It would seem that those who are outside of this past time don’t know about that part of this ‘hobby’. The slow down that making these pages is. And then the real reward, the thoughts that come to the surface of our heart as we are with our hands crafting a moment in time. Those thoughts can be as vast as considering how we want to go about a future situation. Those thoughts can be prayerful for the subjects in the story we are crafting. Those thoughts can be the story that we really want to have down on the page. </span></p><p><span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim6_DyZDkxQDnrq1yhGJ9NY1x5AVblgn5YeDT4DyNpe4vjgnsmTPADimgBm6iSTQrK74lhBlN9x1outEpp7BH-eOw5sZxTBtahyUsGD-WaKyADwSyk8oGykAH7M5VQBRxo_wMqRsTa5cbwwB8Dg4hKjQ7LKvs-kMlJmcKgAzU5zzoxHTgZ68W-WxX1sso/s900/_03mar25%204%20take%20time%20take%20stock.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How to Take Stock of Life | Scrap the Page | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim6_DyZDkxQDnrq1yhGJ9NY1x5AVblgn5YeDT4DyNpe4vjgnsmTPADimgBm6iSTQrK74lhBlN9x1outEpp7BH-eOw5sZxTBtahyUsGD-WaKyADwSyk8oGykAH7M5VQBRxo_wMqRsTa5cbwwB8Dg4hKjQ7LKvs-kMlJmcKgAzU5zzoxHTgZ68W-WxX1sso/s16000/_03mar25%204%20take%20time%20take%20stock.jpg" title="How to Take Stock of Life | Scrap the Page | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That to me is the meditative quality of scrapbooking.

Wanting to use vellum. Wanting to make use of those banners again. And a birthday vibe that is here this week too.</p><p>I used the <a href="http://shrsl.com/4gl2e"><b>Birthday Paper from Scrapbookcom</b></a> for the background. Sprinkled an assortment of sequins on that surface. Carefully covered with vellum then sewed around the edges.</p><p>Cut up banners are always a good thing to have in the stash. I even attempted some Pops of Color on one of the banners. I need to work on that technique a bit more.

Layers, baby! Also, there is a new <a href="http://shrsl.com/4gl2g"><b>Lovely Bunches floral stamp</b></a> in the studio. That I wanted for a background. It goes without saying that background could have been all kinds of more detail and inking and stamping. But I refrained. Kept this simple. Which was a good idea as the top of the card got a little busy. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-jovPgCYN-tLj8j2LJyPSktkSOGDApSlzdMrqITx0xH5dhHytpq9gzY0_Mc1jnOf9Q2s0lWR88qwWP-7LQiUMVS4Sb6tAB-S8PCaqFBlrc852L-slltoeS5VYhVIU68cNSgD972KMPLIgz2dMxsastfNbu5KWVqmiSkn32KrUpfgQgRZ2-_UepYpwjNY/s900/_03mar18%205%20Spring%20Bday%20MemDex.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Three Fresh Ways To MemoryDex | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-jovPgCYN-tLj8j2LJyPSktkSOGDApSlzdMrqITx0xH5dhHytpq9gzY0_Mc1jnOf9Q2s0lWR88qwWP-7LQiUMVS4Sb6tAB-S8PCaqFBlrc852L-slltoeS5VYhVIU68cNSgD972KMPLIgz2dMxsastfNbu5KWVqmiSkn32KrUpfgQgRZ2-_UepYpwjNY/s16000/_03mar18%205%20Spring%20Bday%20MemDex.jpg" title="Three Fresh Ways To MemoryDex | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>With the Roses Paper Pad I trimmed a 3x4 size card. Then sewed it to a piece os 3x4 cardstock after having added the floral background. That <a href="http://shrsl.com/4gl2k"><b>stamp die piece</b></a>? Do you not love that? The Waffleflower brand is fast becoming a favorite die source. The postage element is cut using a new to me die set called <a href="http://shrsl.com/4gl2k"><b>Postage Collage</b></a>. Click through for a better look see or catch it with the supplies below. But...for goodness sake...I need more of that in my life right now. Vellum snuck it's way into this card with the die cut butterfly. The smaller butterfly was in a stash of previous cuts and was sweetly calling to me to make use of her. Once I came upon that little piece this card really started coming together for me.</p><p>OK...so that is my ode to spring and birthdays and new MemoryDex cards and the need to take time to make.</p><p>I am sure I will be right back in this place again. </p><p>Thank you for reading this post today.

