National Scrapbook Day Hop With Clearsnap!

Join the Clearsnap team all weekend long as we hop and scrap and hop some more! Our designers are bringing you a bundle of fun, inky techniques for your scrapbook pages. Just hop through and leave a comment on each post.


Each designer is giving away their own prize pack so be sure to visit every blog on the hop! Entries close on Monday May 6, 2013 at 12:00am.


I am sharing a mini that was started for my daughter's 5th birthday. She is very much into Fancy Nancy right now and making everything over-the-top adorned so I thought this canvas mini with lots of inky layers and embellishments would be just right to capture her at this moment in time.

The inside is yet to be completed but the cover was created using some masking and several layers of Mix'd Media Inx, Smooch Spritz and a touch of Smooch Accent Ink also. 

That's it from me! Be sure to leave a comment below for a chance to win a set of Designer Foils and Design Adhesives! Thanks for stopping by!


To continue on the hop, just follow the list:

Geometric

Hello? Anybody still here? It's been forever since I've stopped in or done anything social media related. Shame on me! But I won't pretend it hasn't been a relief - blogging, facebooking, instagraming, etc. I barely have time for creating these days and I certainly don't want to spend those few spare moments online, kwim?


But I am here today to share the challenge Liz and I prepared for this week on the Pink by Design blog - Geometric. It's been a big trend for a while now but really the basic shapes never go out of style :) Whether you like circles, triangles, hexagons or squares, link up for a chance at $10 to spend in the PBD store.

I had fun playing with tangrams for this card and used the Lucky half pint stamp set.


And this circle one using the Spectacular set. I went a little inky and embossed the glasses in a masked circle then shaded with the Sweet Sixteen Colorbox Pigment Ink Queue. The glasses die cut was embellished with some Smooch accent ink. I might even be warming up to the color purple :)


 And finally a birthday mini book with the Love With You Is half pint stamp set. I layered lots of scrap paper squares to get a fun mix of prints on the cover piece and then repeated stamped the sentiments from this set on the larger cover paper for a subtle design. Inside are patterned paper sheets, tabbed pages and journaling paper for adding notes. 

You can find the post to link up your take on the Geometric trend here.

Paper Issues is celebrating owner and paper slinger extraordinaire Cassie's birthday all this week! Check us out on Facebook - she is giving away over 25 prizes! Woot!! Also stop by the PI blog for the new theme sponsored by Elle's Studio.


Clearsnap just announced their mid season releases in the last weeks - new colors of Smooch Accent Ink as well as the new pigment ink colors in Cat's Eye form. Lots of good stuff! Check them all out here.


My baby bunny is now 7 months old. He is working so hard on getting mobile but every time he tries to crawl he goes backwards. It's pretty cute but he gets so frustrated! Starting to pull himself up and working on the 2 front teeth as well. Add in the separation anxiety phase and we have a baby who does not want to nap or sleep at night. That leaves one tired mama!

The big kids are getting excited for summer and I am too! See you again in a few weeks maybe :)

It's In The Bag // PI Blog Hop


Welcome to the Paper Issues blog hop, "It's In The Bag," sponsored by Whisker Graphics - home to Bitty Bags and Divine Twine! They are giving away 2 spools of twine and a pack of 20 bitty bags - find the details on how to win below.


This is your first stop, so no need to do any backtracking if you happened upon this post by sheer luck :) But do be sure to check out the rest of the hop for some beautiful inspiration from our talented group of gals! Here's the whole list.



I put together this sweet little valentine's mini album using some glassine baggies from Whisker Graphics, the You & Me collection from Elle's Studio, Design Adhesives and Foil from Clearsnap ribbon from 3GirlJam and some badges from A Flair for Buttons. And I just love how it turned out!

Let's take a peek inside, shall we?

The glassine lends a certain romantic feel to it I think. There's lot of tags for journaling and a piece of kraft paper inside with space for a wallet sized photo.

And that's all from me! The next stop is Patricia.

