CTMH Holly & Ivy Scrapbook Kit by Maureen

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!  I went to my sister's house and was able to sit back and relax.  No cooking for me:)

I just finished up a scrapbook kit based on the CTMH Holly & Ivy line.  This paper line sold out completely at CTMH.  Luckily, I purchased the kits months ago.

This paper line is classic, nostalgic. The deer add a nice flair.

Below is the kit that I created.  All elements of the kit are pre-cut and ready for you to assemble.

The kits are complete and ready to ship.  To order yours, please click HERE.

 Hi everyone,

I'm here to share a summer kit that I designed using the CTMH Summer Vibes paper line.  This paper line came out over a year ago.  Sometimes I purchase the paper and make the kits when the inspiration hits.  Well, the inspiration finally hit!

This kit will work perfect for all things summer-- picnics, beach, cook-outs and all things fun!

CTMH November SOTM Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the November SOTM Blog Hop!  If you came her from Becca-Expressions Blog, then you are on the right path.  Should you get lost along the way, please see Melinda's Blog for a list of all the participants.

For my project, I used the stamp set to document my youngest daughter's HS graduation.  My daughter and her friend lead the Pledge Allegiance to Flag because both joined the National Guard as reservists.  I haven't seen my daughter since she left in June for Boot Camp and Military Police training.

Thankfully, we will see next week as she graduates from the National Guard and Military Police-- can't wait!

Here's a close of the sentiment.  It worked perfectly!

If you'd like to get the SOTM for only $5 or for free and don't have a CTMH consultant, then please let me know.

Next up is Stefani Ewing.  Please see Stefani's Blog and all of the consultants' blog.

Thank you, Maureen

CTMH Boo Crew Scrapbook LO

Hi and happy October!

Fall is my favorite time of the year.  Love these cooler, sunny days and colder nights.  

Before we know it, Halloween will be here.  To help get you read to document your Halloween events, I created a 4 page scrapbook LO.

I paired this line with Canary and Green Apple.  To make it interactive, I added two shakers!  Here's a closer look at the Spooky Shaker title.

CTMH Sept/Oct Catalog New Product Blog Hop

Hello,

Welcome to the CTMH Sept/Oct Catalog Blog Hop!  If you've come here from Lauren's CTMH Crafting Blog, then you are on the right path.  Should you get lost along the way, then please see Melinda's Blog for a list of all participants.

Fall is my favorite time of year.  So, I just could not resist working with the Pumpkin Spice paper line!  Here are two layouts that I created.  

To create these layouts, I used the Pumpkin Spice paper and sticker pack, September SOTM, Papaya Shimmer Trim, and the Pumpkin Spice Wood Stickers. For the splattering effect, I used Gilt Gloss spray and the Sapphire Shimmer Brush.

I hope this post has inspired you to get ready for fall.  If you'd like to order any of these items and don't have a consultant, then please see My Store. After I complete the third LO,  I will be making this available for purchase.  Please come back and check out My Kits tab.

CTMH Core Catalog New Product Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the CTMH Core Catalog New Product Blog Hop!!  If you came here from Gina's Blog then you are on the right path. Should you get lost along the way, then please see Melinda's Blog for a list of all the participants.

The annual catalog is full of goodies!  I chose to make some cards using the new 'As You Grow' paper line.  This paper is great for both feminine and masculine cards, as one side of the paper is for girls and the other boys.

The first card uses the 'Pumpkin Treats' stamp and thin cut stamps.  My friends are crazy for all things pumpkin and coffee, so I'll get a good use of this stamp:)

The second card is a slimline card using the 'Ooh la la Macarons' stamp and thin cut stamp.  I just love Macarons, along with my daughters, so I'll use this stamp a lot!  Also, if you haven't done so already, check out all the new slimline thin cuts.  They make creating slimlines easy!

The next card uses 'Rustic Sign Sentiments' stamp and thin cut set.  Just as the name implies, this set has many sentiments-- Happy Birthday, Miss You, Love, and Get Well.  You many have noticed that I used a pop of color on all of these cards-- Wild Berry, the CTMH color of the year.

The last card uses a stamp set from the Seasonal catalog called 'Thoughtful Critters' stamp and thin cut set.  I just couldn't resist pairing this set with the As You Grow paper line.

Well, I hope this post has inspired you to create some cards.  If you do not have a consultant and would like to purchase any CTMH products, then please contract me or visit My Store.

Please be sure to visit all of the CTMH Blog Hop participants.  Next up is the My Heartfelt Sentiments.

Thank you, Maureen

 

CTMH Smarty Pants Scrapbook Kit

Hi everyone,

It may be back to school for some of you.  This is the first time in 20 years that I don't have a child in grade K-12 !!  It seems like yesterday that I was dropping one of my daughters off to school or at the bus stop.  My father always told me that once children start school that life goes by so quickly.  Boy, was her right!

Even though I did not take any pictures this year, I still have lots of catching up to do!  Here is a scrapbook kit that I made to help document all the Back To School stuff-- the first day, the school photos and just having fun:)

To create this kit, I used CTMH's new line called Smarty Pants.  Using my Cricut and stamps, I created some titles-- 2 Cool 4 School and Picture Perfect.  I also used the sticker sheet for the third title.

This kit is ready to ship.  If you'd like to order one, then please kit HERE.

Thanks for stopping by,

September SOTM CTMH Blog Hop

Hello,

Welcome to the SOTM Blog Hop!  This hop is one big circle.  If you've come here from Gina's Blog, then you are on the right path!  Should you get lost along the way, the please see Melinda's Blog for a list of all participants.

The SOTM has 16 stamps.

This SOTM is perfect for cards or scrapbook layouts.  When I saw the sentiment, I knew the perfect picture to scrap!

My daughter recently joined the Army National Guard as a Reservist.  She just completed boot camp and is now onto military police training. She'll be back home in November and will begin college in January.  Here's a LO of her saying good bye to our dog, Leo.  Leo is one of our 2 family dogs, but he is very close to Abby:)

I stamped the title using Sapphire Ink and the 'for you' using Paprika Ink.  Here is a closer look:

For the design of this page, I was inspired by Paige Evans.  She did a LO way back using this leaf technique.  I changed my a bit by making the wreath bigger and using a 4x6 photo.  I also 'swashed' on some Orange Ink and splatter Blue Shimmer.

If you'd like to purchase the SOTM at a discount or for free, then please see My Store.
