CTMH Aurora Born to Roam Scrapbook Layout

With each release of a new catalog, Close to My Heart hosts a Product Launch for consultants with artwork we can create using new products!!  The May/June 2020 Catalog Launch featured our Aurora Collection!  We created 3 layouts and 6 cards in the product launch!  

My launch projects were created using the Aurora Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet, Aurora Coordinating Cardstock, Aurora Acrylic Shapes (X7256E), and the May Stamp of the Month: Time to Celebrate.



This is the first layout from our seasonal launch.  It was actually designed as a “single page” on the right…but I still prefer to scrapbook in double-page layouts, so used some of the remaining papers and supplies to create the left side companion page.

CTMH Blue Skies Fun Times Scrapbook Layout

I couldn’t resist playing with the Blue Skies collection and ended up creating 6 - two-page layouts following patterns in the Make It From Your Heart Volume 3 pattern book!  I used the Blue Skies Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet (CC5205), Blue Skies Cardstock (CC5212) and the white dots from our Black & White dots!



This is the 3rd layout I created with the Blue Skies collection.  The Blue Skies Cardstock includes 12 sheets with glossy UV-coated patterns on one side; 2 each of Canary, Candy Apple, Flamingo, Green Apple, Lagoon, and Sapphire.  For this layout, I used the Lagoon cardstock as the base and added a strip of Red Shimmer Trim along the bottom for a little sparkle.
