CTMH Hillside Cottage 6 page Scrapbook Kit

Hi everyone, I'm back again with the last 2 pages of the Hillside Cottage Scrapbook kit.

To be honest, I wasn't sure about this paper line, but after working with it, it is now one of my favorites!


And, I decided to add a door for another one of the LO's.  Using a Flip-Flap, the door opens and you can put more pictures behind it.


Here's a look at the page with the door open.  So cute!!


















Here is all of the pages


This kit will be shipping next weekend.  I'm only making a limited amount, so be sure to order yours soon.

Thank you for stopping by,
Maureen

CTMH May and June New Product Blog Hop

 Hi,

Welcome to the CTMH May and June New Product Blog Hop!  If you've come here from Gina's Blog, thn you are on the right path!  Should you get lost along the way, simply click HERE for a list of all the CTMH participants.

If you haven't seen the new catalog, then check it out.  There are 3 new paper lines and lots of stamps and dies!  I recently visited a farm where you could pick your own tulips.  My dream is to someday visit Holland in the spring.  With Covid, the local farm offered a great alternative.

Here are the LO's that I created. 



For the first LO, I cut our some Tulips on my cricut using CTMH's  Flower Market and Hillside Cottage Cricut files.  To give the page more dimension, I blended in some Yellow Tim Holtz inks with my CTMH Stencil Pack #1.  I then, flicked on some Paprika Shimmer.

For the second LO, I decided to cut out a house and make the windows and door with pictures.  I have some nice family photos to use on this page.


I just love the lively colors of this line.  I plan to do a third LO set for this line and to offer it as a pre-cut kit. Please be sure to check and see what I've created.

If you don't have a consultant and would like to order any of the new items, then please see My Store.
Next up is Haley.  Please be sure to visit blog and all the other consultant's blogs.

Thanks for stopping by, Maureen

Let's Get Sketchy-- May 2021

Hi everyone,

I'm back again, this time with a Let's Get Sketchy sketch for May.

I hosted an overnight crop this past weekend.  As part of the weekend, we do a sketch challenge.  So, I had the crafters use this sketch.  The layouts came out awesome!

For my LO, I used Photoplay's 'Fern and Willard' paper line.  I pretty much stayed true to the sketch.  But instead of doilies, I stamped some cirles.  I also stamped some stitching in white.


We hope you will play along with us this month.  Check out the posts on the LGS Facebook page x.

Thanks, Maureen

CTMH National Scrapbook Month Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to the National Scrapbook Month Blog Hop!  If you've come here from Gina's Blog, then you are on the right path.  Should you get lost along the way, then please click HERE to see a list of all the participants.


To honor National Scrapbook Month, CTMH created a beautiful line called "You Are Enough".  The colors are rich and colorful, with gold accents.

For my project, I scrapbooked my daughter's senior prom.  When we went shopping, she was drawn to blue dresses.  The first page documents the dresses she tried on.  The second page shows the one she chose!  

To give the LO some extra touches,  I applied some blue ink to a small plastic bag and applied it directly to the paper. Next, I splattered on some Black and Sapphire inks using my CTMH Shimmer Brushes.


Here are some close ups

If you'd like to order this line and do not have a CTMH consultant, then please see my STORE.

Please be sure to visit all of the consultants' blogs.  Next up is the talented Haley-- Blog.
