CTMH Workshops on the Go: Lucky

It's amazing that we have 8 NEW beautiful paper collections with Close to My Heart...and even moreso is that I was quickly able to identify my FAVORITE of the 8!! They truly are all beautiful collections, so why is LUCKY the one for me?

It could be that it features one of my favorite colors, Outdoor Denim! Couple that with the tons of photos of my little guys, that this collection so perfectly fits! Or is it the name that was the weighing factor for me?

John and I celebrated our anniversary this month on St Patricks day! And we know how lucky we are with our many blessings! We have a beautiful horseshoe above our door that says "Lucky In Love", ahhh, so Lucky, what a wonderful name for this versatile collection!!

This is the layout from our Workshops on the Go Lucky kit (G1018). The kit includes the Level 2 Paper Packet, an exclusive stamp set, our NEW Wooden Designer Buttons (z1387), Natural Hemp (Z280) and the matching Workshop Guide to guide you through creating this layout and the matching cards!

I'm really enjoying these wooden buttons, they add an additional dimension and texture to my projects and are just stinkin' cute!

This is my Lucky Stickease (x7137c) layout! I love how our Stickease make creating layouts Faster, Simpler and Easier than ever! With example layouts featured on the back of the stickease, combined with our wonderful How To Program books like Magic (9034)! I've also added some of our Lucky Level 2 Assortment chipboard (Z1356).
These are photos from Easter 2010 when the boys were learning to ride their bikes...I'm sure I'm rationalizing my procrastinating behavior by saying, "Isn't it a good thing I hadn't scrapbooked these photos yet? This collection so perfectly works with these photos!!!"

Okay, maybe I'm justifying how behind I am in my layouts, but boy, these pages really work for me!!

This layout I've also added some of our NEW Lucky Level 2 Journaling Spots (Z1359), of course the Lucky Chipboard and the Stickease, combined with the Natural Hemp for some additional texture.

These are some more of our family photos taken at our photo shoot with Through His Eyes Photograph, LeaAnn Gardner (http://leaanngardner.com). She is so awesome and always takes such wonderful pictures for us!

Be sure to get your own Lucky collection, you'll love the beautiful colors and inspiration!!!

CTMH Workshops on The Go: Wings

This new collection from Close to My Heart is absolutely gorgeous and so versatile! Stay tuned for several projects using this beautiful paper collection...and when you purchase the Wings Workshop on the Go (G1016), you'll receive the kit complete with an exclusive stamp set, full Level 2 Paper Pack, Mini-Medley Accents Black Collection, NEW Spray Pen, and the workshop guide!

These are our latest family pictures (more to follow) taken by Through His Eyes Photography - LeaAnn Gardner! (http://leaanngardner.com/)

The Wings WOTG Cards...as you can see, I was a little spray happy with my Spray Pen! It was such fun to play with, so in some cases I went a little overboard, but I enjoy the colors!

CTMH Magnifique Flip Flap Mini Album

Here's one of the many ways you can use our fabulous 4x6 Flip Flaps! This is such an inexpensive and yet fun project to create! Using our Plain Chipboard (Z1164) which includes 2 - 9x12 sheets of chipboard for only $2.95, you'll cover the front of the chipboard base, then adhere the Flip Flaps to it and use a smaller strip of chipboard to cover the adhesive stripes. For added security, I like to use our Bigger Brads to secure everything in place, then cover the back of the base (hiding the brad backs). And wallah, you have a mini-album ready for 4x6 photos, mini layouts or a combination!

Check out our beautiful NEW Blue & Green Sparkles (Z1327)! I've always been big on BLING...but now we have colors to choose from...such fun!
I also added some of our Mocha Opaques (Z1333) and Foundry Flourish accents (Z1331)!

And since I was in a playful mood, I incorporated some of our lovely new Lagoon Mini-Medleys (Z1340)

CTMH Magnifique Projects

I'm so in love with these beautiful colors, they're so versatile and make such lovely gifts, layouts and so much more!

Covering a composition book, an inexpensive but wonderful gift idea!
Our My Creations Journal

Corner Bookmarks...just rotate these 90 degrees and slip over the corner of your page to hold your spot!

Love this Circle Album idea shared on SplitCoast Stampers!

CTMH Mistletoe My Stickease Layouts

I know I say it time and again, but I love how quick an ez you can create a layout using our My Stickease! I was able to create 3, that's right 3 layouts using one set of our Mistletoe My Stickease (X7130C). I tend to create a lot of layouts in 3's, sometimes replicas and sometimes they each get their own layouts, depending on the pictures I have. Either way, each of our 3 beautiful children will have a Christmas layout in their album and I love that I was able to maximize the use of our My Stickease by creating these pages!

CTMH Workshops on the Go: Mistletoe

Our new Mistletoe collection is so beautiful and versatile, featuring Cocoa, Cranberry, Garden Green & New England Ivy...this collection can be used on so many layouts!

I'm especially in love with the music note B&T, so I adapted our Workshop on the Go (G1014) layout to incorporate the music notes so I could use this layout for the "formal" pictures of Mandy and her friends at their Symphonic Band performance!

Elegant...and yet so playful...you can tell these gals enjoying spending time together!!

The cards were super simple, yet elegant! I love how easy these were to put together and such minimal "scraps" of paper needed, which means I can easily create a whole collection of these cards to use as my Holiday cards this year! LOVE the new Mistletoe Level 2 Assortment (Z1330) of paper flowers, pearl brads, epoxy and embossed brads!
