Those of you that read my blog regularly know that I promised a series on Scrapbooking/Memory Keeping at the beginning of June. I have not blogged about it as regularly as I had hoped, but here is another post, this time about Memory Keeping that is not in a book.
I have 2 daughters, and neither one is into stamping. BREAKS. MY. HEART. So when one of them asks can I help her stamp something, the answer is ABSOLUTELY! So I really can't take the credit for this project...it was all her idea.
Her boyfriend is a welder, and has taken a job travelling. They have started a tradition of him bringing her a rock from the states he goes to, and she writes the place on the rock and puts them in a jar.
She wanted to make something to go on the jar, and this is what we came up with.
She chose the letters from the Pick a Pennant stamp set, and that sweet little heart came from Sitting Pretty. (By the way, I got the Pick a Pennant FREE when I went to Onstage in Atlanta..fun times!) Pick a Pennant comes as a bundle with matching dies, but I have not purchase them yet. Remember, when the stamp set and dies are sold as a bundle, you save 10%! Stampin' Up! has so many sets that have individual letters in them to create your own message!
We stamped the sentiment on a piece of retired DSP I had in my stash, and used the Layering Circle Framelits to make the 2 layers, the bottom layer is Real Red. I thought it turned out perfect!
Isn't that a neat way to preserve memories! Now I may have to do some Memory Keeping of my own to log me and my daughter making memories!
