Whoa! What a terrific mix of crafters to get you inspired!

Speaking of inspiration, here's my project...

"Happy" - 12x12 scrapbook layout

Oh how fun! I love the Spring vibes that this page evokes! I've mixed the gorgeous Build-A-Flower: Indian Lotus with the Altenew Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook collection to create this sweet scrapbook page. So fresh, and contemporary and perfect for documenting my son playing in the rock pools! I have also used the sentiments in this stamp set to add some journaling to my page too!

Altenew Supplies Featured: Build-A-Flower: Indian Lotus, Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink, Cherry Blossom & Pocketful Of Sunshine Mini Dye Ink Cube Sets, Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F, Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook Collection & Tea Party Enamel Dots.

Let's take a closer look...

Those Lotus blooms are errrrrrything!!! SO pretty, and just like the ones found near our home.

Here's how I made them...

I stamped the outline in Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink, followed by layers of Citrus Burst and Rubellite ink cubes. To soften the colors, and make them appear more realistic, I blended these stamped blooms with Pink Diamond Artist Alcohol Marker.

For finishing touches, I added one last layer of Rubellite ink over the bloom to really make those details pop!

For the lily pads, I used all 4 shades of the green markers included in the Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F.

A really simple stamp & color technique that looks so effective!

Here's a closer look...

So gor-jus!!!

Simply stunning, and perfect for all types of paper crafting!

I hope my scrapbook layout has inspired you today!

Oh my heart! Documenting life's stories never looked so lovely!!!

The Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook Collection is such a beautiful memory keeping line!

It's perfect for all types of paper crafting, but I especially love creating scrapbook pages with it.

Let's take a closer look...

Isn't this lovely?! This layout is to record their first day of school for 2021 - which is always a special day!

Like usual, I've written a letter for my children about this moment, and attached it onto the back of this layout. I couldn't resist using the new Storybook Sentiments Stamp Set for my title! Infact, I even used this stamp set to add more Arctic Mountain foliage details to the page too!

So pretty!!!

Lots of Altenew lovelies!

Absolutely gorgeous!

I really hope you feel inspired by my project!

Craft-A-Flower: Cosmos Layering Die Set

Oh my! The Craft-A-Flower: Cosmos Layering Die Set is really breathtaking, isn't it?!

Beautiful for cardmaking, but equally as wonderful for scrapbooking & memory keeping!

Altenew Supplies Featured: Craft-A-Flower: Cosmos Layering Die Set, Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook Collection, 2in1 Precision Glue Pen.

Such a fresh and Summery vibe! Let's take a better look...

Flowers for boy pages? You bet!

The Craft-A-Flower: Cosmos Layering Die Set is truly so versatile! It's perfect for all types of crafting!

To give mine a slightly more masculine tone, and to compliment the colors in my photos, I used a mix of gradient blue & yellow cardstocks for my Cosmos flowers.

The beach theme of my photographs encouraged me to use a seaweed colored cardstock for the foliage, and the soft blue pattern paper from the Enjoy The Ride Scrapbook Collection.

Here's a few close ups of those gorgeous florals...

Aren't they so beautifully detailed?!

Altenew always have such cleverly considered layers for their florals!

Love it! Absolutely gorgeous!!!
