Stampers with an Attitude, Taste of Summer Blog Hop

Welcome to our Blog Hop where we are showcasing this exclusive and fun paper pack, and stamp set, in honor of National Scrapbooking Month.  I have had so much fun with it already and the month isn't even near being over!

If you have arrived here from Melinda's Blog, you are on the right track.  You can find a complete listing of participants by visiting her site as she is the start of the hop.

I had such fun creating this layout using these products!  It highlights the fun I had last weekend at National Scrapbook Day, on Saturday, May 2nd.

 The layout is pretty self explanatory but I did use the Artbooking cartridge for the banner titles on both pages and the precious bow was cut with the Artiste cartridge.

These photos make me smile and remind me of the fun we had that day!

Hop on over to Catherine's Blog, but not before leaving a comment.

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mothers out there!  I hope you have enjoyed a blessed and enjoyable day!  Happy hoppin'!

Joy Captured

This past Saturday, I held a team training in Grapevine, Texas in conjunction with Joy Tracey and some of her team members.  It was a great time - both creative and productive - and I always enjoy getting together with them who have quickly become my friends.  

This was a layout I created to recognize the top seller from each of our teams.  It was created with the Brushed paper packet and the stamp set that comes with the Workshop on the Go.  It is adorable!  I also cut out these daisies from our Art Philosophy cartridge, cutting out a 1" circle to fit in the center.

I did stamp and fussy cut the butterfly to add some fun dimension and a few strips of Silver Shimmer Trim finished the layout off nicely.  

The butterflies, flowers and sentiment are all 3-D, of course.  :)

Here are a few photos of the girls busy at play (errrrr work) as they create some of their projects.  Gotta love when this is called "work"!

 Here is Joy and I!

Make it a MARVELOUS MONDAY!  I intend to!

Imagine Layout - Color My Dare

I am participating in the Color My Heart Color Dare #137 challenge.  We were asked to incorporate these colors into our creation so this is what I came up with!

I used the Brushed paper packet and Complements to create it.

This layout was so "soft" in color - I love how it turned out.  The Complements (aka stickers) are transparent.  For the purpose of my creation, I did place them on White Daisy cardstock and then fussy cut them so they stood out nicely on the layout.

I did use zip strips as the vertical border on the left side of this page and for the striped border on both pages.

I have some other layouts I created with the Brushed paper pack to come out over the next two days.

Thanks for stopping by!  Wishing you a great Monday!

Confetti Wishes Layout Workshop

Look at these three FUN layouts we will make on January 6th and even though they look CUTE in these photos, they look so much more adorable in person!  I finally found the pictures I was looking for, from my birthday celebration this past year in Santa Fe and will be getting those printed as soon as I have a moment to do so.  :)

There are complete details for participating, even long distance, by clicking HERE.  I would love for you to join me!  I have plenty of class offerings in mind for 2015!

Happy Friday eve!  Saying that makes the weekend start even sooner for me!  LOL

2014 Seasonal Expression 1 - Blog Hop

You are going to LOVE the contents of our NEWLY released Seasonal Expressions - Volume 1 that made its' debut on December 1st!  It is 39 pages of FABULOUSNESS including two brand new and beautiful paper packets and so much more!  You can view the online version by clicking here but it is best to get one in your hands.  More importantly, you will LOVE the product even more when you see it in person!  

Not that you need help falling in love with the new products, but I guarantee you your wish list will grow as you move through over 35 artwork items showcased through this Blog Hop.

If you are coming from Melinda's Blog, you are on the right track.  You will also find a complete listing of participants by clicking here.

I created this layout using the Hopscotch product line.  I incorporated the paper pack, Complements and Assortment.  Aren't they so fun and cheery?!  This layout was made from the Magic how-to book, pattern found on page 54, entitled "Hat Trick".

You can see, on the pages of the layouts, how the stickease and "buttons" (from the Assortment) added some fun texture to the pages.  Of course, I added dimension to the stickease with 3-D Foam Tape.  (One of my few CTMH addictions which requires no therapy. lol)

 I actually created two additional layouts I will be showcasing here soon and the little strip of zig zag stickease shown below...a negative from the hexagon borders I used on each page.  Gotta love when you can re-purpose what could have been trash.

Here are two additional layouts made with the paper packet and coordinating embellishments:

I will bling them up a bit more once I put photos on them.  Now...to get some developed...

Let me know which brand new product is on the top of your list today by leaving a comment.  I would love to hear from you!

Now, head on over to Adeline's Blog where you are bound to find something adorable to add to your list.

Happy hoppin'!
