Wolf Pack meets Game of Thrones

If you are a big fan of Game Of Thrones and want to record it in your scrapbooks then the
Heidi Swapp Wolf Pack collection is the perfect collection to use! The subtle masculine colours and designs fit the theme perfectly. I couldn't wait to record my feelings about my favourite TV show!

I created a grid style layout with my photos on the Wander Double Sided pattern paper.! I then added some of the puffy stickers and stamps from the collection in and around my photos.

I added one of the adhesive badges for added texture to the top of my layout.

I also added a strip of washi tape from the collection across the bottom of my layout to hide a strip of pattern paper that didn't suit the theme of my layout.

Aladdin printable for my Heidi Swapp Memory Planner

I am so excited to head to the movies this weekend to see the new Aladdin movie. The original movie has been a favourite of mine since it first came out so I am interested to see how this one will compare. Not to mention I am a huge Will Smith fan !! To celebrate I wanted to create a special page divider in my Heidi Swapp Memory Planner. I thought what better way than with a touch of Minc foil!

I created this printable with a fun take on my favourite song " Friend Like me". Everyone needs a friend like a Genie right!

I printed it out onto some vellum using my Laser printer and then sent it through my Minc machine with some of the New Gold Star Minc foil. I then used the Heidi Swapp 6 hole punch to punch the holes and added it straight into my Memory Planner. I love the way it looks!

If you would like a copy of the printable for yourself just download the printable below and save it to your computer!

See you at the movies!

Altenew May 2019 Blog Hop

I am thrilled to be joining Altenew this month for another fabulous release of gorgeousness. Before I get to the projects I created, check out all the new releases right here in their shop.
Aren't the new goodies just delish. I am so excited to be joining all the lovely ladies on the hop - be sure to check out all the links (below) to visit them all and be in the chance to win a fabulous prize.

I am sharing two cards today.
The first card using the Basic Blooms and Die stencil.

I layered up my warm coloured inks for the petals for a sunshiny feel to my card. I then used the matching die to cut out each stamped flower, layering them with foam tape for extra dimension on the front of the card.

I then stamped a couple of the sentiments from the Basic Blooms stamp set onto white cardstock and trimmed them out and added them to my card.

For my second card I used the beautiful Dare To Dream Stamp set.

The patterns reminded me of Aegean designs so I took some of my cool coloured ink pads and stamped for the the designs onto white cardstock. I then trimmed out each stamped image.

I added them in a grid design on my cardstock, popping them up with foam tape for extra dimension. I added my sentiments using the Basic Blooms sentiments.

I hope I have inspired you with some of the gorgeous new stamps. Be sure to head to the lovely