ScrapbookCom had received the new TIm Holtz Stampers Anonymous Mr. Rabbit Easter stamp release. Asked me if I would like to make with it. I sort of hemmed and hawed. Here is the story of when I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.</span></span></span></p><p><span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/4g0l8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Well, Hello, Mr Rabbit | New Stamp Love | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="1012" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSad6JQZR6ZT772XHR3-QXSGnvVKYA7iQhNsi4TXnguBQdqp4TwfZltP1cHam_2xfDW0yQCLXkYJHo-oSfgkcVOjCdYytup46vOGZgwOckTXPcD1X8GBILvN7PNaKVQ69rB3dMOXusDaIQNXb59j3o_jV75k1fMbA3h59K_A6xov5UbqNJZyb4fSIt3D0/s16000/_03mar05%201%20Mr%20Rabbit.jpg" title="Well, Hello, Mr Rabbit | New Stamp Love | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As I have already stated out there on the social platforms, I was not really sure about the rabbit feature of this stamp. You know, the actual Mr Rabbit part. But when I opened that early package of stamp goodness, I was really rather pleasantly surprised. That was when my mind went to work with the above. ‘I knew what I wanted to do with him’. </span></span></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-d85cc9e7-7fff-4f39-d85d-bbd69e16c00b" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And isn’t that just the way sometimes with new paper craft products?

There is just something about him. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not even a Easter-rabbit-holiday kind of girl. But that might just change as I bring more whimsy into this creative space. (That little granddaughter of mine may be the one responsible for this little fresh change in my life.)</span></span></p><p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/4g0l8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Well, Hello, Mr Rabbit | New Stamp Love | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="1013" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0QA5ioPJFBlG_uWAacKgxOPW6k25oT38embCmr02FH4WMlif-XG9HHJ83fzAJQdSIkRTEBHYgJ8MiaAkt1YFoKNj3Y2QOc0NmD_HsEVPlqBK8rrD_eWh7KwXNh6r0PMz6F1VAzq3pjSGn-CMkBNWHFwSB3QcYyMty-QzULV_8hMPrPci0qkvwZAMNbgA/s16000/_03mar05%202%20Mr%20Rabbit.jpg" title="Well, Hello, Mr Rabbit | New Stamp Love | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-42e2f3aa-7fff-9612-0aff-08dafdf48a1e"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I must add here, the Scorched Timber is a most lovely way to ink that big oh stamp up and and leave its gorgeous impression on the paper. Speaking of which, I was asked what I had stamped Mr. Rabbit on? And I had pulled some subtle patterns from the Moonlit Garden collection to stamp him on. Not a whole lot of pattern. Just enough so that he was not only stamped on a plain white background. Love doing that. </span></span></span></p><p><span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/4g0l8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Well, Hello, Mr Rabbit | New Stamp Love | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6eftXoZ-Fff34s3pmI9R_mYEc-91NMQwGeLC75OPJBysPWwnYu5mEUfbL-3QpIwd7RE9qkHrfQjVF13ZLjmp0Iuv7nnm4YM8OKt_R-5yeEGUThTby7RPTrQwr0E2hlBr2cGn5iISRkkohwEXrauKuiGD8Ujjh12sXmj9V_9UVx6kpH8puAxq-yJ9rmQ/s16000/_03mar05%203%20Mr%20Rabbit.jpg" title="Well, Hello, Mr Rabbit | New Stamp Love | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">OK…before I get ahead of myself let’s talk about the envelope. It was simply crafted using a WR Makers Envelope Punch Board, also with the Moonlit paper. Once folded and adhered together, I then added some of the detail stamps from the Mr Rabbit set to the envelope. The polka dots were stamped in Scorched Timber. The distress plaid was stamped here and there with Speckled Egg. Then the Easter ticket ad was stamped on with Evergreen Bough. I also stamped that one again and trimmed it out for an ephemera element in the envelope.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After Mr Rabbit was inked up and stamped out and fussy cut up, then I trimmed a bit of his shoulder off on the left side so that he could fit in this envelope. I call these ‘stuffed envelopes’. Double sided adhesive foam is my friend here too when adding bits and bobs to an envelope like this.</span></span></p><p><br /><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ec51123-7fff-d8f1-9eef-d090aca3b01a"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/4g0l8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Well, Hello, Mr Rabbit | New Stamp Love | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTalIOVze44GxeBqXUPZ0cKc02IiZsT7RAe2BFRF5I69JrYHV6gGEEacdZbsxdZ3TdIf4yYEq22JxJYpJsqiy2SareYGu8Q7_bMr_gWIoCUugT0LM64cp3piNybBJ5ordaQmhUD1UdI1UHGEG1L4IboKUUg_hZuwYgua8tB0yZjSZ8LNG-ANDDtswRDxM/s16000/_03mar05%204%20Mr%20Rabbit.jpg" title="Well, Hello, Mr Rabbit | New Stamp Love | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition to adding his big self to the envie, I added the aforementioned stamped ephemera ticket. Some Moonlit florals were also added to this because they were just so dang sweet with that rabbit motif. Tickets and more florals were arranged in and out of the envelope opening.

As I was searching for phrases and quotes I went to my little bowl of those quote chips. When this one came to the surface I thought it was perfect for the thinking behind this Mr Rabbit Stuffed Envelope.

