My Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday ~ November

Welcome to this month's Pinkalicious Blog Hop hosted by Robyn at My Pink Stamper!  This month we were challenged to use Robyn's latest stamp releases in a mini album or a scrapbook page.  Since I have SO many photos that need scrappin', I decided on a layout:




Materials Used:
  • Imagine Cartridge "Better Together"
  • My Pink Stamper "Flowers & Friendship" stamp set
  • Core'dinations cardstock
  • Pop dots
  • Stampin' Up Black classic ink
  • Stampin' Up Black journaling marker
  • White Gelly Roll pen
    This layout is super easy if you have an Imagine.  I started off by printing and cutting the first layer (scene) of the image on page 10 of Better Together @ fit to page.  Next, I cut all the layers of the girl/dog image on page 20 @ 4.5" relative.    I then compared the images to my Core'dinations paper stack to see which colors matched up best.  What I like about Core'dinations paper is that it adds texture to your project.  You can leave it as is, like I did in my layout, and it still has a textured look and feel.  In addition, you can emboss it for added depth and design, you can tear it, sand it, just do about anything you would like to it to give it a different look.  It also cuts well in my Cricut machines. 
    Once I had all my images added to the base cardstock, I decided on size and picture placement.  I used two 4x6 rectangles, rounded the edges, and adhered them to my page.  I chose my sentiment from My Pink Stamper's Flowers & Friendship stamp set and stamped it right onto the scene layer. It can be ordered HERE.  Lastly, I added hand stitching and doodles to complete the page.

To thank you for hopping along with us, I am giving away a Core'dinations kit:

This kit includes one 6x6 paper pack in Mod.  It has 80 sheets!  Also included is a sanding gadget and refills so you too, can try  adding more texture to your projects.
To win, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  I will use Random.org to choose a winner on Tuesday, November 15.  Be sure to come back and visit to see if you have won!  =)

I hope you are enjoying yourself thus far.  Your next stop on the hop is with Angela.

In case you just joined us, please feel free to start at the beginning.  You won't want to miss any of the talented designers!  ;)
