Thank you… now on to our hop!

You're in the loop if you've arrived from Janet's Blog.

For this Hop, I've created a quick and simple single page of my girlfriends and me!



My journalling says: friendships that feed my soul...these ladies
fill my heart with love and gratitude.



I've added some of our mink twine and misc. gems and bling from my stash...love our ZipStrips!



You'll notice that I kinda messed up the journalling (doesn't look 'perfect')...but I'm over making everything perfect...life's too short for perfect my friends!



Pull out your paper piercer...it's so much fun and a super fast way to add texture and visual interest too :)

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is

The colours in this paper collection work well with so many events but in the end, I found this photo of my girl and I when we went to New Orleans for her 21st Birthday last year! 



I stamped the ink blots using the 'Bunches Of Love' Stamp set in Charcoal Ink but then I wanted more splatters so I grabbed the Black Shimmer Brush and gave it a tap to splatter it onto my page...I did that by accident a week ago and discovered it works quite well that way!


I've clustered some heavy sewing machine thread under the chipboard roses...and frayed the Mink Twine on the tags.


I created the tags using our new and FABULOUS 'Fancy Tags' Thin Cuts (LOVE LOVE LOVE them) on the PML cards in the paper pack. 

I could've just hand journaled but then I found our Alpha Stickers from the Story By Stacy Workshop kit...and then I was done!

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to get creative using some of the designs, products and techniques seen along the way.

I made some Cricut cuts from our Artiste & Artistry CTMH cartridges for the clouds.

I also used up some gems from my stash...


Our stamp set Happy Heart is one of my favourites and the expression 'You Make My Heart Happy' is perfect for almost anything :)


I've simply cut (2) 4" lengths of 1" cardstock from our Rainbow Bundle CC61810 in each colour...seeing as our awesome cardstock is two-toned (lighter shade of the true colour on the opposite side)it made graduating the colours super easy!!!

D1813 Be a Rainbow stamp set
Artistie Cricut Bundle
Artistry Cricut Bundle


Hope you give this super easy technique a try yourself!
