Do you have trouble with portrait pictures in your scrapbook pages? I do! I find it hard to mix them into my Project Life scrapbooks. But a little planning before printing your pictures can help make it easier. This page uses Design 4 from Variety Pack 1.

These Balloon dies are great for the inside of a card as a pop-up feature but they work well on card fronts as well! The Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies have these cool balloon cut outs. It's best to adhere them using the Fine-tip glue.

The above 2 samples were designed by Lisa Henderson. She used a piece of my fav design found in the Party Animal Designer Series Paper - the Emerald Green with animals wearing party hats! The 3D item has a sucker in it!

I was at work early last week and took some stamping with me to pass the time. A neat trick for water colouring using the Stampin' Write Markers is to put colour from the marker onto a clear block and then pick up the colour with an Aquapainter to colour the line image.



Supplies
Stamps: Perfect Mix
Colours: Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine, Stitched Shapes framelits, Stampin' Dimensionals, Aquapainters

The Ferris wheel design of one of the sheets made me think of sunrays. A perfect fit for these pictures from our walk in Lemoine's Point.


These adorable little packages are 1" boxes, but smushed so that a Peppermint Patty can fit inside!

When we picked the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack for February's Crop in support for Epilepsy Canada I knew the paper would work so well with pictures from Pizza Hut! And the monster stamp from Yummy in My Tummy is a perfect addition. The Project Life page used is Design 2 from the Variety Pack 1.

Lisa Henderson created this adorable Little Monster scrapbook page with adorable pictures of her son. Even though the Designer Series Paper Stacks are 6"x6" you can put 2 together to create a 12" long panel for your pages!

And these were the Thank You gifts we gave out to all the attendees at Saturday's crop! Hersey nuggets are inside each mailbox!
