shanna noel: Stamp inspiration

I love it when you see a stamp set and feel total inspiration for the set as a whole. When I saw the Unforgettable set that came into the shop for Maggie Holmes 30 days of me class, I knew I could have a TON of fun with it and use it over and over again! I pulled out my favorite color theory pads (Red Well | Blush Crush | Coral Bay | Orange County ) and a couple pieces of paper I have been wanting to work with (sigh that bird paper!)

I also used the stamps ( & staz-on ink) to use as a guide to cut out hearts from the papers. This way I could cut just a little beyond the stamp and the paper would make a perfect frame for the heart.

I really saw this page coming together like a quilt so I just started pieces it together from top left working my way around the page. Making sure to pay attention to balance things like color and use of paper & stamps. I didn't worry to much about it being "perfect" since the stamps lend themselves to a whimsical look! :)

I used my journaling pen to doodle little frames around any empty spaces I had. I also decided to add a little letter on the back for the girls just documenting a couple thoughts I have had about them as they start school!