The birthday of a loved one on a page as a scrapbook layout. Maybe perhaps we all started that way. 'Scrapping' the events. The births. The birthdays. The graduations. The dance recitals. So much of scrapbooking today is everyday life. And don't get me wrong, completely here for that and most often find myself looking for the everyday stories, well...everyday. That's never going to change. But gosh! If my original scrapbooking heart does not find itself again while creating a page of an event.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4fvdq" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTUxqVD2WZoorhYKQe8mi7VDtf62NltbGgeGHjojbv6mu36I0ce3hHykS7jDLOJUPJMypyZ1gtrMwcUt4xYLWQDPiEOCgcTNmZeTt8KNi-TTfVJv3rjnFBVz8MGuGl6bxINyZ8JCgdpxBjV16NrUIlMrcK86eh5tmpDatkOsS57CaRMDQGCtsU3bQjYy0/s16000/_02feb29%201%20Ode%20To%20Celebrations.jpg" title="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>As the stories fill up the albums, whether the more traditional scrapbook pages found in this Storyline Album, or the smaller stories in a mini album, there is a good mix of the recording of the events as well as the 'everyday'. These stories, big or small, obvious or subtle, for me, almost (because sometimes there is hard) ... almost always are about celebration.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4fvdq" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLeuJ5wF925tNn_D3oDkJ2zyeUsvUoSGf_eGbVCBZ2nTahilEuS0f1arFMVs-9X8ZUmA5DjNDmO8hPYni96NnqjSJrvdCUmnFAgXrfa8b5Pl2tMCGgFq1QwBmyiMZSDK3UExsfBVf2_CzjmD-b6UM2g7-aQpNnI7z6ilkpwOE7dNkkemhivzXB7YBleU/s16000/_02feb29%202%20Ode%20To%20Celebrations.jpg" title="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>So, let's talk about that a moment while we look at this little pre-celebration page I made. This page was basically about the photo'd subject who is ALL about celebrating any day of the week and anything. That, in itself, is a story worth recording. </p><p>Not sure if you have been around the past few years or not, but there has been a shift in life pretty much all over the world. We all have felt it one way or another. At times this shift has been really difficult and I'm not quite sure we are all recovered yet. I still see glimpses of hard from these past years rearing its ugly head at times.</p><p>So. What do you do? At the risk of sounding terribly trite this has been my re-write in my own life:</p><p>LOOK FOR THE GOOD</p><p>Yeah. I know. Sounds a little too positive for ya? Well. Hear me out. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4fvdq" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8asrxQcL_gi0Y4FcihH_CVEa2XOPFIGujk_gbzs7SsE2GBdUWZaopzv7bxiBps7JujhuafQkgL9PDlJkOrt4VGaf2ypvJzWNefcAqVtXy-UWHJWUqOOx4syq-7xmWX4JaKDeSTSZzWAYC-zip-SeVo1ksL4uSqOZlz5Vo5f2M8Ehiu4Dr5vFH28DZDDQ/s16000/_02feb29%203%20Ode%20To%20Celebrations.jpg" title="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>It is pretty well documented (and don't ask me to site it right here) that an outlook that seeks the good will actually find it. This girl can say this. I am a verbal witness to this. In the past four years not only did we here experience shut down just like everyone else, but we saw loved ones pass away, my sister suffer cardiac arrest, my mother diagnosed with leukemia, and my granddaughter born an emergency c-section and immediately rushed to NICU. And I know too, because you all talk to me here and on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100044219510024">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdSsoPTayd88TJc0IRbSFoQ">YouTube</a>, I know you also have all suffered from this thing called life and very often just plain struggle. This is life.</p><p>Here is a thought I will put forth again as I am sure I have done so before:</p><p>crafting scrapbook pages, writing down the story, adding in the play to the page is a form of looking for the good.</p><p>Let's hone that down a bit. Just by virtue of the fact that we have stories to tell tells me that we are looking for those stories. If we are taking the photo, and then if we are printing the photo...hint hint...then said photo is making it's way to the page...well then, my friend, you have been looking for the good.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4fvdq" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJADxP0dZzqgMfWnqaH6RvNsi0mU6G75TKLMsBdOUYdqVKdUop42ToZcsCJrcuE40ZXEkOsvwKXcVFGGzIFOsB5MbypVTSwyBQmyYgzGWE_71GkoFhvP1h18e-rNGcKVtV6QJwWwbi93Rh2JQS_1keTnYdW5wOx2H5W3duh_JhCDHiHZog2BqCFmlBQys/s16000/_02feb29%204%20Ode%20To%20Celebrations.jpg" title="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>And what a celebration that is! </p><p>We take the photo, we print the photo, we lay it out thoughtfully on a page, and that is a celebration. We storytelling-scrapbook-page-makers of the world add celebration to the place just by doing what we do!!!</p><p>How great is that???</p><p>These celebration moments you get to share on your pages. And others get to be invited into those albums and books and find the spirit of that celebration too. We usually can't look at a page like this one here and not smile. And don't even get me started on the science of smiling!!!</p><p>Get obsessed about your scrapbook pages. Look for the good in all the little parts of your day. And create spots of celebration in your life by doing just that.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4fvdq" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjXPFiTAvlvNXiVCBaHVsGggpmJSX_sVLvzDsO5Dt2LoFjDN_jfOdmGr4irWJSVE0m8UBWbTI7Zwv8GN79dfCGKeC80aDvjIrIZrko-jXNfH83XoRnWkFOc31rRvichpqQpRuZjfzyQ4C95VFuuhyphenhyphenBUlj49loO3TuBqUqPBc62-M1KDfFsaedFwVKUqQw/s16000/_02feb29%205%20Ode%20To%20Celebrations.jpg" title="How To Celebrate Daily | Layout Idea | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Disclaimer: Hey friends...when you shop the links in this blog I receive a small kick back from your sales from ScrapbookCom and Heidi Swapp Shop.

