Hope - Club Scrap Blog Hop

Welcome to the monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the Club Scrap Creates Blog, you are in the right place! If not, I suggest you go there so that you can follow along - a full listing of all the hoppers are on that site.

Today we are celebrating the June Club Scrap Kit - Hope. this is such a beautiful kit! I decided to create a mini album - A Page in a Box - with the kit's contents. The Page in a Box tutorial is one of the mini albums on the Stampbooking CD. (The CD is on sale right now, too, for only $12.95 plus shipping -- that is $5.00 off (a 35% discount). There are 75 tutorials for stamping in your scrapbooks on the CD.* The full list of what is on the CD is here, but make sure to order from the link below for the discount.

In any case, This is was the easiest Page/Box ever! I decided to add the center pop-up picture to add to the dimension. One of my favorite combinations is beach pictures combined with orange paper. The contrast is always stunning! One the box was made, the kit's contents made finishing the page a breeze.

The kids in the pictures are my friend's kids. They are stunning kids - great models! I happen to scrapbook with her frequently, and her pages are always wonderful - after all, her kids are gorgeous! I can't wait to give her this box. I think she will be thrilled.

Now, move onward with the hop: Julie Heyer, the Cape Cod Scrapper, is your next stop. Enjoy the inspiration!

Glimmer Mist Masking -- Try that Technique

As a scrapbooker, I am always looking for ways to marry all of my paper crafting tools into my layouts. That is one of the reasons that Jane Bosi and I produced the Stampbooking CD -- we wanted a perfect marriage of easy-to-do techniques that use Rubber Stamps on our layouts. The Glimmer Masking Tutorial -- the Try That Technique Challenge Technique -- does just that. After you are done here, you should go take a look at what Nancy Dawson and Jane Bosi have done with the technique. Just beautiful results.

Today's layout shows the technique used as a background for my page. The glimmered butterfly outlines were just the right simple touch for my page. Now it is your turn! Try that Technique!

The Stampbooking CD is $17.95 and contains 75 tutorials in pdf format. Order yours today!

Stampbooking Blog Hop!

It's Jane Bosi's birthday, and to celebrate, we are having a blog hop! Happy Birthday, Jane! Our hop is all about the techniques on the New Stampbooking CD - Jane was the co-creator of the CD. If you came here from Holly Brown's blog, you are on the right track; if not, I suggest you start at the TJ Design Team's Blog to view the whole hop.

So today, I actually have TWO pages to share -- I could not pick just one, and virtually every page I have scrapbooked the past three months have used the Stampbooking Techniques. The first page, above, uses the  Ribbon Titles Technique. I chose this quick and easy page to show the the techniques can enhance the simplest of pages! Stamps: Close to My Heart, Hampton Arts.

My second page, below, uses the Foiled Embellishments technique:

Again, a great example of how to enhance your pictures using your stamps! Stamps: Stampin' Up!, Close To My Heart, PSX.

You now have one more blog to visit -- the birthday girl's blog! Make sure to leave a comment on Jane's blog to be eligible to win the Stampbooking CD.  If you want to go ahead and purchase one HERE, and then you win the hop, I will refund your money!

Okay now, off you go to JANE'S BLOG...

The CDs are here, June's issue and Blogger's Challenge!

What to talk about first? I don't know which I more excited about! I went out for a few hours this afternoon, and the CD fairy delivered the first shipment of the Stampbooking CDs! I will work on stuffing the mailers, labeling, and applying postage this evening so that they are all winging their way to the folks who pre-ordered their copies. If you have not yet, you do order the Stampbooking: The Art of Using Rubber Stamps in your Scrapbooks HERE.

The June issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter was mailed yesterday, too, and the link to the issue is live. If you are a subscriber, you can access the online pages right now! Email me if you subscribe and need the password, or if you would LIKE to subscribe, do so HERE.

Finally, today is Blogger's Challenge Friday -- and it is about shimmer. My submission uses Glitter for my shimmer, and it is from a new technique from the June 2011 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter called Glitter Roll. In addition, the LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH words are from an embossing folder that uses the Cuttlebug Highlights Technique  (From the Technique Junkie Newsletter Emboss or Die CD). You can, of course, play along with us on the BC Shimmer Challenge by adding your artwork to the hop list. And make sure you look at what the other ladies are doing, too!

I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
