Photoplay For the Love of Winter

Hello,

In 2015, the Boston area got hit with multiple snow storms.  At least four storms occurred on Sundays with no school/work on Mondays.  We got so much snow, they started to dump it in the ocean!

Below is a LO I created to document all of this snow.  I used Photoplay's 'For the Love of Winter'.  I just love the browns, blues and beige colors.

I found the title on Cricut Design Space.  I love it-- Let it Snow, Somewhere else!

Check out all of snow in these pictures.  Let's hope 2020 is not like 2015!

Thanks for stopping by and keep crafty!

CTMH-- Every Little Thing 4-page Scrapbook Layout

Hello and happy fall!

CTMH came out with its new holiday catalog in mid October.  Two of the paper lines Hawthorne and Every Little Thing recently retired.

Below is a Layout kit that I designed.

The first pages was inspired by the Fall catalog.  To cut the wreath, I used the CTMH Flower Market cricut cartridge.  CTMH's two new colors were used for the wreath-- Julep and Wisteria.

Here is a closer look of the first layout.

For the second layout, I found a sketch on Pinterest and just imaged what the second page would look like.  Using CTMH's 'Strokes of an Artist, stamp, I stamped some spats.  Here is a closer look:

Although retired, the 'Everything Little Thing' paper line is available on line only. If you'd like to order a pre-cut kit, then please see my KITS tab and order yours today!

CTMH So Happy-- Pre-cut Kit

Hi there,

As you may know, I design and create kits.  I recently created a kit using the CTMH "So Happy" paper line.  My daughter spent a semester in Italy.  While there, she traveled extensively.

Here are pictures from her weekend in Paris.

Below is the pre-cut kit I designed. 

Kits are helpful at times.  They give us a head start on projects.

I have a few more "So Happy" pre-cut kits available.  If you are interested, please let me know.
Thanks and stay crafty:)

Hawthorne CTMH Kit

Hello,

I hope you are enjoying autumn.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love all the colors, the warm sun, and the sound of leaves crunching when I walk.

Last weekend, I went to a corn maze in western ma.  I look forward to documenting this fun event!  Thankfully, CTMH has made scrapping more simple.  The new kits involve very little cutting, everything is pre-cut. 

Below is a kit that is only available through the end of October.  The kit is stunning-- don't miss out on this one!

Here's a closer look at some of the pages:

Again, this kit is only available through October 31st.  If you'd like a kit, then please let me know.

CTMH Craft On LO

Hello,

I'm catching up on my scrapping.  Below is a LO from 2015 from a trip to NYC.  While on Madison Ave, we stumbled upon a Lily Pulitzer store.  I just love her colorful clothing and the store was just as colorful!  So, we stayed a bit and took lots of pictures.  I used a bunch of flip flaps.

This LO was actually featured on one of CTMH's kit.  I just inked it, stamped some ink blots and added extra embellishments.

Here is a closer look:

If you missed this paper line, please let me know.  I have more!

CTMH Hawthorne LO

Hello, happy October!  Today I'm doing a corn maze with my sisters.  Before I head out, I want to share a fall LO using CTMH's Hawthorne paper line.

Love, love, love this paper line.  The colors can be used for all things fall and for masculine layouts as well. The paper worked well for documented a Homecoming dance that my daughter attended 2 years ago.  I copied the LO from the CTMH Fall catalog.  It was a one page LO and I flipped it to create the second page.

Here's a closer look at the LO:

My daughter injured her knee while skateboarding.  So, of course I had to highlight this:)






















Here's a look at the second page:

Well, I hope this inspired you to get your fall scrap-booking done!  Hawthorne is only available through October 31st.  Don't miss out.

Thanks, Maureen

Autumn Cards

Hello,

I'm back again with another take on Fall cards.  I created 3 similar cards, but just switched up the paper to CTMH's Hawthorne line.

The Hawthorne line is very Fall like-- it can be used for school and all things fall.

Here is a closer look at the cards:

Thanks for stopping by and happy Fall Y'all!

Every Little Thing Card Class

Hello, I know, I know-- it's been a while.  I just started a new job and it has taken some time to get used the commute and job.

We're hosting an overnight crop on October 3-6 in Mansfield MA.  I'll be teaching a card class on Saturday, Oct 5th.  Time TBD.

To create the cards, I used CTMH's new paper line called 'Every Little Thing'.  Like all of CTMH's paper lines, I am in LOVE!!  The new Wisteria and Julep colors are just lovely.

For the cards, I got a little help from the catalog as well as other consultants. 

The first card uses the September SOTM-- 'Random Acts of Cardness', along with a new embossing folder.  There are lots of sentiments for a variety of uses. 

The second card uses the new 'Sunflower and Sympathy' stamp and die set.  I love all things sunflowers, so this a must have stamp for me.

The 3rd card is a shaker card uses the 'Some Kind of Wonderful' stamp and die set.  Julie Carriere designed this card for the CTMH convention.  When I saw it, I just knew I had to make it.  

The 4th card using CTMH's 'Share the Seasons' stamp and dies.  The set comes with 2 die cuts and 2 stamp sets.  It is a bargain for $39.95.

The last card is my favorite.  A fellow consultant created this design.  The stamp and die set is called 'Perk Up'.

If you'd like to order any of these stamps, then please check out my store.  If you are interested in taking the class, then click on the 'Kits' tab.
