Here we go! I’m thrilled to share with you one of my Extravaganza submissions that I will be mailing off tomorrow to CTMH! I have been working on this project for several days and I’m really excited how it turned out.

If I had the time to scrapbook like this all the time…I DEFINITELY would! I love putting a lot into the details, but we all know that it just isn’t feasible all the time.

I incorporated a variety of products and techniques into this layout…such as, ink destressing, sanding, ink spritzing, Cricut Art Philosophy shapes, paper flowers, stamping, My Stickease & hand-stitching.

That’s it for now…I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Well, that’s all I have to share until I get it all done and shipped out tomorrow!

Happy Presidents Day–Mojo Monday #229 Meets Up with CTMH Superhero

WOW! Where did the last week go!?!

I thought I’d drop in to wish you a Happy Presidents Day and share with you a quick card I made in honor of this special day.

I caught a glimpse of the Mojo Monday sketch for this week and the idea popped into my little brain to combine it with CTMH’s new Superhero Workshops on the Go Kit. I love the My Acrylix Stamp Set in this kit!

Superhero Workshops on the Go Kit – Only $29.95

Below is the Mojo Monday sketch that I used…

I hope you’ve enjoyed this quick little message & creation!

Simple Saturday Project–Post It Note Holder using CTMH Stella

I created this cute little post-it note holder a few days ago using my Cricut Expressions 2 along with my exclusive CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. It was super easy to do!

To create this project, select the ‘Card’ feature on the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge and cut one 3-1/2” <Shape2> featured on pg 33 of the cartridge booklet. I measured the width of my post-it note and scored the center of the card on both sides of the center point. The flower was cut at 2-3/4” using  <Flower3> featured on pg 57 of the cartridge booklet.

Adhere your post-it notes to the inside back cover and decorate the front cover as desired. I used the Stella Level 2 Paper Packet along with the ‘Just for You’ My Acrylix stamp set and the Pewter Badge Buttons. Use some 3D foam squares to add dimension to your flower.

I hope you enjoyed this simple Saturday project!

‘I Live for These Moments’…

I finally found all the photos I wanted to use on one of my Stella scrapbook layouts and finished it up tonight WITH journaling! Alright, the journaling only involved Bevyn’s name and the dates for the photos…since I used photos to show how much she has changed over the last 5 years. Isn’t she just the cutest!?!

The focal point photo was just taken a few days ago…and it helped because she was only half dressed…as usual!

I was thrilled when I found the one photo with her wearing the same color of the little birdie and then the swing had a coordinating green that was in the paper. So, I then picked the rest of the photos to complement the paper…it really helps when she is half-naked!

So, there is my 1st completed layout of 2012!

Until next time, be blessed!
