Hoppity Hop!



Sounds more like a title for an Easter blog post and not a St. Patty's day one ;) but I am participating in an American Crafts Blog Hop- hence the title! Hopefully you have had some fun working your way through all the amazing creations of the super talented AC DT blogs and learned a little about some of the Design Teams favorite products. One of the things I LOVE so much about AC products is the diversity of the line- there is something for everyone! And narrowing down a favorite product is next to impossible for me... So I thought I would showcase several of my favorite products on this layout!



Supplies: Patterned Paper: Peachy Keen/No Sweat (grey dot), Peachy Keen, Easy Peasy (yellow dot used on heart), Campy Trails/Big Pine Creek (orange dot strip), Campy Trails/ Sweetwater Cabin (striped strip) Thickers: Doll/Waterfall, Borders: Campy Trails, Elements: Buttons/Campy Trails, Buttons/Peachy Keen, Remarks Sticker Book: Peachy Keen/Super Swell, Sotheby's Stickers, Other: inks, Precision Pen .03.

First, the Peachy Keen and Campy Trails lines are two of my all time favorites! And I am a sucker for grey... and the No Sweat patterned paper that I used as the base for this layout I think I am going to need a few dozen pieces of to keep me stocked up!

Another new favorite are the small tear off strips on many of the patterned papers. Both the orange dot and stripes are the edge strips from pieces of paper- what a great way to use previously throw away real estate! And if you know my style of scrapping I CONSTANTLY use very small pieces of paper!

And, well most AC fans are fans of Thickers... the Doll Thickers are the latest addition to a line of amazing letters! The texture and font are just perfect!!!!

Oh- and I can't finish a layout without some AC buttons,Sotheby's stickers and some handwrittedn journaling using the Precision Pen .03 in black!

So- now it is your turn, leave me a comment and tell me your favorite AC product, new or old and I will let each of my boys pick a winner to receive an AC goody package from me! So that means 2 lucky winners! All comments on this post prior to 10 pm EST Monday March 21, 2011 will be eligible! And check back here on Tuesday March 22 to see who the winner is! Oh- and you must live in Continental US to win...

Don't stop your hopping here... hop over to the uber talented Susan Weinroth's blog at http://www.susanweinroth.typepad.com/ to see what she has in store for you!

    Great use of all the AC products! Love how you write the journaling TO your son.
    It's hars for me to pick a favorite AC product- Thickers are at the top of the list, but also there are my tried-and-true fine point Slick Writers. I've gone through who-knows-how-many black ones as well as many other colors. They really are the best for hand-journaling, I think.
