HWBH-City Sidewalks

 Welcome to the Hearts of the West Blog Hop!

This Blog Hop features Close to My Heart Consultants from all over Canada showing you their projects. This months challenge is the new City Sidewalks paper pack.

 If you came from Brenda Gieck's Blog, then you are on the right track. This is a go around blog hop so you can start anywhere.  Just in case, the full list of participants is at the bottom of this post.
So as always, grab you beverage of choice and hop around the country with us.

I created this hexagon shaped box by following a great tutorial by Alexandra M on YouTube. This box was decorated using the City Sidewalks Scrapbook Kit.
Fresh Cut
 Cleaned up and Coloured
 The Evergreen Tree was created by a full 12X12 sheet of willow cardstock (just over 150 branches) cut using the Flower Market cartridge, X shift flower-1. (used the fill page setting.)  I used a vivid green Shin-Han marker to cover up the white core cardstock.  Then I glued the branches to a plain triangle of cardstock.   

The gifts where little tiny boxes made from scraps of the City Sidewalks paper pack. The tiny bows are made from ribbons in my stash and the two of the bows where made using metallic thread that my dear friend, Rondi, offered me when I worked on the project at her crop. The star on top of the tree is from the City Sidewalk Complements.
The sentiment is cut from cranberry cardstock using the Artistry cartridge, Holiday background. Then I used my shimmer brush to make it sparkle!
This Christmas my family will each get a gift in a hexagon box.
City Sidewalks was so fun to create with since all the papers coordinate so well and I also bought the coordinating cardstock too!

 I used the Tied Frame pattern from the Originals book to make this card.  This card was so much fun to put together! I used Jeepers Creepers papers and some Jeepers Creepers Compliments plus the Enchantment ribbon pack.  The sentiments were from both Monstrous Halloween and Sugar Skull.

March 2016 - Penelope HWBH






This Blog Hop features Close to My Heart Consultants from all over Canada showing you their creative projects.


This month's theme is using Close to My Heart's Penelope Paper Packet from the Mini Seasonal Expressions 1 Catalogue.



If you came from Corinna Murphy's Blog, then you are on the right track. This is a go around blog hop so you can start anywhere. Just in case, the full list of participants is at the bottom of this post. 



So as always, grab your beverage of choice and hop around the country with us.
March has Easter this year and it is the perfect month to create with a 
Workshops Your Way Penelope Scrapbooking Kit!
 
Using this Workshop Your Way Kit, I was able to make cards in my favorite style:


 I used the Art Philosophy Cartridge to make double mats for the  adorable characters from Spring Critters stamp set then cut using Spring Critter Thin Cuts.  I use a zip strip or paper, shimmer trim and a thin washi tape to fill in the side of the card and have the edge of the double mat touch the shimmer tape.  These characters were all  colored with Shin Han markers.


This last card was made also using a cricut cut double mat.  Then I used Art Philosophy to make 1/2" layered flowers and the cute coordinated birds where fussy cut from the bird paper in the Workshop Your Way paper pack!


March also means that Stampganza is back!  You could get Spring Critters for free with this promotion!

Stampaganza 2016!

March Constant Campaign

The wait is over! Who is ready for Stampaganza 2016? Buy any two My Acrylix® stamp sets (M-, A-, B-, C-, D-, or E-size) at full retail price and get a third stamp set of equal or lesser value FREE! That is a savings of up to $35.50 CAD! This offer is only available during March, so start submitting your stamp orders as soon as possible, and let the Stampaganza begin!