That foam is so good about shaping around the circle. That was adhered to the pink die cut circle. Then, I used an assortment of sequins and mounded them in the middle of the card base. Next the acetate pink framed circle was adhered to cover over the sequins. Using our beloved embellished cluster technique, I added the thank you, the florals, and the butterflies to create lovely layers of pink goodness. Finally, new Prima ribbon helped to top the card which now actually looks more like a tag. Huh. What do you know about that?</div><div><br /></div><div>Now.

Not really wanting to dive into all those nuances at this time. Except to say this:</p><p>Memory keeping takes time. Documenting takes time. Writing it down is a discipline.</p><p>Does it need all the pretty stuff and techniques and color on a page to make it into something lasting? No. You already know that. Nope. Not at all. Not even a little. To put pen to paper and write thoughts and insights and words is one of the most powerful things you can do in the evidence making of your life lived. That in and of itself is enough. And it is also so much! If you were to do just that, daily, the journal of life you would have would be absolutely amazing!

The 'making it pretty' or 'adding the stuff' literally slows us down. It brings pause. It brings with it insight that is only ours to have. It brings enrichment to our lives by way of visual evidence on paper.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPhFp-VDzu5LTce_ntKZ42D8EoXFFV-ZjOo_3fxgpEPhu5yRDgL6I06Ne6RCFEt7tu0Cma7rVS-2cvslAK29fDoUJchr9SeG_a3Pln3o4XtJzTWO5DxYPyQ8AwuEsn_sH_2uFX7wHtEsq1UPR4xUlK6y1LOKgMr4bUecDyknrqSFYwcqIvvOahi1Lan8A/s675/_02feb14%206%20Jan%20MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Things You Discover | January 2024 Memory Planner | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPhFp-VDzu5LTce_ntKZ42D8EoXFFV-ZjOo_3fxgpEPhu5yRDgL6I06Ne6RCFEt7tu0Cma7rVS-2cvslAK29fDoUJchr9SeG_a3Pln3o4XtJzTWO5DxYPyQ8AwuEsn_sH_2uFX7wHtEsq1UPR4xUlK6y1LOKgMr4bUecDyknrqSFYwcqIvvOahi1Lan8A/s16000/_02feb14%206%20Jan%20MP.jpg" title="The Things You Discover | January 2024 Memory Planner | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p>I'm feeling a whole lecture and preach and class coming from this today.

What do you know? I have alluded to art journaling being a sort of hobby. I do not share too much of my journals. Not really sure why not.</p><p>But...part of what I have dabbled in (and most especially during the winter months) has been watercolor. Seemingly, I keep returning to watercolor play. Not a real artist, mind you. No. Nor really much ambition to be one. I like to dabble though. The dabbling brings with it much satisfaction.</p><p>Let me share with you a real simple 'watercolor' thing I have been doing lately. Found the idea on YouTube, of course.

