Everything ABC Blog Hop- B is for Baby Boy
Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter B. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their B element will be featured in their post.
If you came from Kelly ~ Paper Petal Memories then you're on the right track!
B is for BABY BOY
Today I want to show off my Baby Boy Mini Album that I create with Avonlea & Scholastic papers! If you missed my BABY GIRL album, you can see it HERE.
This Baby Boy mini album was based loosely on a mini album given to consultants at Convention to create. I used the papers they gave us, some of the instructions, but then went off on my own.
To create this album, I used the Dimensional Elements Album pages that coordinates with Cricut Artiste. I cut the papers to fit the album pages perfectly, adhered with Bonding Memories Glue and sponged the edges in Slate ink. All elements were cut using Artiste. The album is bound with Slate Satin Polka Dot Ribbon.
Avonlea Canvas Compliments
Slate Polka Dot Ribbon
Mocha Opaques
Clear Sparkles
Slate Ink
Silver Shimmer Trim

CTMH--- SNEAK PEEK at 2013 Spring Summer Product!
One of the biggest perks of being a Close To My Heart Consultant is that we get to order NEW PRODUCT one month before customers! A bonus for you is that my order came in this week and I had a chance to create with some of it :) :)
I created two cards for my card class during the week using new product. The ladies were super excited to see it and be able to create with it too!
CHANTILLY Birthday Card
This paper pack is featured on the cover of the Spring Summer Idea Book AND is what you get in the 2013 Consultant Kit! SO PRETTY!!
My card today uses not only the Chantilly papers, but the NEW Chantilly TEXTILES too! That's right, CTMH is introducing FABRIC! The Chantilly Textiles have 3 patterns (Buttercup polka-dot, Pear damask and Blush small floral) at 14"'x24". For only $8.95, I see myself using a whole lot of this fabric!
I also used a new Birthday set- Perfect Fit Birthday. It coordinates with our Perfect Fit Frame stamp sets (there's a new one of those too!!!)
Finally- a new technique I learned--- COLORING ON SILVER TRIM! YES! Using the Alcohol markers, you can color the Silver Trim to be whatever color you like :) AWESOME!
FOR ALWAYS Anniversary Card
BE STILL MY HEART! Black and white and damask????? OH MY! This paper pack is to die for! It comes with cardstock in Ruby, Honey and Lagoon- awesome color pops! WAIT- it gets better----- For Always has TEXTILES TOO!!!! Black Damask, White with black polka-dots & Black with white script. 3 gorgeous patterns at 14"x24" for $8.95. Those are going to be SO FUN to work with too!
My card uses For Always- but I added a pop of Smoky Plum. I used the all new The Happy Couple stamp set for my sentiment. The Slate Satin ribbon, tied with our new Black Buttons worked perfect with this card.
Incidently- Lavender and Silver were my wedding colors.... I'll be saving this card for MY anniversary :)

CTMH -- Card Workshop
I had my first cardmaking class of 2013 this week! It was a blast! So nice to get back to creating and even better to see all my crafty friends :)
There were 12 cards to choose from and the ladies each made at least 8. Success I would say!
Thank You Cards:
Left: Triple Time Stamping! The ladies loved learning this new technique! I will have to do it again soon! Used Ruby & White Daisy cardstock, January SOTM: Happy Valentine.
Right: Art Philosophy card! Used Clementine papers, Remarkable wreath stamps.
Valentines Day Cards:
Top Left: Featuring WHOO'S YOUR VALENTINE stamps :) Used up some OLD Topstitch papers.
Top Right: Puzzle Pieced Heart using La Belle Vie
Bottom Left: I Love You- used Roxie papers and an old SOTM- Mad About You
Bottom Right: Love U with all my Heart- my January SOTM card :)
BABY cards:
How cute are these??? I modeled them after THESE on pinterest, using an old set- Nursery Bash. The girl card uses Lucy and Dotty For You papers, while the Boy card uses just Dotty for You. We colored using our new Alcohol markers- they are OH SO SMOOTH to color with!
Birthday Cards:
Left: I went for a monotone look with the Dotty for You papers, and added a contrasting flower stamped with Hooray Bouquet!
Top: The retiring and sold out Stella papers made an appearance here, along with Perfect Fit Frames and a birthday set.
Bottom: This card was also seen on Pinterest, using Cruisin papers, Pennant Alphabet and Card Chatter birthday.
Check back tomorrow for 2 more cards and a SNEAK PEAK at NEW 2013 Spring Summer product!!!

Everything ABC Blog Hop-- A for Avonlea

From the moment I saw this paper pack at Convention in July, I was in love. Its so beautiful. The teals, greens, greys and browns work so well together. I have hoarded this paper and this is only my second layout with it.

Products used: Avonlea Workshop on the Go Kit,
Avonlea Canvas Compliments,
Dark Chocolate Striped Grosgrain Ribbon,

I think my scraplift was pretty good :)
