Only 6 days left for Jubilee Pages!

Oh my goodness, time flies when you're having fun! Here's the 6 pages my Monthly Memories gals are doing with these happy Jubilee papers. I can't believe in 6 more days it's all retired and g.o.n.e. I put the "Bring List" for the workshop at the bottom of this post - if you want to make these you still have a wee bit o' time to order your kit!

Each month we make 6 pages using a specific paper packet from the CTMH Idea Book. 

There's a Basic kit to be had for about $15, and an I Want It All kit of $25+ with more embellies. Occasionally the I Want It All kit requires you to add in a piece or two of neutral cardstock. I like layers...what can I say!

I work up lovely full color instructions complete with cutting guides and lots of pictures to help you finish your pages at home. I am mailing the pre-stamped "Hello" title out to each scrapper this month.

Of course, stamplifting is always welcome, but if you want my complete instructions for these pages for a faster, simpler, and easier go of it, just pop out to my order website and Join the Monthly Memories Club Gathering to order your preferred supply kit. There's no monthly commitment and the instructions will come via email (and if you are a consultant friend, please check out the new Monthly Memories details on my Consultant Kits page!).

Atlantic Hearts Sketch 65

I've been a little off the radar this month, which is nutty because I've got a ton of stuff to share with y'all! I thought I'd get some posting done this weekend when we were hanging at the KOA with the boys. They go to sleep by 8 p.m., so every evening at the KOA is very, very long hanging out by the ten with the sleeping boys...more so when the WIFI gives out the first night and ruins all your gotta-catch-up-on-my-blog plans. I have to admit, hanging by the river quietly was kind of nice too!

I'm so far off topic now...I'm super excited to share with you that I'm joining the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Design Team. My sweet Canadian friend Candra from Paper Dragon Fleur is already a member of this fabulously talented group of ladies, and she wrangled me an invite to play!

I'm jumping in with Sketch #65, and as soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted to do. I used two of the new CTMH embossing folders (which won't be released until August 1st, but I won mine at Convention - squee!). The CTMH folders make nice deep impressions (and are 5x7 instead of A2), so I embossed with both the new floral background and the honeycomb. I trimmed out the honeycomb in place of the oval from the sketch. Then I layered all my yummy inked and sanded embossed layers with a bit of Timberline woodgrain B&T (retiring at the ed of this month - sob!). All the cardstock here is either Whisper or Slate, so nice and basic. The stamps I used are from an adorable set called Have a Happy Day, which we got at Convention!

I cut some simple 6 petal flowers out of Colonial White CS using the Artiste cartridge. I broke down the fibers in the paper flowers using a stylus and foam mat (from the piercing tool kit). Each flower was spritzed with some Color Shine and inked around the edges with the new Thistle color (coming in August!). I topped them with either basic Sparkles or globs of Silver glitter gel topped with micro beads for the teensy tiny ones. A bit of Liquid Glass to pop them onto the card base and I was done! 

Here's the original sketch. Pop on over to Atlantic Hearts to check out more fun ideas for this sketch and to play along!

Star Spangled Pin Wreath

Happy Independence Day, Stamping Friends! Having moved to an area with actual seasons, we've recently discovered the joys of having a storm door...like the fact that you can't really hang a wreath off a storm door very successfully. Luckily there was a hook hanging to the side of our door, all ready for projects just like this one!

I built another Clothespin wreath! These are my favorite quick home decor projects lately. This time I painted the pins with metallic acrylic paints, and then smoothed on a layer of transparent glitter gel over each painted pin. It really catches the light and sparkles! I staggered the placement of the pins on the wreath form and held them in place with copious amounts of hot glue. 

I added some Star Chipboard from my stash painted with silver acrylic paint, then coated with Liquid Glass and sprinkled liberally with glitter. I did the glitter in two layers. First I added as much of this huge chunky silver hex glitter I scored from the kids craft section at my local craft store. Then I sprinkled the still wet stars with super fine micro glitter to fill in any spaces. Finally I added a bunch of teensy star shaped nail gems for extra sparkle. 

We are lucky enough to be spending today with family from California. Here's wishing y'all a happy fourth, with lots of love, gratitude, and BBQ goodness! 

Consultant Kits Update

Good morning! I've been busily updating my Consultant Kits page to reflect the newest Stamping Rules kits available (and some new pricing!). I'm super excited about the new Brite White Card workshop (customer details will be posted this week) and that sweet Ariana Frame workshop. I can't believe that beautiful paper is going to be retired this month!  Thanks for taking a peek, Consultant Friends, and I'll be getting the Creative Club page updated in the next day or so, Stampin' Friends!
