<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">For this card I used my chipboard a few different ways. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first technique was actually a border mask. Instead of leaving the actual chipboard on the card, I laid the border on the card, spray misted it, and was left with a gorgeous swirly pattern that the chipboard was able to mask. Its a fun technique and saves chipboard :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">
<span lang="EN"> I also spray misted the "Celebrate" arrow, and left the scallop border just plain. So many fun ways to use the chipboard!</span></span></span><br />

<br />
Our theme for this blog hop is Technique, each of our wonderful design team members will show you how to decorate those chipboard pieces or create new chipboard pieces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3803/8757235485_602dd0f758.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3803/8757235485_602dd0f758.jpg" /></a></div>
I created a fun, sweet vintage card and wanted to show you the process I took to create the effect on the chipboard. Unfortunately the photos don't quite show off the versatility of the chipboard and how well it takes to different techniques, but its fabulous! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3818/8758359576_67535d9a29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3818/8758359576_67535d9a29.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I started off with these three pieces of chipboard, corner scroll, birdcage, and "sweet".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3760/8758359248_6f7c7d96f8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3760/8758359248_6f7c7d96f8.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Before I did anything else, I decided the corner piece wasn't quite the shape I wanted, so usin an exacto knife, I along some of the lines and ended up with this fun, custom scrollwork! The chipboard is easy to cut, even though its very strong.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3680/8758359346_8c0c3e1b24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3680/8758359346_8c0c3e1b24.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I then applied a very generous amount of glimmermist with a pain brush! It applies a gorgeous, almost burnt glitter effect this way. It was a technique I stumbled actross because my sprayer stopped working and I needed to change the colour of my chipboard. The paint brush works great if you want a nice, even layer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2844/8758359422_bbee959146.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2844/8758359422_bbee959146.jpg" /> </a></div>
<br />
My final step in customizing the chipboard was to take a white inkpad and stamp over the surface, it creates a beautiful chic antique look.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8544/8757235129_ca958cf704.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8544/8757235129_ca958cf704.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />

I know I'm a little bit prejudice, but I'm quite convinced that I have the most adorable little girl. I finally printed off some photos and am starting to scrapbook them. Sofia is only 8 months old, but I already feel like she is so big when I look at this photo from her taken at 4 weeks old. She was such a gorgeous little thing and she's grown up so much!<br />
<br />
I loved this sketch from <a href="http://sketchabilities.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Sketchabilities</a> and this may have been the quickest I ever finished a page. It took about an hour. Sometimes I can spend days on a page! But with a sketch like this, it just came together so beautifully.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm back for with another round of fun cards with Memory Maze products! This month, I have a bit of a fun twist that I'd like to share and highlights the versatility of the product. Every couple of weeks I have some very special young ladies come to my house and we usually spend the afternoon crafting. This month, when I pulled out my supplies they spotted the Memory Maze Stack-Ums and were quite excited to try something new. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">Isn't this a fun card?! I love the chickens and the country feel.

I kept checking my blog this morning, waiting for my post to come live, but then realized that I had forgotten to even schedule a post for today, hence the quick post, because I didn't plan on making a post!<br />
<br />
Thanks to another great sketch from <a href="http://sketchabilities.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Sketchabilities</a>, I have my second page for the wedding album done. This was such a versatile sketch and just perfect for the page I wanted to accompany the first.<br />

My brother and his wife were married at a heritage town so to using the vintage ribbons, buttons, and dictionary pages really helps to tie in the wedding theme to the pages a little.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also used my <a href="http://www.memorymaze.com.au/" target="_blank">Memory Maze</a> chipboard and heavily misted it with some Glimmer Mist. Love the texture it adds to the page! <br />

I would be lieing if I said the first thing that popped into my head when this challenge was announced wasn't 70's pop music, orange and tie dye, peace and hippies, and VW vans. That was way before my time, but I still have always associated "Flower Power" with the generation that my parents were teenagers in. But of course, since that wasn't my generation, my card has absolutley nothing to do with 70's Flower Power. It took a much more shabby turn.</div>

It has been a while since I crafted anything quite like this, but its a style I love and my pinterest boards are full of inspiration images that are more shabby and chic. I took the opportunity to create a girly card and pulled out my flowers and had a ball! <br />

With each sibling that has gotten married, I have added 4 pages to a scrapbook that I started for my Mom. Its been incredibly fun and rewarding project, and promises to be a long running book, as not even half my siblings are married, and the youngest is only 5. One thing I have very much enjoyed about this particular project is that it showcases my evolving style and scrapbooking growth, all in one book, and since it is my Mom's. Once I am done a page, regardless of whether I was fully satisfied with the results, I can't change anything.<br />

