SCRAPBOOK STEALS BLOG HOP! {& Giveaway}



Welcome to The Scrapbook Steals June Blog Hop!

I am so excited to be part of the fun and to have the chance to not only meet some brilliant and crazy talented Scrappy Sisters but, to also to work with a fun new product! I must admit that when I heard we would be working with American Crafts Glitter Tape I was terrified! I am not a glittery kind of girl! But, once I started working with it I was hooked and was out buying more colours to play with. And I will be first in line to purchase still more from Scrapbook Steals! They are the best place ever to purchase a variety of scrapbooking products.

If you have come from Miriam Pranter's Blog you are on the right track. If not, please head on over to the Scrapbook Steals Blog and start at the beginning.

7.Cathryn Hanson - That's Me!



My Projects & Giveaways

When I opened my package from Scrapbook Steals the first thing I thought was Halloween! There was black, bright green, purple, orange and a pink! So I decided to do a Halloween layout, a door sign, a candy box, and a picture frame.












Another thing that came to mind and I'm not sure why, was a Rubik's Cube! Strange I know......but the Glitter Tape was the perfect size. So I made a couple photo Rubik's Cubes, a Halloween one and an Oilers Hockey themed one.









Lastly I made a few cards using border punches with the 
Glitter Tape peeking behind. 
The tape is the perfect touch! 






So now I am officially a "Glitter Girl"!
Thank you American Crafts & Scrapbook Steals for getting me hooked!
