Artbooking Workshop

9:06 AM

Recently I held a workshop using the CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge to create a layout for each of the 4 seasons.

The first layout is Spring Bloom, using Sophia papers.

The second layout is Endless Summer, with Footloose papers.

The next layout is Autumn Harvest, using Olivia papers.

The final layout for winter is Snow, featuring Frosted papers.

The ladies who attended did a fantastic job assembling these layouts and adding their own creative touches!

I love to create cards and gifts for all the special people in my life. I love the whole process of designing something with the recipient in mind! So I wanted to share my latest layout which I made with a very special baby girl in mind. Our nephew/godson and his wife just had their first child and I plan to put this layout in a white frame and send to them.

I'm sure it will be hard to pick just one photo of their little bundle of joy!!

Snowhaven

11:39 AM

My first projects with product from the new Annual Inspirations use the Snowhaven paper packet.

This first card is a very non-traditional use of the papers! It was also fun using the Dots embossing folder for the background! It features the scooter from the Make It Merry stamp set.

This next design is a gift card holder cut from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge. The second photo shows the inside and I placed my business card where the gift card would go:)

The final card uses the Best Christmas stamp set. It's a more traditional card. I added our new silver sequins for a little fun accent.

Picture My Life Scrapbooking Program

2:44 PM

It has taken me a bit to get into this new scrapbooking format, but after seeing all the amazing projects at convention, I am truly excited about Close To My Heart's Picture My Life Scrapbooking programs!

There are so many great collections that coordinate with some of my favorite paper packs! It is a great addition to make scrapbooking faster, simpler, & easier!

Here are some layouts I created using the Later Sk8r Picture My Life kit and the pocket pages for some of our son's senior photos.

This next layout is a traditional 12 x 12 page using a Surf's Up Picture My Life card for the journaling.

I'll be posting more ideas using Picture My Life products this week!