To be entered to win please visit the Whisker Graphics blog and leave a comment on their blog letting them know your favorite color of divine twine or what kind of itty bitty bag you like best! Like Whisker Graphics Facebook page, also don’t forget to tell them we sent you.

Christmas Mini Album


One last project to wrap up the week and also the current challenge at Pink by Design. Today the team is sharing projects that are anything but a card. I knew there wouldn't be enough time to make a December Daily album this year (and honestly my one from last year isn't even completely finished) but we still need some kind of album to commemorate this Christmas. It will probably just be shots and journaling from Christmas morning and that's okay. This month is flying by way to fast and our tree isn't even up yet!


The outside sleeve is a mix of patterned papers from Echo Park and stamped and/or inked die-cut triangles. They are all glued onto a backing paper. I am so in love with this random combo of colors! They came from a page in 'Olive the Other Reindeer." Children's books are such a great source of color inspiration.


I used What's Your Number to stamp the 25 and on the background - Houndstooth Background and Fresh Goodies.  Some of the pennants are just inked and blended with Colorbox Pigment Ink and then spritzed with spray ink.


The inside pages are all ready for pictures and text. I glued more patterned paper down to an accordion folded album.

Linking up to these challenges:
Moxie Fab World - Keen On Neon
Two Peas In A Bucket - Echo Park Project Challenge

And that's all for me today. You have until tomorrow to link up for a chance to win a $10 GC to the Pink by Design store. Good luck and have a fantastic weekend!

Last Summer Romance projects


It's release day for the Last Summer Romance kit!! This August LowCal Fit Kit was designed exclusively for the Scrapfit blog by yours truly! No paper, just the good stuff! I love every sparkly, pastel, girly bit!! Get yours in the Paper Shop for only $15!



Up first is this pretty journal. There is note paper in the front behind the smaller section and cardstock inside so you can tape in photos and bits with the pink striped washi til your hearts content. 8" x 6" is plenty big :)


Matching tags to include inside the journal. 


And a romantic card for a loved one or a happy new couple. (Bowmaker from 3 Girl Jam)

I love that I can add my own choice of papers inside (heaven knows I have plenty) and even after creating these 3 projects, nearly half the embellies are still left over. Wow! 

Pick up yours here before they're sold out!

Chicago Mini Book + Blog Hop

Hello there! There is a new topic up at Paper Issues today and this time I am a part of the blog hop! The theme is "I Can See Clearly" and we want to see everything you have been making with transparencies, vellum, clear cardstock, etc. Of course there is a prize, sponsored by our own fabulous Lowri of Papervine and I am giving away a gift certificate to the Paper Issues shop too! So let's get started!

Here is everyone in the hop - visit in any order you'd like...

Sabrina ==> you are here 


And check out this amazing giveaway!! Packed full of goodness and all you need to do to be eligible to win is "like" the PaperVine page on Facebook. It wouldn't hurt to be a follower of the Paper Issues blog and fan of the Facebook page here too. Then just leave a comment letting us know you did so on this post


Another lucky hopper has the chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the PI store, which is packed full of goodies. Just leave a comment letting me know you are a follower of this blog- and become a follower if you are not already :)


For my project, I put together a mini book to bring on my trip to Chicago and the CHA show next week! The cover is a transparency I made with some stamps and chalk ink on leftover stamp backing. It was inspired by that clear walk-way in the Sears (Willis?) Tower - which of course I won't be walking across since it looks terrifyingly high up! But that is THE Chicago landmark right?


There is some Sass paper layered behind which has a few more layers of paint and ink on top and the rest of the book is just some 6x6 Basic Grey paper which made it incredibly quick to put together. 


On the cover I stamped with Lawn Fawn stamps and Colorbox Chalk Ink - chalk ink is the only kind that will dry on glossy surfaces (other than StazOn). You could emboss too if you are very patient and have a steady hand. 

And that's all from me. Visit Lowri's blog next ♥
