The Laundry List

I was hoping to get some scrapping done tonight but it is just way TOO HOT here, so it's the perfect time to update my blog and then work on some Studio J layouts in front of the AC in our living room.  I have a lot of info to fill you all in on! 

Please click to view larger!  Photos by Kelly Meyers Photography.  Kit: Discovery.

I am still loving Studio J!  Check out one of the new kits just added (shown above)...Discovery, it is absolutely adorable and so versatile!  I will be sure to use this for several more layouts.  I have quite a few new Studio J layouts that I will be sharing with you.  Notice that these two layouts are similar; to switch it up (besides changing the paper kits) is I rotated the right page of the layout!  There are just so many options in Studio J for personalizing your layouts!  Want to learn more or even how to start out?  Contact me!

This month we have over 60 Close to My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. So be sure to check out all of their inspiring work! This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move on to the next one! Have fun and enjoy!

I am having so much fun creating with this stamp set! I created an "American Celebration" page as well as a completely different themed page using the same stamp set!  This set is a wonderful compliment to the the Token Alpha Stamp, I stamped (using the second generation technique) one of the images right on top of the Alphabet. Click on any of my images to view them larger.

Supplies used to create this two page layout: July SOTM, Token Alphabet Stamp Set, Cranberry Ink, Outdoor Denim Ink, Fanfare Level 2 Assortment, CTMH Papers: Fanfare, Magnifique, Animal Cookies

Up For a Challenge? & SOTM Sneak Peek

Here's a SNEAK PEEK of the layout I created using July's Stamp of the Month (SOTM). 

My inspiration for this layout came from my one my favorite scrapbook blogs to stalk (I mean read on a daily basis!), Susan Weinroth.  She came up with A STASH-BUSTER challenge...to use 10 OR MORE patterned papers in a single layout!  Anyone up for a challenge?  I had so much fun with this challenge...lately my theme has been to scrap my stash so this challenge was just the thing for me!  I used 13, yes THIRTEEN, patterned papers in my layout!  My layout is a two-page layout but for this challenge I am using only the left side of the layout "10 Months."  If you decide to join in on this challenge, send me an email with your pictures. I would love to see them!  Now, you will have to wait until July 1st to see the full layouts!! 

Stay Tuned!

Happy Scrapping, my friends!
