Special Day
Today I am sharing Layout 1 from the Wildflower Birthday Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. Once again I have had the Designer Series Paper cut and layered onto the pages just waiting for the right photos. I decided to attach some photos from Elyssa’s third birthday. To fit the photos I wanted onto the page, I added an extra photo to the second page.
I also added a flower and leaf to the upper right hand corner of the second page and the “hooray” strips across the bottom of both pages. I love how you can take the pages and change them up a bit to make them your own. This Workshop Kit is no longer available, however the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper can still be purchased.
I am loving these Kits and cannot wait until new kits are released. Having my pages ready to add the photos makes memory keeping so much easier and so much quicker.

Everyday Birthday
For my card today I embossed Basic White card using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. I did leave about an inch at the top of the panel which I didn’t emboss. I stamped three different flowers from the Everyday You & Me stamp set onto Basic White card using Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss ink. I cut out the flowers using the co-ordinating Everyday You & Me Dies. I stamped both leaf images from the Everyday You & Me stamp set onto Basic White card using Mossy Meadow ink.
I cut out the leaves using the co-ordinating Everyday You & Me Dies. I attached the flowers along the top of the embossing using dimensionals and tucked the leaves underneath. I also added a Basic Rhinestone to the centre of each flower. I stamped “happy birthday” from The Right Words stamp set onto Basic White card using Gorgeous Grape ink.
I cut out the greeting using one of the banners from the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. I attached a piece of Gorgeous Grape to the back of the greeting before attaching it to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I added three flowers and two sets of leaves to the lower left hand corner of Basic White card. I love how pretty these colours are together. The colours sit side by side on the Color Coach and work beautifully together.

More Wonderful
When I posted my Facebook Live using the Most Wonderful stamp set, I wanted to show how the stamps fit together and could be stamped altogether if needed. So, I stamped a piece of Basic White card using all the stamps from the stamp set at the one time onto Basic White card using Old Olive ink. I found it lying on my desk when I was cleaning up and decided to create a card using the panel. I coloured the leaves using the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend as I did with the cards in my Facebook Live.
I trimmed the stamped panel down and attached it to Gold Foil card before attaching it to scored and folded Real Red card. I stamped the greeting onto Basic White card using Real Red ink and cut it out using one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
I attached the greeting to a piece of Gold Foil which I cut using a slightly large Spotlight on Nature Die. The whole panel s attached to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped the lower border image from the Most Wonderful stamp set onto the bottom of Basic White card using Old Olive ink. I coloured the leaves using the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend before attaching the panel to the inside of the card base. I really love the different ways that you can use this stamp set.

Cape Otway
Today’s page shows off a couple of photos from our visit to Cape Otway on the Great Ocean Road. I really loved this place. I used a layout I created using the template from the 1, 2, 3 Layout Class. I attached the pieces of retired Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to White Willow 12″ x 12″ card. I attached the photos on the left hand page to Night of Navy card before attaching them to the page.
I attached the photos on the right hand page without card mats, however, I did use two 4″ x 3″ photos in the centre instead of one 4″ x 6″ photos. The title is cut from Night of Navy card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies. I did add Adhesive Sheet to the back of the card before I cut out the letters to make it easier to attach them to the page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and attached it to Night of Navy card before attaching it to my right hand page. I cut Mossy Meadow card using the double tree die from the Scenic Adventure Dies.
I stamped a greeting using the stamp from the Weekend Adventure stamp set onto the left hand page next to the trees using Night of Navy ink. I also stamped the bird from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set three times onto the left hand page using Night of Navy ink. I added the second set of trees beside the title on the right hand page. Another page I am truly happy with. I am slowly working my way through the photos for our amazing road trip on the Great Ocean Road.

Paper Hug
I created this card whilst exploring the ways to use the Paper Tags Bundle. I also wanted to use the second pack of Designer Series Paper from the Botanical Textures Suite. I attached three pieces of Botanical Textures 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to the bottom of Basic White card. All cut from the same paper but I just reversed the paper for the centre panel. I attached a strip of Basic Black card across the top of the Designer Series Paper before attaching the panel to scored and folded Basic Black card.
I stamped the greeting from the Paper Tags stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The greeting is cut out using one of the Paper Tags Dies. I cut Basic Black card using another of the Paper Tags Dies.
The two dies are attached together before being attached to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card. I also stamped another greeting from the Paper Tags stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I love how pretty this card is even though it is all Black and White. This paper is truly gorgeous and I know that I am going to find lots of ways to use is.

Amazing Memories
Today’s pages show off some photos from our day trip from Torquay to Wye River on the Great Ocean Road. The views along the Great Ocean Road are amazing and at every turn there is something new to see. I am not sure what Designer Series Paper was used on this page as I cut the paper a while back to create two different pages. I also used Night of Navy 12″ x 12″ card (retired) on this page which I embossed with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (last chance). You can see that I have had these pages ready for a while because I only create with current products. My base pages are White Willow 12″ x 12″ card.
I attached most of my photos to Basic White card but the two photos on the upper right hand side of the second page are attached to Night of Navy card. The layout I used had all 4″ x 6″ or 6″ x 4″ photos but I decided to add a few more and used 3″ x 4″ and 4″ x 3″ photos instead on the right hand page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and attached it to Night of Navy card before attaching it to the left hand page. I cut “memories” from Night of Navy card using the Mini Alphabet Dies and stamped “amazing” from the Scenic Adventures stamp set using Night of Navy ink.
I inked the mountain/sea image from the Scenic Adventures stamp set using Mossy Meadow and Night of Navy ink and stamped it onto the right hand page. I die cut Mossy Meadow and Cajun Craze card using the mountain dies from the Scenic Adventures Dies and attached them beside the title. I stamped “happy” and “memories” from the retired Love This Moment stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I punched out the greeting using the Modern Oval Punch and attached it to the right hand page. I am really happy with my pages and it makes me smile to remember how much fun we had on this road trip.

This is just the right kind of card for someone like my Dad who always jumped in to build or fix something for me.

Marengo
Today’s page shows off some photos from Marengo on our trip along the Great Ocean Road last year. I used a 1, 2, 3 Layout to create the page using one piece of Woven Textures 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. I sponged the edges of the Designer Series Paper pieces with Early Espresso ink before attaching them to White Willow 12″ x 12″ pages. I attached the photos on the right page directly to the White Willow card but I added an Early Espresso card mat for the photos on the left page. I cut the title from Early Espresso card using the Alphabet A La Mode dies. I did have Adhesive Sheet on the back of the card so that it was easier to attach them to my left hand page.
I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and cut it out using one of the Textured Notes Dies. I layered the journaling onto Early Espresso card cut using a slightly larger Textured Notes Die. I die cut Mossy Meadow card three times using the seaweed die from the retired Beauty of the Deep Dies. I die cut some of the sand dollars from the Crumb Cake card using the retired Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder. I stamped a couple of sand dollars using the images from the retired Seaside Wishes stamp set onto Basic White card using Pretty in Pink ink, cutting them out using the Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder.
I stamped the greeting from the Tags to Go stamp set onto Basic White card using Early Espresso ink. I cut out the greeting using the Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder. I also stamped one large and two small starfish images onto Basic White card using Balmy Blue ink. The starfish were cut out using the co-ordinating Seaside Wishes Dies. I layered the die cut images into clusters to add to my pages. I love how this turned out, showing off the beautiful views perfectly. You can find Noreen Smith’s 1, 2, 3 Layouts here on You Tube.
