October Stampin Creative Blog Hop – Remember!

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on

October 29th, 2020

Hello! Welcome once again to our monthly “Stampin Creative” Global Blog Hop! I’m so happy you are hoppin` around with us.

This month’s theme is “Rember” and I have to admit, at first I was stumped. I started my paper addiction as a scrapbooker – I tried stamping and I was hooked! It was a smaller “canvas” to work on and I felt I could get more accomplished making cards than the time it would take me to do a 2 paqge spread. Can anyone relate?

Needless to say.. I wanted to challenge myself. The word “Remember” lead me to trying a scrapbook page.

We recently carved a few pumpkins for the Inn which greet each guest just outside the lobby door. I decided I needed to get a few photos – but with my most favorite pumpkins of all.. my 2 furbabies Krystal and Ruby. Aren’t they the cutest Cocker Spaniels ever?

Ok I’m partial.. but lets get back to the hop! LOL

So, I decided to take this picture and scrapbook it! (I know.. don’t fall off of your chair!) Stampin Up!’s amazing products make it so easy to mix and match – weather you are memory keeping, making cute gifts or card making.

Here is my 12×12 scrapbook page mixing it up with some products from the Annual Catalog, Holiday Catalog and our September 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Now, lets hang out with our Global friends blogs and check out there beautiful creations! If you have time, please leave a comment and let me know you were here! Just click on the little “speak bubble” just under the title of the post today – its that easy!

Here are the supplies I used:

Thanks again for visiting – remmeber… the Designer Series Paper Sale is still going on and that awesome Plaid Tidings DSP is 15% off! (its my FAVORITE!).

Happy Hoppin!
