Two page layout by Jamie Harder using Stationery Noted

I had so much fun photographing my daughter the other day....she was in a super silly mood and could not stop laughing!  I love those kinds of laughter fits where you laugh till you cry and your stomach aches!  Feels so good!

Two page layouts are a great way to include lots of photos without having to make them much smaller. The photo on my left page is a 4x6 while the three others on the right page are 3x5.

I used the gorgeous stationery noted collection...oh my gosh I love, love, love this collection.  Teresa also manages to include so many beautiful quotes and sentiments into her lines that really add just what I am looking for on my pages.  I knew right away that I wanted to add "Do not let anyone ever dull your sparkle" so I cut that out and stapled it to the left side of my layout:

There are so many fabulous embellishments included in this line.  I think I almost used a little bit of everything:  chipboard (check out that chipboard tag piece - oh how i heart that), stickers, washi tape, die cut border, buttons, brads and enamel dots!

 I hope you enjoy some laughter in your day!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

No. 16 Mini Album by Dedra Long

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a mini album today featuring a mix of the Memories and Stationery Noted Collections. This binder clipboard album was perfect for documenting Shelby's 16th birthday.

I still love the file folders that come with every collection. This one from the Stationery Noted collection became the base of my cover page. Super fun! Oh, and product packaging is so cute these days, don't be afraid to use it when you like it.

We handmade all of her invitations and I had her fill them all out in her handwriting. I know my handwriting has changed since I was 16 and I think she will love seeing her invitations when she is my age. Enamel dots....be still my heart! Who thought this little embellishment could be so awesome!

I'm going to be completely honest here, every time we see a new collection from Teresa I can't wait to see the stamps she designed. It is my most favorite thing. I gotta get better at embossing with stamps like Keisha.

I had her friends write notes to her (the notes turned out to be mini novels).

I loved that this album turned out to be a little more interactive using file folders, pockets and envelopes to hold extra photos and to incorporate memorabilia as well.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Hope your "hump" day is fabulous.

Stationery Noted Mini Album by Yvonne Blair

 Hi everyone...Yvonne here today with a new mini album featuring Stationery Noted.  

This line is absolutely gorgeous and so very versatile to boot.  

I wanted to make a mini for my Mother-in-law where I could put pictures of all the cousins together with Bre, but at the same time focus on Bre.  I will be making books for the boys as well.  

I am giving this to her for her birthday in a few short weeks and cannot wait to see her reaction! wink. 

As you can see in the above and below pictures the front cover is interactive.  

Love that it has a hidden picture underneath the sentiment. 

 This book is put together by folding pages in half and adhering them back to back.  

It is one of my favorite ways to create a mini, because there is no need for rings or wires. 

Using the Polaroid frames was a great way to highlight the pictures.

 All the fun sentiments that Teresa included in this line made it so easy to add some fun thoughts. 

And here is a side view so you can see that the book is chunky but not overly so.

Supplies used:

Stationery Noted papers-Poppies, Flowers, Music, Owl Ledger, Ledgers, Damask and Quotes.

Stationery Noted Sticker sheet, Decorative Brads, Chipboard Elements, Die Cut Borders, Washi Tape, Enamel Dots, Buttons, Corners, sticky notes.

Teresa Collins Xyron Mega Runner 

Other, Bazzill cardstock, chipboard, ribbon, doilies.

Putting Your Book together-Cut your chipboard to 5 3/4  x 11.  Cover one chipboard with Red Poppies 7 1/4 x 12.  I wrapped it like a present. Cover the other piece of chipboard with same size of grey bazzill cardstock.  

Then adhere remaining Poppies paper to the center of cardstock covered chipboard.

 (just to decorate the back cover a bit)  

Cut Owl Ledger and  Damask to 10 3/4 x 10 1/2.  Fold those in half so the length is 10 3/4.  Adhere those back to back. (Don't add adhesive to the front or back sides yet.)

Score remaining sheets at 5 1/4 from left side. Fold.  You will have a 1 1/2" piece left on the right side.  Fold the Flowers paper toward the inside fold.  Adhere this back to back to the backside of Damask.  

Take the Ledger piece and adhere it to the backside of Flowers Paper.  You will have an 1 1/2" piece that you will fold around to the next page after it is adhered.  Fold and adhere Music paper to the back side of Ledger paper.  Now fold the 1 1/2 piece of chevron pattern to the Music page. Fold red diagonal piece toward the inside fold of Music page. 

Take a strip of Grey Cardstock about 1 1/2 x 12 and wrap around spine.  Adhere to the front and back. Now take your chipboard pieces and adhere the book itself to the corresponding covers. 

Now you have the main part of the album put together and you can embellish as seen in pictures or embellish as you wish!  

To create the flap on the front of the book I cut a piece of grey cardstock to 4 1/4 x 12.  Fold that in half to create piece 4 1/4 x 6.  You will want the flap on the top side.  Then it is time to embellish!  

I hope you have been inspired to create a fun place to keep some of your memories!  Have fun crafting! Until next time....

Stationery Noted Frame with Suzanne Sergi

Happy Wednesday! Yesterday, Rachel shared adorable mini frames,  and today I am following with a 5x7 frame I have altered using the Stationery Noted collection. I wanted to create a frame that would serve as home decor inspiration. Perfect for the work office, daughter's room, or your bedroom. A frame that would serve as a reminder to never lose your individual sparkle! 

I removed the glass mat from the frame, so I could add lots of dimension. I first cut a 5x7 mat from bare chipboard. I then covered it with the blue damask paper. I love the Quotes paper, and knew these 3x4 quotes of inspiration would be perfect to use as sentiments. Fabulous to create fast, and simple cards. However, really special to stand alone in a frame. The following quote inspired the framed art. 

Here, you can see that I added a bit more sparkle by adding a layer of diamond dust on top. You can still read the quote, and even more special, can see the added beauty of glitter! I then pulled a silver border from the past Christmas collection to add a small border along the quote card. I also added a 1" strip of the red vertical pattern found on the Music paper. 

What is a frame without a little bling? I used the gorgeous 

This inspiration frame will sit above my computer, and serve as a daily reminder to me! I have lots of personal, and work related goals I would love to achieve. During the challenging times, this will remind me, to never lose sight of what makes me sparkle! 

Have a fabulous day!

A Little Altered Frame Home Decor by Stacy Rodriquez

Hey there everyone, Stacy here with you today for a little altered fun.  I picked up this white fabulous frame at Hobby Lobby and knew just what to do with it.  The Stationery Noted along with all of the goodies that go with this line were simply the perfect fit for this project.  I wanted to make a desktop calendar that was simply to change out the months on.  Let me show you the finished project first.

For this project you can take any frame and open up the back of the frame.  Cut a piece of pattern paper the size of the frame place it in the frame as you would a photo and simply put the back of the frame back on.  Now it's time to decorate the frame which is super easy to do because you simply embellish and decorate right on the glass. 

For the calendar pieces I used SRM Stickers and placed each month on a piece of cardstock.  I love the Polaroid paper from this line so I cut that apart, then attached a month on it's own Polaroid photo.  I placed a Tim Holtz memo pin down with a glue dot behind my big red flower in the corner so whenever the month changes I can simply slide out and switch months. I used the fun chipboard stickers across the top so that in case I was having a moment (or as my daughter calls them "mom moments") I would know what year it was ALL year :) 

Embellishing this was super fun and easy with all of the rockin' embllies with this line.  The fun buttons, flowers, enamel dots....oh just put it all on there!!  Here is a close up of the flowers along the bottom.

Well that is my fun way for you to know what the date is all year long.  Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you have a fabulous one!

Gift tags by Keisha Campbell

Hello, Keisha blogging today! I am sharing a couple of tags I made using the Stationary Noted line.

Making these tags gave me the perfect chance to use a few of my newest dies-like my pinwheel die. I love the fact that it shows both side of the pattern paper at once...and it kind of looks like a bow. 

  birthday tag

1. I first cutout my diecut shapes-I am using a Big Kick - Lifestyle Crafts QuicKutz 4-Inch by 4-Inch Flower Pinwheel Die

2. The pinwheel die-you just have to pull the ends together towards the center. And a brad through the center completes the die.

3. I then layered the pinwheel on top of TCD diecut flower and then a vellum flower cut with (Tim Holtz) flower die

4. I glue the layered pinwheel flower onto the tag

5. I added the flag/banners

6. Then I added the straight pin with sentiment

always & forever tag

1. I cut the shapes using the (2)smallest and the next (2)size up

2. Then I layered the shapes on top of each other with pop dots

3. Next I added the layered shapes to the tag

4. I stamped the ticket and added it to the tag with pop dots

5. I wrapped the gold string around the tag - Spellbinders S4-353 Nestabilities Labels 24 Die Template-for the gray tag with the gold string!

6. Then added the pearls

I hope these tags get your creative juices flowing-I love making tags when I need to kick my mojo in action!

Project Life using Stationery Noted File Folders by Dedra Long

This is my second year doing Project Life and I'm still in love with the process. Quite often I catch my girls and even my husband checking out last year. It really is a priceless moment when that happens.
During the week I was at CHA I noticed I had gathered a lot of memorabilia and I was trying to figure out how I was going to get it all in the one page spread.

Then I remembered Teresa's File Folders that come with all her new collections and it was perfect for fitting my name badge, hotel card and other things inside. I wrapped twine around the file folder to keep it closed. 

The accordion file folder was the perfect solution.
Thanks for stopping by!

Project life fun with Yvonne Blair featuring Stationary Noted

Hi everyone!  Yvonne here to show you a peek inside my Project Life.  I am loving this way of scrapping those everyday photos that don't usually make it into my scrapbook because they aren't "worthy" of a whole layout.  Then they just sit in a pile and collect dust, wink.  So...I am LOVING being able to include them into Project Life.  

 This is the first part of Week 2.  Now, this was really a busy busy week.  CHA was part of week 2 and 3...so it carried over.  LOTS and LOTS of pictures.  I cut a page protector into a 6x12 to include a bunch of random 3x4 pictures from the show. I used a tab punch to divide the days.  

 This was a really fun day because I got to meet my dear friend Lindsay that I have known for years on-line, but finally was able to meet face to face.  Below of course is very special, a picture of Teresa and I.  

 More random pictures from the show. 

 On to week three which was still part of CHA and then some home stuff.  

I can honestly say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the simplicity of Project Life.  

 Here are some close-ups of my weekly cards.  Stationary Noted is PERFECT for adding some fun into Project Life.  I will be using this quite a bit through out the year I'm sure, wink.  

Hope you enjoyed a peek inside my Project Life undertaking.  I am really excited to follow this through for the year!  Hope you have a great week. Don't forget to leave a comment, you might just win a prize!!!
