Made with-Love-DSP

Made with Love Designer Series Paper

I meant to post this earlier but time just got the better of me. The beginning of the year is always busy for my family and I because of all the birthdays. I mean a lot both my husband and I have birthdays two weeks apart right before Valentine's Day. I also take time to do some planning for the new year's goals (not resolutions)! For me I want to focus more on teaching paper crafting and creating party favors. Last year was a year of learning, taking care of myself and part-time care giver for mom. Mentally, it was challenging for me. I did some traveling but now I am back and focused. I have already created my first few designs for Easter and Graduation. I can't wait to show them off!

Now for the real reason you are here. You want to learn more about what I created using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper (DSP) called Made with Love. I wanted to use some old stamps as well as new products that I purchased. I created two double layouts and three greeting cards. Don't worry I spill the tea on how I created these beauties. Also I wanted to give a shout out to my friend, Tina Law, at Creatingwithyou.com, where she has published her own Sketchbook. Highly recommend her website, no I don't make a penny from her sales.

Starting with the left page "SWAK", or Sealed With a Kiss, is definitely a Tina Law inspired layout. I did use Stampin' Up! products and I think it turned out great. The lips were made using Cricut Design Space, Cricut is a electronic plotter machine.
