An Awesomely Artistic Happiness Chosen

Boy oh Boy, What a Day!!
Not only is the weather getting terribly hot
But my husband is in agony with another wayward Kidney Stone, and is on the cusp of having to go to Accident & Emergency!
He has had 2 previous admissions for renal stones, and still he doesn't drink enough to flush these little blighters through before they get too large!
So time at the doctors yesterday, today and he has a kidney scan booked for Monday to see where the stone has got stuck this time, bless him

So, I am re-using my nurse training to care for him wiht litres and litres of water, pain killers and sympathy as another bout of renal colic grips him
He is now dozing in from of the telly, so I am going to try and sneak into the workshop to have a play

And of course I have a lovely card that I made as part of My Craft Stash's Template Challenge
So out came the following:

Artistically Awesome Stamp Set
Chose Happiness Stamp Set
2015-2017 In Colour Cardstock & Classic Ink Pads
Very Vanilla Cardstock
Basic Rhinestones &
the new Metal Rimmed Pearls
Aren't they do die for, so elegant and so vintage, and so me! he he

If you scroll down today's posting, you will find the product images, Click on these to view the products in more detail


And here is how I made the card
I began by making my A6 Card Base using Mint Macaron Cardstock
Next I trimmed a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock to size and randomly stamped this panel with the flower using Delightful Dijon ink, and the pollen splatter stamp in Watermelon Wonder
Next I trimmed a panel of Tip Top Taupe cardstock to a long, narrower strip and used the Burlap stamp and Tip Top Taupe ink to create a tone on tone effect.
I think this created quite a realistic burlap effect. What do you all think?

Now trim a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock 6 x 6 c,s square and randomly stamp with the pollen splatter stamp using Tip Top Taupe  & Mint Macaron inks.
Mat this onto a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock.
Make the topper using the Chose Happiness Stamp set.

Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock and Tip Top Taupe ink, Punch out the sentiment using the Label Bracket Punch and ink the edges with mint macaron ink and a sponge dauber
Apply a couple of Stampin Dimensionals to the reverse of the label
Next, using Tip Top Taupe ink, stamp the hardwood banner onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, die cut using Banner Framelits, and sponge the wood grain with  Delightful Dijon ink.

Now for that dragonfly.
Stamp her onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Delightful Dijon cardstock and cut out using your Paper Snips,
Add 3 small Basic Rhinestones, and apply a Stampin Dimensional to the back of the Dragonfly
Attach to your card front.
Complete the card using three of those amazing metal rimmed pearls.

Awesome Timeless Elegance Curvy Keepsake Box

Do I have an Awesome box to share with you today
And what is even better, is that it is as easy as 1, 2, 3 ....
Why?
Well that will be because there are only two die cut pieces to make up the box , 
So long as you follow the instructions on the box, you really cannot go wrong.

The easiest tip, is when you are adhering the two pieces of cardstock or paper together,
Make sure the two rounded ends are opposite each other, and the two pointed ends are facing each other, you will be fine!

AND
the box is self sealing too!
AND
The box can be re-opened and re-closed since no adhesives are used for the closure mechanism.

AND

Every paper in this 12" x 12" pack is equally stunning


And here is the modest list of products used in today's make

the sentiment from Happy Happenings Stamp Set,
was stamped onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, using Black Stazon Ink
 and Die Cut using
 Tags & Labels Framelits Dies 

The box was closed using the flaps, 
5/8" Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon was threaded through the handles and tied in a decorative knot.
And finally, I secured the tag with a knot and bow through the handles.

Scrapbooking with Project Life, including a Video of 10 Tips from Betty Higgins

Today I am sharing with you the joy of scrapbooking the  Project Life Way
And it includes a video with tips on recording those everyday moments, so you can make a year book of your own, that you and your friends and family can look back on for many years to come
Since all of Stampin Up!s products are acid & Lignin Free to protect those memories
from the deterioration that can happen with acid containing craft supplies


Why not take a random photo every day
It could be the most mundane of photo's ... examples include photo's of:

your child sleeping
 a family meal
 a special event
Your family pet playing
by the seaside
in the swimming pool
new baby
and the list is endless
Graduation
Learning to ride a bike
& the list of possibilities is endless

Combine these photo's with journalling (words, pictures, lists, receipts, or just a few words) that  explain the moment in time you are documenting
And you can make it as simple or as complex at YOU want it to be!

Here are some of those amazing products that are available from Stampin Up!
There are also some amazing Bundles available too, with a 15% saving (check out the Bundles section of my online store
