August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Wow, i can't believe it is August already (well almost anyway).  Time sure does fly.  Anyway.  it is time for the new SOM hop and I just love this set.  It is a base and shade flower which really makes this image a standout.  It is called "Something Splendid". This set is only available in August, so go to my website and you can see how you can get this set at a discount or even free by clicking on the stmp of the month in the top right corner.  As always we have a large group of extremely talented consultants participating.  So come along and hop with us.  Just click on the link at the end of each post to go to the next post.  If you get lost along the way you can go to Helen's Blog for the complete list of bloggers.  You should have arrived here from Sylvia's blog.

I used the paper pack "Splendor X7124B colors used are moonstruck, goldrush, topiary and sunflower.  It is hard to see in the picture but I used dimensional adhesive to pop the flower. The card design is based on the card on the "Veranda" WOTG guide.  I stamped the small branch stamp on the ribbon and finished it with a colonial white edge anchor.

Next stop on the hop is Shannon's blog.  I am sure you will enjoy the fabulous artwork you will see on my CTMH sisters blogs.  Have fun and Happy Hopping!

swaps i made for convention

Well, our CTMH convention was here and gone and as always was so much fun.  I love all the great ideas, the sneak peak at the new products, hanging with my CTMH sisters and of course swapping like crazy.  I thought I'd share with you the swaps I made.

I used "Boom di ada" paper pack, B1306 "Cottage Floral" stamp set, D1284 "with Love" stamp set, "Dimensional Elements Perennials" Z1139 , and I inked with sponges, stubble tool and stipple brush from Z1298 distressing tools.  I used the "wishes" idea book which has multiple card "workshop" ideas which made this quick and easy.

I used the same paper pack and the stamp set is one of my very favorites "Be Yourself" D1349 and "Glitz Stardust Glitter Glue Z1313 which was used on both projects.   i just love glitter and this is nice and neat, no glitter all over me and the table and the floor etc.....

This design is from "Expressions" idea book and uses "Good times" paper pack.  The stamp is retired from a travel set and I used it because it says "Washington DC" and that is where convention was.

I love swapping.  I got so many lovely cards that I swapped for.  I am planning an open house in September and will have all my swaps on display (as well as lots of new products and a sale table)  Details will be posted soon.

I am looking forward to scrapping today with my sister and will complete the projects I made at convention and add pictures to the pages we made.  I hope to post soon and give you at sneak peak at what is coming in September so stay tuned......

Scrap Happy!

June SOTM blog hop

It is that time again,  Another month, another great new stamp set and another blog hop.  They are so much fun and there are so many ideas and great projects to see.  So sit back, relax and hop along.  We have too many consultants for me to count (i'm too tired from Memorial day Party) but my guess is at least 60.  My fellow consultants are so creative I love to see what they came up with using this set of 9 stamps called "Wonderful Friend" (D1422).  Click here to go to my website and see how to get this great set at a discount or even free.

If you have come here from Georgia Hauglid's blog you are on the right path.  If you get lost along the way you can always hop over to Helen's blog for the complete list of participants.

My card this month is based off of a design from "Wishes" (a CTMH idea book) called "Right Design"  I used Barn Red textured card stock, B&T (patterned paper) from "Passages" level 2 paper pack.  Ink is New England Ivy, bigger brad is Barn red (for the tie tack) and a metal "Foundry Bookplate" as well as buttercup sassy strands (retired).

Well, it is time to move on to my good friend Antoinette's blog.  She is so talented and I can't wait to see her at convention. I am sure you will enjoy the rest of the hop.

Have a great month and keep on scramping.

May SOTM Card

OK, so it is a week later, I made the card but it was my boyfriends birthday card so I couldn't post it til after I gave it to him on Sunday.  Then of course I forgot to take a picture of it.  He took a picture for me but  then I couldn't open it.  Well, it is finally here.  I hope you like it.  It is definately more of a challenge to come up with masculine cards.

I used "You Rock" Level 2 paper pack and the stamps that came with the "You Rock" workshop on the go kit as well as an outdoor denim brad which came with the kit and the card design is on the WOTG guide. 

I am vending at a crop tomorrow so time to finish this up so I can finish packing up.

Goodnight,

May SOTM Blog Hop

Well, It's that time again to see what the new SOTM is and see the fabulous artwork created by me and my CTMH sisters.  They are an incredibly creative group of people and I love seeing there work as much as you do.  So sit back, relax and enjoy.  It is a circle hop, so each consultants blog leads to the next one.  if you get lost along the way go to Helen's blog for the full list of participants.  If you have come here from Antoinette's  blog you are in the right place.

This months SOTM is "Cherish The Moment" a set of 8 checklist style journaling type stamps.  I just love this set.  It is great for cards and scrapbook pages.

I am working on the album from my son's Bar Mitzvah and I thought this was perfect for the page I was doing.

I used paper from "Stardust" level 2 paper pack, versamark ink and gold embossing powder for the stamp.  I marked the check off boxes with clear sparkles-I used the smallest ones.  I really like this set.  Check back later as I am planning to make a birthday card that I will post tomorrow.

Next stop on your journey is Traci's Blog.  I am sure you will see some great projects and get some inspiration to get your own creative juices flowing. Remember, the SOTM is only available until May 31st! Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!

Enjoy the Hop!
