LM 447 - Stamp Your Stash - Stamp Free For All

This month at Lasting Memories, we are stamping on our layouts.  This week, our challenge is a free for all. I am REALLY loving using stamps on my layouts and need to continue to do it after this month's challenges are done!

I have yet another Christmas layout.  I am still scrapping last Christmas.  Plus, Christmas layouts are my absolute favorite thing to create.  I am working to bash some of my Christmas stash too.

I have a Stampin' Up stamp set with ugly sweaters and I had the perfect photos.  Every year, I host an ugly sweater party at the bar where I bartend.  This year was our 5th annual event.  

I stamped the sweaters on white cardstock and colored them in using my Stampin Up markers.  I decided to create a tree out of them and I am happy with how this layout turned out.

Supplies:

The patterned paper is OLD.  I think it's a My Minds Eye collection, but the branding strips were already cut off

Pebbles Cozy & Bright Collection (sloth and deer)

Jolees Boutique Parcel Collection (Star, bow and holly)

LM 447 - Stamp Your Stash - Sentiment Stamps

This month at Lasting Memories, we are stamping on our layouts.  This week, our challenge is to use a sentiment stamp.

I have been dying to scrapbook this adorable photo of my kitten, Oliver.  He was laying in front of my Christmas pillow looking so cute.

It perfectly matched a Merry Christmas sentiment stamp that I got from Stampin' Up several years ago:

LM 446 - Stamp Your Stash - Tiny Stamps

This month at Lasting Memories, we are using our stamps.  This week, our challenge is to use tiny stamps multiple times on your layout. 

I had this layout in my head since I saw this Hip Kit Club cut file.  My scrappy friend Ashley has been making some awesome shaker pockets on her layouts and I had to make one with this snow globe!

My BFF lives on the other side of the country in Los Angeles (I'm in Philly).  She comes home every Christmas and we spend as much time as possible together.  This photo was taken two days after Christmas.  We went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant and then took this photo outside with a lighted tree.

Supplies:

I used the December 2018 Kit from Hip Kit Club

LM 445 - Stamp Your Stash - Patterned Stamps

This month at Lasting Memories, we are stamping on our layouts.  This week, our challenge is to use patterned stamps on our layouts. I am REALLY loving using stamps on my layouts and need to continue to do it after this month's challenges are done!

My parents both turned 65 in the last few months.  In the beginning of December, we went out to dinner to celebrate my Dad's birthday.  This picture is of my parents, my husband and I.  The colors clashed with this collection that I wanted to use, so I made it black and white.  I rarely use black and white photos, but I LOVE how this layout turned out.  I need to do this more often!

Patterned Paper, die cut stars, tag - Jillybean Soup Cucumber Soup Collection 

Stampin Up Cardstock
