Blog Hop

Here it is again, BLOG HOP time.





The season premier's have been killing my mojo and, I must confess, I have not been in a HOLIDAY/CHRISTMAS mood lately- the weather here is un-seasonably warm and it has left me uninspired to do much Christmas stuff.

These projects were from last year. the first photo is little cards for co-workers, the second it a case from Nicole- they hold little photos from the previous year- I gave these to grandparents and they were a HIT!!

Thanks for peeking!

CPS 83- for a baby girl

This is post 1 as I could not get all the photos into 1 post.........





I made this mini book last month and absolutely love the end result. This book has photos from our vacation in August.

I have several mini books done without photos but this is my first one that I actually totally finished!!!

The book itself is Maya Road, papers are October Afternoon- I added a bunch of extras too many to list... have a peek

2 sketches- s is for Spooky

This is my first time with 2 sketches, I have been a long time lurker but for whatever reason never actually done one.

You can see the original here. I did modify it slightly- I thought the S needed to be over a bit.

Papers: Pebbles Inc., Jenni Bowlin Alpha

Cardstock: Bazzill

Stamps: Papertrey Spooky Sweets

Misc: Brads: Making Memories, Twine- ??, Ink: Ranger, Nestabilities

LSC#7 Spooky and some newcomers

It is that time again, time for a Loonie Stampers Challenge!!!

This week was Dee's pick, use a Halloween stamp and Black, Plum and Summer Sunrise!! She added to use vellum if we felt like it too.

We have added a couple people to our roster who will be helping us do the challenges weekly starting in October. Maria and Wendy- so excited to have them!!!! Wendy is Canadian but Maria is not...we won't hold that against her......much..LMAO, just kidding!!

For my card I used my cuttlebug embossing folder and inked it up. I also used a spider on the base in the same plum colour but you cant really see it. The trees were cut out with a Quikutz die from PTI vellum cardstock and inked.

Don't forget to link up your creations- we all love to see them!!!

CPS # 82 A little Scenic Route???

I had a bit of scraps left over from a class I took at 2 Friends several months ago- and i have a bad habit of not using scraps- I just pitch them...gasp i know but seriously..........do I really need to keep them all???

My new rule is not to keep them unless they are at least 3".

This is my take on CPS# 82- I just flipped it 180 degrees.

Paper and stamps are Scenic Route, Cardstock is Bazzill, ink is Stampin Up. Punch is Martha Stewart.

This is probably one of my favorite layouts, I think its the colour combo- I usually gravitate to pink with Lola but I changed it up a bit this time.

It time for another LSC- this week was my pick!!

For my card I used the Chocolate Remix papers- I love this paper!!!

I used by Cuttlebug to diecut the flowers. I accented with Martha Stewart Opaque pens- which ROCK I have got to tell you!!!! The Stamps are from Beautiful Blooms and Simple Little Things. Buttons and brads are SEI.