There were 4 weddings in the book, and I'm started on the 5th. This is the first page, and I'm sure I will be sharing more with you in the future, especially since there are some gorgeous sketches coming up with <a href="http://sketchabilities.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Sketchabilities</a> that I know will work perfectly for wedding pages.<br />

The chipboard was the perfect colour already to compliment the pink theme, so I simply added a layer of glitter glue over the entire surface, it absolutely sparkles! </div>

How much fun in this little vintage bike? I kept this card simple and tried to make the chipboard the hero hero, something that actually isn't very hard to do. Pairing it with October Afternoon paper made this a perfect duo.</div>

<i>I was framed, framed, I was blamed, framed</i><br />
<i>Well, I never knew nothin, but I always get framed</i><br />
<i>Oh, framed.</i><br />
<i> ~ <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIP369aJE_E">Framed</a>, sung by Ritchen Valens</i><br />
<br />
<br />
My Mom turned 50 this year and I knew that even though she is a huge fan of my cards, this year, that wasn't going to be enough. The older I become, especially now that I have a baby girl, the more I realize all the sacrifices my Mom has made and the love she has poured in my life. I wanted some thing a little more meaningful and lasting to say how much I love her.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8111/8529449801_25c1c13b84.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8111/8529449801_25c1c13b84.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So, I took this challenge quite literally and created a "framed" project. Quite conveniently we had a very recent photograph of the entire family from my brothers wedding and created a wall hanging based on Proverbs 31, specifically choosing the verse<i> "and her children shall rise up and call her blessed". </i><br />
<i><br /></i>

I knew right away that stars were going to len themselves perfectly for a baby boy card that was on my "to make" list. I love it when my commitments and my other to do lists coordinate so nicely! <br />

I'm excited to tell you that I'm now a designer for <a href="http://sketchabilities.blogspot.nl/" target="_blank">Sketchabilities</a>, along with a wonderful group of international ladies! So glad to get a change to work with Karan and her incredible sketches. I'm so excited to be on a scrapbooking team, and not just cardmaking, going to love the push to get on top of all those photos that need to be preserved. If you've never been to the blog, you need to check it out, Karan has some wonderful sketches to work with. <br />

I think it may be very apparent given the name of this blog, that we're very excited about Polkadots over here. So when Linda announced the theme for the current Catered Crop Recipe Swap was polkadots, there were no complaints here! I decided to make two cards for the swap because you can never have to many polkadots, right? :)<br />

Now that we are settled back into life after being gone for nearly 2 months, I'm finally finding time to sit down and get some crafting done. It feels so good! I used to be able to spend all day long at if it I wished, but now that Sofia is getting older, I'm finding that I am spending more evenings with my paper. She is so much fun that I have a hard time doing much else when she's up. We're busier than ever, but life is that much more fulfilling. I'm sure you all know what I mean!<br />
<br />
My very best friend also happen to be a very talented photographer (<a href="http://www.secondglanceimagery.com/" target="_blank">see her site here</a>) and came up in September to do family photos for us. I was thrilled with the result and so much fun turning the pictures into a layout.<br />
<br />

We're gearing up for some fantastic challenges in 2013, but before I share anything new with you Linda from Catered Crop had the great idea to showcase our favourite projects from the past year. Oh what fun! While looking back through my albums I found projects that I had completly forgotten that I had even made, and a few I wished that I could forget ... There's always some not so great mixed with the rest :)<br />
<br />
Without further adieu, in no particular order, here are some of my favorite projects from 2012. What are yours?<br />

I have two cards to share with you today, both of which are made from the Nantucket line, by Paper Paislee, though they're such different cards you'd hardly know they came from the same paper pack! I have been enjoying this line so much, its incredibly versatile and so easy to match other products from my stash too. <br />

Hello again! I am back with some more inspiration for you in this chilly October! Here in Canada we have just celebrated our thanksgiving and Autumn over. Winter is right around the corner! I cannot help but envy those of you in New Zealand, I understand the weather is getting colder for you, but warmer! I might just have to swing by there one of these winters to escape the snow and ice, and of course I would have to visit my favourite scrap booking store while I was at it! There are so many goodies there, I am not sure where I would start filling my basket, so its a good thing Adrienne gets to choose, and look at the gorgeous product she sent me to work with!<br />
<br />

<br />
The papers are from the Pink Paislee Nantucket line, such a versatile line and perfect for my little project. I paired it with some goodies from my stash, but mostly embellishments that were included in my DT kit. <br />

A few months back DYSU had a cool colours challenge, and now that fall is in full swing its time for a warm colours challenge! I built this card a little backwards, starting with the rooster and building the rest of the card around him.<br />

