With Easter fast approaching, make sure to create a few layouts ahead of time to make saving those memories easier! Then you know whether you need landscape or portrait photos to put onto your pages when you are snapping cute photos Easter weekend.

Have you used a sketch before to create a card or scrapbook layout? Some sketches will have dimensions provided, like mine above, while others won't. You can peruse the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue for card designs. These won't have sizes but you can use any catalogues for inspiration. Perhaps you'll discover a new project design or even a colour combination that you can try. 
The penguin image from Stampin' Up!'s Penguin Place stamp set is adorable! And is the star of these Penguin Place Christmas Ornaments. Pair the stamp set and Penguin punch with Basic White and Smoky Slate cardstock, the Silver Foil Specialty pack and half of a plastic ball ornament, you can make these cute ornaments for your tree. If you wanted, you could fill some of the ornament with glitter or fake snow. I thought of it but didn't have either on hand. Or you could create this ornament without the plastic ornament piece itself. Since the plastic ornament has the hole for the ribbon you will need to either punch a small hole to thread the ribbon through or glue the ribbon to the backside of the scalloped circle.

Welcome to November's Global Stamping Friends blog hop. Today we are sharing projects with a snowflake theme and the best snowflake item in the Jul-Dec Mini Catalogue is the Peaceful Place Specialty designer series paper. The gorgeous metallic accents in this pack of paper makes this card pop!

Welcome! For April's Stampin' Dreams blog hop we are celebrating mothers with our projects. A perfect reason to create some Mother's Day cards.
Using the retiring Peony Garden designer series paper made it easy to create these very elegant cards. This pack of paper uses Petal Pink, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Basic White along with flower and pattern designs.
Adding a sentiment from a stamp set that has a variety of sentiments, like the Happy Mother's Day image from the retiring Strong & Beautiful stamp set, gives you the option of creating cards for many different occasions.

Each week on Thursdays I will share a video on how to create a project. This video will be available on my YouTube channel and shared on Thursday's blog post with more details about that project. See today's video below or you can watch it on my YouTube channel:

Hello and welcome to Facebook Thursday! Every week I pick a product to create at least one project and show you how to create it during a Facebook Live. This week I've used the Sweet Little Valentine Cards & More with the 6" x 8" pocket pages to create an adorable 2 page layout of Griffin. The Sweet Little Valentine's Cards & More can create 10 cards and includes envelopes. The finished card size is 4.25" x 3.25" and the die cut card fronts are 3" x 4". This makes these perfect for pocket pages! Scroll down to view the list of products used and for today's Facebook live video and link.

Did you see my video that I shared over on my Facebook page on Sunday where I talked about how to use my online store to search by colours? Slip over here to view it: https://www.facebook.com/FromWhereIStamp/posts/10157568087381611. The 2nd part of the video shows how I searched for the pattern paper and then searched by Pool Party. My card today uses one of the pattern paper packs I found during the search - the Whale Of A Time designer series paper. At first glance the Whale Done stamp set doesn't look like a Valentine's Day kind of stamp but it have this awesome saying "My Love for you is bigger than the ocean" and the cute little heart stamp that fit so well for this theme. The jellyfish were stamped twice, once in Coastal Cabana and the second time with Pool Party.
 
This week the projects, starting with Sunday's post, I'm sharing with you all have one thing in common? Any ideas on what it could be? Stick around for Thursday and Saturday's posts to have more clues! Would love for you to leave me a comment if you've figured it out already.
