 The stamp sets are called: Journal It - Library Card; Document It - Right This Way. I have always been a huge fan of notebook edges, and ledger lines. So I was super giddy when I saw what was coming this month. These stamps and Die-namics are so fun to work with. 

I put them to good use on another page for my Project Life album. I am still working my way through the Instagram pictures I had printed the other month. I dedicated this page to me and my littlest guy. Thanks to half-day Kindergarten, I've gotten lots of extra time with him this school year. He's my little shadow and I think I'm going to really miss him next year. 

Here is the full page, and how it is in my album.  Below, I'll show you a close up of the details and talk about what I used on each insert. I used papers from the Studio Calico-Darling Deer paper pack along with MFT Kraft cs.  I used only MFT Premium dye inks on this-Wild Cherry, Sno Cone, and Black Licorice. 

First Up my Check It Out insert. Love this little guy's silliness. I cut some Kraft cs with the new, INSERT IT-3X4 NOTEBOOK PAPER DIE-NAMICS. I then stamped some journal lines with the previously released, For the Record stamp set. It's a perfect fit!  The rest of the stamps come from the DOCUMENT IT-RIGHT THIS WAY stamp set. All those fun, funky, and cool arrows are soooooo fabulous. I used two of them, look close, it's a subtle look on the Kraft cs, but it's there and I love what they add to this journaling insert. 

Along the bottom I added two custom-made buttons, thanks to the new BUTTON BORDER DIE-NAMICS.  I love that you get a solid border piece and lots of bits and pieces to use together with the border, or individually, like I did on this insert. 

Here's another look at the finished insert. I added some of my own handwriting for the journaling. All my edges were also touched with a quick sponging of Walnut Stain Distress ink. 

The middle insert and photo are my faves. It's a great picture of the two of us snuggling on the couch. I also reeeaaallllyyy like the new INSERT IT-3X4 POCKET Die-namics and JOURNAL IT-LIBRARY CARD stamp set. The two work so well together. Here they are together. I cut this library card out with the original, first released Insert-It Die-namics. Cut out the insert and then stamp the Library image and wah-la! A cute, handmade library card. It also works great with the new NOTEBOOK PAPER Die-namics, too. 

Here is the Library card, outside of the pocket. I added some stamps from the JOURNAL IT-LIBRARY CARD set, stamped in Sno Cone.  I also added an arrow  from the DOCUMENT IT-RIGHT THIS WAY. Cool, isn't it??

Here is the pocket with the Library card pulled out. I used a strip of the BUTTONS BORDER to decorate it. Along the bottom of the pocket is a fun label from last month's release, Accent it-Labels and Tabs Die-namics. The word "US" was stamped from  Document it-Off the Chart. 

and how about a close up of the button border I created. I cut a solid strip and then a few of the matching individual buttons in different patterns. I adhered them to the top of the border strip and then added my favorite Hemp Twine. 

The last couple of pockets were just as fun and quick to create.  This time I used the 3x4 Insert It Die-namics. I stamped the same, Document it- For the Record, ledger lines in Wild Cherry Ink to match the top one, cut with the NOTEBOOK PAPER DIE-NAMCIS.

Here is a closer look. I love this solid arrow. It stamped beautifully with the MFT Black Licorice Ink. I covered the bottom half of the die with some coordinating floral paper and added another fun tab from the Accent It-Labels and Tabs Die-namics. To play up the ''office" or "library" theme, I used my Tiny Attacher to adhere the tab to the Insert. 

That's my final photo for today's post. I am so happy with how my PL album is filling up thanks to all the cool MFT products Liana Lamb is creating!

Today we get a look at the newest Lisa Johnson stamps and coordinating Die-namics.  The stamp sets are called:  Embellished Eggs and Spring Backgrounds.
Here is my spring chickie card  I used some non-lovey patterns from the Fourteen paper pack by Crate Paper. I pulled out some coordinating MFT card stocks in Pink Lemonade, Whip Cream and kraft. 

 I used two of the new SPRING BACKGROUNDS on my card. Love the prints that are included here. I used the pretty floral pattern, stamped in Sno Cone ink and then filled in the centers with a small dot from the EMBELLISHED EGGS stamp set, stamped in Lemon Drop.

I used the chevron background stamp from the same, SPRINGTIME BACKGROUNDS on my main image panel. See the pretty pink ink....That's one of 3 new colors you'll be able to add to your stamping supplies this month. It's PINK LEMONADE PREMIUM DYE INK. I then stamped the sentiment in Kraft Premium Dy Ink and added a fun flower cut from the EASTER ELEMENTS  Die-namics.  There is a matching stamp to fit that flower in the EMBELLISHED EGGS Stamp set. A few pearls add some balance to the front panel. 

I also couldn't help myself and add a few of the darling chicks.  The cuties were cut from MFT Felt (banana split and sno cone) with the EASTER ELEMENTS DIE-NAMICS.  Their wings are from a pattern in the Fourteen paper pack and they matched my Chevron Background stamp perfectly! 

A little doubled twiney bow tied up the card.  I can't wait for Spring. Working with these products sure makes it seem a little closer. 

It's going to be an exciting week! I hope you stick around for the fun.

Photobombed and a Studio Calico challenge

One of my favorite paper companies right now is Studio Calico. Actually, I've loved them for a long time, but I really have been using their papers ALOT lately and I can't wait to get my hands on the new CHA release papers.    I checked out their blog recently and stumbled across THIS challenge:

Make a layout or card following this recipe: 

• 4 squares
• 3 small round embellishments (brads, enamel dots, rhinestones, etc.)
• alphabet stamps
• paper strips (cardstock, patterned paper, journaling strips, etc.)
• mist

 Lots of fun and a great excuse to scrap this Instagram pic of my boys. It was a total Photobomb by my middle son, Ryan, well his foot, anyway! 

The used the Darling Deer papers from Studio Calico, along with some of my favorite MFT products. The Journal it-Graph Paper Notes stamp set is sooo fun and it had the perfect sentiment for my layout. I stamped it in MFT's Black Licorice ink onto sweet tooth paper.  I also added one little CHEVRON STRIPE with black licorice cs to draw your eye down to my journaling. 

Of course a few ACCENT IT-LABELS AND TABS had the just-right embellies to add those little bits and pieces to accent my photo. I think those cool, rounded squares are so fun to work with. The darling CUTE CAMERA Die-namics nestled  right in the middle of my tabs. 
I added a quick spritz with my trusty, SU Spritzer tool and then added a few drops of Studio Calico's Mister Huey White. After the drop hit my paper, I gave a quick, dab with my finger to make it more splat-like. 

I am loving these 6x12 pages. I picked up a few of the PL sleeves in this size and I love how fast I can scrap 1 photo. I sometimes feel guilty only adding 1 picture to a full 12x12 layout. This is the perfect solution for me.  Inlinkz shopping list:
