Well, I am finally getting this one done!! Used Simple Stories Vintage Cottage Fields collection with chipboard. The Mother's journal is a rub on from my stash I'd save for such a place as this.

Simple Stories Vintage Cottage A Good Day Layout

This layout is using the Simple Stories Vintage Cottage collection. I fussy cut the paper on the left page and then glued another piece in it's place. I added powder to some of the stickers on the border sticker sheet and popped them up to have a free flowing look. I added a Maya Road envelop with tickets and other ephemera and journaling.

Hugs House Mouse Card

With the House Mouse challenge of stitching, I tried my hand at running twine through the Spellbinder's Hemstitch oval die. I found this lovely pattern paper from Simple Stories that features quilting, and added the Hugs die doubled and off-set as to show a shadow. The image is the House Mouse Teddy Friend and the two of them look so dear! We all need a lot of hugs now a days but no one is seeing each other much less hugging one another, so this will go to someone that needs to feel one none-the-less. I added a bit of trim from my huge stash with red tape to tack it down. Hope you feel a big "hug" too from me to you!

Simple Stories Happy Easter Layout and Cards

Using the Simple Stories Happy Easter collection from 2018, I made an array of Easter goodies. First I arranged the photos from our 2004 Easter Egg hunt of our three children, (Blast from the past), and then added a pocket page as to tuck extra pics and journaling into. I added pop squares from Scrapbook Adhesive 3L to pop up the title "Egg banner" and then attached the Easter sticker as well.
The cards were made using the Martha Stewart lace border punch and a doily die. The sticker sheet had more and I still have enough to do another page or two. Such great colors and happy springtime images! Enjoy!
