Wild Berry Blast Blog Hop...

Happy MONDAY!!! I love when I have blog posts on Mondays...at least there's something to look forward to and today's post is going to be a BLAST (pun intended).

I am joining 9 other CTMH Makers to bring you ALL THINGS Wild Berry! The Wild Berry Blast is going on right now and will continue until the end of the month so you don't have long to grab these deals before they're gone!

If you are visiting from Melinda Everitt's blog, you're on the right track...keep on hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

The project I'm sharing today features the EXCLUSVIE papers and the Wild Berry Loose Sequins! I used the Make it from your Heart Vol. 5 (MIFYH 5) for this layout...

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

I used my Wild Berry Ink to splatter all over the White Daisy (although it doesn't look really white in this photo) Cardstock then added stickers from the EXCLUSIVE Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet and those Wild Berry Loose Sequins...scroll down to see my YouTube process video on this layout...

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

The chipboard pieces are from the EXCLUSIVE Wild Berry Blast Die Cuts...

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

You can see the pattern on the UV-Coated Cardstock from the Wild Berry Blast Special...

National Scrapbooking Day Blog Hop...

HAPPY EASTER and HAPPY April's-almost-over...can you believe it!!! That also means that May is fast approaching and that National Scrapbook Day (NSD - yes, it's a thing) is almost here! To celebrate, CTMH has several "kits" and this blog hop is featuring those kits to help you get inspired!

If you're coming from Haley Dyer, the Inky Scrapper, you're on the right track...keep on hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

I have a few FAVORITES from the NSD Specials and the Good Vibes is one of them! I love the colors, the icons, the patterns AND that I can buy multiple kits to stock up on that GROOVY Paper and Sticker Sheet without having to worry about having an extra stamp set I don't need.

I chose to make an 8-1/2 x 11 layout (I know...totally unusual for me) using a 12x12 sketch from Bella Blvd. Here's a look...

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

Our son's shirt was a perfect resting place for this title which came from the sticker sheet. And those 'splatters' are from my FAVORITE stamp set Perfectly Imperfect Patterns...if I had a dollar for every time I used this set, it would've paid for itself 10 times over...lol

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

This CUTE little clipboard is also from the Good Vibes Sticker Sheet as is the Glacier sub-title "Make Today Count" sticker. Those little doodle dots all around the patterned paper is from the Perfectly Imperfect Patterns stamp set. Oh...and the wood flowers also come with the Good Vibes Scrapbooking Kit...a win-win

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

More stickers and Perfectly Imperfect Patterns...

Thank you so much for stopping by! Head on over to Brenda's Blog to see what NSD inspiration she has to share! Don't forget that while NSD isn't until next month, you can order your kits NOW on my website {{{here}}}. You can check out my process video below to see how this layout came together AFTER you check out the rest of the hop.

April Technique Hop - Layered Flowers...

Welcome to this month's Technique Blog Hop featuring LAYERED FLOWERS! We have a tight knit little group being featured this month so it won't take you long to hop around and be INSPIRED!

If you're coming my very good friend and CTMH Upline, 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! 

Let's take a look at the little card I made using SEVERAL products. I started out with the cutting a bunch of the Layered Flowers Thin Cuts all in White Daisy Cardstock (#1 it's fast and #2 the possibilities are ENDLESS with white). I then colored them using my Mini-Blending Tools in Wild Berry, Sundance, and Avocado Ink. The flowers that appear to have a pattern on them were also stamped with images from the Perfectly Imperfect Patterns Stamp Set (ONE OF MY FAVES)...

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

The flowers aren't only layered but some have Thin 3D Foam Tape Circles separating the layers for dimension. I used the Sending Hug Thin Cut for the outside sentiment and kept the insides of the letters for impact. The card panel is stamped using the Barn Door Stamp using Toffee Ink and I also sponged Toffee Ink around the edges. The sentiment and flowers are backed with a Stitched Fancy Bracket Thin Cut and topped off with Wild Berry Loose Sequins...

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

I brought the Barn Door and Layered Flowers to the inside with a little bottom border of sorts and finished it off with a simple sentiment from the For All Occasions Stamp Set...

Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is Wendy's Blog...head on over and see what she's done with layered flowers. Don't forget to visit all the blogs for ALL the inspiration!

Have a WONDERFUL & BLESSED Easter weekend!

I chose to use the GORGEOUS In Full Bloom Scrapbook Workshop Kit as well as the In Full Bloom Cardmaking Stamp Set for my layout...

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

I love all the EXCLUSIVE floral diecuts in the Workshop Kit... -nd the edge are also EXCLUSIVE to the Scrapbooking Workshop Kit - it comes with an EXCLUSIVE stencil that I used to sponge around the edge of my White Daisy Cardstock...

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

More layering and EXCLUSIVE Die-Cuts with the word patterned paper from the March/April 2022 Mix-In Collection (this ALWAYS sells out so grab yours ASAP)...

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

For the 3x4 Flip Flap, I used the In Full Bloom Cardmaking Stamp Set + Thin Cut to create this little see-through flap. There's a how-to video being edited as we speak so check my YT Channel later this evening for that...

Thanks for stopping by! Remember that while the March/April Catalog runs through the end of April, everything is WHILE SUPPLIES LAST and we've been selling out of some favorites lately so hurry on over to my website to get YOUR must-haves!

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).

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...

Thank you so much for stopping by! If you'd like to watch this layout come together, scroll down to see the process video on my YouTube Channel.

Smitten Blog Hop...

HAPPY FIRST FRIDAY of 2022 and I cannot believe it's almost been a WHOLE WEEK in this year. It's going by so fast!

I am joining six other CTMH Makers to bring you some projects inspired by this month's SMITTEN Special! If you're coming from Kim'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!

CTMH has included so many ADORABLE PROJECTS with this Kit (and I will definitely be recreating those) but tonight I wanted to showcase a simple standard-size card.

I added a bracket from the Stitched Bracket Thin Cuts and some Pink Mini Hearts to add some bling (bling doesn't always have to be shiny...lol). I also chose an non-traditional color scheme for the CUTE little bee (Ice Blue, Bright Pink Shades, and Citrus Blend Tri-Blend Markers). The little bee's wings have some Clear Shimmer Brush over the Citrus Blend marker. I also tried to lighten the bold black stripes of the bee by using a white gel pen to add some doodling lines...

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

For the inside of the card, I used some patterned paper, being sure to include some of the lemonade hearts from the pattern to bring the yellow color to the inside of the card...

Thanks for stopping by! Head on over to Gina's Blog to see what she has to share. Don't forget to leave some love along the way (we LOVE reading your comments) and don't forget to head on over to my website to grab your kit!

Nov-Dec 2021 Catalog Blog Hop...

If you are coming here from Show and Tell with Michelle, you're on the right track! Keep hopping around until you've seen all nine CTMH Makers. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

If you know me and my family then you could've guessed that I would be using Candid Moments since my babies are featured on Page 9 of the Nov-Dec Catalog. In fact...I made that layout (tweaked just a bit) and also used the Candid Moments Scrapbooking Workshop Kit to make three more two-page layouts to feature more photos from our beach trip a couple of years ago. 

and...here are the layouts from the Candid Moments Scrapbooking Kit (tweaked a little as well)...if you love the patterned paper I used for the Layout base on this one, it's an EXCLUSIVE to the Candid Moments Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (that's one of the reasons I always buy the kits - to get the EXCLUSIVES...lol)

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

This layout is pretty much from the Workshop Kit except I chose to do the circles a little different...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that ombre patterned paper.

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

This layout was inspired by a fellow-Maker Brenda Rose - I love the circle stencil from Stencil Pack 2 in the top left and bottom right. I also added some Sundance Shimmer Brush splatters to add some shimmer and shine to this layout.  

Thank you so much for stopping by! You will now head on over the Haley Dyer, the Inky Scrapper Blog to see what NEW PRODUCT she is sharing!

Remember that this catalog is good through the end of December and we've been selling out of fan-favorites lately so hurry and grab what you want before it's all gone!
