What a terrific way to personalize your planner & phone!
So pretty, and these sentiments really resonate with me!
And the best part?

My second share for today is a super pretty mixed media page,
"Always Beautiful Moments"
Oh how beautiful, indeed!
Altenew Supplies: Enchanted Roses Stamp Set, Permanent Black Crisp Ink, Watercolors 36 Pan Set, Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook Collection, Enamel Dots: Shades of Purple.
You can see why it's called the Enchanted Roses Stamp Set! Such a magical stamp! Let's take a closer look...
Swoon! SO pretty!
It's a lovely stamp for cardmaking, but it's amazing for scrapbooking too!
I inked mine in Permanent Black Crisp Ink and then messily painted and splattered my enchanting roses with blues & purples from the Watercolors 36 Pan Set.
Those roses are so beautifully detailed!
I completed my layout with papers, washi tape and chipboard alphas from the Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook Collection, and scattered a few of the Shades of Purple Enamel Dots. Simple. Beautiful. Enchanting!

My last project for today is this light, fresh and contemporary scrapbook page,
"Loved"
Oh so pretty!!!
Altenew Supplies: Vintage Garden Stamp and Die Set, Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook Collection, Permanent Black Crisp Ink, & Enamel Dots: Shades of Purple
It may be called the Vintage Garden Stamp but don't let the name fool you! It's suitable for both classic and elegant projects, as well as fresh & contemporary ones like mine!
Such a pretty & versatile stamp set! I hand colored my vintage blooms with some gel pens from my stash, and I just love the result! To save my fingers from laborious fussy cutting, I used the coordinating Die Set to do all the hard work for me - bliss!
I also stamped falling leaves directly onto my Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook Collection paper base, and that beautiful sentiment too!
Simply Stunning!!!
I hope my projects have inspired you!
