Endless Summer Fun

Hi Crafty Friends,
Have you gotten on the postage die band wagon? I have! I am using it on a scrapbook page. Scrap Diva Designs has a NEW Postage Stamp Card Base Die that I used as a frame for my scrapbook page photos. My page features the Echo Park Groovy Summer Collection that is in store now! I love the ephemera in this collection as you can see. Use code MEGHANKENNIHAN with the links above to get 10% off!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite summer activity?
A: Me? Having my brother and his kiddos in from Ireland

 

Preschool Me

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have been helping my parents clean out their garage and I'm finding all these old photos I just had to scrapbook. This is my identical twin and my preschool pictures! I used Scrap Diva Designs NEW May Release 5x8 Scalloped Rectangle Dies to frame my photos and sentiment. I LOVE how this set allows you to layer a stitched rectangle with a scallop border.

Goofy Gumballs

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am so excited for the Scrap Diva Designs May Release! You can shop the release TODAY! I am showing off the NEW Scrap Diva Designs Gumball Mini Album and Echo Park Groovy Summer Collection Kit.

Mermaizing

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by The Greeting Farm Challenge Rule of Three and Try a Sketch On Tuesday #694. My card features The Greeting Farm Mermaid Anya 2 and Jaded Blossom Shells Stencil with Thermoweb Colors in Harmony Pink DecoFoil. I used THREE enamel dots in teal in the left upper corner, right bottom corner, and in her starfish bow. It's for my niece's birthday, she loves mermaids.
