Heart2Heart Challenges- New Beginnings

How many of you say to yourself "I need to use what I have before I buy more" when it comes to your scrapbooking supplies??  Well, you're not alone!  In fact, I'm pretty sure everyone says that!  

In this NEW YEAR, it's  all about NEW beginnings The first challenge at Heart2Heart is to use something NEW on your project: maybe a new product, a new technique, a new baby, or anything that is NEW to you.  Be sure to use some CTMH products in your creation, explain how your project fits the NEW challenge, and of course be sure to mention your favorite challenge blog, Heart 2 Heart!

A NEW product to me this month is Babycakes!  While I don't have a "baby" myself, I do have a baby (ok, she's one now) niece.  I finally got a chance to scrapbook some of her NEWborn pictures!


  This layout is based off of the layout in the Workshop on the Go kit, but I changed to colors to make it more girly (instead of neutral).  I also changed it to fit the photos that I had. 




 This is one of the final (ALMOST DONE) layouts in my niece's first year album that I'm making her.  This is the same layout pattern- the featured layout in the Workshop on the Go Kit, modified again to make it more girly, and to fit the photos that my sister-in-law had of my niece. 
Products Used:
Babycakes Workshop on the Go Kit
Babycakes Stickease
Babycakes Assortment
Silver Shimmer Trim
Polka Dot Washi tape
Pearl Opaques
Polka Dot Alphabet
Black & Grey Glitter paper
Art Philosophy
Scalloped Border Punch

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
