Highlight The Details CTMH Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop!  This month there are 12 of us highlighting the details!

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.

If you are coming from Amy's Blog, you are on the right track!

I had to highlight a special occasion in our household recently- my six year old son lost his first tooth!

I used the Details I Love stamp set to create a layout for this story.

The great thing about this stamp set is that you can really highlight the story behind the photos on your layout, whether it be a big event or an everyday occurrence that sometimes gets overlooked and you want to share some background on it.



I particularly love this small circle stamp, which I accented using the Thin Cuts Stitched Circles for some added dimension.



Now HOP on over to see what Tamara has created!

Have a Blast!

I'm still loving the Stargazer paper pack even though it has retired.

I created this quick card using a small circle cut from a galaxy background I made using inks, a sponge dauber, sprinkles of water and splatters of white pigment ink.

I then added a metallic rocket and the cute sentiment, and attached everything to the rocket paper background.



I am linking up with the Heart 2 Heart Heavy Metal challenge(the metallic rocket) and also the Fusion challenge where I combined both the sketch and the photo.



Thanks for stopping by!

21st with Stargazer

When I first saw the Stargazer pack I loved the space theme, but it is also awesome for masculine projects in general.

I am heading to a 21st tomorrow night (I'm getting to the age where my friends' children are adults now too!) and I decided to make the birthday boy a special card.

I used some scraps from the Stargazer paper plus a die cut 21 to put this card together. I added some yellow sequins to add an extra touch of embellishment- I felt like this card had enough going on and so I did not add a stamped sentiment.



I hope this young man likes his card- it's a bit of a different style for me as I usually need to stamp somewhere but I'm very happy with the finished look.

I'm linking up this card with Seize The Birthday-Sequins and the Happy Little Stampers diecut challenge.

You mean the World to me

My two boys have been amazing at adjusting to a lot of changes in the last few months, and I wanted to let them know how special and important they are to me. I made them each a card and will write in it and leave it on their pillow, and hopefully this will show them how much I care about and appreciate them.

My boys love anything space related, and so it was a perfect opportunity to use some scraps from my Stargazer Paper Packet. I loosely based my card on the WYW design, but made sime changes to the paper and thin cut as my boys have both seen and loved the rocket ship printed paper.

I had a lot of fun stamping the border of the card, and then it was easy to put together the rest. I coloured in the astronaut with the watercolour pencils and added a Zip strip and some Stargazer Dots to finish the card.
