The Extended Story by Story by Stacey uses a combination of sizes of layouts to add dimension and to tell the story with your pictures.  This is just a sampling of the layouts but there are a few more pages as well.   This is a great design to tell the story of your time in the outdoors.

I hope you will plan to join me for one of these super cute workshops. I have no doubt you will love them.

Now on to this months Stamp of the Month - Strong Roots. 

 

The watercolor bug has bitten and as soon as I saw this stamp set I knew I was going to get to play. I grabbed my basic supplies and then a few extras:

Of course: 

• White Cards & Envelope Value Pack X254
• Strong Roots Stamp Set S2107 
• Watercolor Paints Z3132 
• Small Round Waterbrush Z3224 

And then I saw some new items from our July-August Catalog that I knew would complement this stamp set so well:

• July-August Mix-In Paper Pack X9030
• Stitched Scallop Bracket Thin Cuts Z3688   
• Wander-Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts Z3959 for the pond with Glacier Cardstock
• New Isabella Cricut collection for the leaves 
• Espresso Ink and Cardstock and New England Ivy Cardstock

Here is my creation:

I feel like this would be a great Grandparents Day card which is coming up September 12th, Father's Day or birthday card. I tried to keep it fairly simple with not much embellishment so it wouldn't overwhelm the men in my life - you know how they are with glitter; it's like cooties to them - haha!

The watercolor made this stamp set feel so tranquil and soft.  Have you played with our watercolors yet?  The Close to My Heart home office did a whole series on YouTube showing different watercoloring techniques.  You can check them out here.

Now hop on over to Lauren's CTMH Craftings for more artwork using this rustic and heritage inspired stamp set. 

 Happy Scrappin'!

Is that White Pines I see?

I don't know about you but for me Christmas always seems so far away until it isn't and then I am  scrambling to get it all done. I am excited to announce that CTMH had decided to give us a hand this year in getting ahead of the Christmas craziness by bringing back one of my favorite Christmas paper sets in July. White Pines papers are back and have been updated to coordinate perfectly with our currecnt CTMH colors and now includeds a fun and unique sticker sheet that coordinates with the Paper Pack too.

 To help us get prepared for the coming Christmas season, they are offering two different workshops - one scrapbooking 

 

and one card-making.

If you had the chance to play with these papers in the past, you know just how beautiful they are.  They also brought back the coordinating stamp sets so no need to buy those a 2nd time if you already have them. 

If you've never played with this paper before and you want all the things, CTMH has created a special bundle just for you:

Keep an eye out on my Facebook page - Scrappin with Heather Hicks over the month as I show you some things I created in the past with the White Pine's Papers and make sure to grab yours while you can. This special is only available from July 1 - August 31 OR until supplies last.  

Happy Scrappin'
