8 Weeks Until Christmas - Make a Memory kit - video tutorial

Today I am going to show you a kit that will make a great Christmas gift for all of your scrapbooking friends.  OR - you can make several gifts for your friends and family: just choose a favorite photo or two, follow the directions in the kit to make a page, and then frame it!  What a unique and thoughful gift!

It's the Make a Memory kit from Stampin' Up! - an online exclusive product that you may have missed if you only shop from our catalogs.

In the video below, I show you the contents of the kit - and several layouts I made using the supplies in the kit.  I did add some additional card stock, ribbon, and embellishments to complete some of my pages.  But this kit includes A LOT of "extras" to help you make great pages.  Follow the directions - or get creative and do your own thing!

Below are some of the other layouts I made with this kit.  

My niece's wedding day:

 

My niece's bridal shower:

A day at the ball park - with the  Savannah Bananas:

Our family's "Spring Christmas" - where we take a trip and celebrate all of our birthdays at the same time!  

A page for about my son and a page about my daughter:

Two special days with my husband:

If you would like any information about the details on these pages, please send me an email.  If you are local to me, I would love for you to come over some time and I'll help you design pages for your photos!  This kit is available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST - so be sure to get it now, if you like it as much as I do!

Snow Day

We are expecting to get a major snow storm today in southeastern Virginia, so I thought it would be the perfect day to share the Snow Day Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin' Up!  This kit includes card stock, designer paper, and a sticker sheet.  It makes THREE 2-page (12x12) layouts, with supplies left over to use on other projects.  Detailed instructions are included for how to cut the paper and how to assemble the pages.  I wanted to see how easy it was to follow the directions - so, for the most part, I followed the directions as given.   I added some coordinating card and changed the photo layouts a bit - mostly because I wanted to add more photos than suggested.  I still need to add journaling to the pages - and there is plenty of room for that.

This scrapbooking kit features "sponging"  - which adds some interest and depth to the pages.  Look closely and you can see where I sponged Pool Party ink on to the white cardstock - behind the snow flake stickers.

Below is another layout from the kit - again, I added extra cardstock and photos to my pages - and I will add a journaling box in that red area on the right.

Below is the third layout from the kit.  I haven't added photos to these pages yet.  Maybe I will have snow Snow Day photos from today's snow - to create a fun page!

Here are some of the products I used to complete my pages.  Click on any image for more information or to add it to your shopping bag.

Your First Sneak Peek

Here is your first sneak peek (at least from me) at products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog from Stampin' Up!  This catalog will go "LIVE" on Tuesday, January 5th.  My Sister and I are counting down to the new catalog in our new Facebook Group,  2 Sisters Stamping.  Please join the group to see some of the new products and the projects we have made with them.  Have fun and make new friends, as we countdown to the New Year and to the New Catalog.  We are giving away daily prizes - and TWO grand prizes - $25 gift certificates towards a Stampin' Up! purchase!  

I will be feautring the Sand & Sea Suite of products on December 31 in the FB group.  This suite features an awesome stamp set with coordinating dies and a coordinating embossing folder! This was my first MUST HAVE stamp set, when I saw the new catalog.  I've made several cards - and am excited to have made this scrapbook using some of the products from this suite of products.

Scrapbooking was my #1 hobby for many years - but when I became a Stamipin' Up! demonstrator (almost 14 years ago!) - scrapbooking took a back seat as I started to enjoy card making and the satisfaction of FINISHING projects - and then sending them on their way to bless somebody else!

A few years ago I started attending weekend scrapbooking retreats with my sister - and now I'm excited to finally be making progress towards finishing my family scrapbooks.  One of my goals this year will be to feature more scrapbook pages on my blog - using Stampin' Up! products of course.

Please be sure to join the 2 Sisters Stamping facebook group by CLICKING HERE.  With the launch of the new catalog, we will also have our best sale of the year: Sale-a-bration.  Earn free stamp sets and Designer Series Paper with a qualifiying order.  I will post more info here on my blog - but if you join the FB group - you can get sneak peeks of the Sale-a-bration items, too.  Hope to see you over there!

Thanks for stopping by!

I Scrapped!

When I discovered Stampin' Up! (around 8 years ago) my scrap booking took a back seat.  I still take photos with scrapbook pages in mind - but it has been awhile since I really sat down and worked on my scrapbooks.  

A few months ago a woman at church asked me if I would help her make a scrapbook.  She wanted to record some highlights of her husband's career in the Marines.   Below are some of the completed pages.

I used Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, and Crumb Cake throughout the album. I also used some non Stampin' Up! "Americana" patterned paper on some of the pages.  I know these pages are simple - but she and her husband were thrilled with the results.

Working on this scrapbook made we want to get back to working on some of my family albums - including one for my own husband's 30 year Navy career!
