New Release: Hobbies and Friends

      Hobbies and Friends

A new release is almost here!  Meet Hobbies and Friends, the newest set from Kindred Stamps in their planner line.  I am getting to a wonderful point where I can begin to combine all of my planner sets from Kindred Stamps and really create spreads that are in line with exactly what I need.

I used a wide variety of planner sets, mainly because I wanted to incorporate words from all of them, but all of the characters are from Hobbies and Friends.  My most favorite is Planner Annie on the couch!  If there has ever been a stamp set that I can totally relate to, it is this one.  Not that I ever have time to do this, but it is one of my most favorite things!






My second project is hidden within the spread.  You know I love my trackers, and there was no way I could resist a binge watching tracker for my current shows that I am watching.  Quick and convenient, just lift the flap to reveal a useful and adorable ROYGBIV (my favorite) season and episode log!  I used the new Hobbies and Friends set in addition to Kindred Plans Work and Kindred Plans Healthy.









The entire Kindred Stamps February release will be available Friday, February 28th at 8am PST/11am EST.  Be sure to subscribe to the Kindred Stamps blog to see a daily line up of sneak peeks from our amazing Design Team and see the full product release on Friday!  Come join the Fan Club and release event to be part of the release fun, and you may just win some Kindred Stamps credit!!

Twoo Wuv

Hello and Welcome!
Today I am sharing a fun layout featuring Kindred Stamps Twoo Wuv and Kindred Plans: Healthy.  In the spirit of Valentines Day, I wanted the "wuv" to continue into this week.  These beloved characters have been one of my favorites for many many years.  It was such fun to bring them to live in this week's spread.
I like using the bar on the left of my planner as a "to do" area for the week.  I cut card stock and covered the notes area and used some ink blending to carry over from the sunset on the other page.
To get the heart and sunset image, I cut out those shapes and used washi tape to carefully attach them to the page while I use my inks to blend of some smooth backgrounds. 
My trackers for the week are spread out over various days.  I combined stamps from Twoo Wuv and Healthy to create these cute trackers.  I love that they match with the theme, but stand out enough within the spread for quick and easy reference. 
I stamped the images with Archival ink on Canson multimedia paper.  I then used some clear embossing powder over the image so I could use my Spectrum Noir alcohol blending markers.








Remember, we all inspire each other, so please share all of your own adorable Kindred Stamp creations with us on our Facebook Fan Club!

Thank you so very much for stopping by and checking out my latest design.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it! 
Love, Dina
