CTMH-- You and Me

For National Scrapbook month, CTMH offered a wonderful gift.  Once I saw the colors and stamps, I knew it would go perfectly for Abby's 1st Communion.  I was only able to do one page, so thankfully I have lots of extras left over!

Plus, unlike papers which you can run out of, stamps last for years and can be used in many different ways.  For instance, I used some of the stamps on my 'Typeset' cards.

Last of Florida Trip

Finally finished up scrapping the Florida trip!!  I was able to find the perfect paper for the Art Deco decor of South Beach by using an old DCWV paper pack.  Also spent a day on Lake Worth Drive in West Palm.  This street is very similar to Rodeo Drive.  Basic Grey's Marjolaine's line came in handy here:)

Teresa Collins-- Chic Baby Bella & CTMH Stamps/Accessories




One of the reasons we visited South Beach while in Florida was to go to the Kardashian's DASH store.  My oldest daughter was dying to see the store because many of the show's episodes were filmed there.  Well, we were very disappointed!  The clothes were both tacky and outrageously expensive.  The only thing we could buy was a $5 bottled water with the Kardashian's picture on it!  And, the store was small.  The inside of the store was decorated well, but the outside had no curb appeal.  If you didn't notice the sign, then you'd walk right by.  Although we were disappointed with the overall experience, my oldest daughter would have been upset if we didn't see the store.

To capture all the Kardashian bling, I used Teresa Collins's Chic Baby Bella-- which was perfect. I also had a chandelier sticker from Martha Stewart.  All the inks were from CTMH, along with the stamp set for DASH.  CTMH has new bling buttons and brads that are to die for!  Here is the product info:
