Beautiful Swallowtail Wings

Butterflies abound in my garden this year... I've been so blessed to see these beautiful Monarchs and Yellow Tails... among a variety of others.  If you don't now, they sell butterfly enticing bushes... simply called Butterfly Bushes.  We planted them outside the windows where my kids have their toy nook.... the view is so worth it
(we have hanging hummingbird feeders here, too). 
 
Capturing my love of butterflies on these sweet Smash Book This and That book is easier than ever with our brilliant tools and stamps....
Join me with these fluttering pages that are created in a couple of minutes....
The Epic Day This and That book is a new trend in scrapbooking, journaling, prayer books and more! 
 
The Smash Book is loaded with patterned paper and comes with the coordinated Epic Day This and That Designer Series Paper (#130814).  Using the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439*) and the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz (#114507) die to create these butterfly accents in a lined paper - perfect for inspirational quotes, journaling and more!!

Flipping the Page is easy with these tabs I created for the Top, using scraps from the Epic Day This and That paper and our punch.  Adding these side tabs from the coordinating Epic Day This and That Designer Stickers (#131271).  This packet is LOADED with 4 sheets of fun coordinating stickers for $4.95 - a steal!!
 
Stamp, with Island Indigo ink (#126986) coordinated ink this beautiful, large, background stamp Swallowtail (#129216).  An easy way to accent the page and add a natural element.  CLICK HERE to see MORE of the FUN I've had creating a Smash Book.... and remember that this book is affordable, easy to mold into your own style and uber fun!!
 
Incorporate Nature into your Crafting!  With touches like these Butterflies, it's easy to do while creating a beautiful element to these pages.  With my Butterfly Bushes (make sure to get sterile ones or they'll take over your garden) I'm inspired whenever I look out into our yard. (sigh)  When you plant life in your garden and celebrate it in crafting projects such as this, you'll love how it grows into something special!!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
