Were you aware that our hostesses have access to an exclusive line of stamp sets? They are always gorgeous and highly sought after but are only available to this very special group. One of my current favourite sets is “She’s a Wildflower.” I love the floral background image and all the beautiful things you can create with it. Below are some cards set to inspire you. If they inspire you to get host a party just message me- you can do an in-home party or an online one through facebook. Both options are a lot of fun and both will qualify you to earn this stamp set.

Mixing it up: Sweet Girl and Into the Wild

Have you taken a good look at these two fantastic paper suites? Sweet Girl and Into the Wild seem to be the perfect collections- one for girls and one for boys. This is, in fact, only at first glance. As you look closer at these collections you will see that they can be used for LOTS of different things and also perfectly complement each other- the colours, accents and accessories all coordinate. When combined- this can give you endless possibilities!

Scrapbook and Cards Today put out a summer sketch call – I love these opportunities to try something new and share all of the great product available to me. It also gives me an excuse to catch up on my own crafting! I started with their two-page sketches (but may go back to try out some of the cards and single page layouts). After going through photos I settled on finishing my quick trip to Alberta last year. The colours in these photos coordinated really well with the Sweet Girl and Into the Wild collections.

This first layout uses papers from the Into the Wild collection- lots of outdoorsy colours that worked really well with the photos I had selected. I used parts of the complements and the cut apart sheet to add some ‘extra’ to my layout. My fav part has to be the mountains- these are a mix of the paper, the cut apart sheet and a complement. Layered together they add the perfect accent!

Now here is my second layout. A very similar colour scheme BUT this was done using the Sweet Girl paper. I love the green and wood grain of the papers. The complements used on this layout come from both Into the Wild and Sweet Girl- remember, all the colours coordinate so you can just use what works for your layout!

If you haven’t used these papers yet then I encourage you to get them out and start crafting. I would also love to see what you have created so please, feel free to post your projects in the comments below.
