Bookshelves - Club Scrap Blog Hop

Welcome to the hop! Today is the monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop, and we are celebrating the Bookshelves March 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 have to say, this kit is pretty cool. It has elements for books, but it also has map elements. And since I am currently working on pictures from our Vienna trip a few years ago, this paper couldn't have come at a better time!

I decided to make this simple layout with the paper and embellishments from the kit (click on the layout to see details, if desired):
After I made that layout, I did this one:
I had to borrow a piece of navy paper from an earlier kit, but I the colors worked great with my layout! don't you just love that ribbon?

Okay, it's time for you to move on with the hop. Your next stop is Julie Heyer:(http://capecodscrapper.blogspot.com/)  -- I know you will love what she made!

I hope this hop inspires you. Have a great day!

Bandanna Blast from the past

I have always loved this technique -- it is so dang colorful! The Bandanna Technique  was originally in the August 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter - now you can find it on the Simple and Easy Inking Techniques Remix CD (30 tutorials, $9.95). 

Tomorrow I will be announcing something new! I can't wait!
Have a colorful day...

Special Announcement (and a card, too)

If you are a subscriber, you may have noticed a change to the Subscriber-only pages in the last three days -- all the tutorials for the February issues are now in PDF format. Over the years my website host has become cranky and glitchy, and it was difficult to print some of the tutorials. Now you can print them easier than ever! All of the 2013 issues will be in PDF format, and I will be going back and changing the older PDFs as time permits, to help those of you who have purchased the online-only option access the tutorials easier.  I hope you like this change!

The card below uses the Block Fill Tutorial from the February 2013 issue. If you have not visited the online site in the last few days, go test drive the new change -- and let me know what you think of the change!
All stamps on this card are from Marks Finest Papers.

Layered Color Collage - Simple and Easy

This card was made using the Layered Color Collage -- one of the techniques from the new Simple and Easy Inking Techniques - Remix CD. the tutorial is one of the 30 on the CD for $9.95 (plus shipping). The CD shows you how to create stunning artwork using a minimum of supplies -- and as the name suggests, they are all easy techniques! It is a great CD to have in your arsenal when looking to create the wow factor quickly.

The card uses all Stampin' Up! stamps, inks and paper -- I love the color combo. It is so different and unique! It pops at ya' doesn't it?

Thanks for stopping by today!
