A Beautiful Day For a Scooter

When I saw the Heart 2 Heart Challenge to share your favorite stamp set, that was the perfect opportunity for me to actually create something using this adorable scooter in the Make It Merry stamp set.  The sketch for this week at Freshly Made Sketches (FMS153) was perfect for the image.  After stamping with Black ink, a few ShinHan Touch Twin markers were used to add some color.  Finishing the card is a fun sentiment from the Happy Birds set, and some super sparkly teal Glitter Paper.  

Vroom ... vroom ... as part of their Favorites Month, the Design Team for Heart 2 Heart Challenges selected my scooter card as one of their favorites shared for Favorite Stamps. 

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

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!

Happy Little Life

Hello from the annual Close To My Heart Convention which is being held at the Disneyland Resort this weekend.  It is a beautiful hotel, and consultants received a very special room rate.  It is wonderful to watch the fireworks over the castle from your hotel room window, while listening to the accompanying music through the special Disney television channel.  

At different times during Convention, CTMH has planned projects and provides every consultant with all the supplies needed to create their own.  These projects always incorporate new papers, stamps and other accessories just announced during Convention.  As a Creative Session Helper for Friday afternoon, I had the opportunity to complete the scrapbook layouts in advance so that others could reference my samples and ask me for assistance while working on their pages.  

The title of this page, stamped using the new Handwritten Print Alphabet, reminded me of this great photo of my son and grandson.  They were enjoying an afternoon at the park.  

Papers used are from both Chalk It Up and Wanderful kits.  The various stamp images are included in three other new stamp sets:  Here We Go, Glitter Glam and Happy Birds.  You may notice two new colors which were just introduced; Flaxen (a golden yellow) and Glacier (a soft blue).  There are also new Gold Sequins and Gold Shimmer Trim.
