April Paper Trails Blog Hop

Welcome to the Paper Trail Blog Hop! If you've arrived from Vicki's blog, then you are on the right trail. Use the link at the bottom of the post to move on to the next blog and hop on through until you arrive back here. Enjoy!! Thanks for stopping by.

This month we are using CTMH Victory papers. I tried out our new self stick wooden badge buttons. I used the chocolate ink to do the edges of the buttons and to stamp the image on the badge. It's a cool new accessory. I also used copper brads, some of the mini opaques and our discontinued kraft ready borders.

Now it's on to Linda's blog. 

March Paper Trail Blog Hop

This month our blog hop features a new CTMH paper- Stella. If you have come from Betsy's blog you are on the right path.The colors in this pack include cocoa, sunset, olive, and lagoon. I created some cards that would be great for using up scraps. They are simple in design and would be easy to re-create with any paper pack. I added in some buttons and opaques for accents. The sentiment on the top card is from the Stella Workshop on the Go. The lace accent on the bottom card is also from that Workshop on the Go.

Thanks for stopping by. Now you can move to Karen's blog to continue on the hop and see the other ladies' fabulous projects.

Thoughtful Tidings

The new February stamp of the month is Thoughtful tidings. Very useful. Ask me how you can get it.

February Paper Trail blog hop

Welcome- if you have come from Linda's blog, you are on the right track. Sorry to be behind on my posting- report cards and intervention reports took over my life for a week or so. This month we are doing an anything goes blog hop. We were able to use any papers new or old. So I did do a set of cards with some of my favorite papers- Cherry-o and Roxy. These cards were for a workshop for some newbie card makers. So they are very basic and easy to assemble. Many were based on the card layout ideas in a card kit we had in the past. I believe it was called Just Because??  I also did a couple cards at our unit meeting that use the new papers (the last two cards pictured). The papers used in these last two cards are Florentine and Pemberly.

Thanks for looking and now you are off to Vicki's blog- Wizard's Hangout

January Paper Trail Blog Hop

This month's blog hop features Wonderland papers. If you have come from Betsy's blog then you are on the right track. 
 I created two cards and also a Studio J layout.  The cards use the Jan Stamp of the Month and the Bundled Buddies stamp set. For the Studio J layout I used the Wonderland papers but changed the colors.  That is the great thing about doing them in Studio J that you change papers to match your picture colors.

Now hop on over to Connie's blog to continue on. There are lots of great projects to see!!
