Planners Gonna Plan ~> Planner Bundle Offer ending soon!

So I wanted to share what I've been doing in my CTMH Planner this month so far. Using the NEW Charlotte paper pack (which matches the 2016 Planner) coming available January 1st, 2016 I did some Planner Creating!

Using the New Charlotte Paper Pack, Item number X7205B I created a planner dashboard that matches my CTMH 2016 Planner. I even have a shaker element in it. You can see the whole thing on the Katch.me/NinasArtSpot.com video below. A planner dashboard is usually something you have in your planner with your Year's theme and holds post it notes and other inserts you will use through out the year. 

Front of Dashboard complete with my Years Theme.

The Theme "Don't Quit your Day Dream" is actually a Picture My Life card!

This is the backside. 

         You can see my pockets with the shaker behind them and the post it notes. Cute stickers were given to me by Deborah @                                                      blushandlipstick, she's on Facebook, twitter and periscope too!

Here I'm 3 hold punching the dashboard after its been made to fit the monthly tab sheets

December Stamp of the Month, Candlelight Garden S1512

When I first saw this stamp set I immediately fell in love with it. I host our monthly Close to my Heart Team, Acrylix Chix's monthly stamp of the month swaps and I really thought everyone would love this. It seemed that most everyone was a bit intimidated by this outline set....or maybe everyone was so focused on Winter and the holidays it was hard to get into the mood to create with a spring themed set. However, I was pleasantly surprised with what they all created. I'm happy to show you those submissions plus other samples I've found using this awesome and versatile stamp set.

and here are some other great pieces for you to view

I hope this inspires you as much as it did me!

The Stamp of the Month is available for one month only, for just $5—that’s over 70% off retail! When you place an order of $50 or more in Close To My Heart products, you qualify for this special Stamp of the Month pricing or purchase it at full price for $17.95.

Glazing Technique Tutorial

This is a fairly simple technique that really adds depth and pop to your stamped outline images. I'm using the new December Stamp of the Month, S1512 Candlelight Garden.

Here is a full supply list:
*Water in a spray bottle
*Any stamp pad or re-inker
*Water brush
*Glazing medium
*Stamped outline images
*Acrylic Block
*Baby Wipe

Step 1: dab a bit of your ink pad or re-inker ink onto the acrylic block and pour a small dab of glazing medium on top of it. Using your waterbrush mix the two. If it dries while your using it spitz with a bit of the water from the spray bottle.

 Step 2: "Color" in your stamped images. You can use darker inked areas to show highlights adding depth and dimension to your images. Clean up is a breeze...just wipe off your waterbrush onto a baby wipe until it shows clean.
