September Stamp of the Month- Family is Forever

Welcome to the September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for Family is Forever

If you have come here from Judy's Blog, you're on the right path.  This month we have 80 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit.

This stamp set is beautiful!  Lately I have seen this fun and easy marker technique, so I decided to give it a try with the September Stamp of the Month.  

 Using the ShinHan Twin Touch Markers: Leaf Green, Turquoise Blue, Vivid Green and Cerulean Blue Light, I colored diagonal streaks across the middle of my card.  Then I used Archival Black Ink to Stamp Family is Forever.  I stamped the little hearts in Lagoon ink and added some Blue and Green Sparkles to the bottom.  I used the Die Cut Card, so I added a piece of the Lagoon Paper Fundamentals to the inside of the card.  

The September Stamp of the Month is available from September 1-30.  It is only $5 with a $50 purchase on my website!

The next blogger in our hop is Lucy I know you will see amazing artwork from her and ALL the other consultants on this hop.  

Happy Hopping!!!

Inspired by Food

This week's challenge over at Heart2Heart Challenges is Inspired by Food.  

A couple weeks ago we went fruit picking at a local u-pick farm.  The fruits were delicious, the scenery was amazing and the company was fabulous.  

I decided to scrapbook this adventure with Studio J.  

I used the Flirty Kit for this layout.

You've heard me rave before about Studio J, and this is no exception!  I took tons of pictures and was able to incorporate lots of them in this layout without having to print any of them, or crop any of them.  I just uploaded and dragged them into the slots.  EASY PEASY!

I hope you'll play along with us a Heart2Heart this week!

What a Hoot- Chalk It Up

What a HOOT!  

It's true, the August Stamp of the Month- What a Hoot- is amazing!  This has been the #1 selling stamp set this month :)  Don't let this one pass you by.

This is one of the cards we made at my last class.  I used the Chalk It Up Star paper, lagoon cardstock, stamped with In The Background.  I stamped my owl friend on white cardstock, then colored him in with our old alcohol markers.  The hat was stamped on a scratch piece of white cardstock and the wings on another of the patterned paper from Chalk It Up.   You can't tell in the picture, but I used foam tape to raise the hat and the wings :)  I added sparkles to my owl and black shimmer trim down the center finishes this card off.  

What do you think???  Is this a birthday card???

Chalk It Up Thank You

Continuing on with my Chalk It Up Theme this month, I have another card to share with you.

Today's card design was based on THIS one that I shared a couple weeks ago.

For the sentiment, I took a bracket shape that comes with the Happy Birthday Cut Above Kit, and stamped Thanks So Much from You Mean The World To Me Stamp Set.
I cut some Teal Glitter Paper, then used the new Chevron Border Punch on it.  I also ran a strip of white card stock through the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.
