Cricut You Are Here Collection Blog Hop
Welcome to the Cricut You Are Here Collection Blog Hop!
If you came from visiting Brandi Robinson, then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon my little corner of the blog world, simply start here and continue hopping until you return here -- our fun hop is one big loop for your viewing pleasure.
This hop features inspiring projects created using the newly released You Are Here Cricut Collection. I absolutely LOVE this new collection! While on the surface, it looks like a travel-themed collection (which it definitely is!), there are lots and lots of great images and titles that can be used for so much more than just travel-themed projects. Think holidays, school, sports, weddings, everyday life, etc. etc. AND as always the cartridge includes a great font. If you have not checked out this new collection, what are you waiting for?? You will LOVE it!!
In the spirit of thinking outside the box and beyond the intended theme of the collection, I chose to make a Christmas layout with the fun holiday images from pages 22 and 23 of the handbook. (To view the complete You Are Here handbook, click here.) I also used a great sketch from Splitcoast Stampers. I love these sketches because they give dimensions for each of the paper layers.

Stamp of the Month Blog Hop -- A Little Bit of Pun
Welcome to the December Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!
The month's featured stamp set is S1712 A Little Bit of Pun (pictured below). This set is only available until December 31st and is only $5 with a $50 Close to My Heart purchase.
For today's project, I combined the trendy mermaid stamp from this set with the fun papers in the Bats & Cats paper packet. I love how the Emerald color makes the mermaid tail look like Ariel's tail from The Little Mermaid. To color the tail, I used my Emerald ink pad along with my small water brush. By squeezing the top and bottom of the closed ink pad case, you can transfer ink from the actual ink pad to the inside of the lid -- giving you a perfect painting palette. If you have never tried this quick & easy watercolor technique, you really should. It's one of my favorites!
The card pattern comes from the free Basics Fundamental 64 Card Workshop Pattern CTMH shared on its blog a few weeks ago. This great workshop shows you how to cut 22 out of 24 sheets in any of the Fundamentals paper packets to create the layering pieces for 64(!) cards. The card patterns are so versatile, you can easily use them with other paper collections to create quick & simple cards like the one I have below.

*A Little Bit of Pun stamp set (December SOTM)
*Cats & Bats paper packet
*12" x 12" White Daisy cardstock
*Silver foil paper
*5 1/2" X 4 1/4" white cards & envelopes, value pack

Just for Fun Blog Hop
Welcome to the Just for Fun Blog Hop!
This hop features lots of wonderful inspiration using the amazing Fundamentals collection -- on sale this month only for 30-40% off!
I recently started a new project series where I am challenging myself to create as many layouts as possible using a single packet of Fundamentals paper while working through the layout guides in the new Make It From Your Heart, Vol. 3. And as if that isn't enough of a challenge, I decided to use the Raspberry papers and complements for the layout below. Using pink is hard for me -- I am the mom of a 6 year old who is 100% boy and I never really been a girlie-girl myself. So it's always fun and challenging to step outside my comfort zone and create with more feminine colors/patterns. I cannot wait to add black & white photos of my husband and I to this layout!

Welcome to the October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!
The month's featured stamp set is S1710 Christmas Tunes (pictured below). This set is only available until October 31st and is only $5 with a $50 Close to My Heart purchase.
I love Christmas music! I dare you not to start singing -- in your head or out loud -- when looking at the stamps in this set. There is just something so catchy and cheery about Christmas songs. I'm not sure what it is... maybe it's that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you hear them or maybe it's the memories that come back to you when a certain song comes on. Whatever it is, this month's stamp of the month set will have you singing in no time!
For today's hop, I created a simple, yet festive Christmas card using Beary Christmas collection. I like to keep my Christmas cards simple and easy to mass produce. Do you make your own Christmas cards?
Supplies used:
*Christmas Tunes stamp set (October SOTM)
*12" x 12" Pebble cardstock

National Stamping Month Blog Hop
Welcome to the National Stamping Month Blog Hop!
In celebration of National Stamping Month, Close to My Heart is offering an exclusive card kit and stamp set called From the Heart. The exclusive From the Heart card kit gives you all the materials you need for creating 12 interactive cards, including an E-size stamp set with heartfelt sentiments and stamps you can layer together for exquisitely artistic cards. You can also purchase the stamp set separately as well as additional sets of card bases/envelopes. For full details on this special, you can visit my CTMH website.
For today's hop, we were challenged to go beyond the kit and create original artwork using the stamp set and/or the kit components themselves. I chose to set the kit aside and focus on the beautiful sentiments in the stamp set. As a fun bonus challenge to myself, I decided to participate in the color dare #260 challenge from Color My Heart Color Dare -- using colors Willow, Raspberry, Bashful, White Daisy and Charcoal.
And if that wasn't enough to pack into one project, I found a 6x6 one-sheet wonder template on Pinterest to scraplift. Have you ever tried a one-sheet wonder? They are fun templates designed to help you get the most out of your patterned paper; some 12x12 designs even stretch your paper to create 20+ cards! The pattern I chose was for 4 cards from 1 6x6 piece of B&T patterned paper.

Stamp of the Month Blog Hop -- Hello Foxy
Welcome to the Stamp of the Month June Blog Hop!
Sometimes I find myself trying too hard to come up with a card design -- so lately, I have been trying to get back to the basics. Today's project is definitely an example of that. I didn't use any patterned paper. Instead I dry-embossed on our awesome white core cardstock and used my sanding block to rough up the embossing a little. I also used the sanding block to distress all the edges to expose that white core.
Another trick I wanted to share with you has to do with the layered circles. See the cocoa circle behind the white circle? Rather than punching it from another piece of cocoa, I simply punched it from the background layer knowing the negative space would be covered by the peacock embossed layer.
