Everyday Enchantment day 4

It is day 4 of my homage to Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper.  You can find it on the Clearance Rack for only $4.39 for the pack.

This is a page we made at one of my scrapbook page classes.  Look how beautifully the papers work together, adding color and texture to the scrapbook page.  With only a few embellishments, courtesy of the Big Shot, the page is done!


 
...and that is me with my family, standing on the exact spot where my husband and I got married 10 years before :)

Everyday Enchantment day 3

This week is dedicated to the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper.  I have fallen in love with the way this paper seems to suit any occasion and any colors.

Here is a scrapbook page of my kids playing with their friends on a slip and slide.



 
You can see how the papers are so adaptable, and lend themselves to backgrounds, layers and embellishments... and you can see why it is enchanting :)

Everyday Enchantment

The Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper has me enchanted! At only $4.39 on the clearance rack, you could be enchanted too!  With timeless patterns such as stripes, flowers and beautiful butterflies, this paper is remarkably adaptable.  It is colorful, not too bright, playful, romantic...
So, this week will be dedicated to you, Everyday Enchantment!  Each day this week will showcase a scrapbook page using this fabulous 12 x 12 inch paper pack.

This page is from my high school graduation, and shows my mom and Gammy.  Please note, I did not just graduate from high school- it was many moons ago- but I scrap whatever moves me, whenever the mood strikes.  This is what is meant when you hear, "You do not need to scrap in chronological order."  The page is not even about graduation- it is about the 3 generations in the photo. To keep with the theme, there are 3 embellishments, 3 times on the page.  The In-Color Dahlias and Basic Pearls are available in the Embellishments section of my Stampin' Up! website. The paper pack has so many different patterns- and I love to layer them up! Inking the edges helps the layers stay distinct.



 
So, enjoy a week celebrating Everyday Enchantments Designer Series Paper- chances are, you will become enchanted, too!

Belly Band, you are amazing!

There is something about putting a belly band on a card that makes it really beautiful.
 
Here is the card shut...
 

Slide off the belly band...
 

Open the gate...
 
Oooh and aaah at how much fun that was to open!  Repeat as often as you wish :)

I love the patterns and colors of the Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper.  When I showed this card in a card class recently, one woman turned her papers over and used only the smoky slate and coastal cabana sides of the paper, and stamped in smoky slate on coastal cabana- a completely different look with the same layout, and even the same pieces of designer series paper!

Weekly Deals April 1-8

Have you seen this week's Weekly Deals ?

Well, neither have I!  For those of you who know me, I have truly crawled out from under a rock to join this century in technology.  So, I am trying something new- I am putting this link here while it still shows the previous week's deals in the hopes that it will show the right images when this post goes live, as I have it set on a timer. 

Let's see if it works :)
