I’m so excited about the upcoming July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. There are 43 CTMH Consultants participating! Check back here on July 1st to what I’ve come up with using this darling new stamp set and then you can make the rounds by hopping from one blog to the next!
In order to make the hop run smoothly, I’m testing out links to Reba's Blog, she’ll be the one that you’ll jump to after mine. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with - I hope you'll hop with us!
I’ve always wanted to create one of the cute little albums that Stacey Julian made called Colorful You and I finally had the to opportunity to do it. I made something similar to show as a sample for a workshop proposal I am doing in July for the school district’s special education camp. I’m really excited for the opportunity to share my love of scrapbooking with them all.
I chose to use Close To My Heart’s new 3-Ring Binder w/5 dividers in it along with the Animal Cookies Level 1 Scrapbook Kit. I used instructions from Chris Green to cut the premade layouts into 5” x 7” pieces that fit perfectly over the dividers. I included a few accessories…White Daisy Ricrac Ribbon and Summer Craft Buttons with Sunflower Waxy Flax.
I created the title with My Stickease and My Acrylix Stamps. I love how it turned out.
For the workshop I will be teaching, I will be printing off a title for the front and some quotes about friendship to insert inside along with some pictures of the students through out their week at camp. I thought it best not to do any stamping as the skill level will be varied and it would be quite time consuming with so many students.
Here is a view of the inside…
I will share more soon when I get my sample back and I have the chance to add my own pictures to this project.
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

No Surrender
When you believe in yourself, in your personal potential, in your own future,
you have no choice - surrender is not an option. There's nothing to do but continue.
Sometimes you want to give up, but you can't - something deep inside you won't let you.
No white flags, no bailing out, no throwing in the towel for you.
You have to keep going; you must carry on; you just take the next step...and the next...and the next...

I’ve had so much fun with this new Workshop on the Go using the new Tinkerin’ Level 2 Paper Packet, My Stickease and Badge Buttons.
I’ve completed 4 of the 6 layouts with pictures and journaling. I love that I can accomplish so much more in a shorter amount of time by using CTMH’s Workshop on the Go brochures with our amazing Level 2 Paper Packets, My Stickease, My Acrylix Stamps and Accessories.
The below layout features my son when he was just 2 years old…he’s now fourteen! I gathered several photos from 1997 of him hanging out with his dad, grandfathers and uncle.
I LOVE how easy this layout was…no stamping involved…just paper, stickease, a badge button and mini brads.
Oh, see how cute the Clover Meadow cardstock is scalloped…
So bright and cheery…
The ‘Gear Up for Fun’ layout below is considered a Level 3 layout because I stamped on it. There is some random stamping directly on the Clover Meadow B&T Duos (see the large solid circles) then I stamped the title using CTMH’s new Field Trip Alphabet stamp set. There are also a few random stamps using the Gear Up stamp set.
I was so excited when I came across these pictures to scrap…Shaymus’ collection of Power Rangers…brings back so many fun memories of him. He used to run and jump and yell just like they do in the show…LOL! He was even a Power Ranger several times for Halloween. Here he is 3 years old…way back in 1998.
Isn’t that little robot the cutest thing!?!
Notice the buttons…the ‘thread’ is very thin strips of B&T Duos threaded thru them and adhered to the page with Glue Dots along with another badge button.
I’ll be teaching how to make these layouts plus two additional layouts the month of June.
If you’d like to create them yourself just let me know and I can put a kit together for you to create all six layouts for just $30 plus shipping/handling.
Have a great day and make it from your heart,
