Destination Happiness By Denise Van Deventer
It is time to get those priceless photos off your phone and into your scrapbook. I can’t think of a better way to pay tribute to a wonderful vacation than to scrapbook those amazing memories. Do you use your stamps and stencils in your scrapbooks? I hope so. It is such a great way to personalize your background while getting the exact look you are going for. I just love this layout and design! The foliage looks so amazing, and Diana captured such a beautiful photo. Stunning!
Denise used the World Traveler Collection by BoBunny. Her mixed media masterpiece was created using several different stamp sets, noteworthy pieces, and stickers. Denise also created some handmade purple flowers using the Mandala die from BoBunny, and then used pearlescent for the flower centers. Let’s pop on over to BoBunny’s blog where you will see all the products and steps that Denise used in creating this exquisite layout. Take some time while you are visiting the blog to see many more wonderful creations. You will certainly leave feeling very inspired!

Denim Recipe Book By Riikka Kovasin
For years one of the most popular materials has been denim. You can incorporate denim so easily into crafting such as making layouts, memory books, notebooks, journals, and more. It is truly a crafter’s essential. Today you are in for a real “WOW” treat from Rikkka Kovasin as she shares with us this fabulous recipe book.
This is one recipe album I know I would literally feel so blessed to receive from a dear friend or family member. Can you just imagine the smile from ear to ear as you give this beautiful recipe book to one you adore? To complete the project just add some of your favorite recipes to the book. As you can see, Riikka used some fabric scraps to cover the book as well as the Impasto Paint set, Mixed Media Essentials, some chipboard shapes, and resin flowers. The step-by-step instructions will be coming to the Finnabair link, but for now if you are too anxious to get started please email Riikka at rkovasin@gmail.com and she will be more than happy to share the steps to create this. Let me take you over to Paperiliitin where you will be over-the-top inspired by so many wonderful projects.
