CTMH Workshops on the Go: Olivia

Check out the gorgeous new colors included in our Olivia collection! This Workshops on the Go collection includes the exclusive Timeless stamp set, and features 3 of our new colors: Pear, Smoothie & Sunset! I was able to complete the exclusive WOTG layout 3x by adding a couple sheets of cardstock! This collection also has our NEW Shimmer Designer Brads (Z1349), which worked out great as I had enough brads to create the exclusive layout 3x & the WOTG exclusive cards shown below!

CTMH Olivia Stickease Layouts

I've played alot with the Olivia Collection...so be sure to check out my blog throughout November as I share what I've created!!!

I love being able to quickly put together a layout using our My Stickease and the inspiration found on the back of the My Stickease collections! This layout is especially dear to me, as the featured layout on the back of the Olivia Stickease ACTUALLY have my families photos on them!! I was so excited when I saw them and immediately recreated the layout! Do you have a set of our Olivia My Stickease (X7128C), if so, check out the layout on the back! If not, what are your waiting for...aren't these layouts fabulous!! ;0)

This layout is so ready for our next round of family pictures...gonna get them scheduled as soon as I get back home...I can't wait!!!

CTMH Hooligans Stickease Layouts

Aren't these layouts adorable! The Hooligans Level 2 Assortment of adhesive-backed felt monsters coordinate adorably with the Hooligans paper pack and add that extra level of dimension...not to mention how stinkin' cute they are!

These layouts are new patterns found in our NEW Interactive How-To book: Magic

Magic: On the Show, page 62
Caden looks so adorable...the boys were ecstatic about being Star Wars characters...the Pre-K Storybook parade required they dress as a character in a book...thank goodness they have a great collection of star wars books!

Magic: Magicians Choice, page 116

Trey confidently sports his costume during the Storybook parade! It's so much fun to be able to attend these events and watch the kids with their classmates!

2 of 3 posts that didn't post? Hmmmm, what was I thinking?

CTMH Passages - Layouts

These pictures are from our trip to New Zealand. I was so excited that my best friend Briana also earned the Close to My Heart New Zealand trip! We enjoyed a fabulous week and I took a zillion photos...this being the first layout I've completed so far! Stay tuned for more beautiful New Zealand pics!
It's amazing how many layouts and cards you can get from a single My Reflections Paper Pack! These are layouts I've put together using papers remaining after the Passages Workshop on the Go and incorporating the fabulous ideas on the back of our My Stickease collections!

CTMH Passages Scraps Cards

These are the cards I put together using the remaining scraps from my Passages Workshops on the Go kit. I love having extra cards available to grab for birthdays, thank-yous and sometimes to bag up a collection as a housewarming gift!

Passages CTMH Workshop

Passages

What a powerful word that can mean so many things, verses from the bible, division of musical work, passing from one place to another, an opening, a voyage, event and so much more.


What I love about our Close to My Heart Passages collection is the diversity this kit allows! With classic neutral colors, it can be used outdoors, for masculine artwork, heritage pages, travel projects and so much more!

I was inspired by the elegance of the Passages Workshop on the Go and opted to use this layout to scrapbook my daughters band recital. All dressed up and so formal looking, these papers and the antiqued embellishments and stamping give it an elegant look!

These cards were a treat to make, I enjoyed playing with the exclusive stamp set Lifetime (B1347) only available in the Passages Workshops on the Go collection. It includes stitching, sentiments, hinges, screws, keys and keyholes.
