I love both sets! I resolved to do more scrapbooking this year, though I haven't started yet - so I would love to have Melanie's set. But I also love Rupa's set - it's a good companion for my favorite set of hers, Retro Boutique. Thanks for the chance to win!

Do you scrapbook?


If you don't, why not? If you're like me, you may think, "I don't have enough time for that." So, instead, your pictures sit in a shoe box or worse- on a hard drive.

I've been thinking a lot about scrapbooking lately and I think the biggest road blocks for me have always been:
1. I couldn't imagine scrapbooking every photo I have so I didn't do any.
2. I really didn't want to bother with the journaling part. (Sometimes I do, but not for every picture.)

I really enjoy just sitting on the floor and looking through my photos, in no particular order- just looking and remembering. In fact, I love the idea that I'm not sure what photo is coming next. So  I've decided to do some random scrapbooking, thanks to this new stamp set.

"The best things in life," the newest stamp set by Melanie Muenchinger is a collection of larger words and phrases that can be combined in so many different ways, it's almost hard to count!

When Melanie pitched this idea to me, I thought a lot about how I would use it. I knew I could make tons of fun projects with it, (just using it with her "What's in your tin" stamp sets alone would be so fun.) But when I realized that this would make my scrapbooking life so easy, I was sold.




I've used this photo before in a scrapbook page but it's one of my very favorites of Rina. So I thought I would put it in my new "Best Things" scrapbook. My scrapbook will contain a bunch of my favorite random photos of my kids, (at all different ages,) with different "best things" sayings.

With 39 words and phrases in this set, the combinations are endless! Of course this same greeting would make a great birthday or baby card. It would also make a super gift card holder. But I am most excited about choosing 20 of my favorite photos and making a 8 X 8 coffee table scrapbook. No journaling- just the photos and my "best thing in life" sayings.


Most of the stamps in this set can be die cut using nestabilities which lends itself to some cute staggered sayings with no need to line anything up.

And, of course, I've already seen Melanie's tip sheet for tons of great combinations for card making and scrapbooking projects galore! She will share that with you all soon, I'm sure!
.  .  .  .  .

I am in love with Rupa Shevde's newest set, "Perfectly Polished!" You will adore these images. It's like a day at the spa!

This set is so girlie! I know I will be reaching for it all the time to make cards for my friends, my Mom and sister and, of course, my girls!

Yesterday, I posted a tiny sneak peek so today I wanted to show you my full card.



I love these bottles of nail polish. I used some crystal lacquer to puff up the glass bottles. and make them shine.

 

I know you're really going to love the cute greetings in this set and how well they coordinate with the beautifully illustrated images.

You'll be seeing me use this set a lot here on my blog. I can't seem to put it down!

So, what do you think of "The Best Things in Life" and " Perfectly Polished?"

    I love that polished set. I think it will make some really great girlfriends cards. Those went really quickly when my mom was selling cards to raise money for the missionaries her church sponsors. I also thought that tidbit you included about owning salons was pretty interesting. I have never heard you talk about that before and I guess its cool finding out interesting things about people you read about every day. Thanks for sharing! I have never been a nail technician, but boy do I love them!!!! Looking down as I type, I need to go see mine.

    I love your idea to scrapbook only certain photos - not in any order, just the ones you love. I have always stayed away from scrapbooking because the thought of going to the beginning when they were babies is so overwhelming I just stay away from it. Your idea is something I could handle. Just a little at a time. What fun. I could sure use that stamp set now that the idea is in my head.

    I love these sets. I am like you. I have tons of pics of my girls but have not put them in scrapbooks as I find it too overwhelming. I think the random words set would be the way to go. I will have to try it. I also, love the polish set. My granddaughter loves to polish her fingernails and toes (she is 3) so would make a cute card for her or a gift tag along with some polish......hmmmmm.

    Hmmm, scrapbooking I think that is how my 'addiction' started. But, because I have an extremely hard time doing any kind of layout, I changed to card making. Smaller canvas, and quicker results. I may have to dust off my scrap stuff and get my pictures in order. I can't wait to see more Gina!

