thought i'd share a closer look at this layout tonight. did you happen to catch this one? it was a layout that i did for making memories … for a magazine ad. it was so cool to see this appear on a one-page ad in the september issues of the magazines! ok … it was actually in the bottom corner of the ad … but still!

this layout was highlighting the clear stamps that MM had just released. i loved the circle journaling stamp … and thought it would be fun to use it with the circle pattern paper from the new noteworthy collection.

i know it's hard to see on here … but i actually stamped on the circle paper (the stamp fits perfectly over the circles). then i did it again on another piece of paper … and then cut out just the inside of the journaling stamp. then i adhered them over the original piece … some with pop-dots and some without. did that make sense?!?! lol! then i added clear flower stickers, brads, stickers, and some string to finish them off.

and i won't even tell you how many trys it took to get that "perfect" title … just perfect. lol! i was very new to stamping when i did this … and i kept spacing the letters wrong and running out of room. but in the end … i think it turned out just perfect. lol!

    I remember spotting this layout when it first came out! Cute! And perfect that the stamp fits in that circle! Have you heard about the new generation M’s in Stockton? It is on Hammer Lane and Lower Sac, I think it is, back in the shopping center that has Toys R Us…anway, it is huge! And they have the cutest wooden MM desktop organizer thingy! I hadn’t seen that before…I also hit up J’s, and they have the KI photo albums! 7 bucks with a fifty percent off coupon!
