Melinda's Blog, where you can find the complete list of bloggers!

Now for those new products!
I love Halloween, and the Jeepers Creepers products are adorable, and perfect for your Halloween photos.  I created a layout of my youngest daughter and the colours in Jeepers Creepers are perfect for these photos:




With the great Complements and washi to match the Paper Packet, this layout was easy to put together.  I added a few fun flowers in coordinating colours, made from the  new Flower Market Cricut Cartridge!

National Stamping Month Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the CTMH National Stamping Month Blog Hop!

This month, 24 consultants from Canada, the US, New Zealand and Australia have created some great artwork using the National Stamping Month special cardmaking kit!


If you have come from DARLYS' BLOG, you are in the right spot!  The hop is a great big circle, but if you get lost, please head over to MELINDA'S BLOG for the complete list of hoppers!


The Create Kindness card kit (CC1145) includes 24 pre-printed card bases with envelopes, 8 exclusive M-size stamp sets, a 2″ × 2″ My Acrylix® block, and an Archival Black mini pigment ink pad, all packed snugly in the My Acrylix® Mini Stamp Organizer - for just $60.95CAD!   I love the mini cards, but this kit is very versatile, and I wanted to highlight that!  Using the kit supplies, plus some cardstock and Adventure Complements, I created a scrapbook page:



I cut apart the mini cards and matted them, then cut my photos the same size and arranged them on a grid.   Next, I stamped one of my fave sentiments from the set for the middle/title. Finally, I added some simple embellishments from the Adventure Complements!  Easy Peasy!!

These are all available as or a kit, or you can get the stamps individually - but how would you choose - they are all awesome!!  If you want to purchase one or all, just click on my side link, or contact your local consultant! - Remember, this is a special available only til the end of September!

Now you can hop over to  JEN'S BLOG, to see what crafty goodness she has for you!
