I’m excited to be joining the CTMH Independent Consultants SOTM Blog Hop group for the New Product Blog Hop. If you’ve come from Brenda Lapp’s Blog you are in the right place! If you’ve started here, WELCOME! This blog hop is a great big circle. Just click on the link at the bottom of each post to hop to the next blog! If you get lost along the way you can find a complete list of participants on Melinda’s Blog.
I really struggled when choosing what products to showcase in this hop, because there are so many FANTASTIC new products available in the NEW Annual Inspirations Idea Book. It’s back to school time so it seemed fitting to use the Chalk It Up Paper Packet!! This scrapbook layout is based off this sketch from Citrus Twist Kits.
Let’s break my layout down layer by layer! I started with a 12×12 piece of {NEW} Flaxen Cardstock for the base. Can you see the “textured” background on the cardstock? That was created using an overlay from the Artbooking Cricut® Cartridge, {NEW} Flaxen Exclusive Ink™, and a Round Sponge. I then layered a Lagoon Cardstock in the center of the layout and added a little distressing using an Edge Distresser. Next I cut two tags using the Art Philosophy Cricut® Cartridge and tucked them under the B&T Duos™ from the {NEW} Chalk It Up Paper Packet.
Now let’s talk stamping and embellishments! The title comes from the Hopscotch Alphabet Stamp Set, and all of the other stamped images come from the {NEW} Chalk It Up Workshop On The Go™ Scrapbooking Kit Stamp Set in Archival Black Exclusive Ink™! I added {NEW} White Enamel Stars and a few {NEW} Chalk It Up Puffy Stickers Assortment to the layout. To add the finishing touches I used the {NEW} Mini Stapler and I placed {NEW} Black Arrow Washi Tape at the top and bottom of the Lagoon Cardstock.
I hope you’re finding a lot of inspiration on this blog hop! You’re next stop on the hop is Heather Schmuckal.
Happy Hopping!
