Heather and I made 13 of these pages because Heather is part of a scrapbook exchange. With this exchange they get together every three months (Girls Night) and they each get one page from everyone else. It is really nice because she gets fresh ideas and has a bunch of pages that she just needs to add the pictures.

This layout was a lot of fun and even better when we found these pictures or our kids clowning around. We used DCWV’s the Kidlet Stack because it had this great paper that we thought liked like the circus. We also used a lot of bling because when we got it done it just felt like it was missing something, I am sure you have done that before so if that ever happens just grab some rhinestones from Want2Scrap and it can really finish off a layout.

Heather loves this exchange because she gets a lot of pages out of it, a girls night out, and it keeps her scrapbooking. If you don’t do something like this just find a few friends that scrapbook and see if they would like to do it and you will be surprised how quickly it will grow.

They say if your married in June, you’re a bride all your life, so why not create a card that can be a keepsake for life! After all, we make cards because we love it and we want the recipient to love it too!
You can use your own color scheme to even match the brides colors if you choose, but I really wanted to use the brown patterned paper, and loved it with the blue.  I thought it looked rich and elegant.

A Little Note by Hero Arts is just what you need. The pre-decorated cards allow you to take about 10 seconds to add a stamp and you’re on your way. You can use 4 different messages with that same card, which is a beautiful thing when you’re in a hurry for a all-occasion card. These are very self explanatory, so I made one card with just the stamp:

I also wanted to spruce it up a little and add some embellishments, so I stuck with coordinating paper colors and the adorable American Craft Dear Lizzy Ribbon (which made all the difference). It’s amazing how much the cute-ness factor increases with just a little ribbon!

I also wanted to do a card with some dies, so I took out the second love of my life, Spellbinders Blossom Five, and added it to a birthday card I’ve needed to make for weeks. All four of these cards took me about 10 mintues. SO easy!
