STAMPlorations Mid Month inspiration - Stamps and Circles

Hi everyone! I am back to provide some more inspiration for out theme and phot challenge going on over at STAMPlorations. STAMPlorations

This time I used the Circles prompt for my inspiration. I created the background using the stencil called Retro Circles. 

It created a fun background and a perfect backdrop for my sentiment. The sentiment stamp is from the Typographia Motivate stamp line called Be in Charge. I love how the background is solid on this stamp. It really helps to highlight the sentiment. 

You can link up any kind of project as long as it's inspired by the theme, the photo, or both!

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Hi everyone! We are back for another fun Coffee Lover's Blog hop! I am excited to once again be a Super Sponsor for this year's event.  Be sure to check out the shop where I will be offering 15% off all digital images during the week of the hop.

I recently learned how to create a mini journal, and have gone a little crazy creating all sorts of theme'd mini journals.  The journals are so fun as you can add lots of little ephemera pieces, and I love working with ephemera.

I also created a Fall theme'd journal and shared a process video over on my You Tube channel. If you would like to see how to created this mini journal, you can find the video here. 

the pocket on the left was the perfect size to fit a flash card. I created the Coffee flash card and am offering it as a freebie over in my shop using coupon code: Coffee.  So be sure to grab that freebie soon as It will end once the hop ends. 

All of the ephemera I added came from digital kits in my shop. I will be sure to list those for you below. 

I used my sizzix ticket die to cut out the small coffee flash card. These made them small enough to fit perfectly into the pockets.

I had so much fun creating this mini journal. I hope you liked it. Have fun hopping!

STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Challene - Stamps & Circles

Hi everyone and welcome to our November theme and Photo challenge over at STAMPlorations

I chose to use the photo as my inspiration today. I am using the stamp set called IN BLOOM: floral Bliss Trio.  I have outlined the stamped image using Gold Pen Touch. This is the first time i have tried this product and I was impressed on the ease of using it. 

To go along with the Circle prompt of the challenge, I die cut the rose in the center and popped it up with some foam tape to give it a spotlight affect.
