Three Amigos October 2016 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Three Amigos Blog hop.  We are three Close to My Heart Independent Consultants with a love for stamping and scrapping and would like to share our creative ideas with you.  On the 3rd of each month we feature a different CTMH product and create a card, layout, or other project.  There are only three stops on this hop so it will only take a few minutes to hop through.

This month's challenge is to use three textures on our project. I put together a single page layout using the Swan Lake Paper Pack and added texture with the Swan Lake and All Together Complements. I incorporated a little bit of Black Glitter Paper, embossed vellum, and some white Enamel Gems from the grey assortment.




I trimmed down a Picture My Life Overlay to fit over my photo. The sentiment on the card set the theme for the layout.




I used the Hearts Thin Cuts again this month to cut the Ruby heart for my layout. The "Together" copper foil vellum piece came from the All Together Complements. I stamped the names and "#SELFIE" on vellum with copper pigment ink and embossed them with clear embossing powder. The All Together Complements also include kraft embellishments, so I used Kraft Cardstock to mat my photo.




Thanks for hopping by! Hop over to Lisa's blog and Donna's blog to see what they created for you.

    1. The picture is one of my favorites. I've been in a creative slump too. I "incubated" this idea for a few weeks. You are the one that usually gets me back in the groove! I miss scrapping together!

    1. Thanks, Lisa! It felt good to finally get a layout finished! I was inspired by a recent layout you shared using Jeepers Creepers.
