You Capture: Sky

I have been neglectful about taking pictures so I thought I would play along with You Capture.

It is actually a dreary day here in San Diego so I was surprised when I found a little patch of blue sky out there. Doesn't it look heart shaped?

CTMH Dotty For You and Page Kits!

It was a productive weekend for me!  I finished up the kits for my workshop on Saturday, created some page kits and worked at the Scrapbook Expo in Del Mar on Saturday.  You should have seen the CTMH booth I worked at.  The samples were amazing!!!  Bren and Joanne outdid themselves.

I'm still seeing DOTS and loving my Dotty For You paper.  Look at the adorable layout I created!  It was quick and easy.

You can still get your Dotty For You paper pack for only $5 (see website for details. Must order $25 from current catalog to qualify) and help me try to WIN a workshop for 20 people from CTMH.  This week I will be giving away a free A or B sized stamp set to someone who places a Dotty for You or Stamp of the Month order with me.  (You get two entries if you order both!)

CTMH Dotty for You Videos

Hubby is home so I haven't had much time to hang out in my stamp room.  I have a few samples that are almost ready to be photographed and I'm prepped and ready to shoot a few videos...but that doesn't seem as fun as hanging out with hubby. LOL

Here are a couple of CTMH videos to tide you over.

Video #1 features the Dotty for you Paper Pack

And video #2 was created for consultants.  It explains the contest I am trying to win!!!  I'm well on my way to selling 100 of these items, but I need YOUR help!!  Share this fun special with your friends and family.  We can put together an online party just for you and you'll earn FREE product too.  So help spread the word and let's win this contest.  I want 20 of my buddies to enjoy this fun workshop with CTMH.

You can head on over to my website and place your order.

CTMH May SOTM Blog Hop - Friendship Bouquet

Welcome to the May Stamp of the Month (SOTM) blog hop!  You may be starting here...or hopping over from Traci's Blog.  Either way works!  Once you're done, click the link at end of my post to continue your journey through inspiration.

This month we are featuring Friendship Bouquet (set of 8).  I absolutely loved sitting down to create with this set.  Only one problem.. all I wanted to do was color the images!!  I stamped up several sunflowers and then kept coloring them with different color combinations.  It was very relaxing...until I thought... "Oh no!  I have to have a completed project to post!" LOL

Since we're still running our amazing Dotty For You Special, I thought I'd experiment with some non-traditional colors.  If they can dye flowers to go with prom dresses and weddings, why not make them match our paper?

Design Tips:

• Instead of stamping your image in the middle of your paper, try moving it over to a corner, leaving room for a saying, to add visual interest.
• Add depth to your image by outlining it with a soft grey marker (Grey Flannel)
• Use a blending marker to pick up ink and create a lighter shade (center of flower)

This one is a little bit more traditional....

Now it's time to hop on over to Krista's Blog for more ideas!
