Hello and welcome aboard our Life’s a Hoot Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

Today I would like to share with you a couple of creations which feature Close To My Heart’s March Featured collection – Life’s a Hoot. Firstly a scrapbook layout. I love “scraplifting” layouts that I see and using them to create my own version of something I saw somewhere. This time I’ve scraplifted a layout from the CTMH current Seasonal Expressions Catalogue.

This was using the Life’s a Hoot paper pack with stickers, Grape Exclusive Inks for inking the edges of some of the papers, a mix of different coloured CTMH enamel Dots, I stamped with the S2303E Precious Moments stamp of the month in Intense Black Ink, I coloured the stamped animals using a variety od Shimmer Brushes. For the heading is used the Woodgrain Alphabet Chipboard letters, that I inked up with some purple Distress Oxides ink.

The second project is a card that I used the beautiful owl from the set Z4681 LIfe’s a Hoot Scrapbooking stamp and thin cut set. I used just the tail stamped 7 times and fussy cut to create the petals of the flower and his tummy to be the centre of the flower. I coloured with some tri-blend markers. The final touch was a splattering of the White and Gilt gloss sprays.
