Welcome to the Hop!

Today is the monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop, and I am glad you are here! Today we are celebrating the June Cape Cod kit, and I have two projects to share with you! If you started on the Club Scrap Creates Blog, you are in the right place. If not, keep in mind that you can access the whole list of hoppers from there at any time.

My first card uses is a Curved Fold card from the Move It CD (which was released in March). I decided to cut into the 12"x 12" paper to use the 10" lighthouse for the focal image. I loved cutting out and stamping the lighthouse images - it took me back to the many, many times that I vacationed on the Cape. If you are familiar with the geography, my in-laws had a house in Chatham (if you are not familiar, it is on the elbow of the Cape). The lighthouse images have particular meaning for me, because the most well-known area on the Cape is the Chatham light.


The second card I made for the hop is also from the Move It CD -- it is an Inside Out Card. The images were colored with Pastel Chalk Pencils. I used the Cape Cod Stencil to add a textural feel to the inside, and I used the netting and charm embellishments on the outside of the card.

I hope you have enjoyed the artwork today! Time to visit Julie Heyer -- The Cape Cod Scrapper. You just know she has something wonderful in store for you.

One last thing. If you would like to enter the drawing for a Move It CD, you can still leave a comment on the Club Scrap Blog on the link HERE (comments on today's post will not be counted; only those on the Club Scrap Blog will be eligible to win). The winner will be announced tomorrow.
Enjoy the hop!

National Scrapook Day Blog Hop

 
Happy National Scrapbook Day! Today I am happy to be part of the Club Scrap Blog Hop celebrating the day. If you started at the Club Scrap Blog, you are in the right place. If at any time you "get stuck" in the hop, go back to the Club Scrap blog for the next link, since they are all listed there.

Today I decided to create this large tag book from the 3D and Fun Folds CD. I decided to use the Up, Up and Away kit from Club Scrap to make this, um, uplifting tag book.

This is not just a cool little book, but it also makes a great mini album. Hope you enjoyed it!
Your next stop on the hop is Julie Heyer. Enjoy her beautiful work!

I always have my pens...

Pens Pens Pens. You set one down, you lose it. It was like that in our Stamp Show booth UNTIL we added the Paper Rose Pen Set from the Great Gifts CD. Now we never lose a pen!

This makes a great teacher's gift, a gift for an officemate, or even just one for your own desk.

Hope you have a great day!

Baby Step Ladder

I have been trying to refresh the artwork in the Technique Junkie stamp show booth -- we encourage people to pick up and touch the art, and after a while it gets a little grimy. So between Holly Brown, Beth Norman and myself, we have been adding to the artwork in the booth.

The card above is an example of the 5" x 7" Step Ladder card from the 3D and Fun Folds CD. The adorable duck on this is from Sweet Stamps. It's so cute!

Of course, the CD is still available -- it is $17.95 for 70 tutorials. Information can be found here.
Have a great day!

Sparkly Split Negative

Just a quick little card today from the Shimmer Glimmer Sparkle and Shine CD. It is one of the 45 Technique from the CD, which is $14.95. I love this technique and it works well with Foil OR Glitter.
 
Have a sparkly day!

Spring Chorus Blog Hop



Welcome to the hop! Today is the monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop, and we are celebrating the Spring Chorus April kit. If you arrived here from the CS Blog, you have come to the right place. If not, you may just want to go back there to start again, since the list of all the bloggers are there.

I chose to make the Embellishment Chest from the Technique Junkie Newsletter 3D and Fun Folds CD. I thought the paper and stamps were especially well-suited for this project. The drawers in this chest are big enough to hold A-2 sized cards, as well.

Although I hated to do it, I cut the flowers out of one of the 12" x 12" sheets to wrap around the box top.You can see how they overhang the edge better in the photo on the right.

The next stop on the hop is Julie Heyer. Thanks for stopping by!
