Doin' the Dimensional Hop!

That's right! It's time for another Rose Blossoms Team Blog Hop! This time around we're doin' the "Dimensional Hop" for fun, inspiration, and a chance for you to win a great little prize package! The projects created for this hop were all made with one or both of Close To My Heart's Cricut cartridges, Art Philosophy and the new Artiste.

We like to keep it simple so here's three easy-peasy steps to maximizing your chances of winning the prizes we have up for grabs this weekend:

1. In order to be eligible for the prize Brenda is offering on her blog, you must comment on each blog and become a follower of each blog. 

2. Bonus! You will earn an extra ticket in the drawing if you post our hop on your blog!

3. Double Bonus! I'm giving away Jeanette Lynton's latest how-to book "Make It From Your Heart".
Leave a comment, become a follower, and bam! you're entered!  I'll draw a random winner on Monday Aug 27th!

This is a "must have" for every scrapper or card maker!
Beautiful photography, well-written and easy to understand instructions!
I look forward to giving this away to one lucky winner on Monday morning!

Here's my dimensional contribution to the hop:


My very favorite feature on the new Artiste cartridge is the ability to create perfectly cut and simply adorable mini albums. Choose your favorite card stock, a stamp set, some embellies, and have at it! This mini album was cut at 3" utilizing the "L" keypad button. The cover and pages were cut quickly and easily leaving me more time to let loose with stamps and ink.

 

 

These are just a few of the pages. There's plenty of room for photos, notes, and memorabilia. Creating little pockets with secret message tags is a great way to add more room for journaling. They're also a nice way to personalize a mini album when you're gifting it. 

Just in case you're wondering .... the cover cardstock is the new, and oh so lovely Ruby. I used the bicycle stamp from the National Stamping Month set "It's Your Day" and Ruby ink to create the tone-on-tone pattern you see. It's fun and easy to create custom paper using stamps and ink ... if you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot!
