Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop, Crafty Collaborations is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from throughout the world collaborating together and sharing their creative flair. You may have joined me from Rochelle Laird Smith blog or you may be starting here with me... Thank you for joining us this month. I LOVE not having any theme or challenge for our Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop. It allows me to choose EXACTLY what I want to create with, not having any boundries. I have been playing with Notes of Nature all this month, it is such a FUN set of stamps that allows you to create a collage type of background simply by using 1st, 2nd and third generations of ink on your stamp. I used Pebbled Path, Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad to layer all the stamped elements on top of each colour. I totally forgot to take a photo before I started adding all the layers.
That was all I needed to create this layout of our Son's Wedding in Oct last year. The Cake actually isn't blue it was a purply colour BUT when I printed the photos out this is the colour it came out.... So I decided to go with the Boho Blue 12" x 12" Cardstock.
This long leaf die has so much detail on all the leaves, I didn't want to hide them. So I chose to use Scalloped Contours Dies to cut Vellum cardstock as the frame to layer the photos on over the leaves. Laura's dress had such gorgeous leaves all over the sleeves so I thought it was very appropriate to add these leaf dies behind the frames.
It is a very simple layout BUT it has my signature layers with the leaves and flowers. The flowers that were on a couple of leaves these are fussy cut from the DSP.
The sentiments came from the stamp set Cake Fancy in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalogue. I also added Celebrate from Wanted To Say Dies this morning and the photos are so different in the daylight hours than when I photographed yesterday afternoon under stormy skies. Just perfect for this layout.
Up next is the super talented Marga Bultena, with her layout.

Hello and Welcome to Ink, Stamp, Share like the name states We LOVE using Ink, Stamps and we LOVE to Share our creations with you. We are a Collaboration of Creative Minds who are Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all around the globe.
You may have joined me from Cindy Or you may be starting the hop here with me, either way I am sure we all have some amazing creations to share with you.
This month the theme is All That Flutters, with anything that flutters, birds, bees, butterflies. This was a very easy theme for me and especially with the current Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catty. We are spoiled for choice with things that flutter in this catalogue. Pages 8, 9, 10, 67 and 87 have bees on them Pg 11 has a flying bird Pages 22, 23, 24 and 25 all have butterflies on them. Pg 35 has a flying bird Pg 53 & 68 have chickens Pg 58 & 67 has a seagull Pages 60, 61, 62 & 73 have a hummingbird (Which is the set I am focusing on) Pp 65 has a bird BUT it isn't flying. OK enough with things that flutter, there is also Hot Air Balloons.
Ok let's get onto what I created with Poetic Expressions Suite Collection on Pages 60, 61, 62. I just knew as soon as I saw this suite that it would be one of the first things in my pre-order and it was. I just LOVED everything about it!!! Not so much the Hummingbird as we don't have them in Australia BUT the actual stamp is very realistic and I love the in flight action captured in the stamp.
I created this project for another collaboration I was working on, it didn't make the cut. Due to the fact of the grunginess of this card I figured that just because I liked how it turned out that it may not be everyone's cup of tea...So to speak. AND I know not everyone in the Stampin' Up! community like the Wild Wheat in the 2023-2025 In Color family.
