Stampers from the Heart Blog Hop


This months blog hop has a simple theme "Spring".         
       You will see a variety of items as you hop to the other blogs because as long as it is made with items from the current Idea Book and is spring related it fits the theme.
       I have been doing so many projects for other people lately I have been missing actual scrap booking, so I did a double 12x12 page layout. 
       From the moment I opened the new Idea Book I was inspired by the "Patterned Pennants" stamp set on pg. 53. This was the perfect chance to use it but I wanted to stray from the obvious sun look. After deciding on the "Claire" B&T duos paper(it is a page for my daughter Claire after-all) I used the same color palate for ink Hollyhock, Outdoor Denim, Sunset, plus Sweat Leaf green.
I love layered pages and this layout doesn't disappoint in that department. I stamped and pieced the large background circle, used cut outs and font from the Artiste Cricut cartridge, Epoxy bubbles, washi tape, Claire assortment embellishments, Chevron ribbon, and under the raised photo you will find a pull out with journaling. 



     Now that you've checked out my page HOP, HOP, HOP along to my partners in crafting.