    Love that picture of Rina, too! I understand why you would include it. I don't enjoy the journaling part of scrapbooking either so I often leave it off. But now going back 9 years I can't remember much about some of the pictures. I would encourage you to find someway to at least include the month and year the photo was taken. My children all want to know how they were in the pictures and all I can do is guess. I do wish I had included this in my early scrapbooks. Love the nail polish set--it will appeal to girls of all ages, I'm sure!

    Wow, what great sets with so much potential! I've promised my daughter if she stops biting her nails, we'll start doing a Saturday spa day...so far, my Saturday's are still my own. Wonder if the nail set would help us out? As for the phrases, I think most of us are guilty of falling behind in our scrapbooking - this set would make for a lovely coffee table book, so thanks for sharing your inspiration!

    Scrapbooking was my first creative passion but once I discovered stamping it took a back seat. Stamping is quicker for me so I get the satisfaction of finishing something. Lately I have been thinking about scrapbooking again b/c it is important to me to record our family memories. Both sets are inspiring me--one b/c of the wonderful sayings that lend themselves to titling my pages and the other b/c I have some wonderful photos of the first time my little girl had me paint her toenails. Can't wait to see what is to come.

I tried to chronologically do the kids lives and ended up miserable. Now I just do what appeals at the time - much happier me and a much better project! Thanks for continuing to bring us fun and useful things to work with!

    I did scrapbook before card making took over my life. I've been wanting to get back to it. With the kids being grown and gone, and no grandkids yet. What a great way to show off some of my favorite photos! I love both sets of stamps, (I did nails 10 years ago too).
    Even it I don't win I'll be making this a purchase.

    Love the idea of using stamps in scrapbooking. I have gotten away from doing my scrapbooks and maybe this set would help me get back into the swing of it. Seems like greeting cards take up all my time. Thanks Gina for your inspiration.

    The Best Thingd In Life is such a perfect saying for so many things and your example is so true. We only have to look at others to know how lucky we are in our own lifes.

    Perfectly Polished is so "girly" and I can see so many wonderful cards being made with that set. Your example was great and you keep me inspired.

    I think the "all or nothing" approach to scrapbooking is what holds a lot of us back. This year I decided to just do it when I can, and not worry if I have 2-page layouts that match, or if they are in chronological order. I'm letting go of all the things that stop me from being creative this year!

    I love to scrap. Never seem to have enough time tho! My bad habit are the thousands of digi-photos I have. I have not narrowed them down, or printed them. What is wrong with me?!?!?

    Perhaps I have hit on a new year's resolution after all.

    Hi Gina,
    i can so relate to your story about not getting started on scrapbooking. My kids are in their late twenties, so the task always seems to overwhelming! I keep hoping for grandkids so I can start over but I'm still waiting LOL! I've thought a lot lately about making a few mini themed scrapbooks using just some of my favourite pics and very little if any journalling. Melanie's new set sounds perfect for this. Fingers crossed.

    I never got into scrapping...mainly because when it first became popular there was no digital cameras...and the thought of cutting up my photos or altering them in anyway...well...I didn't like that idea. I do love the idea you have of your Best Things scrapbook...I may need to rethink this scrapping thing and buy Melanie's new set!

Much more economical than paper scrapping and...there's an un-do botton!!! and the forum there is tops!! friendly and home-y!! I love the nail polish stamp set!!! just adorable!!

    I LOVE your idea of favorite kid pics with Melanie's stamps! It has made me want to do the same thing! Scrapping now is so time consuming compared to stamping cards! Thanks for a brilliant idea!

    I love the idea of scrapping "best things in life" photos! Too often we say we'll do it, but time passes by with nothing to show for it. Also, I'd love to win the set! Thanks for taking the time to remind us to do it!

    I want both of these stamp sets. Some of your sets the words are so small they are hard to cut with not much room between. On the cookie set I did'nt get the backing straight and it doesn't stay on block. they are so close to each other. But I love your designs. Anita
