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



Make sure you stop by Heart2Heart and play along with our NEW BEGINNINGS challenge!

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...

September Stamp of the Month- Family is Forever

Welcome to the September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for Family is Forever If you have come here from   Judy's Blog ,  you're on the right path.  This month we have 80 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit. This stamp set is beautiful!  Lately I have seen this fun and easy marker technique, so I decided to give it a try with the September Stamp of the Month.    Using the ShinHan Twin Touch Markers : Leaf Green, Turquoise Blue, Vivid Green and Cerulean Blue Light, I colored diagonal streaks across the middle of my card.  Then I used Archival Black Ink to Stamp Family is Forever.  I stamped the little hearts in Lagoon ink and added some Blue and Green Sparkles to the bottom.  I used the Die Cut Card , so I added a piece of the Lagoon Paper Fundamentals to the inside of the card.   The September Stamp of the Month is available from September 1-30.  It is only $5 with a $50 purchase on  my webs...
