Oh, I love-love-love how this layout turned out!  I used this sketch from  Sketch Support.  All products are Close to My Heart.  I used the retired Sweetheart papers with a Cotton Candy cardstock background.  For the border I cut 2″ scalloped borders with the Art Philosophy cartridge, cut them in half and lined them up along the striped paper.  The title is from The Perfect Title and also cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge.  It took a little extra time to cut all the hearts from the Affection stamp set (stamped with first- and second-generation Cotton Candy ink) and attach with 3D foam tape, but it was well worth it!  Grey sparkles were the finishing touch.

C1467 Sweet Moments

Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: Sweet Moments stamp set, Sweetheart Paper Packet (retired), Cotton Candy cardstock, Black cardstock, Love Life stamp set, Pink Sparkles, Black ink, and Cotton Candy ink.  Sketch from Got Sketch.

I used this stamp set in a variety of ways….the lace border along the bottom of the page, the title, the embellishment cluster, and the stamping in the upper right corner.  One of my favorite things to do is to cut out my images and use 3D foam dots to add dimension.  I also like to add embellishments to my stamping like the sparkles on this page.

WELCOME!  I’m so glad you are joining us for our “Use Your Stash Blog Hop”.  If you have already started, you should be coming from Rachel Ventura’s Blog.  If this is your first stop, continue through until you make your way back here.  This month we are using chalk, something that I have not used in a very, very long time.  In fact, I wasn’t even sure I had this anymore.

Supplies used: CTMH Sweet Leaf Ribbon (retired), CTMH Love in Bloom Stamp Set (retired), CTMH Chalks (retired), unknown ricrac from my stash, CTMH Sparkles, and CTMH Bitty Sparkles.  Sketch from Got Sketch.

This was a fun layout to do.  My daughter came up to me when I was working on this and said “oh, you are using those (chalks) they are so cool!”  It’s an old supply that I have not used in a very long time.  I colored the stamped images with chalk.  She suggested that I add more than the yellow to the sun so I mixed in a bit of pink and it turned out very pretty.  The sun is really a sunflower stamp.  Then, I also did something I am surprised worked….I stamped with the chalk.  Because it is yellow it’s hard to see, but I used the flourished stem from one of the flowers and chalked up just that part (dabbing it on heavy with an applicator), then I stamped it directly onto my paper.  I’m sure that a darker color would work better.

Gee, I didn’t realize until I uploaded my photo that my layout doesn’t have a title!  I think I’m going to keep it that way.

Now hop on over to Joy McHargue’s Blog for more ideas on using up your stash.

Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: Art Philosophy Cricut Collection, Olivia Paper Packet (retired), Bronze Glitter Glitz, Mini-Medley Accents Antiqued Gold, Artiste Cricut cartridge, Gold Metallics Marker, and inks (Autumn Terracotta, Olive, & Cocoa).

To get the different colors on the leaves, I first inked in Autumn Terracotta, then using sponge daubers added Olive and Cocoa before stamping.  I love the look!   All the stamps I used are from the Seasons stamp set which is included in the Art Philosophy Collection.  The title is cut from the Artiste cartridge.

C1463 Harvest Happiness

Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: Harvest Happiness stamp set, Mini-Medley Accents Antiqued Gold, Bronze Glitter Glitz, Cocktail Alphabet stamp set, Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, and inks (Autumn Terracotta, Cocoa, and Goldrush).  Sketch from Got Sketch.

This stamp set is one that coordinates with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  I just love this!  I cut the leaves in the upper left of the page with the Art Philosophy cartridge then stamped my image, so much faster and easier than cutting them out by hand!  I created the border along the left with one of the leaf images and added Glitter Glitz throughout the page for some bling.

This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.  So if you are starting here, just continue until you make your way back.  If you have already started, you should be coming from Kindred Heart’s Blog.

Supplies used: Die Cuts With a View Just Dreamy Stack, Close to My Heart Cricut Artiste Collection Kudos stamp set, and Close to My Heart Red Glitter Glitz.

My rock n roll stamping technique is used for the circle border along the center of the page.  I first inked the image in Cranberry, then rolled in Outdoor Denim before stamping.  The glitter glitz was used to create the dots and the border, how cool is that!

I used this sketch from Sketches in Thyme:

Supplies used are all CTMH: (retired) papers, Playful Flourishes stamp set (retired),  Chocolate cardstock, Chocolate ink, Baby Pink cardstock (retired), Just Blooms flower (retired), Solos 1 stamp set (retired), Chocolate grosgrain ribbon (retired), button (retired), and Colonial White Waxy Flax.

The October 2012 Scrap Our Stash Challenge is “Hot Chocolate”.  I just love to use a chocolate-color brown on my layouts and my favorite color combination is brown and pink.  For this layout I felt that the background layout was a bit plain so I random-stamped flourishes using chocolate ink on the chocolate cardstock.  This added a bit of pattern without making the layout too busy.  These 8×10 photos can be difficult to scrap but this was was a breeze.
