Welcome to the Craft Stamper blog hop.

Welcome if you've just arrived here from Hels blog.  If not and you're here for the first time, you really need to start at the beginning on the Craft Stamper blog and hop through all the inspiring work from the team whilst collecting letters. I've been with the Craft Stamper and Scrap 365 design teams for a little over a year now and I absolutely love it. It's a wonderfully talented team who constantly keep me on my toes.

The theme for the hop is 2012 Favourites and although it was a hard one to try and pick one favourite thing from last year, there was one event which really stood out for me.

I attended my first weekend retreat at Scrapbook Werkstatt in Germany taking classes by Amy Tangerine and Donna Downey to name but two but the project which gave me the most satisfaction was a mixed media mini album (everything I love) workshop by Felicitas Mayer-Klink and Janna Werner.  I loved putting it together

Here's my mini in all it's inky, painty, stampy goodness....

I do hope you don't get bored with all these pictures. The cover is a piece of cotton calico, painted with acrylic paint to give it ridgidity so I could stamp the Tim Holtz frame stamp onto it with a Stazon ink pad.  I could then also add papers and letter and still add fancy stitching on the machine.  The butterfly stamps are by My Stamp Box and are being offered as a prize here on my blog.

That little butterfly there has been stamped on some cotton and sandwiched in between two pieces of netting along with a few sequins. It makes a cute page. 

                       

 The book is made up from paper bags, tags, card and scrap papers all sprayed, inked or painted on  with journaling stamps also by My Stamp Box.

Now I know you'll be itching to move on so firstly the letter you'll be collecting from me is G.

My spot prize is a stamp set from My Stamp Box which I've used in my mini throughout worth $15.99!

 To be in with a chance of winning simply leave a comment on this blog post by midnight on Friday 8th February 2013. The winner will be drawn at random week commencing Mon 11th February

Now you can go to the next blog on the hop which is the very talented Sara Naumann

Happy Hopping
