This month the Club Scrap kit is called
~ National Parks~
and I hope you came over here from
and enjoyed seeing her wonderful project for this hop.
Now you won't believe me saying this: but this kit
was not for me, no feeling with parks at all.
As you know paper has two sides and I do love
the colors of this kit These colors are perfect for:
coffee cards!
so I got out my coffee stencil and stamps from
Wat's Brewing to make this card.
The background is layers made with the stencil
and the burlapthat came with this kit is a
perfect embellishment.
Also the colors of this kit are great for my Italy
pictures. I took the ALSB instructions and
used layout 13&14
You find these free instructions HERE.
As you turn the pages all of them have a plain color.
That makes a boring page,so out come the stencils!
With the adobe stencil and some acrylic paint
( antique linnen) I decorated the paper.
And for the kraft colored paper I used the stencil
fromCape Cod , ink and a blender tool.
If you loose your way along the hop,
you can always go back to the main page on the
Club Scrap Blog, where you find all
the links tothe blogs that participate.
Now for the next blog, you can see what
has come up with for you.
Happy Hopping!
Have a creative day!
