Hello again. I finally found some time to stamp! It's been crazy at my house. We are trying to sell our home and I've been busy cleaning and packing. I had some stamps from last month that I hadn't even cut! If you know me, you know that is very rare. I like to cut them as soon as they arrive so I can play with them! Well, I finally got them cut and I wanted to make a scrapbook page with my new "Starburst Flowers" set. (pictured below) I bought them because they reminded me of Dandelions.

Don't you just love Dandelions? I know men hate them because they "mess" up their yard but I love my yard when it's dotted with yellow. Then the white dots come and the kids blow the seeds and make more yellow! How can you not love Dandelions? They are so easy for kids to pick and SO abundant. Especially in my yard. No one would mistake our yard for a golf course, that's for sure.

I do have one thing I don't like about Dandelions. They always manage to find my garden. I don't mind them in the yard as long as they stay in the grassy part. lol

The scrapbook page was created from a very simple layout I'd seen before. For the circles, I used a Coluzzle with nested circle and large nested circle. The Coluzzle is one of my oldest scrapbooking tools. I really love it. It takes the guesswork out of cutting circles or any shape for that matter. You just place the clear template over what you want to cut and run the special knife through the channel. It works great.


The stamp sets I used on the page are Starburst Florals, Little Things, Punctuation (for the journaling lines), Spring Dream, Flourishes and Simple Bet. See the "Products" tab on my TAC website for these and more of my favorite products.
Thanks for visiting!!!

How did you set up such a cool blog page? I am brand-new to The Angel Company and I've been looking at a few other Demonstrator's "my story" to get ideas for what I should write and I really liked yours. So I thought I'd check out your blog...and it's awesome! How did you do it?! Thanks!

Well, I don't know what to tell you about my blog. I'm not very computer savy. I just go into the layout area and pick one of Blogger's templates. I usually change the colors to match my photos. I get the stamp set and product photos from TAC's website and paste them on there. Is this what you wanted to know? If not, email me. I LOVE your photo in the hammock by the way. Very cute.
