 My creative project for the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team went 'off the page' with a reverse canvas sampler.  Using a canvas the 'wrong way' gives a shadow box effect and adding lots of little hearts decorated in a variety of ways gives the 'days gone by' embroidery sampler concept a new twist. For this project I have used  Memories in Bloom Suite Bee Builder Punch Notes and Totes stamps Extraordinary Flora stamps If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop.

  This was an easy way to get lots of memory keeping done at a crop yesterday!  7 layouts created and I put together another one from the kit today.  There is still more left in the kit box to make 2 - 3 more layouts! I made a few additions - some stamping, splattering, stitching and threads to add some texture and background interest. Head to the shop to check out this kit!

  I am half way through my year as an Artisan Design Team Member with Stampin' Up! and applications are currently open for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to apply.  I have enjoyed this opportunity, the creative experiences, the teams I get to work with and the lovely supplies we are given (always exciting to see new design briefs and what arrives in my Artisan boxes). Over on Instagram, the current team is running a hop where we are all documenting in some way, what it has meant to be an Artisan. Look up @scrappykea to check out the links to the rest of the teams projects.

Stampin' Up! has produced 4 fantastic Scrapbooking Workshops.  The Everyday You and Me Workshop is just one of these.  Workshops come with supplies to create 3 double page layouts including a cutting guide and instructions.  For my customers who purchase this Workshop, I have created a guide to create 6 single page layouts as this is what most of us create and it gives another option. You can purchase the kit HERE If you sign up with me and include your email address so I can contact you, I'll email the instructions for your personal use to create these 6 pages.
