Hannah's Travel Journal

I worked on this journal for Hannah on Sunday, when I should've been working on my Convention swaps! I love how it turned out, though, and I know she will love it. Hannah loves to doodle, so I included several "note pads" that were pieces of lined designer paper stapled together.




The chipboard suitcase book is from the Spring Mini, I think...but, this "TO DIE FOR" Love Letter Designer Series Paper pack is in the new catty....I LOVE IT! The DSP led me to use Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Crumb Cake on my project. What gorgeous colors together....so LOVEly!



I used tons of Irridescent Ice & Heat & Stick embossing powder along with three colors of Chunky Glitter...my girl loves BLING!



The ribbons I used were some old Riding Hood Red Taffeta, narrow Basic Black taffeta, Black Hemp Twine & some old Twill Roping. The Sentimental Journey stamp set was perfect with the airplane & suitcase images as well as the compass and journal words.



Thanks for stopping by! Oh, and if you ever fly Delta and find some Red glitter...that's Hannah leaving a little love behind:)

Journey ~ Sentimental Journey Sneak Peek

Here is a swap card that I made recently to trade with a group of fabulously talentened stampers. GO QC Swappers! I just received my package of swaps in the mail yesterday and have loads of new ideas to share...coming soon!

I used the Sentimental Journey stamp set and coordinating designer series paper for this one. Notice the textured background? That's a brand new embossing folder, too! Tomorrow is the debut of our new Summer Mini Catalog that houses these products and many others!

Sentimental Journey Sneak Peek

I made this little gift set for my mom who will be flying out to Salt Lake City with me this summer when I go to attend Stampin' Up! convention! I'm super excited to go and even more excited that Mom and my daughter Hannah will be travelling with me:) By day, I'll be stamping by day with thousands of other demonstrators while Mom and Hannah will shop and maybe do a little site-seeing.



The Embellish Parties Color Challenge using Red, Black, Kraft & White was the inspiration for theme and color of my project, while the MOJO Monday Sketch Challenge #134 was the layout inspiration of my card with a little carry-over to the favor.





The main image and sentiment is from the brand-new stamp set called Sentimental Journey, which will become available for customer purchase on May 1st. It's a great set to make masculine cards with...and what's even better is the stamp set has it's very own pack of coordinating Sentimental Journey Designer Series Paper.



I'll be making up some swaps to mail off this weekend using this set, too...so stay tuned for more Sentimental Journey projects to come:)



The favor was die cut from the Fancy Favor Bigz XL Die and stamped using the "pad to paper" technique to give it some texture.



Now it's your turn to get sentimental and make a goodie for someone special:)
