Pinkies Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue Blog Hop.........


  1. We’re so glad you could join us on our Blog Hop. We’ll be showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep on hopping. We love comments, so please do tell us what you think!

    If you have arrived here from Caro's blog, a big hello to you.........

    This is a doubly exciting blog post for me, as not only is it my first ever Pinkies blog hop, it is my first ever blog post!

    I decided to do a scrapbook page for my project, as this way I can showcase some of my favourite products from the new Annual Catalogue (the new Gorgeous Grunge stamp set jumped out at me the instant I saw it in the new catalogue and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.)...

  3. .......and  also so I can introduce my blog - Bedlam & Butterflies - at the same time.

So why Bedlam & Butterflies? 
Well .... Bedlam for my two little boys aka. the Bedlam Brothers. I definitely have my hands full with these two. If they go quiet I get suspicious. I learnt that the hard way as you can see from the pictures! 

When I designed the page layout in my head there was much more white space than there is in the finished page. I did consider redoing the project but I think this layout expresses the chaos of my days, so I left it as it is.

  1. .......And Butterflies? 
  2.  
  3. Because the very first stamp set I bought was of butterflies and then when I joined Stampin' Up! the very first stamp set I bought was Papillon Potpourri - a set of butterflies, quickly followed by the matching punches!

  6. Hi Tracy, great layout. I like the subject.
    I have a niece who, when she was 2 years old, decided to get creative with my mothers make up bag. The results were awesome! I'm glad I took pictures of her before we cleaned her up. So, it's not only boys!
