Everything ABC's Blog Hop - Letter A

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!
For this hop we will be featuring the letter "A".  
This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment.  
Whatever the crafter has chosen as their "element" will be featured in their post.
If you came from Diana Saunders then you're on the right track!  

I hope you enjoy the "A" inspired expressions of creativity. 
My letter "A" inspiration is from the "A" size stamp set Heartfelt Hello A1202



The next person in this blog-hop loop is Jenifer Benner of Jen's Messy Studio .
  I hope you enjoyed the inspirations and will encourage us with some comments.

CTMH Technique Blog Hop - Crazy for Complements

Welcome to the January Technique Blog Hop!
For the January CTMH Technique Blog Hop, we will feature the use of Complements.  I'm excited to see the variety of paper crafting ideas produced using Complements that we will find on this  hop.  
 If you are coming from Haley Dyer you are on the right track.  In case you get lost, you can also get a complete list of participants at the bottom of Catherine's blog right HERE. This month we have approximately 10 Close to My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using Complements along with a variety of other great CTMH products.  To enjoy this hop is quite simple to do - just click on the link at the bottom of the post on each blog to move to the next one. Here we go!
 
Complements are a CRAZY FAST way to create cards. 
Just peal and stick, add some bling, 
stamp a sentiment or not, and you are done!
I used Hello Lovely Complements, Blush Shimmer Ribbon, Gold Sequins, Gold Glitter GEMS. Clear Sparkles, Sorbet Patterned paper from Hello Lovely Paper Pack, Gold Shimmer Trim, Sorbet ink and Card Stock, Sea Glass Card Stock and some gold paper from Uptown Fundamentals.
  The sentiment is from "In Bloom" stamped in New England Ivy.





 
Now, hop on over to Annemarie Julian's blog
to see what kind of fabulous art she's created.  
Be sure to drop a comment, we enjoy the encouragement.  
I hope you enjoy the Hop!
