{blueprints*} daily: Memory Keeping Made Easy

Yesterday marked the halfway point of our 30-day {blueprints*} daily journaling prompts! 

In case you haven't heard about these, you should check them out HERE on our website. The BEST thing about these is that they are so easy to put together, you could order one today and probably still get it done in time for Mother's Day. 

(In fact, why don't you do that? I'll wait here...) 

Now, in case you've missed them, Brandin's been sharing her answers to our daily prompts everyday over on our Facebook Page, but let's share today's right here too: 

Also helping to inspire you on this journaling journey are Kay Rogers and Diana Brodeur. Their pages are super simple, easy to recreate or just use as a jumping off point for your own journal creations. 

Today, Kay's journal page is a fabulous way to document this special memory: 

And Diana's...

{blueprints*} is designed to make memory keeping easy for everyone...we hope you'll join us! 

Now, tell us, if you could pick the theme for our next journal, what would it be? 

Who knows? Maybe you'll get your wish! (And *maybe* you'll even win one of your own?!) 

A Card Set to Swoon Over...

It's customary to include a card when giving a gift...but if you're a cracker-jack cardmaker, why not make an entire card set and give that as a gift? We could all stand to keep a lovely assortment on hand for those times we need something right away, and Designer Jill Cornell is here today to give us several ideas on how to do just that. 

Jill's Sunday Picnic card set is absolutely gorgeous, and it would make such a wonderful gift (or a nice little stash she could keep for herself!) Notice how these cards are Clean and Simple, but still have lovely details that make them visually interesting. 

They also feel like a set since they incorporate a lot of the same trims, patterns and sentiments. By repeating these things on each card, Jill was able to make them relate to each other, so when the recipient of this beautiful gift opens the box, she finds a family of cards that seem to go together. 

And if you're stumped on a great way to package a card set as a gift, why not try this clever little pocket that can easily be reused.

To create this, Jill cut a piece of cardstock to 8" and then scored it at 4.25", placed patterned paper on the front and then stitched the sides and bottom. Then she decorated with a doily, trim, a journaling card, vellum, flower and cameo. 

Finally, she punched a couple holes at the top to hang. The design and details pull it all together into one beautiful card set. 

So, are you a cardmaker? Next time you need a gift, why not put your skills to good use and create your own card set? We'd love to see what you're creating over in the inspireME gallery!

The Game is ON!

Tomorrow is the BIG day!! We're kicking off our first session of {blueprints*} Daily! But dont' worry,if you're on the fence, there's plenty of time for you to get your journal and join in...what a fabulous Mother's Day gift you'll have!

And today, you're in for a special treat. I asked Designer Larissa Albernaz to work her magic on a Game On layout, and being the overachiever that she is, she created not ONE but TWO for your viewing pleasure...

Larissa took a unique spin on Game On, not focusing on themed aspect, but creating layouts that celebrate the teamwork of her family. 

Of course, Larissa paid special attention to the details, showing how a few well-placed Dazzle-Me Gems can really spice things up...

...making this layout a HUGE winner! 

But of course, she didn't stop there. She created another page, this time using the adorable playing card designs in this collection. 

Again, the great thing about this is how Larissa took these sporty products and turned them into something completely different. 

Just a bit of out of the box thinking and you're good to go! And look how these gems really bring the whole page together...

Don't you think? 

So how about you? Have you jumped on the Game On Bandwagon yet? If not, what are you waiting for?
