Nothing beats combining the love for TWO businesses into one project!  I needed a mirror to add to my Jewel Kade display.  I had one in the closet in the "to alter" pile.  So I got it out, pulled out some CTMH supplies and got to work! I started by spray painting the frame white.  It took three coats and was not fully covered.  But that was ok, and the look I was going for.  I sanded it smooth a little.  Then I painted a layer of CTMH's Create a shade Pearl Paint to give it a little shimmer.  I used the Wings Workshop stamp set and Juniper ink to create the damask pattern.  Then I stamped JK using archival Black ink and Building Block Alphabet.  I used some fat gingham ribbon to create rolled ribbon roses and attached them to the bottom corner.  The paint and ink took a while to dry, so I heat set it (a little too much in one spot, but shhhhh). I am totally thrilled with the outcome it looked FABULOUS on my display!  I got...

Zippidee is the 4th and Final Paper pack in the Summer Idea Book that I'm working with. CTMH certainly did NOT disappoint this Summer. All 4 packs (Cherry-O, Splendor, Passages and Zippidee) have been super fun to work with. When I saw Zippidee in the Idea Book, it was used primarily with Disney photos. And of course I have a TON of those from our trip to Disneyland last month. BUT- I also saw a great use for it with T-ball and even 4th of July. See how versatile it can be??!! These layouts are from my son's T-ball season. I used the additional Kit of the Month layouts as a guide for these, although I deviated quite a bit. I used the In the Game- Baseball stamp set to complete the T-ball/baseball feel!

Here are the scrapbook layouts I created with the Passages Kit of the Month ! I don't often deviate too much from the sketch provided, simply because the sketches are awesome! I thought the Passages papers were perfect for a Father's Day theme! The nice thing about these kits is I had already decided to use these pages for Father's day, so I knew "what kind" of pictures I needed, what size and what orientation. Some call it staging, I call it careful planning ;) Here is my hubby with my darling babies! I think I will have him journal (maybe he'll even write in himself- that would be cool!)
