If you are familiar with my blog or my work then you will know that stamping isn't exactly a go-to technique for me. I have done stamping for sure! But just not on a regular basis. Well this last year (maybe a little less) I have been in a pretty significant rut in my scrapbooking. I needed something to help me get out of it! Something new and challenging, and like magic, this opportunity came along! I am in love with having something new to work with on my pages! I even made the gigantic leap and started embossing! LOL! Crazy, no?! I am certainly no proficient at it, but I think with more practice and expanding my collection of stamp pads and powders, I'll get the hang of it before too long. :D
I want to thank Rahel again for giving me this amazing opportunity! I am super honored to be on the SwissgirlDesigns DT with an incredibly talented group of scrappers! Check out the announcement here. I still can't believe that line-up. I am HUGE fans of all those girls (including Rahel), and just hope I can live up to it! :D
Here is my first layout for you! Don't you just love that face? She is sooooo much more emotional than Cree was. And goodness she has one heck of a temper! When she doesn't get what she wants she LITERALLY lunges backward slamming her little self on the floor. :P Colliding with whatever she happens to run into along the way. It seriously makes my heart stop when she does it. Every. time. (Did I mention she is only one and I already have grey hair going on?!) Gah!
(I gotta admit I was slightly intimidated learning that almost all the girls are minimalists-and clearly that rubbed off on me with my first layout here-but I will work hard to make sure that I still stay true to myself as well.)

Oh and P.S. Do you think this place needs a facelift? I have been feeling like it has for a while now but it is such an undertaking I honestly don't think I will be able to get to it til like April! LOL!
This little brooch is a little something I made as well (but somehow it didn't make it into their post on the Pink Paislee blog). Almost all the layouts above have little banner/pennant flags on them made from the Mistables muslin scallop trims. I altered them by cutting all the little scallop parts off, making just long strips of the muslin that I then cut into. I was left behind with all these little half circles, and decided I would try my hand at flower making! I added it to a Pink Paislee flower from the Enchanting line (?), and also some velvet that I had in my stash. It is so pretty and was super easy!
