December Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- Cutie Pie

Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for Cutie Pie

If you have come here from Maureen's Blog you're on the right path.  This month we have 60 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit.  If you get lost along the way, check here:  http://ifyoublingit.blogspot.com/p/stamp-of-month-blog-hop-list.html

This stamp set is so adorable!  Who doesn't love cupcakes :)  

Today I have created two cards to share with you :)

I started by random stamping 2 of the cupcake images in Flaxen ink on White Daisy cardstock.  I then used this to create my cards.  

I used the all NEW Hopscotch Paper Pack, Gold Sequins, Sparkles, Teal Shimmer Trim and Perfect Fit- Birthday stamps.  

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

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

Happy Hopping!!!

Studio J- Celebrating CTMH

What better way to scrapbook the photos from  my CTMH team's Celebration with corporate CFO that with Studio J!

Back in April, we found out that my team had earned our very own PaRtY with a visit from a corporate executive in September.  We were soooooo excited!  Though many could not make the trip to Fresno to be with us, those of us there had a blast!  

Take a look at my Studio J layout of the memories!  

I love that I can coordinate the colors in Studio J with the colors from the All Star Party.  

Be sure to get your Studio J layouts completed by November 30th for the Lucky 5 Promotion and $5 layouts :)

Heart 2 Heart Challenges- No Rules

To conclude the November "No" challenges, Heart2Heart is doing No Rules this week.  So that means anything goes!

I want to show you the fabulous Base & Bling jewelry that has been flying off the shelves!  I have been making these beautiful creations left and right, at craft boutiques as well as for custom orders!  

There are many options available with Base & Bling.  There are square, circle, rectangle and oval pendants both in silver and antique gold.  There are many sticker images you can choose from.  Additionally, I have printed my own custom images (Santa's seen above).  

For $15, one of these sets could be yours.  Contact me to create your necklace- roxybonds@gmail.com

To purchase the supplies to create your own, visit my website.

Stop by Heart2Heart Challenges to take part in the No Rules challenge.  

Happy Birthday to my Boy!

Yesterday my son turned 9 years old... where does the time go??  

Here's the card I made for him for his Birthday :)

I cut this card at 5" from Artfully Sent, in black cardstock, then backed the rocket withWhisper and Canary cardstock.  I backed the words with White and Canary cardstock.  

Isn't my Tyler the most handsome?!?!  

Studio J- Holiday Photo Cards

Yes, you heard that right... you can create your own amazing Photo Cards in CTMH's Digital Online Program- STUDIO J!!!!!

Last year, fellow Director, Brae, shared hers with me.  She has a tutorial on her blog of how she created these.  I instantly fell in love!  The Sparkle & Shine collection is beautiful and looks perfect as photo cards!  Don't you think??

(These are my cards from last year)

Think about this.... if you are going to buy custom made photo cards--- I'm talking GOOD QUALITY PRINTED PHOTO CARDS--- what would you pay???  $1.50-$2.00 per card??? 

Here I have 8 photo cards that are 4x8.  They will fit into a standard letter envelope, with regular postage. THIS MONTH Price:  $5 ((After tax & shipping, cost is LESS THAN $1 per card))

Ready to create your own???  Head on over to Studio J and get started today!  
Want some help???  I'm happy to create for you :)  email me at roxybonds@gmail.com to place your order! 


There are so many different things you can do with these cards!  Brae used black and white photos.  She is also printing two 4x4 photos in the top right corner of the layouts.  Awesome way to maximize that space :)  

Here, fellow Director Michele created 5x7 cards using the Jingle collection.  Again- 8 cards for $5!  

Heart2Heart- No Ink Challenge

This week's challenge at Heart2Heart is NO INK!

How can I craft without ink???  Well, I could do a Cricut project.... better yet, I could just scrapbook in Studio J!

With this month's Lucky 5 promotion, I've been busy creating Studio J layouts :)  This is one I created of our Halloween pictures this year.  That's the awesome thing about Studio J- you can scrapbook the photos as soon as you take them :)  

Studio J layouts are only $5 this month---- whaaaaaat!  I know, a crazy great deal!  CLICK HERE to get started!


Be sure to take a look at what my Heart 2 Heart Design Team friends have created with NO INK this week!

Artfully Sent Blog Hop- Sympathy

Welcome to the CTMH Artfully Sent Blog Hop 

If you have come here from Dana's Blog you're on the right path.  This month we have over 45 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit.  I know you'll see some fabulous cards (and more) created with CTMH's Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge.

Today I want to share with you a sympathy card that I quickly created to send to a friend who lost a dear loved one a couple weeks ago.  

I cut the card with a piece of patterned paper from Seaside.  I backed the words with White cardstock and the flower with Smoothie cardstock.  I added some Aqua Dots to embellish.  

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

Happy Hopping!!! 

Frame It- Chalk It Up School Photo Part 2

What do you do with your kids' school photos??  Do you put them in a picture frame on the wall and swap them out each year?  Do you scrapbook them?  

HOW ABOUT DOING BOTH!!!!!

This is my son's Spring School Photo from Kindergarten.  I wanted this photo/layout to be "frameable"

I used the Chalk It Up Paper pack, Chalk It Up compliments, Chalk It Up Assortment, Framework Alphabet, Teal Glitter Paper, Silver Shimmer Trim,  and a Journaling Pen.  

Then I framed this layout in the Black Design Decor Frame and Allison's (see it HERE) in the Colonial White Design Decor Frame.  They are hung on the wall, on the way to the scrapbook room :)
