Creating with these stamps will be so much fun. I love that they even made the strawberry and the stem separate images so that you can stamp them in different colors. That makes for faster, simpler, and easier stamping for sure.

You can add the Taste Of Summer Paper Packet and Stamp Set to your Scrapbook Fiesta Workshop when you register and I will have everything there for you when you arrive. I will even bring you the workshop instructions for both the scrapbook pages and cards in case you would like to create those while you crop.

Picture My Life Card Buffet

At Scrapbook Fiesta you can see what Picture My Life is all about. The Picture My Life Buffet lets you choose a sampling of individual cards and Memory Protectors as you like, or you can purchase a Value Meal to select a group of pieces you want to work with. It's a great way to try it out.

You can use the Picture My Life materials as a story extension to what you are already working on, or add a card as a photo mat, journaling spot, or title card to your classic scrapbook pages, or even add them to card fronts. There are 13 different themed collections to choose from, making them quite flexible for so many projects.

Space is limited.....register today!!
