Today I would like to share with you my double page spread which features the Life is Wonderful – July 2015 Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout June for $27 or you can get this stamp set for FREE when you spend AUS $32.50 on full priced stamp sets from the current catalogue. Such great value and its a really uplifting stamp set.
This week my kids were on the front page of the local newspaper and again on page 8 of the paper with the follow up story. So I wanted to do something with the cuttings from the newspaper. I got the My Crush™ Wildwood Assortment as my embellishments on the page. The Assortments have some small journalling boxes, some stickers and some small alphabet stickers, There are also envelopes and little tags to fit inside the envelopes but I didn't use these on my pages. This set will be retiring when the current catalogue ends so be quick to grab this nifty little bargain alongside your Life is wonderful stamp set.
My Crush Wildwood Assortment |
Still using the Chocolate Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. I stamped the "always remember something wonderful is about to happen" stamps onto one of the Journalling boxes (red with the arrow on top) from the My Crush™ Wildwood Assortment.
When adhering my newspaper clippings, I had the portrait photo page be upright and the landscape paper cutting to be landscape (page on the side). Next I stamped the frame in Cranberry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad around the title I created from the alphabet stickers from the My Crush™ Wildwood Assortment.
The "On this Date" card was a journalling box that I cut in half and circled in red pen the date and added the numbers for the year. I added some stickers and embellishments from the Wildwood assortment on a few spaces over the two pages but purposefully left it quite plain.
Remember this great stamp set Life is Wonderful – July 2015 Stamp of the Month is only available throughout July from your Close to My Heart Consultant and you can get this stamp for FREE in July only with a purchase of $32.50 AUS of current regular priced stamp sets.
