The Everything ABC's Blog Hop: Letter U
Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!
For this hop we will be featuring the letter U. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their U element will be featured in their post.
When I think of the letter U, I think of Unique! What could be more Unique than your own name? A customer requested some cards to use to give out to her friends and customers. Her first name started with an M so here is what I created for her. I used many retired products for this card (sorry) but I always let my customers decide what colors and papers to use.
If you are ever in need of custom greeting or note cards please let me know and I will do my best for you!

I absolutely LOVE this stamp set! I love the subway word art trend that is all over the place and the best part about this stamp set is that it includes a Fall and a Winter themed stamp! With the beginning of September all things pumpkin have returned and I am loving it although my waistline is not, lol! I now live in Louisiana and so we do not have the traditional Fall season but I remember them from one point in time.
After playing with this stamp set, I am now ready to break out the pumpkin pie and lattes everyday from here until December! I originally was going to make a traditional size card, 4 1/4x 5 1/2, but due to the size of the stamp I opted for a 6x6 card base. The other layered papers are cut at 5 1/2x5 1/2, 5 1/4x 5 1/4, 5x5 and 2 1/2x 4 3/4 respectively. I used Smokey Plum for the base, the layered colors are Autumn Terracotta, Barn Red, Goldrush and Honey. The inks were stamped in the same order with the exception of Honey ink, which was not used. I simply masked off each section as I went. That is the beauty of our stamps, since they are clear you can see exactly what you are doing! I also used the maple leaf from A Wonderful Season D1498, to do some random stamping on the Goldrush layer because it looked to plain otherwise.
All products used were from Close to my Heart and can be found on my website at www.scrapperstherapy.com Also visit my fan page on Facebook for more artwork and the current specials at www.facebook.com/scrapperstherapy.

It's finally here! The NEW Autumn/Winter Idea Book is live!!!
The day is finally here when you can see all the wonderful paper crafting goodness that Close to my Heart has made available for us this season. My number one favorite is the Artbooking cartridge. I cannot believe how versatile it is.
Do you know that you can create an entire layout from just ONE key? That is unheard of! Gone are the days of using multiple cartridges to weld together the perfect layout. You can make mini books, card, layout....the possibilities are endless! I can show you how to use it through my tips and tricks (available only when purchasing cartridge through me) and even how to buy it for HALF PRICE!
After browsing through the online idea book HERE, post a comment with your favorite new product.
All comments will be entered into a drawing for a FREE August stamp of the month, which is all about chocolate! Must enter by August 15th to be eligible.

Roxybonds Scrappers blog hop
Welcome to to the Roxybonds Scrappers blog hop! This month we will be featuring artwork from the Surf's Up paper pack.
If you came from Catherine's blog then you are on the right track.
Here is the surprisingly simple card I made.
The best part of this card is that it required NO stamping or inking so it was quick and easy to complete. I cut the base out of Surf's Up teal cardstock at 6x12 and scored at 6". I then cut the coordinating\g b&t papers at 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 (waves) and 5 x 5 (beach). I used the zip strip of beach balls for accent pieces. I also punched the girl with umbrella out of the same piece using a 1 1/4" circle punch and the teal with a 1 3/8" punch.
Supplies Used:
Surf's Up paper pack (X7168B)
Your next stop on the hop is Jen Patrick of Roxybonds Scrappin. Thank you for hopping along with us and make sure to come back next month to see what we create!

Stampers with an Attitude Hop
Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop! Thanks for joining us in sharing some Fun in the Sun to get the Summer in full swing.
If you came from Sheila's blog then you are on the right track.
My project is a card featuring a retired paper pack called Moon Doggie. I love the tropical Hawaiian theme of this paper pack and it always reminds me of soaking up the sun on a beach with one of those umbrella drinks in my hand.
The best part of this card is that it required no stamping or inking so it can be completed quickly and easily with just the paper pack and coordinating my stickease.
I hope you enjoyed fun in the sun with me and please continue onto Pamela's blog to enjoy some more fun.
Here is the full hop line up just in case you get lost along the way.
If you came from Sheila's blog then you are on the right track.
