SWAA Zoe Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop this month where we are featuring the beautiful and NEW, "Zoe" paper pack!  You are sure to fall in love with her; I promise!

If you are coming from Melinda's Blog, you are on the right track.  If you were to get lost along the way, you can find a list of participants by clicking HERE.

This is the fun happy birthday card I made.  I absolutely LOVE the polka dot pattern contained in this paper pack as I am sure you can already tell.  It is so fun and happy and will be perfect for many artwork creations!  Canary cardstock was incorporated to add some color.  I even colored the white sequins (soon to require) with my yellow ShinHan marker!  I so love being able to do that! The sentiment us from the August Stamp of the Month, "Framed".

I also colored a clear Expoxy Bubble with the Cherry Pink ShinHan marker to make the perfect cherry for my ice cream topping.

The ice cream cone and ice cream scoop were cut out of the new, Artistry Cricut Collection released August 1st!

Here is a photo of the coordinating Complements for "Zoe".  They are too fun!

Happy Hoppin'!

CTMH Paper Focus Blog Hop - Zoe

This paper pack, "Zoe", debuted on the 1st and it is so fun!  I can totally predict it is going to be a popular one and we are excited to share some fun artwork incorporating it.  If you are coming from Sheila's Blog, you are on the right track.  You can find a complete list of participants at the end of this post.  Now...to check out the Zoe goodness...

An "Express Collection", using Zoe, was released in Studio J on the 1st and I decided to take advantage of it.  In fact, I created four layouts using it, in less than an hour.  How is that for speedy scrapbooking?!  Gotta love when that happens!

This layout highlights the fun I enjoyed with my papercraftin' sisters when we attended the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington, TX, in June.  My friend and team member, Angie, owns a retreat spot in Mansfield and so we went to spread the Crafty Creations Retreat goodness.  

What I love about these layouts and the Expression Collection is I simply uploaded my photos, dragged them into the photo boxes where I wanted them and added some journaling.  That was it!  I loved the title for this layout and felt it was perfect for commemorating these memories.

This is a screen shot of what the Express Collection looks like in Studio J.  (Click on it for a larger view.)  There are five layouts that are ready for your photos and journaling!  You will be amazed at how fast you can get layouts done when using Studio J.  I love it!

Some people say they can't get away from the touch and feel of paper and embellishments and... neither can I, but I sure love being able to whip out some fun and quality layouts while not making a mess and I can do so soon after the memories are created.  I love that!  So while it doesn't replace papercrafting for me, it definitely has its place in my life!  

One of the best things about Studio J, besides the quality of the layouts and the ease of creating them, is being able to try it out for FREE!  All you do is create a FREE account, if you don't already have one, and give it a try!  You only pay for the layouts, at a great price of just $6.95 per layout, when you are ready to have them printed and shipped to your door!  How is that for service?!  Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.  Imagine yourself...sitting on the sofa, with your family - maybe watching a movie, with a laptop on your lap and your preserved memories coming to life!  

I always love reading comments so please consider leaving one before heading over to Melissa David's Blog.  Thanks for hopping with us this month!

August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Framed

Welcome to our Blog Hop where we are featuring the August Stamp of the Month, "Framed".  If you are coming from Wendy's Blog you are on the right track.  If you were to get lost along the way you can find a complete list of participants by clicking HERE.

This set can be yours for just $5 with a qualifying order.  Click here to find out more details.

Of course I had to use the NEW paper packet, "Zoe", on this card.  It released today and is a fabulous paper pack!  I know it will be very popular!  I especially LOVE the polka dot pattern - and I am sure you will see me use it on a lot of other artwork creations.  Do you blame me?!

I used Glacier cardstock for the banner strip and flipped over the Polka Dot paper for the houndstooth, Glacier pattern.  Desert Sand and Sorbet inks were used to stamp the frame and sentiment and I had to use the beautiful...AND new...(drum roll please...) Coral Shimmer Trim!  Yep!  It's new and it's beautiful and there are two more new colors to be released on September 1st! This color is available now so make sure to add it to your order this month!  Three Gold Sequins were added to finish off the card.

I loved keeping this card simple and hope you love it!

Happy hoppin' and have a great week!
