Stampendous and PL together... NICELY done


It's blog hop day with Project Life and Stampendous Impressions!

The Design Team is putting on some flair with our Stampendous supplies and Becky Higgins Project Life Page Protectors.
But before we get to my project there is the important matter of PRIZES! Oh yeah, if you have been with us all this week you know that Laura at Stampendous has oodles of prizes in store. It's easy to have a chance to win, just comment away! Details are all on the Stampendous Blog

Back to my project. Oh my pages came together like a storybook! I know that's how they are suppose to be with divided page protectors, but I started with a picture of my son maneuvering around with a clunky toy. 

On the first half of my two-page Project Life spread I captured my son. He's got an elephant rocker my dad made for me when I was his age. My dad was crafty with wood and so was his dad. They had lots of tools to get the job done and I suppose as I thought through this layout I realized all the tools I have to get my crafty jobs done.


Stampendous products used for the first page:
CHILDREN PLAY PERFECTLY CLEAR™ STAMPS
SERENGETI PERFECTLY CLEAR STAMPS
OCHRE COLOR FRAGMENTS
CLING FOLLOW ART
ARTIST ELEMENTS (sneak peek alert! You can find this at most retailers soon! REAL SOON!)

For the second half of my layout is a sequel of sorts to the first page. My train of thought went from something my dad made me to how I make things, we both have a lot of supplies to do what we do and then among some of the precious to me items I found were sets of rubber stamps. Stamps that I believe my grandpa used to mark the grandfather clocks he made. It's something I wanted to document.


Stampendous products used for the second page:
CLING TYPING ELEMENTS (another sneak peek alert!!!!! Yep, it's a new April stamp coming soon!
CLING TIN PANEL
INSPIRATION EXISTS

That's all from me today! There's more inspiration ahead. Here's a list of some fellow designers.

    Wonderful bold colors! I really like the clean black stamping too- great accents but doesn't take away from the photos at all.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
