Jump On It - July Special bloghop

For this hop, we are featuring a variety of stamp sets you can usually only get as a hostess item.  I've explained the July special promotion, Jump On It, below.  

In this blog hop, if you are coming from Pam's blog you are on the right track.  The hop is one big loop of blogs.  If you are starting here, just look near the end of my post to see the name (in red) of the blog you are to visit next.

I used the hostess set, Paper Bird, a hostess set from the Seasonal Expressions 2 for this layout.

I have lots of fun photos from my garden and other gardens I visit, so I thought I could use this layout for the first page of a garden scrapbook or I could frame it with my favorite picture from my own garden this year.  My color choice was inspired by this week's Color Dare #150 using Sunset, Sweet Leaf, Slate, and White Daisy. Often I tend to use the same old favorite colors and supplies, but when I work on blog hops, I like to challenge myself to use different techniques or supplies I don't normally use.  The Close To My Heart Color Dare prompts are always a good place to start.  I also used washi tape and our spray pen which I don't use too often.


Supplies used   click on any of the links below to see the products on my website
Stamp Sets: Paper Bird and Distressed Backgounds
Washi Tapes: Sunset chevron, Silver Geometric
Ribbon: Slate Diagonal Striped
Cardstock: White Daisy, Sunset, Slate, Sweet Leaf

News Flash

Hey!  

Look what I found on the

While Supplies Last 

page of my website!  

My Boo-boo fixer-up tool!

We can still get that great texture brush I often use for texturing scrapbook pages or covering boo-boos on my cards.  It comes with a few other items, but they're all great additions to anyone's scrapbook/stamping tool bin.  It's only $7 for the set.

Here's the link to the item on my website.  You need to order it on-line since it is only available to order that way.  There is an open July order on my website page, so if you order, that puts your name in a drawing for the hostess items for this month.  Just join the order in the lower right hand part of the page.  Choose smart post  ($4.95) for your shipping option to save a bit on shipping.

If you don like to order on-line, let me know and I can order it for you.  Now, get them before they're gone!

Retiring Products List

Get your favorite CTMH products 

before they're gone!

The new Annual Inspirations is waiting in the wings for release on September 1.  Lots of fun new papers, stamps, and products are coming I've heard.  (I didn't go to convention this year, so I haven't seen them yet, but I'm hearing great things.)

In the meantime, many CTMH products have been added to the retiring list.  As of August 31st, you will no longer be able to get them.  Some of the more popular ones will be gone long before that, so if you have a favorite paper packs, stamp sets, washi tapes, embellishments etc. NOW is the time to get them before they sell out.

Be sure to note the following COLORS will be discontinued, so if you have some projects going where you will need these colors of card stock, ink, or re-inkers, order now.   You can click on each of these colors to go to the page on my website to get a better look.

Outdoor Denim
Smokey Plum
Autumn Terracotta
Olive    (re-inker is already sold out)
Barn Red
Ponderosa Pine


I have a July orders tab open now on my website where you can order on-line.  It is down in the right hand corner of the page.  Just click and order.  I will be choosing a mystery hostess from that order, so you may have a chance to win free product as well if you order there.

You can contact me if you'd rather order through me.

Here's a link to the entire retiring list if you want to see what else is going.  (18 pages, so there's a good chance that your favorite is on there.)

This link takes you to pictures of products on the retiring list -- even better!
