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 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!

CTMH Olivia Extras

More playing with our Olivia Collection!!

Playing with our clear cards provides so many opportunities to experiment with layering, allowing hidden messages, and beautiful layers to express such beautiful art!


Convert an ordinary business envelope into an extradorinary card! How cool is this! Wish I could claim this awesome idea, but it was shared by friends at a crop!

CTMH Olivia 3x3 Mini Album

Yes, it's my favorite stamp set of late...The Present, I love that set! ;0) This is our adorable 3x3 Mini Album (Cream with Organdy ribbon Z1166) only $3.95 and so cute! I used our beautiful Olivia paper pack to create this mini album and the lil pages shown below!


Despite the name 3x3 mini-album, don't be fooled, these pages are actually a little bigger measuring at 3 1/8 x 3 1/4. This little book was embellished with our Foundry Flourishes Assortment (Z1331), Antiqued Copper Mini-Medley collection (Z1275), Opaques Pearl and Mocha Adhesive Gems (Z1336 & Z1333).

Who could you make this mini-album for?
