Gems of Inspiration
I am so excited to be one of the Scrapbook Challenge hostesses over at Christian Paper Crafts. My challenge is called Gems of Inspiration and it will post on the first Thursday of the month. What are Gems of Inspiration? They are little nuggets or gems of information, that are designed to inspire you to create. Each month you will find a different gem... it may be a technique, a theme, a color combination, a product, a verse of scripture... that is designed to inspire you and get your creative juices flowing.
This month’s inspirational gem comes straight from the CPC message boards. Over the past few weeks there has been a lively discussion about the new Sew Easy tool, by We R Memory Keepers. If you’re not familiar with the Sew Easy, it’s a tool used for punching holes for decorative stitching on paper. Let this discussion inspire you to incorporate some stitching on a layout. You don’t have to have a Sew Easy tool to stitch, stitching can be done free hand with just a needle and thread, or with a sewing machine. You can use a faux stitching technique where you create the look of stitching with markers. Stitching on layouts can also be done using rub on stitches or rubber stamped stitches.
I was inspired by the discussion to get out my Sew Easy tool and create a stitched border on my photo mat. I used the loop stitching head and some green floss.
You can find more details about my layout on the Christian Paper Crafts Blog . I'd love for you to play along in this challenge. Please add your direct link to this post on the CPC Blog so we can see what you create. I can’t wait to see how you are inspired by this gem to incorporate some stitching onto your layout.

Yard Work
Today is the last day for the May Let Your Light Shine Scrapbook Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. This month's challenge is to create a layout of any size using ODBD stamps and adding either flowers, trees/leaves, or birds to your layout. I created "Yard Work" for this challenge.
I used the Jeremiah 18:6 stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs "You are the Potter" stamp set. The patterned paper is from an older line by We R Memory Keepers. The die cut letters, grass, trees, bird and sun are Quickutz and the yard work items are Jolee's by EK Success. I used chalk inks to accent the die cuts and used a Marvy circle punch for the stamp background.
You can find the challenge details and the other challenge entires at Our Daily Bread Designs Blog.

Happy Friday!
Happy Friday everyone!! Today is the start of the Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer. I don't have any special plans for this weekend, just going to hang out in my scrapbook room, finish reorganizing and start creating again. I've put part 2 of our summer vacation album on hold for awhile. I needed a little change of theme so I'm scrapbooking random photos from the past couple of years. Today I'm sharing a layout of my son with one of his school projects.
Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend!!
