SG Blog Hop


Welcome to the Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop for June. If this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.
You can find the SG sketches in their books and as downloads in the SG store, and there is a free one every month in case you wanted to try it out.

I chose to use March 2014 2-page layout...only 49-cents!!!!
---------------------------------------------
I flipped the layout (left to right) so my pictures would flow better.  I used CTMH's retired Chantilly Paper Packet so I could use their NEW Chantilly PML (Picture My Life) cards!  I cut all my shapes using CTMH's Artbooking Cricut Collection.  I added some Black Glitter Paper for a dark contrast and a little sparkle!  Let me tell you...this Glitter Paper cuts smoother than any glitter paper I've ever cut! (you can click on the photo to see it larger)
----------------------------------------------
Here's a look at the left-hand layout...see that cute little PML card in the center "Happy girls are the Prettiest"...isn't that the truth!

-----------------------------------------
Here's the right-hand layout...
I just love how baby's hands work...something we take for granted is such a great feat for them!

Next on the hop is Tina's Blog, leave a comment on each blog and one lucky commenter will receive a FREE sketch bundle of their choice from the store. The winner will be drawn on Monday, June 9th which leaves you one week to leave a comment.

In case you get lost at any point, here is the list all the blogs

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you will head over to the SG Blog and grab some of their FREE Sketches or find one you like for super cheap!

Kaboom Blog Hop...


Thanks for joining us again this month for the SOTM Blog Hop...this time featuring over 50 Consultants.

Here's a peek at the stamp set...it's so Summery!!!


If you've come from Susan's Blog, you're on the right track!  Keep hopping around 'till you get back to where you started.  If you're starting here, I'll see you when you get back :0).  If you get lost along the way, Melinda has a full list of bloggers {{{here}}}.

I went with a RED, WHITE & BLUE theme for this stamp set but with words like "Celebrate" and "Party" and "FUN", you can do whatever your little heart desires.

I used Kraft, White Daisy & Honey Cardstock together with Timberline Paper Packet

-------------------------------
Here are some close-ups and a peek at the inside...

-----------------------------------
Here's what the inside looks like...put the red glitter trim under the Honey Star border for a little sparkle...after I stamped the "let's Celebrate" on White Daisy Cardstock, I took my micro-tip scissors and cut around the image leave about 1/16"...it looks more finished this way and is harder to mess up the cut.
--------------------------------------
Sometimes I don't want the starkness of some of the colors so I add White Daisy Ink using the direct-to-paper distressing technique.  Here's a close-up and a look at the difference...(click on the image to see it bigger)...can you tell a difference!?!?!
Thanks for hopping by!  Your next stop is Mary's Blog...go leave her some LOVE!

So Very Nauti(cool) with H2H...

H2H has chosen a GOOD challenge this week!  It's all about water, sunshine, anchors and anything else that the word "Nauti(cool)" brings to mind.

I've been wanting to use some of the FREE cuts from my NEW Cricut Design Space and this anchor is one of them!

---------------------------------------
I chose to use CTMH's Free to be Me paper packet since it'll be gone in less than a week!  I love how Summery the colors are and the embossed cardstock is simply FABULOUS!!!  I pop-dotted the card front with 3D Foam Tape so I could add some gold sequins underneath.

--------------------------------------
Here's a peek at the inside...I used the retired Tommy Boy WOTG Stamp Set.  I added some more gold sequins to the inside for a little 'somethin-somethin'...


Thanks for stopping by!

Don't forget to head over to the H2H Blog and link up your Nauti(cool) projects...we can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

May Specials coming to an end...
