Collect Beautiful Moments

Hey crafty friends! I’m excited to share this card with you today. I had a lot of fun creating it and while the process was messy, the card turned out beautifully. That reminds me that sometimes we process things in our lives in a rather messy way. That’s okay. Please don’t ever let that stop you from processing as the end result can be quite beautiful.

This was the first card I created as a part of the Fall Design Team for my local scrapbook store, Aall Scrapbook Essentials. Please check them out if you’re in the Kamloops, BC, area. They have lots of variety and the customer service is amazing! Or you can check them out on their website Aall Scrapbook Essentials – Home I hope I linked that properly 😊

Anyway, the main product I used for this card was the Simple Stories Big Bits Simple Vintage Love Story ephemera pack. There are 14 pieces of beautiful ephemera in this pack. I know I’ll be creating more with it in the coming months.

I started off this A2 card with a white cardstock panel measuring 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches. I used the Paper Rose Distressed Mesh stencil and some pearl white stencil butter to give some texture and design on a few spots. Then I splattered a bit of salvaged patina distress oxide spray and tarnished brass distress mica spray over the panel. When everything was dry, I adhered the panel to an A2 card. I then glued the beautiful camera on and popped the butterfly up with foam tape. Finally, I stamped a sentiment with a Tim Holtz stamp (THMM113) and popped it up with foam tape.

I really like how this turned out and I love the sentiment with the camera. I hope it encourages each of us to take time to collect beautiful moments rather than rush through life. We live in such a fast-paced society that if we don’t make time to collect beautiful moments, they will pass by without us noticing them. There are beautiful moments in every day. Choose to see them.