So, wanting to give that some play, I used it to add the doodle to the ink. It was so much fun!!! Really easy. And I'm now wanting to throw down some hearts and flowers. And who knows what else. </p><p>Love me this no pressure approach to the things I love. Pen. Paper. Color. Ink. </p><p>Now please note, the pen ink is not waterproof. The ink needed to dry before doodling over that. When I did had the ink and it was still wet the ink bloomed a bit, which I actually did not mind. To me it was pretty cool. This is not about perfection. This is about discovery. And that's just what I did. I discovered how these elements came together in a super simple way and was content with the outcome.</p><p>Oh...and...if you simply really like roller ball pens this one is for you. The tip is .8 so it's a bit broader. The writing is super smooth. And as far as pens go it's a super amazing value when you can get 3 pens for under $6. Anyway, thought I would throw that in there.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikycXnWU_189QVFNQWe9YmgGFF-iAw7c3TKIKt5umyCpFbPDEUF8ixFA2gTqphnZrIVmXEn8bJe-OHsktv1cdpWOqD8JQkhsJbIBO3Whf00mwdBnoJOKQzw2_7iFKANNsDu_MOefV-oZGCHg-KZGNmoGQGSvIWwwqBTWaiYFNpRUTHRq3-eUrBqgMGfig/s900/_01jan24%207%20WSW%20WorkSpaceWednesday%20Roller%20Pen%20Doodles.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="When Doodle Meets Ink | Workspace Wednesday | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikycXnWU_189QVFNQWe9YmgGFF-iAw7c3TKIKt5umyCpFbPDEUF8ixFA2gTqphnZrIVmXEn8bJe-OHsktv1cdpWOqD8JQkhsJbIBO3Whf00mwdBnoJOKQzw2_7iFKANNsDu_MOefV-oZGCHg-KZGNmoGQGSvIWwwqBTWaiYFNpRUTHRq3-eUrBqgMGfig/s16000/_01jan24%207%20WSW%20WorkSpaceWednesday%20Roller%20Pen%20Doodles.jpg" title="When Doodle Meets Ink | Workspace Wednesday | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>And here's the thing. While I may add these cards (I cut up Mixed Media Paper to 3x4 then rounded the edges) to my art journal, or memory planner, they are perfect to share too. I can add a note to the back and give a note to my daughter or neighbor or friend. Just because it's a hobby does not mean it's not to be given away. </p><p>So tell me what you think. Would you doodle a bit like this too? Do you have a 'hobby'? Do you need one? Let me know in the comments. </p><p>And Happy Hobby Month to you!!!</p>

I appreciate you being here and reading. You support my theory that blogs are not really actually completely dead. Right? They aren't are they?</p><p>Secondly, I wanted to confess, I have not been great about documenting and sharing these still photos of the pages of Memory Planner with you. Even though these are November Memory Planner pages that are being posted here, it's my reset to start again to indeed do just that: share Memory Planner pages a month at a time here on this blog. Starting with this one.</p><p>And, thirdly, what's the reminder you say? Well. It's not really original or anything. It's actually a gentle encouragement, but I did not think that would play well as a blog post title. But here it is:</p><p>You. Are. Not. Behind.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/I1oem5-pUm8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Let's Remind Ourselves Once More | November 2023 Memory Planner | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2W4pkVyfbFgZSDYenwn5o9IcwkZMQiivr-BY3BNGIX1swQR33u7DYFfiLG7yw5PRBVwuwg3eLIr8KHvEwf3eiBfoyRoRM631OVbO4uFaMrF2shi5bgIHcY2Mxbi-Wv6aM9Tf2W8Js8e73X3mtFnL40s2EFbSwqfoppS5fvwlrxZ00gm9lwMgpjAoyhZo/s16000/_01jan12%201%20Nov%20MemPlanner.jpg" title="Let's Remind Ourselves Once More | November 2023 Memory Planner | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p>Which goes right along with something you are probably tired of hearing me say: your stories never expire.</p><p>So then, why do I say this so often?</p><p>Because I hear all the stress out there of "I'm so behind." </p><p>And this should not be a stressful place in our life.

But...as the date was looming in on me and I was adding daily to the December Album that I had in process, and getting ready for family to be here for Christmas, and all the other shopping and making and doing that is Christmas...deep breathe...well I made a decision.

Well, ok...I guess you could say hard in that I had to be dedicated to the doing and the catching up, and the hard that can come with being disciplined to follow through with my goals. Other than that? Nah! Not hard at all.

Take the photos. Take some daily notes (the new Stop the Blur Journal is perfect for just that, find <a href="https://shrsl.com/4bwdi">HERE</a>). And then create intentional time to place those stories lovingly in your pages.

