Team Brae-er August Blog Hop - New Products

Welcome to our August Team Brae-er Blog Hop featuring new products.  Since August is the first month of the Annual Inspirations Idea Book, we decided to feature some of our favourite new products.  To purchase any of the items seen in our blog hop today, kindly contact your local consultant to place an order.  For my customers or if you do not have a consultant, and see something you would like, you may order from my website or contact me.

We hope that you will take the time to leave comments on our posts, as we really love feedback from our blog viewers....whether it was something that you really liked or some new technique that was used that you would like to learn how to do....by leaving us comments, we get to hear what you like, and what you want to see. Thank you… now on to our hop!  

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow our team's blogs, then please start at the beginning and join Brae at the Brae-er.  If you came from Michelle at The Right Hugh then you are in the right place! 

One of my favourite products in the new Annual Inspirations if the G1089 Seaside Workshops on the Go Scrapbooking Kit.  I love these kits because they are great value, this one contains over $45 in products for $32.95.  It has all the cardstock, paper, stamps and embellishments to create two 2-page layouts with a lot left over. I'm still scrapbooking our family cruise and this workshop kit was great for our stop in Grand Turk.  I've only made the first layout so far and I still have a little journalling and finishing touches to complete. 

The layout shown uses Z1906 Cricut Artbooking Collection. However if you don't want to use cricut cuts, there are instructions for an alternative layout.

Your next stop on the Team Brae-er Hop is Jan at More Than a Little Ink.   If you get lost along the way, you can head to Brae's blog at the Brae-er, as she has the complete blog list.

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope you enjoyed some of our favourite new products and that we inspired you to get creative with some of designs, products and techniques seen along the way. 

Annual Inspirations - New Product Blog Hop

I'm joining other Close To My Heart Consultants to celebrate the release of Annual Inspirations, the brand new annual Idea Book from Close To My Heart.  If you follow the link, you will also have the option to download the .pdf  One great thing about the new annual format is that customers and consultants alike get to see the Stamp of the Month for the whole year.  I decided to make a card using the August Stamp of the Month S1408 What a Hoot.

I used the new ShinHan Touch Twin Markers to colour in the owl. The paper and cardstock came from the new X7192B Seaside Paper Packet and I embellished with Z1853 Aqua Dots and Z679 Liquid Glass.  I usually buy the Workshops on the Go Kit for their great value.  G1089 Seaside Scrapbooking Kit includes the Aqua Dots used in this card.   Exclusive Inks used were 44751 Archival Black, Z2118 Desert Sand and Z2164 Sorbet.  The pattern used was 9042 Make It From Your Heart Volume 2, Pattern 25.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

This card is based on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #66. This is my first time entering the challenge.  

For this card I used some of my favourite new products from the Close To My Heart Annual Inspirations: X7192 Seaside Paper Packet, and the stamp set D1627 Your Own Kind of Wonderful.  I also used several of the ShinHan Touch Twin markers that CTMH carries to colour in the butterfly.

 

Other products I used were: 44751 Archival Black, Z2128 Hollyhock and Z2195 Lagoon Exclusive Inks, 1246 Hollyhock and X5762 Lagoon Cardstock, Z679 Liquid Glass and Z1327 Blue and Green Sparkles (retired)
