Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Welcome! I’m honored and delighted to be a part of this blog hop for the sweet and kind Laurel Beard and her newborn girl, Lily.
You may have arrived here from Erica’s blog. The next stop is Jenn S.’s blog. The full list of participants can be found on Chrissie’s blog.
I enjoyed painting with stamps so much that I decided to try it again. I also wanted to make another card with the Labrador die. I first tried pairing the “Silhouette Grasses” stamp with the dog, but the grasses were just too big and out of proportion. So I pulled out “Tall Wheat” (a stamp that appears to be no longer in production).
I stamped the wheat with the new distress paints – I simply can’t get enough of these! I then applied Tumbled Glass and Forest Moss distress ink to the card. Forest Moss is the paint that I used on the bottom of the wheat stalks. I finished the card with a sentiment from the “Thanks A Bunch” set – one I’m grabbing over and over as of late.
Supplies: Hero Arts “Tall Grasses” stamp; Stampin’ Up cardstock

Welcome back for the final day of the March Neat & Tangled release! I’m sharing two cards made with the “Sketchy Cupcakes” set, one of three sets releasing this week.
I did a bit of paper piecing for my first card, featuring the cupcake, flag and sentiment from the set. (I know I’d love to have some pink-frosted cupcakes for my birthday!)
Supplies: Scotty Girl Design papers
The “Sketchy Cupcakes” set also includes stamps for non-birthday cards. In this second card, I used the “Hey Sweets” sentiment along with a fork and cherry included in the set. I just love Danielle’s handwritten sentiments!

It’s time for the March Neat & Tangled release! I’m sharing two cards made with the “Just Thinking of You” set, one of three sets releasing this week.
For my first card, I paired the cloud (or optionally thought bubble) and sentiment from the set with the bird in Swirly Twirly Tags.
I used the same design for a second card in which I stamped the bear and mushrooms from Little Bear (admittedly a set that I reach for time and time again).
Head on over to the Neat & Tangled Blog to see the rest of the Design Team projects and to enter the giveaway for this set! The March release goes on sale tomorrow, Thursday, March 7.
Welcome! Today I’m sharing layouts I created with this month’s Simple Scrapper Premium Membership templates, as well as this month’s Story Starters.
This month I was drawn towards memories from sunny vacations! (In other words, I was not scrapping “with” the seasons as I usually do!)
I scrapped a Disney World trip from summer 2004. I have really been enjoying the combination of orange and blue of late.
I scrapped a day at the beach here in the Pacific Northwest from a few years ago. And again, used some blue and orange!
Finally, for this month’s Story Starters, I created a layout about a boat trip we made during a vacation to Guatemala a few years ago. It was quite the adventure getting into a small boat to head out across Lake Peten Itza for Flores, a city on an island.
Check out the fabulous inspiration from the rest of the Simple Scrapper Design Team:
