I've been slowly building my collection of Stampin' Up! Inks and trying to use my old CTMH ones as much as possible.
The problem is, the more and more I use the ones from Stampin' Up! the more and more I want to purchase...good thing is I've been using my Stampin' Rewards to stock up and I've been LOVING THEM!
I made this layout as part of a monthly YT Collab featuring random sketches we find online. This month's sketch came from Scrapbook & Cards Today. I went a little roque (for those of you who know me, this is no surprise) and made a monochromatic layout of sorts with some pops of yellow. Let's take a look...
By using the new Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (adhesive-backed, I might add), I was able to add some pops of yellow which went really complemented my photos...
Those cute little clouds? Those are from the Ephemera Pack too...CUTE, huh!?! I stamped some sentiments using Secret Sea Ink and images from the Storybook Life Stamp Set (you'll find links to all the products at the end of this post)...
Remember me telling you that my love of Stampin' Up! Ink Pads is growing...well, this is just one of the reasons. The ink reacts to water much like Distress Oxide Inks. Don't believe me? Take a look and don't forget to head on over to YT and watch the process...

It's been a while since I posted this scrapbook layout to my YT Channel, but it's worth sharing!
We took a trip a few years ago to something called Son's Island in Texas. You can rent these little spots right on the river and swim, float, kayak...you name it, you can do it.
I found using a mixture of Florals in Bloom and Nests of Winter DSP was the perfect fit for these photos, don't you! You can find a complete list of products I used {{{here}}}.
There are so many little details on this layout 😊 like this sun-stamped title. I cut some Daffodil Delight Cardstock using the Party Alphabet Dies then stamped the cute little sun using Darling Duckling Ink...
These cute little circles were made by embossing some Pool Party Two-Toned Cardstock with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder then using various circle punches to cut out the little anchor spots to my sentiments. I stamped the sentiments on some Daffodil Delight Cardstock and dove-tailed the ends...
Now for the WATERFALL I was talking about. This layout has an interactive feature where when you pull this little date tab, you'll see a waterfall of 10 additional photos....how cool is that!

One of my FAVORITE things about the Just a Note Bundle are the dies - not only do you get the cutest little piece of notebook paper, but you also get several little paper clips - this clip is one of them. It's also a perfect opportunity to showcase the backside of the Floral Charm DSP...
If you follow me on Instagram, you might've already seen this cute little card using the Paper Pumpkin for May and asking my followers which they preferred - "this" or "that" 😊
I also made some to send to customers and included a free tutorial pdf so they could make their own. This card features the Boho Vibes 6x6 DSP as well as some of the Celebratory Sips DSP. I used the NEW Cloud Cover (2025-2027 In Color) 8-1/2 x 11 Cardstock for the base - you can get two bases from one sheet of cardstock...win-win! I added some Darling Duckling Ribbon on this card and some Flat Pearls. Now that they've all had time to receive their little package, I wanted to share with all of you!
By adding the pops of color using coordinating Ribbon and Flat Pearls (using the 2025-2027 In Colors), it just makes that sweet little sentiment pop! I also stamped an inside sentiment using the Textured Notes Stamp Set as well...

I joined some of my crafty friends last weekend for our monthly hop featuring a Sketch we find (or create) online.
This month's sketch came from Page Maps, I believe, and the theme was Summer Fun. I immediately knew what I was going to create!
From the moment I saw the 6x6 Fruit Salad DSP (part of the Sale-a-Bration earlier this year), I knew I was going to be using it with a photo I took of our youngest son at Son's Island. What I didn't know is how PERFECT this layout would turn out!
I actually did TWO Videos for this one - the first was for the YT Hop and the second one was to add some finishing touches. I hope you'll watch both of them and let me know what you think...
Head on over to YT to watch the videos so you can interact, like, share, comment, etc. You will find links to the products I used below or you can always click the links in my Video.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope y'all have a WONDERFUL WEEK 😊