Now. This might not actually be necessary. But then again, perhaps it is. With it still being the beginning of the New Year, it just might indeed be a great time to have this little conversation with you all.</p><p>Let me start off by declaring this:</p><p>Hello! My name is Jamie Pate. And I really really like to make stuff.</p><p>There. That should about cover it.</p><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4dgi7" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Why of Random Making Stuff | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifwyOa06k0psoHBO5O3Rueujv3o4MEqkSf76mlSFX_lVaudmGRFzKVQUnBoIndiVgroA7uLhEsEq8WgcikpsxvWpa7zuxSwSPtPFQ69qvUZALdnjjbPWtpuCkH1Yjz6EjdaSCxO0WnDrs-C9TF2mHE62BjxzcIcuCBvX4s1oZ28xnx3WpyoZYDI0aVi7U/s16000/_01jan10%201%20Clarification%20Blog.jpg" title="The Why of Random Making Stuff | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><p>Here is what I feel may need to be clarified: just what exactly does the above mean?</p><p>My hope is to inspire my friends to create. However, I do not hope to then incur a frenzy, if you will. By that I mean, one day I may be posting and talking about Memory Planner. And you all so graciously join in the conversation over on the Facebook design page and it's just so good and meaningful.</p><p>But then, I post a MemoryDex card. Well, I feel this little shift takes place like a boat getting a little tossed at sea. And then the chat becomes all about MemoryDex and how much we love it and wish there were still products to be had to support that wonderful making medium. (More on that in another post...hang with me here and stay focused.)</p><p>Thus a clarification may be needed...because when it comes down to it, I just really really like to do and dabble in a whole lot of making things.</p><p>Do not think I am alone in this.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4dgi9" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Why of Random Making Stuff | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgruz2i8BcYzI55cFoUoqvbLHdPQE_-LtKgyGGETp7h5ipJmfmlMrZs1eT95gtFMHsdzV9Yk_dEviRzn_kZvOx6CIe0w0ulcRuIzHxnjh4rriUwTOiS4QqkKHimT8kwzwunUBl3PBGFP96r2YmNMNmAIR43ZyzP34Os_DtXWc4KQ2X17Tbo4fNNikQZjmA/s16000/_01jan10%202%20Clarification%20Blog.jpg" title="The Why of Random Making Stuff | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p>So, once upon a time, as a mere preteen, I read the book called The Diary of Anne Frank. That pretty much changed a trajectory in my life. From that time forward I began to keep a diary. We now call those journals. But it started a life long love of my own written word and now absolutely everything that surrounds that.</p><p>So then, what does that now fuel in me even to this day? The desire to encourage any and all to 'write it down'! Let's summarize what we have going so far: I love to make stuff. I love to write stuff. So then of course that lends itself to this: I love to make stuff and then write in and on the made stuff.</p><p>And just what does that actually look like in the real time of what I do with my days and then post about?</p><p>It looks like: Scrapbook pages. Scrapbook albums. Art journals. Themed journals. Memory Planners. Cards. Tags. Stuffed envelopes. MemoryDex cards.</p><p>Does that make sense?</p></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/3068v" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Why of Random Making Stuff | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="1013" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQ9Xpl3JgnaaP_yytLNTypErda_aFBeFoRH6rLpB8Vlv0LMMLETP94sC0abXGK_1BckRg4pE7QUYUjljb8p8mh9UU5reBBJ7Xy5TAIY1a9qKbB-FB5bbtx47IX0RFvsF5u56maFdedo-pp-XhzHK5oAEbQXkGlOipar_4GMedCaGBOpn3PtJ9JC1uvWo/s16000/_01jan10%203%20Clarification%20Blog.jpg" title="The Why of Random Making Stuff | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><p>I'm really not that spastic in what is happening on the daily here.

But to be sure, what I make for them is (as much as I am possibly able) congruent and organic to what it is I like to make and want to share.</p><p>Does all that make sense?</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jamiepate.com/2023/06/3-ideas-to-explore-on-page-scrapbooking.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Why of Random Making Stuff | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Sftl-GnW_JWbzJdP_t4GhrIAEr_Hs4D0DuyIya7cYGPg0pzeLBKNaN1m8Q6L1q1cA0-mfDzZacxiufhra2ZyMGlfDQ9-Pb38RAjatT37XsJhzzL8fQ1Hd97ngttlhGsZYh2GPnjdvvmI-uHUpCuWYbxrOirmZ3i5dEo6Issxor_gU-Z-L5RxnP1355I/s16000/_01jan10%204%20Clarification%20Blog-1.jpg" title="The Why of Random Making Stuff | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p>One more thing. Let me give you a small example of what is on my workspace as we speak right this minute: (afterall it is Wednesday when I am writing this: #workspacewednesday anyone?)</p><p>There is a project that I am not able to reveal at present. That project is not only providing for me some much needed creative play (which I highly recommend), but it is also providing fodder for the One Word album I will be keeping this year too. While I am making samples to be revealed at a later date, these samples are either fueling much needed creative time, or they are allowing me to add to a current album.</p><p>Also, on my work space, are some samples for another project. With that I was able to go ahead and fill in the month at a glance for February Memory Planner which I have been longing to do. Those month-at-a-glance pages in the Memory Planner get neglected by me. But I want to create better time to fill them in. So I did just that. Rendering that page authentic, true to me, and also will be a fun example to share with you for your own Memory Planner inspiration when I am able to share it.</p><p>And one more thing: thank you cards. I need to make some thank you cards. And as we know when we make tags, that the tag is the gift? I believe the same thing for cards as well. </p><p>My hope today was to share with you why it may seem I just share a broad and random array of stuff on the social platforms that I share on. I'm really not trying to be random. But I do believe in having more than one project going at a time. So thus the sharing. Of seemingly random things.</p><p>Know this, it all stems from the absolute love of creating. Of making stuff. Seeing what I can pull together from a presorted stash of pretty stuff. I'm a maker. Who loves to document too. So. That's what I do.</p><p>Now, therefore: go forth and make.</p><p>SUPPLIES:</p><p>for each project click on the image to find supply list</p><p><br /></p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small; letter-spacing: 1px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Hey friends...when you shop the links in this blog I receive a small kick back from your sales from ScrapbookCom and Heidi Swapp Shop.