Its the beginning of a new month and that means it time for a new challenge at Scrappin Patch. With the arrival of my little girl, I took quite a few weeks off from my regular duties on my DT commitments, but I'm right back into the swing of things with this fun sketch!<br />

Another few weeks have flown by and I honestly can't tell you if I'm thrilled, or disappointing the Sofia seems to be growing just as quickly as time keeps passing. I'm pretty sure that at this rate she will be walking by the time she's 9 months old as she has already mastered sleeping through the night, smiling, holding her head up, and just generally falling into a routine and she's not even 6 weeks old. However, I'm not going to complain about any of these things, even though it means she's quickly leaving the newborn stage behind, though it does mean she's already not the itty bitty baby she once was.<br />
<br />
Oh the hardships of life :)<br />
<br />
Of course, with the passage of time that means its time for for another Catered Crop challenge! I had a lot of fun with this one (I always do!) : Know Now.<br />

The blog has been a little quite as of late, but for a very good reason. With a new baby girl to love, I've certainly spent a lot less time crafting and more time adjusting to our wonderful (albiet busy!) new life. I'm trying to get a little more consistent with some of my DT commitments especially, but its really hard when there's this cutey pie distracting me!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I did manage to create a card for this weeks Catered Crop Challenge : In the Pink, even with Miss Adorable looking on. When it comes to crafting, I'm not really a pink person, but with the fantastic kit that our sponsor, Lilly Belle's Paperie, it wasn't hard to create something for this challenge. <br />
<br />

"No Stress to Distress" was a perfect excuse to pull out the inks and just generally have fun with tearing and ripping and all around making things look a little more grungy, great fun!<br />

Just popping in quickly to share my card for <a href="http://www.doyoustackup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Do You Stack Up?'s</a> 85th challenge, Buttons! I kept it fairly simple with the buttons really being the only embellishments that the card needed in addition to a few layers of cardstock. We're off in a few days to BC for my little brother's wedding! Time moves so quickly. Last year at this time I was preparing for my own wedding and now here we are, parents and soon to celebrate our first anniversary ...<br />

I'm a big animal lover, not obsessive or anything, but I do love my having a score or so of furry beings around. I've joked in the past that if I had my way, I would open up a petting zoo as an excuse to have one of every kind of animal imaginable. Knowing my weakness, my husband has (wisely) set forth the rule that currently I'm only allowed to have animals if they serve a purpose. If he didn't, I think I would have bought out our local pet shop :)<br />
<br />
Our current challenge from <a href="http://www.doyoustackup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Do You Stack Up?</a> is to create a card inspired by, for, or with 4 legged animal friends. I was thrilled to be able to work with <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/" target="_blank">Bugaboo Stamps</a> for this challenge using thier adorable turtle digi image. He turned out to be exactly what my card for my 5 year old brother in law needed. I coloured him with pencil crayons and accented differant parts of the shell and hat with glitter, though its not coming through to well in the photos.<br />

I've never really gotten into the whole CAS thing when it comes to my paper crafting. It is definitely a look that I admire and appreciate, but I like "stuff" too much and can't seem to help piling it on my pages. However, when I saw this week's Recipe Swap over at the Catered Crop, I knew that it was a good time to try something a little bit different. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had these images pinned to my <a href="http://pinterest.com/sarahdh/diy-decor/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>board for quite a while. I love the simplicity of the white on white, and I am a huge fan of typographic art. Unfortunately, with 4 little kids in the house, white is not a color I use very frequently in my decor. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I've always thought that these canvases would translate very well as a card. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I was going to use Thickers (painted white) on a white
cardstock background to achieve the look I was going for, but I couldn't
find quite the right font in my stash. Then I remembered that, (thanks
to my wonderful husband) I<i> have a Silhouette Cameo!!! </i>and can
cut out any shape that I want. I simply created my graphic, mounted the words with foam adhesive for a bit of dimension and slipped a piece of ribbon in behind the words. I originally intended to keep the whole
card completely white, but it looked a little bit...boring... so I added
just a touch of purple cardstock. I finished it all off with a spray of glimmer mist, but I don't think that really shows up in the picture. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Its time for another Recipe Exchange over at <a href="http://www.cateredcrop.com/" target="_blank">Catered Crop</a> and let me tell you, this one was a challenge for me! White Pages, highlighting mainly well....the colour white. I'm not really a white person. I love color and patterns, textures, and basically anything besides just plain white. Case in point, there isn't a white wall in my house, every single wall is painted.<br />
<br />

<br />
But I persisted and in the end was able to to create something that I'm rather happy with. I wasn't able to stick quite entirely with just white, so I compromised, but kept it simple with the addition of kraft paper.<br />
