Have you had a look at the beautiful pages in this month's CTMH special promotion?  Click here for details.  The soft orange, blue and yellow tones and subtle prints work so well for cards and pages.  I was surprised just how far this pack of papers and stickers will stretch.  I've created a double page layout and 2 cards and I've only used about half the pack.  Check back tomorrow to see the cards.  Today I'm sharing the pages I made.

Seaside Ink Free page

sept-2-pages-page-007
I have a friend who has a birthday on Anzac Day - how lucky her friends are never working on her birthday!  We joined her family to celebrate the occasion with a twilight sail.  It was a perfect Perth evening and such a happy time.  How fortuitous that Close To My Heart has the Seaside papers (X7192b) and Complements stickers (X7192c)!   They were perfect for my photos.

Twilight Sail

I based this layout on the Clean Dimension layout on pages 102-103 of the Cherish How To Book (9038)  I love how easy it is to c…

Brushed Papers - Using overlays

sept-2-pages-page-007

I have thoroughly enjoyed using the Brushed Workshop on the Go Kit and only had a few odds and ends left over but I had one more layout I wanted to create for my overlays workshop.  I'm happy with the way it turned out.



SOTM - Page 004


The overlay is cut using the Artbooking Cartridge on the Cricut.  I set mine at 5" high which made each vertical band 1 1/4" wide.  Simply cut strips of patterned paper to add interest behind the overlay.

Brushed WOTG Layout

sept-2-pages-page-007
Mike and I travelled to England in July to attend the wedding of 2 special friends.  We had such fun!  One of the most amusing parts of the reception was the photo booth.  The beautiful bride, Shonny, sent us some prints taken in the photo booth which I love.  I thought this layout  was the perfect home for these photos.

This layout is copied straight from the Brushed Workshop on the Go instruction sheet.  It came together quickly.  A Cricut overlay was used as a template for sponging - isn't tha…

Brushed Overlay Page

sept-2-pages-page-007
I love my Cricut machine!  I'm not sure how I scrapbooked without it.  Today's layout features an overlay cut from the Artbooking cartridge.  You'll find it on page 64 of the Artbooking booklet.

Overlay page

I had a lot of fun filling the holes with papers from the Brushed paper Pack.  The stamped title uses 3 different stamp fonts and 3 ink colours.  Ink entire title in lightest colour then daub the medium and darkest colour around edges.

This layout is displayed in CTMH's Designed Décor Shadow Box in my work…

Imagine you were a Princess

sept-2-pages-page-007
When I was at the CTMH Convention in Disneyland, I spent some time in the theme park (as you do) and one of my favourite activities was watching the parade in the afternoon.  The first day I watched the characters and was caught up in the magic of it all.  The second day I was standing behind a little girl, all dressed up like a Princess, who was having the time of her life.  I think I spent more time watching her priceless reactions than I did the show.
