CTMH Paper Pack Blog Hop: Zoe

Welcome to this month's Heartfelt Sentiments Paper Pack Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring the brand new Zoe.  If you are coming from Melissa Robinson's blog you are on the right track!  I am so excited that our the Annual Inspirations catalog comes out on September 1.  For now, we get a little a teaser with Zoe.

This month I chose to use Studio J to showcase the paper pack.  Studio J is quick and so easy!  It can be as simple as dropping photos into pre-made layout templates to creating your own from "scratch".   The best part is it is is free to play around with and practice.

Technique Blog Hop: Simple Shadows

Welcome to this month's CTMH Technique Blog Hop!  If you are coming from Darlys's blog you are on the right track! Hope your summer is going great.  Mine is FLYING by!  

This month's technique is Simple Shadows found on page 102 of the current Annual Inspirations.  It is a very very easy technique.  All  you have to do is layer two cardstocks and offset the top one to give your project dimension.  I made a coaster using plain tiles for a small and inexpensive gift.

CTMH Techinique Blog Hop: A Bit of Blot

Welcome to May's Technique Blog Hop where we are featuring the technique on page 55 of the Annual Inspirations Idea Book/Catalog.  If you are coming from Darlys's blog you are on the right track.  

This was the first time for me to use this technique.  I found that it was very easy, but it took me a few times to figure out just how much ink and just how much spray to use.  It is a fun and different look.  I also used May's Stamp of the Month--Just Sayin'(S1505).  White Sequins and white glitter trim also made an appearance on this card (um...I love those two things.  I fully admit I am addicted).

Thanks for stopping by the blog hop today!  You can hop on over to Michelle's blog to continue on the hop.

Blossom Card Kit

This is one of favorite things in the latest Seasonal Expressions.  What is not to like about these cards?  They are so happy and summery! In your workshop you get just about everything you need to complete 15 cards!  All you have to supply is the ink and adhesive.  I can help you with that too!

Remember the contest I have going on my facebook page!  It ends tomorrow!
