Sept/Oct NEW PRODUCT Blog Hop!!!

WELCOME TO OUR NEW PRODUCT BLOG HOP! yes that was ALL CAPS because we are all super excited with ALL the fabulous products now available for you to play with!

If you've arrived from Kathy's Blog, you are on-track...if you get lost along the way head back to Melinda's blog for the full lineup of Hoppers.

Once I dig into a paper collection I like to use it all up! This layout was fun to create because I used up my leftovers PLUS I ended up playing with so many new products!

The patterned paper base was from a retire mix-in pack. The moon was hand drawn/trimmed out and the small striped scrap and stickers were from my leftovers in the Got Candy? paper pack!

The Wisteria stamped star came from the Got Candy? stamp set along with a few of the direct stamped stars on the base page.

I added some vellum behind the photo to frame my photo without adding any colours or heaviness to the image area.

You may also see the black acrylic arrows which are some of the all new embellishment offerings we have available now for the entire year!

So is this star shaker '2 cute' or what?!!!!  You got it, this new thin cut and foam and acetate star shape is one of the new shapes available now and I'm in LOVE! 

Notice the fun Got Candy? loose sequins in that shaker star?!!

Let me also point out the ALL NEW Simple Serif Bundle, which includes the thin cuts for uppercase and lowercase PLUS the coordinating stamp sets. The '2' is cut 3x's for some more dimension and I've used our new *AVOCADO colour which I have to say is now tied with Lagoon for 1st Place in my favourite colour competition...way to go Close To My Heart!!! I wanted to keep 'cute' in White Daisy cardstock and the 'spook' is Mint cardstock and stamped with Black for some extra pop.

I LOVE the size of both of these and that I can add to them with the stamp OR leave them as thin cut alphas as well. So versatile!

I hope you're getting as excited as me to play with all the new treasures Close To My Heart has available in the new CORE and Sept/Oct Seasonal Catalogs !

Seeing the World Together

We are fortunate in this lifetime, if we have a great friend, someone that knows us, good and bad...someone who you can always talk to day or night...someone that will meet you for ice cream at 10:30 at night or share a bowl of Taco chips and salsa and not judge!

Olivia, my oldest daughter has many close friends, but none that compare to her close friendship with Madison...they are both so lucky to have this special bond and to have been able to travel so much together! I hope they always cherish the times they've spent together and that they have many more years of creating such wonderful memories with each other!

I loved this sketch as it really gave me a great backdrop for these photos and it's nice for a change to feature one large photo on your scrapbook pages :)

I'm not sure what I would do without my American Crafts Thickers or any of my numerous mini alphabet letters! They make my title far more interesting and when you use your mini-alphas, you can really almost 'journal' through your title...love these!

This week's sketch was brought to Let's Scrap from the one and only Becky Fleck of Pagemaps! Super awesome lady and one of her fantastic sketches as are all of them!

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to read along and stop by here!