Indeed, they never run out. They never expire. There is not a best of date on that packaging. At all. </p><p>So what does that mean for us storytellers who also know what it means to stay present and be all in where ever we are? Well, it means, that we can come back and tell those stories at any time. At a later date.</p><p>As a matter of fact, somewhere in my scrolling I came across a soul who was finishing up her December documenting from 2021? I say, hoorah! Love that. That story teller completely gets it!

The week up to Christmas just always seems to be especially busy. Family was pouring in. Out of town guests were getting settled. Big family meals every night. Parties with all the frivolity. This girl was just sort of going with it all. Not making too many plans to try to get the photos printed and the story continuing in the 2023 album. </p><p>Instead, setting it all aside, making sure my priorities were right, and trusting in the reality that the story I was living would be there to tell at another time when my home was not full of the holiday festivities.</p><p>So that's what I did.</p><p>And here we are. Days away from the end of the year. Am I stressing over getting the rest of the stories into that gorgeous velvet album? Nope. For stressing does not get them in there. </p><p>Will I perhaps simplify the rest of the documenting up to the 25th? Maybe. Because another of our oft said mantras here is: something is better than nothing.</p><p>And oh...what if I don't get it done until next November?</p><p>Well, I am going to make the decision that that is OK too.</p><p>Is it preferred? Nah. Not necessarily. But is it OK? ah. Yes. It will be OK.</p><p>In the mean time I will tell you what: it is my hope to log in here on my blog the stories that are in my book ready to share. (<a href="https://bit.ly/DecAlbum2023Playlist"><b>And to be sure those are already documented too on my YouTube channel</b></a>.)</p><p>But more than that, to encourage you, if you are not where you want to be either, to be kind to yourself, and say OK to the not getting it all done (yet) when you think you should.</p><p>Because why? Because our stories never expire.

Sincerely I was just curious as to how it was going for you. For you see, this time of the month, the days before Christmas, can get hectic and hurried and down right heated at times. In the asking of this question, I have really appreciated the honesty in the replies. Mostly the response has been something like this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"Haven't started yet, but will get it done sometime."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"Scaling down this year.

I know you! I know you all. You can be tough on yourselves. You can think if it is not all then it's a fail. And it's just not true!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's my hope, that no matter what level of the documenting this month brings to you, that when you are at that end place, you can step away with a smile and say, yes! This is good! Whether that happens December 26, December 31, January 22, or June 1st! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Those stories are always gonna be there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And the inspiration for those stories will always be available on my YouTube channel as well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To be sure, my goal is to have all the days posted here on the blog, so that you can take longer looks if need be. The inspiration is here for you whenever you are ready for it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You all are wonderful souls with big hearts and amazing stories.

So when the together moments happen it's a great opportunity for that story to find it's way on a page.</p><p>Whether one takes ALL the photos or not.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4codo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Story That Lasts Forever | December Story No. 02 | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCZ5SoKFALmRdSvMeE_FVMaNu-bFnxzHe-o6Eg0lWE7b_Fj9Xmq33PpPQm28toznOsTh_zWYTNqPzt5uFou_tsAmHay8pKZ3IBHnTXjGuE9X1gSunekjSIy_8ULhyaXDNDa9dQRdsBNskoW1QK8lfaYiTHN6pYtnjn_aA-6_liasbDjWE7Y3ZIT47NKMk/s16000/_12dec19%202%20Story%20No.%2002.jpg" title="The Story That Lasts Forever | December Story No. 02 | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Confession: sometimes I get really wrapped up in the story of the moment, the people, taking in the moment that I am currently filling, and I forget to take the photo.

But that does not mean the story has to be missed as well. This is why I preach journaling. Journaling the story that is in your mind as you remember it and giving it place on the page. Don't forget to do that. Be in the moment. Stay present. Try and take the photo. But if it's missed...be gentle on yourself. Don't mourn what you think you missed. Because you still have the memory of it. Write it down! What a great ability we have to write down the stories we have encountered.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4codo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Story That Lasts Forever | December Story No. 02 | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S_D7bVSsBp9_j6S1MlYqSIsd3vz_dgK8EHa9ojUvjZ_3QONJ_FPf5FujfbBinxKcYxYGCvI8M9rUnrwbBaeBOZmEeZnKXe-LJ3UnjcK4uXScmEmHuaLpDdSllEaDaf0g2V8qOZAW0QNSjIN3ifxIxyg2gM7w-cFeSAjzQZ6f7WupoirPM7UZVQi2W_Q/s16000/_12dec19%204%20Story%20No.%2002.jpg" title="The Story That Lasts Forever | December Story No. 02 | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>That is the story that lasts forever. The one that is written down. How do we know what happened in Ancient Greece? Not because we have a photo do we know of the life that was lived then. It's because someone wrote it down. History. History is the writing of the story. You get to be your own historian. Scribe. Journaler. What a lofty calling.</p><p>As seen in these pages here, I did not miss the photo. I grabbed quite a bit. And it filled more pages than usual in this December Album of 2023. And that's OK as well. To find out more about how this page came together and more, watch the video below. And remember: tell your story.</p><p><br /></p></div>

