Hello friends, and welcome to the last blog hop for the 2014-2015 Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team. I decided since this is our very last blog hop together as a team, that I’d scrapbook the picture that signifies the beginning of the Artisan Design Team journey for me.
I’ve used so many of my favourite supplies on this scrapbook page, because I really wanted it to represent me. Some of those special touches are watercolouring, embossing, sponging, and bits of silver. Here’s a few close ups:
This week we are using the Sparkly Seasons Bundle, and although it’s super cute with images for fall and Christmas, I chose to just use the large chevron circle stamp and the ‘grateful’ thinlit for my scrapbook page.
To create the chevron circle, first stamp and emboss the image using Clear Embossing Powder on Watercolour Paper. Then use the inks of your choice and an Aqua Painter to create an ombre effect.
I LOVE the colour pink, so it’s only fitting to have this large pink flower on this scrapbook page dedicated about me. To create a flower of your own, just punch some flowers using a variety of flower punches (the ones I used are linked at the bottom of this post) and then stack them together for a nice, big, full flower.
I am so thankful and grateful to have been given the opportunity to represent Stampin’ Up! as a member of the Artisan Design Team. Not only that, but the ladies on this team have become lifelong friends, and I am so thankful to have had this time with them.
The 2014-2015 Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team has set up a global Treasure Hunt as a little thanks to you for following our adventures. Do keep in touch!
Here’s how to play:
1) Collect the names of 12 Stampin’ Up! products by clicking through our blog hop this week.
2) Fill out the entry form below.
Please note: One winner will be drawn per Artisan according to their geographical location. Entries close Wednesday, November 4th, 2015 @ 9pm (Eastern Time).

This page is so happy Allison. It truly makes my heart sing. Not only because of the fun bright colours and layout but because I've had the privilege of getting to know that lovely lady in the photo and that day was special for me too – the beginning of our friendship. xoxoxo
