What A Hoot - Two Weeks Left!

Today I wanted to share a sweet little card I created using the August Stamp of the Month-What A Hoot! This 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card features the new Pathfinding Paper Pack, Triangle Border Punch, Gold Shimmer Trim, Gold Sequins and Neutral Metallic Bakers Twine.

The cute little owl is stamped and paper pieced together.  I popped his wings up with 3D Foam Tape to add dimension.  I love using the new Border Punches and adding Shimmer Trim behind the punched area to add interest.  I also gave him some googly eyes.  I used the Barely Beige ShinHan Touch Twin Marker to color in the word HOOT.

Just a reminder that there's only two weeks left to get this stamp set for $5 (with a $50 purchase). That's right, this set is only available during the month of August, so act fast and place your order before this cute little owl flies away and is gone for good!   You can place your order on my website HERE.

EEK! Annual Inspirations New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to the CTMH Blog Boosters New Product Blog Hop!  Here you will find tons of inspiration to create fun projects using new products from the 2014-2015 Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  

Fall is one of my favorite seasons.  I especially love Halloween!  This layout came together rather quickly and I love how it turned out.  

I sponged the edges of the papers and cardstock with Black Ink.  The Complements are also sponged with Black Ink, clustered and popped up with 3D Foam Tape to add dimension.

The new border punches are a great way to add interest to your artwork.  I used the Triangle Border Punch on the Pear cardstock strips.

The following products were used to create this layout;

• X7185B-Scaredy Cat Level 2 Paper Pack
• X7185C-Scaredy Cat Complements
• Z1988-Black Striped Twill Ribbon
• Z1997-Triangle Border Punch
• Z2105-Black Ink Pad
• Z697-Round Sponge
• Z1151-3D Foam Tape

A Graduation Gift

Now that Graduation has come and gone I can share this cute little album I made for my niece. She lives in North Carolina and since we couldn't attend the festivities, I wanted to create something special for her to record all of her Senior Year Memories.

This album came together rather quickly.  I went with her school colors, Black & Gold for the color scheme.  I used the Hip Pics Album, For Always papers (retired), Jubilee papers, Honey, Black, White & Whisper CS, Black & Whisper Inks, Black Shimmer Trim, Black Sparkles, Honey Washi Tape, My Crush Best Day Ever Assortment, School Years & All The Details Stamp Sets.

I added a few photos, but left the other pages blank so she could add her favorite pics of her friends, school events & activities.  It was super-simple to make and she really loved it!
