F.Y.I. ~ New blog series!


Hi friends!
First, Happy New Year and welcome 2018!
I'll have my chosen Word of the Year post up later today,
but first ~  there's this!

  I am so excited to write about this new series on my blog!
It's something I thought about introducing early last year
but the timing was never right ... until now :)

This is a series of weekly blog posts that I'll simply call:
F.Y.I ~  Find Your Inspiration ♥
This series of weekly posting will all be "inspired by..."
From planning creative ways to use paper crafts to crafting mishaps,
from fun self-challenges to stamp hacks,
from wish lists and more ~ the inspiration is the truly endless!


 Since this is the first post in the series, 
and it's my day to post for The Project Bin stamps,
I'll show you what inspired my card today.

This one little notebook.
While out shopping, I spotted it on the shelf and thought:
that would make a beautiful card.




Using cardstock on hand, and striped paper from Hobby Lobby,
I created the A2 card base and smaller insert with a scallop die.
I stamped/heat embossed the sentiment from the Awesome-sauce stamp set
 with white embossing powder on pink cardstock to match the notebook.
After it was dry, I ran it through the cuttlebug with a die for the scrolled shape.
Then, I added twine, popped the focal image up on 3d foam 
and added some colorful gems in similar colors to the notebook.

You can see this on The Project Bin blog along with 
other stamps and photos in the galleries.

I chose this sentiment specifically from The Project Bin because
whatever goals or resolutions or intentions the new year brings,
it's so wonderful to be your true self.


Find what inspires your heart and make it your own ♥ 
Until next time, be inspired!


Big hugs, bigger blessings!
~Kelly
