Stampers with an Attitude June Blog Hop - Masculine Artwork

This month some team members from the Stamper's with an Attitude team, within Close To My Heart, are showcasing some masculine artwork. It is perfect timing since Father's Day is just around the corner so thank you for joining us.

If you have arrived from Sheila's Blog, you are on the right track.  You can find a complete list of participants on Melinda's Blog should you get lost along the way.

This "Camper Crazy" stamp set has had my attention since it was released, but I had not found the right purpose...until now.  I thought it was a great compliment to the Jackson paper pack that screams "manly" to me.  :)

I used our ShinHan markers to color in the image and sentiments and used the Colorless Blender to remove some color and aid in the shading.  I think I am getting a little better at it.  The sentiment was fun, allowing me to color in and shade a few of the words.  I did add some Durables Triangle Studs and Glacier Thick Twine for the finishing touches.

I was really pleased when I was finished and hope you like it too!  In fact, let me know what you think of this.  (I think it will be a fun card to give to my hubby but shhhh...don't tell him!)

Please head on over to Belinda's Blog.  I am sure she has something fun to share with you!

Happy hoppin'!

Jackson CTMH Paper Focus - Blog Hop

This month my team, the Heartfelt Sentiments, are showcasing one of the newest Close To My Heart paper packs, "Jackson".  It has an outdoorsy theme but also offers some versatility.

If you arrived here from Debi's Blog, you are on the right track.  A list of the participants are listed at the bottom of my post.

I chose to use the Jackson Picture My Life Scrapbooking Program for my artwork this month.

While my husband and I do not engage in camping-like activities, I thought many of the cards were perfect for commemorating this fun day when we went to downtown Fort Worth and had some fun.  ESPN was broadcasting live, in preparation for the Bowl College Series National Championship Game.  I was scene on live tv and I got to meet and had photo opportunities with some of the ESPN analysts.

I love how this page came out and feel it really captures all of the pictures...just perfectly.  LOL Tim Tebow, getting ready to go on set, posed for this picture just for me...  :)

We had a blast and these fun pictures remind me of the enjoyable and COLD day!

Would love for you to leave a comment before heading over to Melissa David's Blog.  Have a blessed and awesome week and happy hoppin'!

I'd Go Out On a Limb for You!

At first glance, this stamp set, "Tweet Me", would scream Easter at you (at least it did for me) but I was challenged to create something else with it and hope you will agree that I was successful.  In fact, the sentiments and images are all perfect for any time of the year.

I used some of the Jackson patterned paper as the main background for the card.  Cocoa and Twilight cardstock were used as the other two main pieces.  Of course I incorporated some Gold Shimmer Trim, for the right amount of sparkle, and then stamped the bird, tree branches, and sentiment in Black ink.

I used the ShinHan markers to color in the images and gave an attempt at some shading on the bird.  Both of the colored in images are 3-D.

It was fun being creative with this stamp set and I hope you have someone who would go out on a limb for you today!  Have a great one!
