myStampBOX: We Are Family!

Join the Design Team at myStampBOX for projects about family. The blog is packed with fun ideas for using our stamps on your layouts, cards, and mini albums today. We're all one big happy family!
I went full-on grungy with this layout! I had a blast painting, misting, and stamping the plain sheet of kraft cardstock as my layout base. I used tiny stamps from the He Loves Me set for the background. The title was stamped with letters from Splash Me a Lot (larger alphabet) and Mini Alpha. The awesome canvas stars from product partner Canvas Corp were also stamped with the dots from Backgrounds.

The photo is of my husband and many of his cousins at a family reunion late this past summer. It was a wonderful time to get together for a weekend of fun. We're still talking about the great memories! Be sure to stop by the myStampBOX blog for a look at more projects about family. Enjoy the ones you love!

myStampBOX: Happy Halloween!

Join the DT at myStampBOX today for a team post all about Halloween! You'll find layouts, cards and an altered project packed with inspiration.

This year we began a new tradition for Halloween - scary face pancakes at IHOP! The boys loved being allowed to play with their food. I used the myStampBOX Royal Flush alphabet on Canvas Corp canvas (love our product partner!!). The diamond paper is also Canvas Corp.

Of course I had to throw in a little Karen Foster Design! The collage paper and Crazy Coil Brads are KFD. I added my journaling onto a spot stamped with the Just Add Notes set from myStampBOX as well.

Happy Halloween!

Scrapbook {Express}ions: Need a Lift?

Here's a quick and easy card I made for Scrapbook Express. Check out the blog for my helpful tip!

myStampBOX: Hope, Support & Friendship DT Projects

Today the myStampBOX Design Team is sharing lots of projects about hope, support, and friendship. You'll see a variety of projects and themes, and there's tons of inspiration! Please click over to see them all.


For this team post I made a window card. I used a fabulous card base from product partner Canvas Corp. I punched a window into the card front and framed it out with a double-punched, scalloped square. A pink bow added a pop of color to an otherwise-plain color scheme.

With the window opening, I was able to play with what went inside. I stamped the multi-heart image from Itty Bittys, colored them pink, and added some Stickles for sparkle and shine. I also added a sentiment from Mention It. This sweet card will hopefully help someone feel better!
