Altenew: A Year in Review Blog Hop and GIveaway


Hi there!
Welcome to the end of the Altenew: A Year in Review Blog Hop and Giveaway.  I am so glad you are here, and must have just arrived from Erum's blog.

I have been an admirer and collector of Altenew products for the past few years, but I was lucky to have been invited as a Guest Designer a few months ago, and have since then participated in a few monthly blog hops.  It then comes at no surprised that i love working with the Altenew products, but also building  a relationship with all the lovely people behind the scenes.  Throoughout the past few months, i have created some of my most favorite projects to date, and here are my top 4 for the year:




For my first project, i chose the "Hello Beautiful" layout that was created for my guest post in the Altenew Scrapbook blog



I chose to highlight one of my favorite stamps, Leaf Canopy,  by creating some mixed media using the Altenew Crisp inks, and then combined the Dream Big stamp and die set, mini Hello Stamp set and the beautiful Reflections Scrapbook collection in this page.


My next favorite project was created for the  Altenew October Release Blog Hop, using the new Layered Floral Elements Die set and stamp.



I love the simple design of the layout that brings forward all the detailed work that the flowers presents.   This page was a labor of love made simple with the Altenew products.


One of my most favorite projects has to be the card created for the Altenew Stencil and Spray Inks Release Blog hop in November.




This card was created using the Floral Mandalla Stencil, the Altenew new Metallic Inks sprays  (Cosmic Berry, Sunkissed), the Leaf Canopy stamp set, Always There stamp set, and the Playful Blooms Stamp set.  The color of the inks creates the perfect background for the cluster of florals.   I think it represents my style in a small format.


Lastly, and probably one of my favorite projects of the year is the You Are Perfectly Perfect layout created for the Altenew Markers and Embellishment release blog hop in December.




This page is filled with Altenew products,  the Wavy Grid stencil in the Background, the Fine Rectangular Frames die, the Reflections Collection, the Perfectly Perfect stamp set, the Alcohol Markers (set E), and the Sunkissed Ink Spray, together they create the perfect setting for the picture of my daughter.    So in love with all the Altenew products!!
