Hello!
I'm so excited! This is my first blog hop!

If you came from Jamie Blades' Blog - Creative Projects, you are in the right place.

If you have jumped here and just discovered our Blog Hop, fell free to check the list at Damask Divas Blog to find the complete list of Blog Hop participants.
And don't forget to enter the Damask Divas GIVEAWAY this month. Enter to win a Close To My Heart Stamp Set.

This month we are using the Chantilly Paper Packet for our creations. This is what I came up with:

I've seen a lot of "dry erase" weekly planners on Pinterest, using photo frames or collage frames and wanted to make one. I have had this 8 x 10 inches acrylic frame with magnets for the longest time now...but never really used it.
I guess you can say I just "killed two birds with a stone"...although I would never kill birds...

All I had to do was cut three 1.5 inch strips and one 1 inch strip of papers from the Chantilly Paper Packet and adhere them on a piece of 8 x 10 white cardstock, as shown.
Then, I used the stamp set that came with Workshop on the Go Chantilly Scrapbooking Kit to decorate the left side (if you buy the kit you get the papers and the stamp set!)
I used the Trinity Alphabet Set for the days of the week.
And finally, I inked the edges of the final piece.

Here's the rest of the supplies I used for the project:
Cotton Candy Stamp Pad
Memento Rich Cocoa Ink Pad
Memento Pear Tart Ink Pad
8 x 10 Acrylic Frame with magnets

The next blog on the list is Melissa Lind's My Watermelon Moon.
Hope you have a great time on our Blog Hop checking out all the creations using Chantilly.
If you get lost, just hop on over to Damask Divas Blog for the full list.

Thanks for visiting!

Weekend Projects: Toilet Paper Tube Owls

If you visit my Pinterest, you'll see a board named "For Kids". There's a pin on the board that inspired me to make these owls.
I made these with my boy N. He helped me draw the eyes and glue the pieces. =)

My owls are slightly different than the ones on the pin, though.
The top is supposed to be taped down but my tape didn't want to stay in place because of the paint...so I just cut the top off...
The eyes are 1 inch paper circles that I die cut using my Slice machine.

For the wings and beaks, I used the stamp set that came with the Workshop on the Go Chantilly Scrapbooking Kit from CTMH (Close to my Heart).

Hope you try these out with your kids!

Banner Thank You Card

This is a card I made for my sister-in-law.
I used For A Friend (D1542) stamp set from Close To My Heart (CTMH).
The laurel was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed in gold. The banner was cut out and adhered with foam tape for dimension.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
