Practical Scrappers Scrapping Our Stash Blog Hop

Sometimes I don't know where the time flies. It's time again for our monthly Practical Scrappers Scrapping Our Stash Hop! You can find the complete list of scrappers HERE. You should be arriving here smiling from all the crafty goodness of CHRISTINE'S BLOG
Believe it or not, I actually put my hoop project on the back burner and did a layout this month. I have a set of six IKEA RIBBA Frames that I bought just before we moved from Portland. I made my hubby hang them in the entry way...where they have hung, empty and neglected all summer long. Now that I'm hitting the boxes with family photos, I decided it's time to fill those 10 x 10 frames. I used some of my hoarded and retired Timberline Woodgrain paper and a bunch of washi tapes to scrap my first frame. I want to put a heartfelt saying about family and home in each frame along with a picture of my sweet family.
So...the stamp image I used is actually a sneak peek at a stamp set that's not coming available until September - but I've had it since July! I inked the tree up with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink, swiping the pad down to take off most of the ink I had applied. Then I went all around the edges and all over the hearts with my favorite shimmery Stardust Gelly Roll Pen to make that tree something special behind my quote.
I used a bunch of different washi tapes from my stash.The red chevron, silver geometric, and slate polka dot are CTMH.  The others I've had in my stash a while, and I think I got them at Michaels. I should write the manufacturer inside the washi rolls so I can remember who makes them. I ran a double line of stitching all around the layout and across my washi tape Banner. I had to bust into a new package of my favorite Keyboard Alpha stickers, and I'm gonna cry a little when my stash finally runs out! I think I've got plenty to finish all six frames, though. I'm planning to bring the colors, woodgrain, and kraft letters through all six frames to make a nice display in my entry. 

Next up if the fabulous craftiness of Bobbi at Vintage Muse Designs. Have fun!
