Hi there!
Are you ready?! I have something super-special for you today. And I'm so excited I can't stand it! Welcome,everyone, to the the 2012 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop!
I always love it when I can promote my favorite companies especially when I can combine them with my love for BasicGrey and today I get to do just that! The awesome folks at Hero Arts generously sent me a few of their 2012 Catalog releases and they are gorgeous!
For the below layout, you *might* be able to tell that I tried to channel my inner Stephanie Dagan (*tried* being the operative word!). I've always been a huge fan of both hers and Susan Weinroth's and the way they are able to include so much eye candy within a clean and linear style. I'm not sure I got there, but it's so much fun to play around with a different style every now and then. :)
The CL570 This is Big clear stamps ended up being just perfect for this layout about my son making his first Honor Roll! As I'm still a bit too nervous to stamp directly onto a project, I first stamped onto my chosen papers before I then punched or cut out the design. For "Whoo Hoo" I stamped with clear Versamark ink, then embossed it with white Zing! When I was done, it was just a tad *too* white for the page's creamy colors so I took some brown chalk ink and rubbed it over it just a bit to tone it down. The other stamps in this set that I used are the "This is BIG", "WOW" and "You can do it!" What a great collection, right?!
Supplies: Hero Arts Stamps CL570 THIS IS BIG; BasicGrey OXFORD papers, Element stickers, alpha stickers, glazed brads; chipboard elements; American Crafts ZING! Embossing Powder and ink; Versamark ink.
Here's a few close-ups of these amazing stamps....

I love incorporating stamping into my layouts because you can match and personalize so easily. Stamping is fun, fun, fun!
such a cute layout!!!
Great use of the stamps on a layout!
This is a beautiful LO, I am always so impressed at how people use stamps on scrapbook pages! This is no exception! My fave thing about stamping is probably just the creative aspect of starting with only a single piece of paper and turning it into something lovely.. Love to color too, takes me back ;)
I love stamping because it allows you to make patterns on paper you otherwise might not find in pre printed paper. I love Basic Grey because of it's fantastic color combos. Hero Arts is great because their selection of rubber stamps is so wide you can find something for any project.
Very cute page love the tag pocket :) thx for sharing!
Love your page, great stamps to commemorate the day! I like HA stamps because of their simplicity, I can use them with lots of other stamps too.
