Stamp inspiration | Unforgettable

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!

I love how this page came together and I can't wait to use this stamp set over and over again on my pages! I hope you have an amazing day!!

Make a Mini with Maggie Holmes

Do you have those people in your life that inspire you to see the world in a different way? Maggie is one of those people for me. I love her vintage inspired style and the dreamy look her projects have!

I love what Maggie did with the Bluegrass Farms Kits, her eye for color always draws me in. 

Remember what I said about dreamy? She rocked it with Office Hours as well!

Now is YOUR chance to "sit" in class with this innovative artist and soak all this up in her new MINI BOOK workshop! Studio Calico has done an amazing job bringing us a series of wonderful and inspiring mini book mini workshops and I just adore them!

I was super excited when Maggie asked me to design the printables for this class, she wanted something with her signature vintage touch and let me tell you.... I had so much fun creating them!

The amazing Marcy Penny made these adorable cuts for the class as well! 

I also wanted to give you a little heads up to be sure to pick up the Excalibur add-on with the May reveal! It is one of my faves this month, the alpha and the ribbon are seriously CRAZY fun! 

This class is also a part of the Mini Workshop bundle, if you haven't already picked that up you have until May 31st to get in on this deal! 4 workshops for one low deal from 4 inspiring teachers!

Let's face the facts. There is just something special about mini books, they are a little treasure that only we know the true value of. They are are pleasure to make and just make you feel good when you complete one and can hold it in your hand as your flip thorugh the memories. 

Maggie's mini albums have a little touch of magic in them and now is your chance to join her in making a little of your own magic! I can't wait to see what you do with it!
