Ctmh spotlight blog hop - scraps

Welcome to this month spotlight hop. We will be using something we all have, scraps. I think i have more scraps then full paper. You should be coming from Tracy O.. Next in the hop is Laurie Flannery
I challenged myself to not only use scraps, but to also use nothing new. I did pretty well, tho i did use new bakers twine on one of them. I couldn't help it. It just fit.

this card uses sweetheart paper and pair-a-phrase stamp. The heart rhinestone is just a random thing I had. See, I'm even using up my random things. lol

Remember when we had the Level 1 paper packs, if you don't, the picture below is one.

Cherry-O is the paper I got when I signed up, and i still have some of the level 1 papers. So i used it to make the base for my card. I even used the my stickese that came with it. Here is the bakers twine tho. But look, its perfect. Also used some red glitz that I'm not sure if I ever used. OOPs (looks guilty)

A baby card using a bunch of pink scraps. Some is sophia, some is Cherry-O, i think thats it. The stamp that i used is new, Jan sotm, but i didn't have any other baby stamps, cept for the brand new new one from the new idea book.

Very old paper, I got this one last year. Again i mixed and matched papers from my scrap pile, so i can't name them all. That is something i love about our paper, you can mix and match any paper packet, the colors will always match. The circles are from Elemental compliments, its old to me. I'm working on new items from the brand new idea book. WOOOHOOO. I will show you sneak peeks soone, but that is all you get until i have my party. I don't want my customers getting too ahead of themselves.

A couple days ago I posted a card that also uses scraps and the mojo monday sketch. Check it outHereNext in the hop is Laurie Flannery

MOJO MONDAY 223

This is a sneak peek for the bloghop that is going on Jan 15th. The bloghop is to use scraps. And boy do I have scraps.

This one uses scraps and the mojo Monday sketch. I did move the ribbon down from the sketch, but other then that it is true to the sketch

I forgot to put this part in... I also did the card for H2H challenge. You are supposevto use a stamp you never inked. Tech. I have inked every stamp i own. I have a stamp index so i know what images i have. But i have not used this image on a project.

Sotm blog hop 2012

Welcome to a new month and new year and a new sotm blog hop.

You should be coming from Heather's blog. Next on the list is Judy's blog

I made this card during christmas, so that it why its christmas themed. But, hey, since you still have all the christmas stuff, why don't work ahead and get cards done now. This is what I am going to try to do, but doubt it will happen. I am a procrastinator. What I could get today, I will probably do in two weeks. Cause lets face it, tomarrow is just too soon. Except when it comes to putting in my new order to CTMH. Then tomarrow is not soon enough.

Next on the list is Judy's blog Enjoy.

Rock the Block part 2

I am back with more ideas from the Rock the Block special.
The first picture is a shaker box ornament. I cut the block in half so you can get two ornaments from one block. Stamped the image and placed it in the back.
Merry Christmas is stamped on the acetate with Staz-on. I added microbeads and added a frame with skinny piece of cardstock.

The second picture is a card. I stamped the large corner piece (my favorite stamp from this set) and cut it into random rectangles.

Rock the block bloghop

Welcome to this months special blog hop. Starting now till the end of Jan you get get this special Rock the Block. You should be arriving from Heather Schmuckal Next on this hop is Kristine Ponte

The first one shown was an idea since I had since I first heard about this special. These blocks are hollow so you can cut a side off and make a shadow box. A very tiny shadow box. I hope you can see in the first photo, I have Presents in the background. The tree is on the first level.

The second idea was a little photo holder. Yes, that picture in the holder is me when I was younger. I used the foundry pin clips for the photo holder. It is behind the holly leaves. I actually cut those holly leaves by hand because I was without my cricut. It's back now. Woohoo. I used the love stamp from the stamp set. This stamp set is only available during this special. The blocks will be in the new idea book coming out Feb.
I love this stamp set. I used it p. The current sotm card, so pop back one post to check it out. More artwork will being coming. I have some great ideas.
