A little bit of summer Merry!

I know it is August, so I cannot even use the Christmas in July idea, but I am loving the Snow Haven Paper Pack from the new Idea Book!  It is wintery, and even for an Island girl like me, who rarely sees snow, it is fun to use for winter and Christmas themed projects!  Right now I am working on cards for Christmas 

(which doesn't mean I will actually send them- lol!).

SnowHaven has a great Workshop on the Go kit (Find it here!) that comes with supplies and instructions to make 5 each of 3 different card designs.

 I chose to make 3 each of the included card ideas, and then used the leftovers plus a few scraps
from the larger Paper Pack (here) for a few more projects. 

 First, the included card designs:

Everything you need is included (except your own ink - event the stamp set is provided!)- just follow the cutting guide and you can have 15 cards ready in about an hour or so ( depending on your crafting experience!).  Easy and fun!  

I wanted to play a bit, so I made 9 cards and then a couple of extra projects:

For these I used an additional stamp set - it is a Hostess only set from the new Idea Book called Be Jolly!

(If you want one of your own, please contact me to arrange a gathering where you can earn free products!)

I also used a 6x6 inch square from two additional papers from the paper pack top complete these and

 one more little project which I will be posting here tomorrow - so check back -

 it is really cute and fun - I promise!!

Happy Day everyone!

A little bit country!

We are getting close to the end of this catalogue so I want to highlight a paper pack that will not be available as of the end of this month!  It is called Jubilee, and is perfect for those western, fair, 4H and otherwise country layouts (like Stampede my Alberta friends!!)

Here are a couple of layouts made with the Jubilee Workshop on the Go, and the Jubilee Complements pack.  The WOTG comes with supplies (including a cute stamp set!) and  instructions for two 2 page layouts, but I decided to do my own thing!

Here is layout number 1:

 It is a single layout ready for photos from our Fall Fair, based on a sketch from Page Maps.

The second layout is a double layout that also incorporates one of my favourite stamp sets D1555 All the Details - making banners for your pages is SO easy with this set!!

This layout is really quick and easy - just cut a variety of 3x3 squares, trim your photos to 3 inches wide and you are good to go! Stamp the banners in coordinating colours and you are done! This would work equally well with landscape photos - and don't forget to leave space for journaling!!  I added a few extra embellishments on this, but you don't need to - or you can dig through your stash to find a few things that would work!!  That is what I did!!

The final layout is another double - quick and easy!!  

If you like this paper pack - it is still available until the end of the month, although supplies

 are limited and once it is gone, it is gone!

Next up I will have some sneak peeks from the new catalogue available in August!  In the meantime:

Happy Day Everyone!
