Hip Hop Thursday SMAKdown!

It seems I may sound like a broken record, but I love me some SMAK stamps!  I am strictly a scrapbooker and I am here to testify that you can use these stamps over and over again on all sorts of layouts and project life pages.  Over. And. Over. Again.  Seriously.  It's a great investment.  Plus you don't have to shop around or leave your house.  it just comes automatically to you mailbox each and EVERY month! You just can't beat that with a stick, now can you?! 
Here is a peek at this month's(June 2-14) kit:

Because I like to mix and match my smack kits, I also included stamps from the January SMAk kit, December 2013 SMAK kit,  and March SMAK kit as well.  The circles in the bottom right  came from the Layers of Life.   

Pattern Paper used for both layouts:  The Paper Studio

Have a super, scrappy day! :)

happy birthday hip hop!

he-ey!  wut up, buttercups?!  i am about to lose it on blogger!  i can not even upload my pics to my blog without jumping thru hoops and copy and pasting and all sorts of annoying stuff.  wth?!  if anyone has any suggestions for how to fix this irritation, i would REALLY appreciate it!

meanwhile, back at the ranch....

Poppin' and Lockin' with HELMAR!

 


Unfortuante for me (and probably my family, my first grade students, my friends, the world...), i have no significant dance skills. My self-esteem does not suffer because I shine in so many other areas (wink and smile :), but, MAN!...I sure would like to have mad skills on the dance floor. To be able to POP AND LOCK while BREAKDANCING would be fantastic. 
 
The point of my story here in the blog is this: Helmar is not just an awesome adhesive, it has given me the life long dream of being able to POP and LOCK...only on paper. Fan-freakin-tastic!

You do not believe me? See here: 
 
There is this amazing product called ZAPDOTS and if you are looking for a little POP off your page (or project) and LOCK (with super strong sticking power) like I was, look no further.
I am pretty particular about my scrapbook pages and I don't like things to get too bulky. ZAPDOTS are perfect for me because they are just the right size/height. However, if you want even more POP, you can stack them on top of one another. Fancy.

I used ZAPDOTS on this page because I wanted the ball to POP.




I liked the effect so much that I got all sorts of crazy and used them on another sports page. Check it:


Super cool, I know. So I leave you with this: If you are looking for a little POP AND LOCK for your crafty projects, check out ZAPDOTS !!
