ShinHan Touch Twin Marker Blog Hop

Hello everyone!  Today I am participating in another Blog Hop, this time featuring the ShinHan Touch Twin Markers.  We have 42 consultants participating in this hop.

If you have come here from Brenda Lapp’s Blog you are on the right path. 

I chose to share a layout that uses the Paper Fundamentals paper packs, Great Job stamp set, and ShinHan Touch Twin Markers.

I prefer to stamp my images with the Black Mini Pigment Pad and allow it to dry before coloring with the ShinHan Touch Twin Markers.  

 I colored my images with the Turquoise Blue B68 (Z2465), Leaf Green GY234 (Z2454), and Tender Pink RP198 (Z2464) markers.  Then I went over the solid areas with the Colorless Blender Marker (Z2469).  The colorless blender acts more like an “eraser” than anything.  It sort of “moves” the ink.  In my case allowing for variations in the solid areas. 

To continue on with the hop head over to Maria Myers’ Blog next.  If you would like to see more of this layout with other colors continue reading.

This layout was the make-n-take for my recent weekend retreat.  I allowed customers to choose their own colors of paper from the Paper Fundamentals assortments which comes in all 4 color assortments; Basic, Whimsy, Enchantment, and Adventure.  Here is what they came up with.

It was really neat to see how different everyone’s turned out. I have to say that I was so proud of myself for this idea.  It was a huge hit.

Thanks for stopping by.

Idea Book Celebration Recap

THANK YOU so much to everyone that came out to my Idea Book Celebration on Sunday!  It was so great to see you all and catch up with some of you that I haven’t seen in a long time. 

I had yummy refreshments out for everyone.  (Of course the drinks were in the fridge, and I forgot to tell everyone that’s where they were. So I still have lots of lemonade, good thing it’s my favorite. And the veggies were still in the fridge for this picture.)

I had tons of product laid out for everyone to see.  And of course, everyone who came got their own Idea Book to take home with them.

I offered a few specials on my inventory (surprisingly no one took me up on it).  And a cute card with the August Stamp of the Month to make and take home.

There was also the excitement of the Mystery Hostess Party, which you can still be a part of.  Place an minimum order of $25 before August 10th and you’ll be entered to win the rewards.  Right now the Party is up to $325 which will earn someone $40 in free product and 1 item at 50% off*.  But we are only $25 away from the next level in which someone will earn $60 in free product and 1 item at 50% off*.  So be sure to get your order in for your chance to win.  You can email me your order or place it directly on my website, just be sure that it gets added to the “Idea Book Celebration Mystery Hostess Party”.

And last, there were Door Prizes.  I chose to pull 2 names and the winners are:

August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop–What a Hoot

Welcome to the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

This month we have 67 Consultants featuring the August Stamp of the Month, What A Hoot, a set of 17 stamps.  Remember that this stamp set is only available during the month of August.  Place an order of $50 and get the Stamp of the Month for just $5.

If you have come here from Dawn Haight's Blog you are on the right path! If you get lost along the way you can find the complete list on Melinda’s Blog here.

 I created a simple card for my upcoming Idea Book Celebration Make-N-Take.

I used the new Scaredy Cat Paper Packet (X7185B) and the Paper Fundamentals Adventure Assortment (Z2032).

To color the eyes and hat I used our new ShinHan Touch Twin Markers (eyes - Pastel Green Z2459 and hat - Marigold Z2457).  I am really enjoying these markers.

To finish it off I embellished with the Thistle Diagonal Striped Ribbon (Z1990) and stars from the Scaredy Cat Assortment (Z3011).

Oh and I think this doesn’t have to be just a Halloween card, but I made mine for a Birthday.

Now it is time to hop over to Stefani Ewing’s Blog to see what she has created!

Thanks for stopping by.

Artbooking Made Easy–Fall themes

You’ll fall for the Cricut® Artbooking collection when you see what it can do for your autumn-themed projects. Its festive overlays, borders, shapes, and other autumn-themed pieces will give your layouts and cards just the warmth they need for this chilly season. Watch the video for great ideas on using the cartridge!

I was so inspired by this video that I created one of the 12x12 pages as the Take-N-Make for my All-Day Crop this coming Saturday, November 16 from 9am-9pm. (There is still 1 seat left if you are local to Amelia, VA and want to join us.)

I changed up some of the paper and embellishments with what I had on hand.

I added some of the Brown & Tan Glitter Paper and some sparkles in each of the buttons.

Also I printed my first picture in over 2 months and put it on a page.  That felt great – can’t wait to get caught up and actually able to put pictures on my pages again.

Thanks for stopping by.

Join us for next month's CROP

Boy did we have a good time 2 weeks ago. It was another All-Day Crop in the Studio with 7 ladies in attendance.

The create-n-take was a super cute photo holder. I got the idea for this from Rebekah Garrison (another CTMH consultant). I used the My Creations Collage Cubes and the Foundry Pin Clips as well as one of our newest paper collections called Footloose.

If you need some time to craft then be sure to join us next month on Saturday, April 14 from 9a-9pm in my Studio. Cost is just $35 and includes lunch, dinner, a project, and prizes.
