Memory keeping with ephemera packs

I recently purchased the Joyful images ephemera pack from Stampin’ Up! and I used it to create a layout for my Memories and More album.

There were so many printed and die cut images to choose from. Each pack contains 8 sheets of 4 different designs.

I combined a few images together to create filler cards for the pockets in my Christmas Memories and More album.

I love the touch of gold on some of the images. Some images came cut with a white border and some without. I used both in my layout.

The words I used were from the Peaceful Season stamp set and inked with Garden Green ink to match the card and photo mats.

Did you notice the Real Red and Cherry Cobbler banners on the photo above? They lay across two pockets so I had to adhere them to the outside. Have you ever done this? Do you think it’s okay or do you prefer to have everything adhered down and safely contained inside the pockets?

Gratitude Album

The practice of daily gratitude is something that I am passionate about. I have started a gratitude album to record (both in photos and words), things that I am thankful for.

Products used for my title page are Country Woods and Take to the Sky DSP., Simply Zinnia bundle, Wink of Stella pen and clear embossing powder.

To make the Gratitude label, I used sticky tape to make of the words I didn’t want so that I just had the word Gratitude. I inked it in versamark ink, then inked again into navy ink before stamping onto my piece of DSP. I used clear embossing powder. The result is a navy word with a nice raised shine. Not easy to see in the photo. I also used Wink of Stella (glitter pen) on the little stars in the middle of the flowers.

You will notice I coloured the leaves blue. I didn’t want to add a green into my page but that’s the good thing about being creative. You can do it the way you want.

If you feel like leaving a comment, tell me how you “break the rules” when you create.
