A Bit of Blot (Technique Blog Hop)

For the Technique Blog Hop this month, we are featuring A Bit of Blot technique shown on page 55 of the Close To My Heart Annual Inspirations book.

If you arrived from My Heartfelt Sentiments blog, then follow along with the link at the bottom of this post to continue the Technique Blog Hop.

Since coffee and donuts naturally go together, Saddle ink was used to create a background to resemble spilled coffee. The cute sprinkled donut from Treats of Friendship was stamped and embossed using Saddle Pigment Ink and then ShinHan Touch Twin markers were used to add color to the donut. A cute 'pun' sentiment from the same stamp set completes the card. Some pieces of 'weathered look' paper from the Seaside kit are a good complement to the 'coffee stain' paper.

Enjoy Today

Sharing another two-page scrapbook layout which each consultant was able to create during the Friday afternoon Creative Session at this year's Close To My Heart Convention. Details for the other Happy Little Life layout can be found in a previous post.

Using the new Flaxen and Glacier inks along with some Black, images from the Glitter Glam set were stamped randomly to create a background. Love the font of the Handwritten Print Alphabet which was used to stamp the title. The great arrow image is also from the Glitter Glam stamp set.

Papers from the new Seaside and Wanderful kits are used along with some Flaxen, Lagoon and White Daisy cardstock. Even though the same stamps, inks, and embellishments were used for the two layouts on Friday afternoon, each page is very different. The feather image used on this page is from the Happy Birds stamp set and the "happy happy happy" is included in the Here We Go set.

Be sure to keep watching my blog for more posts with artwork from Convention!

Summer ~ Stampers With an Attitude (Blog Hop)

This month, the "Stampers With An Attitude" blog hop participants are sharing projects using a Summer theme.

If you have come here from 'Photo Fun With Fawn', you are on the right path! Blog Hopping is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one, or visit each blog from the list at the end of this post.

This Hip Pics Album is all ready for pictures of Summer memories. This was a creative project that Close To My Heart designed and provided the materials for consultants to create at Rediscover CTMH events this Spring. Each Hip Pics Album is a sturdy spiral-bound kraft chipboard with 8 white pocket pages (holds 16 photos). Each page of the album includes a window, and you simply slide a 4"x6" photo into the pocket page so that the 3¾" x 3¾ window displays the focus of your photo.

Stickers and journaling spots from the My Crush Best Day Ever Assortment are combined with stamp images from the Hello Summer stamp set and some paper from the Seaside kit. These stamps and paper are a "sneak peek" at some new product which will be available beginning August 1. To further embellish the album, Gold Polka-Dot Washi Tape and Flamingo Dots are used throughout.

Take a peek at some of the inside pages.
