Blog Hop with Scrapbooking From the Inside Out... Intention

It's blog hop time!  To celebrate this month's kit, Intention, we are sharing a layout from this month's kit that features our One Little Word for this year. One Little Word: Do you set an intention for the year, using the one little word concept or perhaps by making New Years resolutions? My word is CREATE and I "created" this layout with my intention to create a more healthful life, create more family time, create comfort and peace, create time for myself...

 

 Each year I pick a word, but I don't usually get very far exploring that word (or at least documenting it).  I lose interest after a month.  I am really going to try to stick with this word because it means so much to me.  I want to CREATE more opportunities for making art.  It applies to so much in my life.  I really am trying to create more healthy choices, family memories, and a more loving home.  I hope that it will stick with me this year.  This word just resonated with me right away.  I knew it was perfect for 2014!

Now, go forth and visit the other blogs listed below and leave comments for more chances to win an awesome prize!  SFTIO owner, Rachel is giving away a lovely eco-friendly SFTIO tote bag with artsy surprises inside.

Empathy

I am so honored to be asked back to the Scrapbooking From The Inside Out design team again!  The first kit that I get to work with is January's Empathy kit!  It's full of gorgeous goodness!

I created five layouts with this kit this month!  I still have product left and might even create a few more before January is out... Here is the link to my first blog post detailing this layout:

Cha Cha Chipboard

This post is full of my projects in which I have used chipboard.  There is a certain company that I'd love to see what I can do with their chipboard...  hint, hint...

I was on the Basically Bare DT and used the chipboard banner pieces to make a balloon basket.  I love finding unusual ways to incorporate it into altered projects!

Love those gears and dressforms... Steampunk has a place in my heart!

This Nicho is completely made of chipboard and paper!  Chipboard frame, chipboard accents, and chipboard backing. The tiles are chipboard waste covered with embossing powder!

Shaped chipboard is a favorite as a design element or with themes!

Doors

Windows

Stamping on bare chipboard looks fabulous in my opinion!

Chipboard waste is never wasted with me!  I love the negative space as well as the positive space.

Little chipboard elements like the birdy and tree branch are worked into a cardboard backing piece.

A chipboard frame covered with WOW embossing powder and stamped into.

Another page with chipboard covered with embossing powder and stamped into the warm powders.

I hope that you enjoyed the different ways to use chipboard in your work... I also love using them as masks with sprays!  Thanks for checking my blog out!
