HAPPY (inter)NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!
One of my favorite days of the year...
I love how the internet is just jam-packed with inspiration from manufacturers & designers today...it really is a scrapbooker's dream!
Here are a few pages I put together this week using items from Heidi Swapp...I LOVE all these foiled accents! But man, are they hard to photograph! (smile).
On this layout, again, I used patterned paper from the Memory Planner pad and embellishments from both the new Instax Collection and one of Heidi's new sticker sets (also available at Michaels Stores).
I love creating with these sticker packs! They are color coordinated, so you simply have to pick the book that goes with the colors on your project and you're set!
The rest of the girls on the Heidi Swapp Media Team are creating some fun stuff today, too! Click below to see what they're creating with some of Heidi's newest items...

For this page I used Heidi's brand new Reactive Art Screen Ink and Teal/Silver Ombre foil to create my title. The paper is from Heidi's Memory Planner 2016 12x12 Paper Pad and the stickers are from the new Heidi Swapp Instax Collection at Michaels Stores.
That ombre is seriously the coolest!

just a few layouts...
Today I'm sharing the projects I made last weekend for National Scrapbook Day...specifically the layouts I made for Heidi Swapp's #5wordsgiveaway...
See...Heidi was a contributor for Big Picture Classes' NSD10K event...and this was the layout she made...
...5 words to describe her beautiful baby girl, Capri.
Part of Heidi's contribution to the 10K event was a video with some great stenciling tips using her new Mini-Stencils and Jumbo Numbers. Heidi challenged her followers to spend some time over the weekend playing around with the numbers and stencils and creating their own 5 Words layout.
So that's what I did...
And here's what I made...
...and...
...and finally...
I really enjoyed creating these...and they came together fairly quickly (I spent probably 2 hours or so on each one) because Heidi had already done all the really hard work...I just had to make my own versions.
I truly hope these inspire you to do something similar for the people you love. My kids were so excited to see their "words" - I'm pretty sure I made them happy with these...
To see even more "5 words" inspiration, check out the hashtag #5wordsgiveaway on Instagram.
Oh yeah...I used so many different collections on these projects I'm not going to give a supply list...BUT if you see something specific and you'd like to know where it came from, just shoot me a message - maggie@midwesterngirldiy.com - and I'll let you know.

And, in celebration, the Lifestyle Crafts Design Team is having a Blog Hop! Woo hoo!
First I want to share a new layout I made just for this occasion...
I used a number of fun Lifestyle Crafts dies and We R Memory Keepers embellishments on this page (for a complete product list, see below) and I just love how it came together. I find myself making a whole bunch of 8.5"x11" layouts lately...I think it's the perfect size for so many projects...especially if I'm trying to keep things fairly simple.
One of my favorite parts of this layout is the inking I did in the bottom left corner and the on the right side. I used a 3x4 laser-cut card from the collection as a stencil and simply added some yellow ink with a makeup sponge.
We R has also come out with some amazing new products...including some new sets of enamel dots (you can see some examples scattered throughout my page) that contain pieces in different sizes, shapes and colors...all in the same package!
I've been super-crazy over vellum lately and I find that it's making its way onto each and every one of my layouts. One of the things I love most about vellum is that you can add a whole bunch of it...over and under photos or as embellishments and it's just never too much! So awesome!
On this page, I used my Evolution and a little arrow die to cut a bunch of pieces of vellum. I added the shapes around the layout...stapling them here and there. The dies cut this fantastic paper like butter...even when you fold it all up so that you can cut more than one shape at a time.
So, there you have it! My early contribution to NSD...are you inspired? I sure hope so! Now, head on over to each of these amazing blogs for even more We R/Lifestyle Crafts ideas!
And, as if all that fantastic inspiration wasn't enough, THERE'S MORE! In honor of NSD, We R Memory Keepers is giving away this fantastic tote on their FB page!
