Everything ABC's Blog Hop Letter B...

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this Hop we will be featuring the letter "B"  This may be the name of a paper, stamp set or an embellishment.  Whatever the crafter has chosen as their "B" element will be featured in their post.

If you came here from  Wendy Kessler at My Scrapbooking Blog then you're right on track!

My Inspiration for the Letter "B" is BLOSSOMS :)  As the winter winds blow I am already thinking of Spring BLOSSOMS and what better way to do that than using CTMH's January Stamp Of The Month "Beloved Bouquet" and a few cuts from our Exclusive Cricut Cartridges.

I used our Newest Cricut Cartridge "Artistry" and one of my personal favorites "Artiste" for a combination of Sentiments and Images.  The Tea Cup and Layered Bloom with Paired Leaf is from Artistry and the Sentiments and Scalloped Layered Card are from Artiste.

The blossoms in the Tea Cup are Stamped Images from "Beloved Bouquet."  I love this beautiful stamp set and it is only available this month as our featured Stamp of the month.  Be sure to get yours before January 31, 2016 only $5 with a qualifying purchase.

Everything ABC's Blog Hop Letter V...

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this Hop we will be featuring the letter "V"  This may be the name of a paper, stamp set or an embellishment.  Whatever the crafter has chosen as their "V" element will be featured in their post.

If you came here from Lauren Moore's CTMH Craftings then you're right on track!


My Inspiration for "V" was Close To my Heart's New My Reflections Paper Collection "La Vie En Rose."  From the minute I saw it, I new it was going to be one of my favorites!  I created and demoed this Valentine's inspired One Sheet Wonder Mini Album at a Team Retreat back in September and knew it would be perfect for this HOP.  This cute little ditty provides NINE Pockets for you to add pictures, journaling, gift cards, tickets, etc.  This project features 2 Top Pockets and 1 Side Pocket in which I used our New Pomegranate Cardstock as a base and 6 Inside Pockets with Daisy White and Black Cardstock bases.  Kick it up a notch with an array of embellishments and don't forget to use one of our zip strips...the "From me to YOU" fits perfectly on the cover.  How will you be Inspired?
