thanks a hOOt



Hi Everyone! It's already Thursday and that's hard to believe. This week is flying by for me, how about you? I decided to try out my now Cornish Heritage Farms Scrapblocks and my first to pick up was the distressed circles, of course. After stamping it, I was AMAZED! It looked like designer patterned paper. LOVE THIS STAMP! I can't wait to ink the others very soon! I was technically just 'testing' it out on a scrap piece of cardstock, then ended up liking and made use out of it! For the Maya Road chipboard tree limb, it is painted with brown acrylic. I painted a few limbs a while ago so that when I was ready to use one, it could be painted. This works great when you are short on time, especially when you know most of the time a tree limb will be brown.

I was able to photography my friend's (from the 6th grade) daughters (Aniyah + Jordyn) and wanted to share a few of them with you. You can view the rest of them here.





Thanks for stopping by! Mac appreciated all of the comments and was excited! "See" ya'll tomorrow!

Very cute. I hadn't heard of the scrap blocks but as soon as I saw them on your video I went to the website and I will be ordering soon. Love the card and the vivid colors. Oh and the babies are so super cute.

Love, love, love the card, Ashley! Thinking I may need some of those scrapblocks, too. AGH! The list never ends! Great pics of your friend's daughters, too.

This card is SO COOL! And that background totally does look like patterned paper! Love the bold color palette. :)

So cute! I got one of those CHF scrap blocks at the show, but not that one. I'd been eyeing them for a while, but my budget was usually swallowed by PTI. Lol! Now I just need to get some bigger stamp pads. Trying to ink it up with the little blocks takes too long! :-)

See... I knew I needed those darn 6x6 blocks when I watched your vlog! I'm convinced now. :-) And the last photo is by far my fave! If those were my kids I'd make a poster out of it! Lol... too cute!

I was desperately looking for PTI CHA videos at You Tube last weekend and found your PTI After Release Party! And now to discover you have a blog too! I will be stopping by for a daily cup of inspiration! I love your videos and so appreciate you sharing CHA with us who weren't there. I love the Distressed Circles Scrapblock and look forward to seeing all the ways you use your CHF and PTI goodies!
