Full of Adventure

My lovely friend Emma is back to doing her LOAD again during May (layout a day), and as it is usually a prompt she likes it if I also challenge her.  So, I usually trawl through my Pinterest boards and find something that catches my eye, it might be a colour scheme, it might be a scraplift, an element that has inspired me (and therefore hopefully Emma too!) maybe a sketch - you get the gist.

Today, I was remembering that I have a stamp in my collection that I love so much that I also bought Emma one for her birthday last year, but that sadly we both have massively under-used ... so far!  So, my challenge was to use the jar stamp on a layout.  I found a few pins to illustrate how it might be used (but Emma usually goes off on a tangent and does her own thing no matter what I send her!), one layout had one jar, one had a few, and one was covered in jars.  Of course, in challenging Emma to use her jar stamp, I was hoping that she in turn would inspire me to use mine ... and guess what?  She did!!!


Here is Emma's page, and here are a couple of the pins that I sent to Emma

I must admit that I love this one :)  Must remember to use that lovely little stamp more often!

  3. OMG!!! Carole, this is absolutely stunning!!!! and how lovely to see lovely Morris again too!
    I have wanted to get hold of a jam jar stamp for ages!!!!!! I have a tiny one (which I've not yet used) this is just soooooooo lovely, and dare I say it... I think it has got to be my all time fave of all your layout so far, even though your other layouts are beautiful too!
    What stamp is Carole? I MUST have it!!!!
    Lovely to see you blogging again, I promise I will update mine too, just got to find something interesting to put blog about now. Hugs Suzie xxx :)
