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 !

Got Candy?

Hello and Welcome to our Close To My Heart  Got Candy? Blog Hop. 

We have 9 Consultants participating in today's hop and you should have arrived from Kathy's Blog, if you get lost along the way be sure to see the full list of Hoppers on Melinda's Blog! Enjoy the Hop!

Lucky for me I'm not up to date in my scrapbooking!?!! Right? All three of my kids are in their twenties so I don't have any cute/current photos to play with but once we've finished our home reno and have unpacked BOXES...I'll be able to find my older pics of the kids Trick or Treating and fill these layouts :)

This is what I created:

My goal was to try to keep these CAS with a little fun accenting and staying with the paper and sticker sheet pack is the way to go to achieve a CAS (clean and simple) look.

Digging into my stash to get a small strip of vellum softened up the striped PP enough to create a title area that stood out.

I really love the candy paper in the layout below and sometimes find working with a strong PP can be challenging when adding embellishments so I wanted to create a cluster to anchor the title and then just simply use the Mummy sticker and candy stickers to finish it off.

For myself, the Product Bundle is always the way to go...and the biggest savings too! I didn't use the stamp or sequins on these two projects, but come back in a few more days to see our New Product Blog hop as I've got a super cute layout featuring SO MANY new products and the stamp and sequins too!

Hopefully some of the artwork you've seen so far has got you in the mood for some Spooky Fun and creating! Now it's time to head on over to Cat's Blog!
