CTMH-- January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop + Inspirations Special

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for January 2011 & Happy New Year!!


All artwork on the hop will feature January's Find Your Style, a set of 9 stamps! If you have come here from Adeline's Blog you are on the right path.



This month we have  about 60 CTMH Consultants sharing their SOTM creations, and other great CTMH artwork. Hopping along is fun and simple to do - just click the link at the end of each blogger's post to move to the next one!  Be sure to leave some love (comments) along the way :)

This month, I have created a layout to showcase some photo booth pictures from the 2010 CTMH Convention.  I used all new products from the January's INSPIRATIONS  special.  First, I chose the Wings paper pack because the theme of Convention "Picture This" also featured butterflys.  I created my own glimmer mist using Black Reinker, Create a Shade Pearl Paint, water & the new Spray Pen.  I sprayed my entire background paper.  I also sprayed the background for all my stamped images.  I used the butterfly and the sentiment from the Stamp of the Month.  I also used a special convention stamp set for the title "Picture this"





A close up of the top corner of my page, so you can see the detail of the glimmer mist!  This is a super cool technique and I'm so excited to finally be able to make my own glimmer mist.  I can make it in any color I want using CTMH's reinkers and the create a shade pearl paint.  I see a LOT of glimmer misting in my future!


Supplies:
Find Your Style
Picture This
Black reinker
Create a shade pearl paint
Spray Pen
Archival Black Ink
Vineyard Berry ink

You can see the entire January's INSPIRATIONS Flyer HERE.

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
