March - Sugar Rush HWBH

This Blog Hop features Canadian Close to My Heart Consultants showing you their projects. This months challenge is to use the Dreamin' Big paper pack found in the Seasonal Expressions 1!

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.

When I first saw this paper pack in the Seasonal Expressions 1, I knew I wanted to create a mini album with it. I am not a fan of the bug side of paper but happily the opposite side has flowers!


The Front Cover

Inside the Front Cover

The next page has a lift flap! Under the flap and the opposite page were both stamped with the Dreamin' Big card making stamp set.

This layout used the scraps and zip strips plus the the Dreamin' Big Compliments.

These pocket pages can hold cards and any size picture up to 5x7

Inside the back cover, these pocket pages can also both hold any size up to 5X7! I used the Dreamin' Big compliments to embellish the page and to hide the magnet on the blue pocket.

*Confession time- When I started this album it was supposed to be an 8x8 album with a binding system of attaching the pages to each other. Unfortunately I couldn't get the pages together evenly. So I shrunk the album to 6X8 so I could reuse some pages. Then (I was really having issues) when I punched the pages with my bind-it-all, I accidentally punched the wrong side of the back cover. I fixed that issue with some white glimmer tape to hide the extra holes then repeated the tape on the front cover to match. I love how it turned out!

January - Sugar Rush HWBH

This Blog Hop features Close to My Heart Consultants from all over Canada showing you their projects. This months challenge is the brand new Sugar Rush paper pack found in the brand new Seasonal Expressions 1!

Happy New Year!

I created this card using the Workshop Your Way Sugar Rush Scrapbooking Kit. I also used the Sugar Rush Cardmaking Thin Cuts Bundle to stamp the sentiments and diecut the doughnuts. I love how easy this card came together with great papers, stamps and dies. I am loving this new Seasonal Expressions! The papers are so much better in person than they look in the catalog.

Welcome to the Hearts of the West team blog hop!

If this is your first time joining us you will love it. It features Close to my Heart Consultants from all over Canada showing you their projects. The Hearts of the West was founded by Nancy Klein.
This months challenge is Scaredy Cat paper pack, brought to you by the new Annual Inspirations, hand picked from Nancy Klein.
If you came from Jackie Vandaele's Blog then you're in the right place, this is a go around blog hop so you can start anywhere! Just in case, the full list will be at the bottom. So, as always, grab your coffee, tea, water, relax, and hop around the team with us.
I am excited to be back blogging for this Blog Hop! Halloween is so close and because of this challenge I now have cards ready to send to my Mom, my best friend and one for my only dayhome kid. And the cards are ready in time to mail!

I used the Scaredy Cat Bulk B&T Paper to make each card:

I used stamp set Halloween Greetings (D1605) to make this card. I used the Creative Insider guide for Scaredy Cat as inspiration, so this card came together very quickly and yet it is the one card that is the favorite among those people I have shown my cards to!

For this card I used Frightfully Fun (B1453) to create the 4 adorable characters on the front. The fussy cut Frankenstein on the bottom used Trick or Treat Sweets (B1460) because the Skull in Frightfully Fun looked funny to me on this card, so the Skull got used on the next card.....

This last card uses Trick or Treat Sweets (B1460) plus the Skull from the previous card. I used my new CTMH ShinHan markers to color in the characters on this card and the Frightfully Fun images too. These markers made the stamped images become Characters! It was coloring the images that made me realize that the Mummy image was actually a cute Ninja!

Your next stop is Linda Pekrul.

Welcome to The Hearts of the West Team blog hop. June Edition!

This month's color challenge has been picked by Nancy Klein. It's soft color pallet perfect for this time of year. The project is open to our choice to keep it simple.
You're in for a treat, so grab your self a hot chocolate, sit down and hop with the Hearts of the West ladies!

If you came from Corinna Murphy - http://corinnacraftfun.blogspot.ca/2014/06/junes-hearts-of-west-blog-hop.html then you're on the right track. This is a circular blog hop, if you get lost or want to start at the beginning then you can find the list down below.

This bird house was created using the CTMH Artiste Cartridge. My paper stash is very low right now. The roof of the house is from the Lucy paper pack and was inked. The circle behind the bird is from my only piece of sky blue paper. Everything else in this project was made with plain white card stock and was either inked, sponged or colored with alcohol markers in order to complete the color challenge.

The details:

The tiny circle behind the Artiste cut bird is actually sky blue paper edged in sky blue ink. Like I said, every thing else is originally plain white card stock. I was most impressed with how well the Artiste cut leaves look when heavily sponged with olive ink and coated with Liquid Glass.

The little window was actually another scrap piece of sky blue paper with each piece inked by sponging olive ink around the edges. Everything else on this side of the bird house was created on the Cricut Artiste Cartridge, the roof is a piece of Lucy paper, the rest were on white card stock and then colored.

I am so glad that this blog hop motivated me to create this adorable bird house that now looks great set on my fire place mantel!
