Random Stamping Class

I have been inspired lately on the CTMH Consultant Bulletin Boards with Random Stamping, so I booked a class for June 9th and we will be playing with random stamping. Some scrapbookers are afraid of stamping in this is a great way to get over that fear and create something completely unique and fits your color schemes. This post I will show you the random stamped pages for my class and in a following post I will show you what I made with each random stamped sheet!

Using this My Acrylix Stamp Set - Aspiration - C1340 and using CTMH Exclusive ink colors: Bamboo, Juniper, Hollyhock and Blush, stamped on White Daisy Cardstock.

I have a feeling that this page will end up in Thank You cards as we are expecting a little one in August and I may as well get a jump on Thank You notes.

This My Acrylix Stamp set is Flourished Blessings - D1379. I wanted to use some darker colors so we used CTMH Exclusive Inks: Cocoa, Juniper & Garden Green stamped on Vanilla Cream Cardstock. I also used another stamp technique on this page, Second Generation Stamping, you will see lighter shades of leaves in the background and instead of choosing another color I thought this would fill up the page nicely.

A great print for fall or any outdoor layout...I am not sure yet what this will turn into but I am very happy with the outcome.

The final stamp set is Discontinued but one of my favorites, My Acrylix - Adorable -D1183. This stamp has been used over and over again, I always find uses for it. I paired the stamp with Exclusive Inks: Barn Red, Sorbet, Chocolate & Creme Brulee stamped on Colonial White Cardstock for an unusual color combo.

This page looks kinda western to me so we will see where it will end up. As for my class I hope to post thier random stamped pages and I hope they are as happy with them as I was with mine.

Welcoming Spring

The weather here is finally nice and I love to bask in the great tempurature. Besides scrapbooking and papercrafting I also make wreaths. You will never see me without one on my door and I think that last spring was the first time that I displayed a wreath that I did not make, it was a glitter egg wreath, for Easter, but when the hail hit, the next day it looked like all the little chicks had jumped out of thier fancy eggs and ran away. So this year I saw an example of the wreath that I liked in the Southern Living at Home catalogue and decided to reproduce it. Finally the stems I liked went on SALE and I picked them up and made the wreath today. It took me about an hour but I love the final result and I think I over wired those Hydreangea blooms in place! I look forward to having this displayed for the rest of the Spring and now my mind is rolling with ideas for a Tropical Summer Wreath. If you would like easy instructions on how I made this, comment or email me!

Summer Idea Book Kick Off

So here I am writing about my Summer Idea Book Kick Off Party before it has even started, I guess I am hoping for big things. This cute monocromatic tag is the Make n Take for the day, 90% Close to my Heart products*. I choose Tulip as my Exclusive color for this tag and used Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels* and a Dimensional Elements Border (chipboard) as a mask which gives us the cool swirl in the background. Using Tulip Ink, I stamped the May Stamp of the Month and cut out the Thank You, then adhered it to the tag with 3D foam tape. I also added the Just Blooms Paper Flower and Butterfly in Tulip. Threaded White Daisy Organdy Ribbon thru the hole and tied with Tulip Embroidery Floss. To finish it off I used our Clear Sparkles and made it shine. This whole project takes 10 minutes to make and shows like you spent hours slaving over it! I hope you try this Close to my Heart project and send it to someone you are thankful for!

I'm Going to Disneyland!

This is my first time going to Disneyland, and with the price of plane tickets to Denver, it was cheaper for the inlaws and my family to fly to Disneyland together. So that is where we are off to on Thursday this week. Asking around, I got some great advice to get/make an Autograph Book. So to make it an Mother/Daughter affair, we decided to make it together. Seeing a how my daughter is only 4 years old, I thought she did a really great job putting together the book. She painted both front and back chipboard covers, glued the paper and put all the fancy stickers down. With a little help from me, I think that we got a great book with space for an autograph and on the opposite page of the autograph is a place for a picture with that charater. I used a 7 Gypsy's Spiral notebook, paper and sticker were all from Michael's, the fancy satin princess stickers were on clearance the day I went so they were a good deal. I figure we can fill in the missing pages with stickers I find at Disneyland and of course you never know who you are going to see! With space left at the back of the book for extra anything, I think this is a book that she will cherish for years to come. I hope to post pictures of our trip soon so check back for great ideas.
