Hi everyone and welcome to this months Scrap Your Stash Blog Hop hosted by Practical Scrappers!  You should have arrived here from the fabulous Melissa's blog, if not check it out here.  It's that time of the month where you dig into your stash, you know that older stack of scrapbook paper that just keeps multiplying because you have found new paper that you just can't live without!  What, what is that you say..." Why Bobbi that looks like more Crate Paper".  Yes...yes it is, I just can't help myself (one of my favorite scrapbook companies) I'm obsessed.  For this layout I'm using Crate Papers - On Trend collection. I layered several patterned papers from the collection.  I shaded my paper pieces with walnut stain Distress Ink and a blending tool and then distressed the edges with a bone folder. I did a little splattering with some Heidi Swap Gold Color Shine and Mister Huey's Opaque White sprays.  I am in love with that gold!!! All of the wood veneers are Studio Calico and the buttons are from the On Trend collection as part of an embellishment pack.  GIVEAWAY!!!  Up for grabs is a selection of 6 x 6 scrapbook papers with coordinating bakers twine and washi tape.  To enter, just become a follower on my blog through Google, Google plus, or the email option.  Leave me a comment letting me know you are a new follower! I will leave this giveaway open until 11:59 CST on June 6th. I hope you enjoyed my layout, let me know what you think, I love your comments!  Thanks for stopping by and we'll see you next time!  Next on the blog hop list is the very talented Majken, happy hopping!!!

Hi everyone, hope you're having a great summer!   School is back in session and fall will be right around the corner,  which is my favorite season of the year!  It's time for Practical Scrappers Scrap Your Stash August Blog Hop!  You should have arrived from Wendy's Blog - if you didn't you may want to go back and check out all of the wonderful inspiration!   I decided to do something a little different, I made an ATC (Artist Trading Card) for the hop.  I stamped one of the gals images (from below) with Jet Black Archival Ink on 140lb watercolor paper. Dina Wakley Media - All the Gals - MDR41290 (all of Dina's stamps ROCK!!!) Then I  extended the image to create more of a body with the head using a Fude Ball pen from Ranger (it's waterproof).   This pen is awesome if you do any type of mixed media work too.   I used a combination of Koi watercolors and Neocolor 11 watercolor crayons to color the background and the stamped image, but you could use whatever you have on hand.   I highlighted a few areas with a white gel pen and also used some vintage music paper.   For a little more detail I dug into my stash and added some old rub ons to the background and to her top.  Now for a finishing touch I added a small heart and stamped the word "worthy" from the stamp set.  My little ATC will eventually end up either in my art journal or on a card.  Now, it's time to hop on over to Wendi's Blog!  Here is the complete list of Practical Scrappers blog hoppers, so you don't miss out on any of the fun!