The mind started to determine how to make it see through all the way through to the next page. That's when the acetate idea came into play. Making this shaker on a piece of acetate was going to be the approach.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCgQ_A4UYMrin0KJkTLm9gLSCI8dIH_vyUkWqAWGw6CYcvWaKs1zQ93q09OkfALqOfv6QWe1Z71Y1pjM8sYwqj8gBkNxQBChuX39C9dQHaHn8zbaChC16kr7cqwQE22drqTuBtdVTVTeq74_S51eWWsGd9blkxdAN-uNEoccXXUSlJVi08i86P1WFeUus/s675/_11nov21%205%20DecPag01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How To Shake It Up This December | December Album 2023 | JamiePate.com" border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCgQ_A4UYMrin0KJkTLm9gLSCI8dIH_vyUkWqAWGw6CYcvWaKs1zQ93q09OkfALqOfv6QWe1Z71Y1pjM8sYwqj8gBkNxQBChuX39C9dQHaHn8zbaChC16kr7cqwQE22drqTuBtdVTVTeq74_S51eWWsGd9blkxdAN-uNEoccXXUSlJVi08i86P1WFeUus/s16000/_11nov21%205%20DecPag01.jpg" title="How To Shake It Up This December | December Album 2023 | JamiePate.com" /></a></div><br /><p>After that decision was resolved the rest really fell into place.</p><p>Create a frame to hold in the sequins and bits.</p><p>Layer that baby up with 3mm foam adhesive tape. That was a great move right there.</p><p>Adhere the frame (<a href="https://shrsl.com/4b60y"><b>I used Chipboard Frames from 49 and Market Christmas Spectacular</b></a>) to the acetate by layering the acetate page to the back of it so to speak. Watch the video it makes so much more sense.</p><p>Then, this is the part of the show where I got to play paper florist because I then layered the frame up wreath style with several die cuts. This really worked out well as the layered wreath covered up the frame. The frame was square, but I formatted the die cuts in such a way that it was more of a circular wreath. </p><p>I called this layers on steroids. Just being funny that way.</p><p>The whole page was then finished off with a simple embellished cluster that just made for a finishing touch.</p><p>Is this something you would try? Have you made a layered frame like this before? How about acetate, do you use that much as a medium? It's a great clear element to have on hand for this and other paper crafting ideas. </p><p>Be sure and check out <a href="https://youtu.be/PhEUwzMvH1I?si=gwV9fbrqvdEq9iEa"><b>THIS</b></a> video to watch from start to finish how indeed to craft this page. It was great fun. Gave much satisfaction.

This blog has been around for quite some time now. The hope is that you will find much making inspiration. Perhaps a bit of food for thought. And maybe even an idea to make and give to someone else. With all that in mind, I want to hope for you a very beautiful Thanksgiving week. Even if you are not in the States, my preach is that any time is the season for gratitude. And I am grateful for you, dear readers.</div><p>With that, I suppose we cannot ignore that it is Black Friday. Like. Everywhere! Not really sure how Black Friday became now Black Week...perhaps you could give me some insight. </p><p>Before I do take a very quick moment to relay here the deals and give-aways that currently abound, I also want to share a quote that I came upon very recently: </p><p>'Let's DO Christmas, not buy Christmas.' </p><p>Which is why so very often you are going to find me here encouraging the making for others. The materials that you bring into your making spaces can find an abundance of ways to be made into something else. And those lovely gifts are some of the best gifts of all.</p><p><br /></p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; letter-spacing: 1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey friends...when you shop the links in this blog I receive a small kick back from your sales from ScrapbookCom and Heidi Swapp Shop.

Some days I am...some days not so much. But I digress. Heidi Swapp has made available the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4b5rg"><b>fifth installment to her Stamp Therapy series</b></a>. </p><p>About this class:</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #636363; font-family: Raleway, verdana, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin: 15px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">The holidays give us ALL THE REASONS to get out our stamps, inks, and dies… and start creating amazing tags, toppers, and notes perfect for GIFTING all season long! This is where it starts: “the NICE list”, session 5 of the Stamp Therapy series! In this class, we will be learning how to build, combine, and create amazingly inspiring holiday-stamped “scenes” on tags of all shapes and sizes! Which, said tags will, in fact, out-shine any gift it’s tied to! We know, the hand-stamped tag is the real gift! And therefore, any gift that QUALIFIES for an original, made by YOU, tag adorning the top of the colorfully wrapped parcel, well… we know that recipient is without a doubt on “the NICE list”! </p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #636363; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin: 15px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a great class to gift to you or to a friend. What Heidi teaches you will serve you in all seasons. Plus right now the early bird pricing is in effect. So ... there you go!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #636363; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin: 15px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">OK.
