Eyes Wide Open Arts

and inspiration as the Design Teams of Clique Kits and Precious Remembrance Shops

team up to bring you a collabo of the August CK Scrapbook Kit and

the newly released PRS Totally Stamp Set!

If you're following along in the blog hop, you should have arrived here 

from the lovely and talented Judy Marino.

It's my first time receiving a scrapbook kit from CK and I was like a kid at Christmas. 

I absolutely cannot stress enough how much crafty goodness comes in these CK kits! 

I'm sharing two projects today, but there are lots more spinning in my head 

with all of the supplies I still have leftover. And believe me when I say the Totally

Stamp Set is a fab set to pair with almost any project--keep scrolling :)

My first project is a scrapbook page. This is my "mommie & me" on 

our first trip to Paris. She's so awesome...so is Paris :)

I'm swooning over all these touches of gold!

  I stamped the "me/you/us" from the stamp set and circled the "us" using a gold glitter pen

and a hot pink Sharpie--these stamps work with everything!

Look how awesome that sentiment came out all embossed in hot pink embossing powder.

I adore these bold sentiments!

My second project is a 5"x7" mat board canvas. This is my "baby brother".

And yeah, well, he's totally stinking awesome.

And how awesome is it that Clique Kits and Precious Remembrance Stamps are both giving away a prize?? CK is offering a $20.00 gift certificate to their shop and PRS is gifting the Totally Stamp Set. Winners will be chosen by comments left on the blogs, so be sure to show us some love. If you missed the start of the hop, check out the line up below.

Ok, time to make a confession...I'm a total nerd! I love to find out of the box ways to interpret every creative prompt provided by the challenge blogs. This week's Addicted to CAS challenge was code word: dimension. Hmmm. I thought about the galaxy, I thought about dimensional foam to add depth, then I was struck by last month's Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015. Yes, yes, and yes! This Penny Black "Berry Merry Christmas" stamp worked wonders.

My card...and my entry for their design team too (fingers crossed)...couldn't have come out better. My photography skills were stretched a little bit too lol.

I bet you're asking about the dimension, aren't you?? Look what a very cool technique created!

Flashback---> I was a freshman in high school and it was a Saturday morning while I was watching cartoons (don't judge me), I noticed a trail of ants from the back patio door leading next to the sofa on which I was relaxing. I jumped up and ran to wake up my younger brother to tell him he had to come get rid of them! I was terrified!

Now, I'm eye to eye with a dragonfly!
