Smile! It's a Triple Decker!

I told you I love this June Stamp of the Month.  Maybe now you will start to believe me!  LOL  Here is another fun and simple card I made using it.

I did cut out the sugar cone (it is my favorite cone and the one I always choose when I have a choice) and three of the scoops so I could layer them as I did.  The "Smile" sentiment came from the Carnival Washi Tape (it is another one of my favorite new products).  I placed it on White Daisy Cardstock and cut around it.  Then I added some of our fun Gold Polka-Dot Washi Tape and a Clear Sparkle, colored with the Carmine Marker.  The main card is paper from the Blossom Paper Pack.

You can order this stamp set for just $5 this month!  Check out my website for complete details or let me know how I may help you!

Life Is Sweet

Life IS sweet, isn't it?  This stamp set and card are perfect for celebrating all the surprises and blessings that life holds. 

I had fun creating this sweet but simple card using the "Documenting Moments" stamp set.  I incorporated Sunset and Smoothie patterns from the Paper Fundamentals paper pack (can you tell I love those paper packs?) as well as some of the Blossom patterned paper.  I cut the cupcake, cupcake wrapper and cherry out of the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I thought it was perfect for conveying the theme of the sentiment.

I had an incentive in the post on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 entitled "Summer Goodie".  Both Molly's and TCope's names were entered and here is the result (arrow, for the spinner is on the left side):

Congratulations, TCope!  Will you please email me with your mailing address and I will get your stamp set in the mail to you in early May?!  (I look forward to greater participation in upcoming giveaways!)

Seasonal Expressions 2 New Product Blog Hop

The Heartfelt Sentiments Team, while I lead within Close To My Heart, is showcasing new product recently released on April 1st in the Seasonal Expressions 2 supplement.  If you have been reading my blog you know I am in love with much of it!

If you are coming from Judy Faye's Blog, you are on the right track.  A list of participants is listed at the bottom of the post, should you get lost.

I decided to use Studio J, our online scrapbooking program, to showcase some new product and to scrapbook photos taken just last Friday.  How's that for a quick turnaround?  If you have never used Studio J, here is a link to follow for some additional information, or do not hesitate to contact me.  The best thing about Studio J is it is FREE TO TRY!  Completely no obligation and I paid just $6.95 for this layout which will ship straight to my door and...NO MESS to clean up! :)

This is my favorite new paper packet...say it with me..."Blosssssssssoooooommmmmmm".  I am truly head over heals in love with it.  It is so fun, beautiful and springy/summery!  Of course, it was perfect for the photos I took while visiting my family in New Mexico for the Easter weekend.

 These are photos of my sweet niece, Alyzae, and my parents, Richard and Maria Elena.  They were taken in my parents backyard.  I did very little to alter the layout of these pages, simply adding in the "complements", some brads, and I virtually cut a border for the little sentiments ("two of a kind", etc.).

There are so many things you can do with Studio J and if you still prefer the touchy/feely kind of scrapbooking (which is still my preference but I love me some Studio J), you can purchase the Blossom paper packet and Complements here to recreate this layout for yourself!

Leave a comment and let me know what you think of my layout!  I would love to hear from you before you head over to Melissa David's Blog to check out what she has to share!

Happy hoppin'!

CTMH Paper Pack Focus Blog Hop - Blossom

Welcome to our Blog Hop where we are featuring the fun and beautiful new paper packet, Blossom!  I love the fun patterns and colors of this paper packet, perfect for this time of the year!  If you are coming from Tonya's Blog, you are on the right track.  A complete list of participants is listed below should you get lost along the way.

This paper pack was newly released in our Seasonal Expressions 2 supplement that was released on April 1st!  Here is a link to view it online or contact me or your CTMH Consultant for a hard copy.  This is one of those paper packets I will totally wear out for absolutely good reason!

I had fun making this card, adding in Sunset and Lagoon cardstock, some Glacier Thick Twine and one Coral Reef Sequin.  For a variation on the envelope, I used a Designer Creations Lagoon Paper Bag.  Doesn't it make for a fun envelope, rather than something that plain?

I used the Tagged with Love stamp set, an exclusive Hostess stamp set, for the sentiment.  I love it and know I will be using it for future projects.  (You can only get this stamp set when you host a party - in home or online - and reach just $150 in sales.  Contact me or your Consultant for more details.)

Here is a closeup of the sentiment.  I stamped the tag in Lagoon ink and the sentiment in Cocoa.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you love what I made and enjoy creating with Close To My Heart's fabulous new products!  Please consider leaving a comment before heading over to Melissa David's Blog to check out her fabulous artwork!

Have a blessed Easter and happy hoppin'!
