CTMH's Final Perfect Pair! Available until July 31st!

CTMH's Perfect Pair promotion is coming to an end in just a few days.

Up for grabs between now and July 31st is one of either two great seasonal pairings (note: you don't get to choose - CTMH will send you ONE of these great pairings with your qualifying order based on availability):

Wonderland:

or Believe:

Both Wonderland and Believe are fantastic for all of your holiday projects - layouts, cards and more!

Here are just a few of the items I've created with these collections:

All of these - - plus a whole lot of CHRISTMAS CARDS and even a Christmas themed MINI ALBUM.   I really do love both of these great holiday collections!

Don't miss out - - the Wonderland and Believe Perfect Pairs are only available until July 31st, while supplies last with all orders of $75 or more placed on my WEBSITE by the end of the month.

Happy Shopping :-)

First Xmas with CTMH Believe

A new layout today, just for fun.   I was inspired by the "GOT SKETCH" 5th Anniversary challenge sketch, but sadly didn't get this done in time to enter the contest.  Great sketch, nonetheless - I had fun working with this one!  The layout came together quick & easy!

Materials Used:

CTMH patterned paper - Believe (retired)

CTMH cardstock - Kraft

CTMH Cork Alphabet

CTMH stickers - Believe (retired)

Border - Bazzill

Crafting with Kids - Christmas Ornament

Thought I'd share a cute little Christmas tree ornament that I taught to my daughter's hockey team today at their holiday party:

Easy peasy!! Just two materials - several strips of cardstock and a length of ribbon!

I used the CTMH BELIEVE paper pack for my ornament and white daisy grosgrain ribbon.

You can find the full instructions to make these ornaments HERE! 

Enjoy crafting with your kids!

Believe Workshop on the Go Layouts

I was kept pretty busy during the recent Canmore retreat I was hosting & didn't have a whole lot of time to work on my own projects - but one thing I did have a chance to complete was the Believe Workshop on the Go.  I love the CTMH workshop kits because I can grab a kit and it has everything I need in it to complete some great projects - no thinking or pre-planning required, other than which photos to use! 

With this kit - you can complete two great 2-page layouts.  (With a few extra materials - you can also complete a set of cards & a card box, but I opted to stick with the layouts for this one!)

Here is the first layout from the brochure:

And here is my take on it (click on it to view larger):

And now - this is the second layout as shown in the workshop guide:

And my completed layout:

Quick & easy scrapbooking for holiday photos!

Materials Used (all Close to My Heart):

Believe Workshop on the Go Kit (includes paper, accessory kit, chipboard stars, stamp set, workshop guide)

First layout also uses the Trinity Alphabet stamp set for the title

Second layout also uses the Cocktail Alphabet stamp set for the title

I used Topiary, Holiday Red, and Black ink in the first layout and New England Ivy ink in the second layout.

Believe Quick Pic Mini Album

CTMH Consultant Pamela Wallace designed a fabulous little mini-album using our Quick Pic album and the Believe Level 2 paper pack.  I loved her design but decided to make it even Faster, Simpler & Easier by using the coordinating Believe Stickease (rather than embellishing with stamping, as Pamela did).

Here is my album:

Super cute & quick mini album for a collection of holiday photos! Great for gift giving as well!

If you'd like to make this album, you'll need to order the following:
Believe Level 2 Paper Pack
Believe Stickease
Olive Quick Pic Album
Desert Sand Ink Pad (optional, for edge distressing of papers)
Sponge (optional, for edge distressing of papers)

Thanks for the inspiration Pam!
