Balloon Ride Blog Hop


With CTMH  (and most home based businesses) we have a hierarchy of "uplines" aka "those who joined the company as an independent consultant before you did!" I feel this hierarchy has some perks and for me one of these perks is that I am part of a bigger team of consultants here in BC.  This team is called the Greenhearts and it is under a wonderful lady named Pam, who really has been a great source of help and knowledge.  Recently the Greenhearts have started a monthly blog hop and this month I finally get to play along (too many other commitments the past few months to join in).  We are still a small hop but I hope you take a moment to not only check out my creation but that of the others as well.

This months hop is featuring the beautiful Balloon Ride Paper Packet and the first time I saw this paper I knew I wanted to do a layout using this cute little black and white photo of my mom and me from when I was about a year old.  

Product I used for this project:
- Balloon Ride Paper Packet
- Balloon Ride Complements 
- Balloon Ride Assortment
- Cricut Artbooking for the pretty bow frame
- Cricut Artiste for the lacy "doily" that is behind the flowers, etc.
- Chocolate Distressing Ink
- Sparkle Flourishes
and a few random flowers and bits of lace from my stash!

I was going to include some journaling on this layout but it just didn't work,  I will probably make this into a two page layout in the future but right now I am loving how this came together and it was wonderful to make a full page after all the cards I have done over the past few months.

My apologies on the pictures, my camera ran out of battery as I was taking the last one.  Once it has recharged I will try retaking these photos tomorrow  and see if I cannot get the lighting more even and the layout straight!
 
Thanks for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.  Here are the links to the other bloggers on the hop.  Enjoy!


Happy Crafting!

Lest we forget

This time of year is super busy for me helping my crafty friends prepare for Christmas but I wanted to take the time to properly give my respects to Remembrance Day.  Like many Canadians, my grandfathers and great-grandfather's fought in the World Wars.  Their sacrifices and the sacrifices that those "left behind at home" made helped ensure the Canadian peace and lifestyle we can so easily take for granted on a regular day.  So at this time of year, we remember and we say Thank You.
