Technique Blog Hop - Stenciling...

HAPPY Chocolate Candy-Hangover Day! It's February 15th which means it's time for another TECHNIQUE BLOG hop with some of my CTMH Sisters!

It's a small hop and it's about STUNNING STENCILS!!! 

Let's recap how this works....if you've come from Haley the Inky Scrapper Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

I decided to pull some EXCLUSIVE stencils from my Rewards Your Way products to create this pretty slimline card! By using three inks (Rosemary, Shortbread, and Papaya), I was able to create this sponged card front with a simple sentiment from the Chantilly Sticker Sheet...

----------------------------------------------------

I love how the inks blended into each other. Since these aren't Distress Oxide Inks, I was a little worried at how they would blend but they did so beautifully. And that sticker sentiment keeps the focus on the STUNNING STENCIL....

Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is Melissa's Blog (which also happens to be there very front of the line AND has a complete list of blogs in case you missed one along the way).

Chantilly Blog Hop...

HAPPY THURSDAY, Blogger world...I'm excited to bring you some artwork featuring a throwback for CHANTILLY!

I am joining a small group of Makers who LOVE this collection as much as I do. It's a round-robin hop so if you're joining me from Kim's Blog, you're in the right spot. Keep hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

I kept it simple, using my FAVORITE patterned paper from the collection and coordinating cardstock panel cut with the Rectangle Stitched Thin Cut. The sentiment comes from the Just Because Thin Cut (retired) to break up all the cardstock at the top, I used a couple of stickers from the Chantilly Sticker Sheet with a tiny piece of Copper Ore Paper (it goes PERFECTLY with the Chantilly Collection)...

Here's the Story - Feb SOTM Blog Hop...

Who else can't believe it's February 

Well, to make it a little better, I'm joining 12 other CTMH Makers in bringing you artwork featuring the latest SOTM - Here's the Story! If you've come from Melinda's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

I decided to make a travel journal using a CUTE journal I picked up in the Michael's dollar isle (or whatever it's called). Purchasing these quick journals make gifts SUPER EASY & CUTE to make and give away. 

---------------------------------------------------

I stamped one of the frames using Harbour Ink then fussy cut out and adhered to the cover. The Gold Loose Sequins put a little extra bling to the cover without it being over the top. I made sure to adhere them to the cover using using Micro Glue Dots...

-------------------------------------------------

I stamped every other page with some sentiments from the stamp set using Toffee Ink...

-----------------------------------------------

The SOTM comes with these tiny little numbers that I added dates on the top...it's more like DAYS of your trip, rather than dates inked up in Payaya...

---------------------------------------------------------

Here's a look at Day 4...aren't these sentiments PERFECT for this travel journal...

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to shop my website for this stamp set and more...all before the end of February!

Let's Get Geometrical Technique Blog Hop...

I am SO EXCITED about his month's Technique Blog Hop...thank you for joining us! The topic is LET'S GET GEOMETRICAL and I can't wait for you all to see what we have to share!

If you've come from my good friend (and upline's) blog, Melissa Robinson, you're on the right track...keep on hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

When this topic came up, I knew exactly what I would be doing. I've made a couple of shaped layouts in the past and while they aren't something I would want to do very often, they are SUPER FUN to make AND to look at when you're flipping through scrapbooks! Today's layout plays on the geometrical challenge as well as the Sweet As Honey collection I chose to use!

I decided to use Sweet As Honey to document more of our trip to see our oldest son in Virginia. I used a BUNCH of stuff for this layout but it all seems to mesh perfectly...even the Here & Now Stamp Set that I brought in...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some closeups of the clusters of Distress Oxide Stenciled Hexagons, Black Reinker Splatters, Cork Shapes, Stickers and Black Enamel Dots...I love all the different textures and dimension that they all give to the layout...

------------------------------------------------------------

Aren't those bees from the Sweet as Honey Cardmaking Stamp Set CUTE...
