September/October New Product Blog Hop

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting our new product blog hop!   You'll get a chance to see many of the new products for the September/October new idea book today.  A blog hop is just one big loop of crafty, fun ideas for paper crafting as you visit each of the connected blogs.  If you are coming from Pam's blog, you are on the right path.  If you are starting here, just look for the link at the end of my post to Kristine's blog, (and successive posts) to see which blog to visit next.

Today I am showing a scrapbooking layout I made using the papers from the Bloom With Grace line of products .  What a wonderful collection, especially for this time of year when sunflowers are at their peak!  In this collection you will find anything and everything for any level of paper crafter:

• scrapbooking and card making workshops  

• a beautiful paper pack (with or without sticker sheet)

• coordinating stamp sets and card stock 

• Picture My Life cards  

• wooden embellishments  

• There's even a Cricut Bloom with Grace collection available! (Be sure to click on the green Cricut icon at the bottom of your consultant/maker's website.)

You can find all of them on my website.  Click on featured products.

.  Here's the Bloom with Grace paper pack with stickers that I used in making 

the scrapbook layout I'm sharing today.

You will love the Bloom with Grace paper pack and other products associated with it.  They are available through your Close To My Heart consultant/maker. (or visit my website)  The products featured here are available only through the life of this idea book which ends October 31st.  

After seeing all the great ideas in this blog hop, you're going to want to visit the new idea book here.   Be sure to scroll down to the September/October Idea book (although you'll enjoy the year long core catalog as well.)

Thanks for stopping by today.

I used the Got Candy? paper pack and stickers for my projects for this blog hop.

The letters used on this layout are from the Classic Alphabet Thin Cuts.

The background on these pages were achieved by blending 

Distress Oxide Inks - Spiced Marmalade, Black Soot, and Peeled Paint.

 The monthly layouts for my grandchildren's scrapbooks were made following designs from the Make It From the Heart - Volume 3 set which will allow for 4 x 12 Pocket Plus Memory Protectors to be inserted if there are more pictures from the month than I currently have space for. This is why I have the titles off to the sides of the pages.

Here's a closer look at the details from this layout.

The apples are from the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Collection.

The letters (available online) Block Alphabet Thin Cuts.

After seeing all the great ideas in this blog hop, you're going to want one  or more of these products.  The Got Candy? products are available only through October 31 or while supplies last, so be sure to place your order soon. You can get them through your Close To My Heart consultant or find them here.

Welcome!

Glad you could join us today!  A blog hop is just one big loop of fun and creative ideas. So if you're joining me here, grab your beverage of choice, and sit back ready to be inspired by creative ideas for using this new Close To My Heart stamp of the month.  If you are coming here from Katy's blog , you are on the right path.  At the end of this post you will see a link to Colleen's blog for you to continue following the hop.  

The stamp of the month, Here for the Memories, is a set of 13 stamps that will be especially 

great for scrapbook pages, however, I'm sure as you go through this hop, 

you'll see lots of creative and fun ideas for using this stamp set.  

 

I paired this stamp set with paper from the Bloom With Grace from the new September/October idea book (click on More) which just went LIVE today for a layout that I intend to use with some vacation photos that included some wonderful flower gardens.  I also used one of the new stencils from Close to My Heart's Core idea book, (click on More) texture paste and Canary re-inker to create the background floral design.

Here's a closer look at the sections where I used this stamp set and the stenciling.
