipboard letters. The flowers are Papermania.

This is an 8"x8" layout, so I kept it quite simple. I really like these American Crafts paper, I bought them ages ago, but forgot I had them! I only found them out last week!!

Sunbeam Sunday Challenge

Happy Easter Weekend!! We have had a lovely day together. I wanted to share something I made for the Sunbeam Sunday Challenge, this week the challenge was to use something old to make something new. I used some card from a Pampers box. 

I had wanted to bind it with my Bind-it-All, but the card was too thick, so instead I made holes with the Big Bite, and used rings. I put some white card in it. The paper is We R Memory Keepers. I coloured the stamps with chalks. 


Thanks for stopping by, and hope you have a lovely Easter!

Sunbeam Sunday and a Challenge

The Simple Sunday challenge at Getting Cricky last Sunday was I'll Sing You A Song. I have been thinking about what I could do, Then I came across this stamp with the lyrics from As Sisters in Zion. This is one of my favourite hymns and it sums up how I feel about being a member of Relief Society (the organisation in our church for the women)

The words of the hymn are:

As sisters, in Zion, we'll all work together;
The blessings of God on our labours we'll seek.
We'll build up his kingdom with earnest endeavor;
We'll comfort the weary and strengthen the weak.

The errand of angels is given to women;
And this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim:
To do whatsoever is gentle and human, 
To cheer and to bless in humanity's name.

How vast is our purpose, how broad is our mission,
If we but fulfill it in spirit and deed.
Oh, naught but the Spirit's divinest tuition 
Can give us the wisdom to truly succeed.

I love the message of this hymn, and it gives me something to work towards, to be help those around me.

I used Winter Wonderland to cut out the circle and the scalloped circle. The stamp is Sunbeam Stamps, and the paper is My Mind's Eye, and a few odd buttons, and ribbon. The circle dangles, it is not stuck down.

Thanks for visiting. 

Sunbeam Sunday

What a beautiful Sunday we have had today. My family spent the afternoon at the Portchester Castle. It is so beautiful there, right by the sea and lots of grass. We love going there! 

When we got home I made a card that I want to send to someone who is new to our Church. I used my favourite stamps, Sunbeam Stamps. The paper is K&Co and the pearls pearls.

Make sure you come back tomorrow for the FCCB Cricut Crawl (Blog hop)!!

Sunbeam Sunday

Happy Sunday! Hope you are having a nice relaxing Sunday. I have had a busy week and this coming week is set to be busier still, so I might not be around much. I wanted to share a card I made this afternoon using Sunbeam Stamp

 I am also entering this into Paper Cutz Challenge to use 3 patterned papers on a project. This paper is Songbird by Papermania

Hope you have a great week! 

I {heart} Sunbeam Stamps!!

Hello,

I  made a scrapbook layout this afternoon using some of my favourite Sunbeam Stamps.

 I used the Eternity Definition and Families are forever. I used the Hannah Montana cartridge for the title and the journaling tag. The temple is a svg file I got from an Esty store. The paper is American Crafts.

 I stamped the Families are Forever in a light pink ink so I can go back and write on it later, and you will see it behind.

I love Sunbeam Stamps, there are some LDS themed stamps, but there are also ones for lots of occasions. Laura, the designer, is going to be starting some exciting things on her blog in the coming weeks, so check it out. 

I am also using this LO for the Inking it up challenge to create a LO. 

Happy Birthday to my Friend!

 I am really blessed to have a number of good friends. This past week was one of my friend's birthday and for a small gift for her I made her this-

I posted the front card recently. I put a couple of other cards in as well. I think it's really nice to give something you have made. All I have done is put the cards and envelopes in a bag, I took a pieces of green card 13cmx14cm and scored it at 7cm. I stapled this over the page and decorated it. The punch is from Xcut and the Stamps are Penny Black.

WOYWW

I made a real effort to have a nice tidy table for today. It was so messy yesterday, but I sorted thought all the scraps and put them away.

The only thing is, when it's like this I think I have so much room...what can I make?! And the mess starts all over again!

If you want to join in the fun go to Stamping Ground.


Here is my card for the Pink Stamper Challenge to make a card with a bird on it.

I used Winter Woodland Cartridge and cut the bird out at 3". The paper is from Laura Ashley and the stamp is Sunbeam Stamp

I found this cool blogfest as well, It's called Sweet City of Mine. You need to do a project about your favourite city and post it on the 21st March, but you can link up now. Just visit Holly's blog for more details, and there is some yummy candy to be won!

Thanks for the visit and have a happy WOYWW

50 LO in 50 days

Today is day 50 of the challenge I set myself...and I have finished all 50 scrapbook pages!! I really like scrapbooking, but I seem to never get round to doing it as much I would like. So I am really glad that I focused on it this past 50 days. I have a few pictures of some of my favourite ones.

 

  My boys have gone out for the day, and my little girl is feeling poorly and is in bed, so I have a bit of time to put up a long post...sorry! I am glad I have finished my challenge, now I have to start planning my next project!

Emboss it Challenge

I really love embossing, my big shot is one of my favourite tools. I was quite excited at the Cooking with Cricut challenge to use embossing on a project. I have made a card using a Docraft embossing folder. I liked it on the white card, but thought it made it hard to see the embossing, which reminded me using chalk around the edges of cards. A few years ago I used to chalk the edges all the time, but haven't done it in ages. So I thought I would bust out an old technique. I quite like it. It's nice to do things again after a little while of not doing.

 The Sunflowers are from Walk in my Garden cartridge, So I am also using it for my entry for Throwback Thursday challenge to use Walk in My Garden Cartridge . The stamp is from Sunbeam Stamps, which are some of my favourite stamps, they are LDS themed and really lovely!
