Springtime on the Farm

I have a great 2 page layout design for you today.   I created this layout for a Canadian Scrapbooker challenge a few months ago, but just haven't had a chance to post it until now.
The sketch is by Kelly Klapstein.  Such a great versatile sketch for a layout with 5 (or more) photos!

Materials Used:
CTMH Patterned paper:  Moonlight collection (retired)
CTMH Canvas Badge Buttons
CTMH Cork Alphabet
CTMH Kraft Borders
CTMH stamp sets: Stitched Together, One Fine Day (retired), and Frame it Up
CTMH ink: Desert Sand, Black
CTMH cardstock: Smokey Plum, Amethyst, Kraft
Title cut with my Cricut

Everyday Embellishing

It’s easy to incorporate chalk, metallics, and bling into your artwork with a few embellishments you can use on your everyday papercrafting projects. In the following fabulous artwork examples courtesy of the CTMH Art Department, I can show you how!


This Merry & Bright page uses dots created with the gold metallic marker to add extra sparkle around the edges of the page. Notice the scalloped accents with outlines in gold marker which adds dimension and draws your eye. Our metallics markers will make your artwork sparkle!  (Circles & title cut with the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge)


Add heart to your art with an extra touch of bling—cover your Dimensional Elements with silver Glitz™ glitter gel, a clear Sparkle or two, or a touch of silver from the metallics marker! Your heartfelt messages will bedazzle your loved ones.


The chalk marker and 12" × 12" chalkboard sheet are a perfect pair for creating a unique project. Journal and embellish your memories with the quaint look of a chalkboard—minus the dust—and a lot of freehand fun, perfect to display in your albums or on your walls!

If you haven’t had a chance to scrapbook your Halloween photos yet, here’s a great idea for a spooky page. The Haunted assortment with its cute skull brads, spider badge buttons, and more, is the perfect go-to for scary Halloween memories. It also coordinates nicely with the Moonlight paper packet and Moonlight Complements Dimensional Elements.


Tell your story with papers and accents that complement your unique tale. The Memo assortment’s little note tags are great for embellishing and journaling all in one, and the tiny epoxy numbers mimic old typewriter keys. Pair the Memo assortment with our Scholastic paper packet and My Stickease^® assortment for your school-themed memories and more!


This elegant layout is tied together by antique elements from the Brocade assortment, Avonlea Complements canvas shapes, and the beautiful Avonlea papers. Add a timeless quality to your memories with graceful keys, broaches, and buttons from the Brocade assortment.

Whatever your project, embellishing will bring your artwork to life.

My Bags are Packed with CTMH Moonlight

We have a new song on the Scrap it with a Song playlist for this week.    We are singing along to "Leaving on a Jet Plane" & hope you'll join us!!

I created this fun layout of my hubby hauling the hockey gear with CTMH's new Moonlight paper pack.  Both of our kids play hockey & my husband coaches them - so these photos reflect an almost daily scene at our house over the winter months.    The Moonlight paper pack is a "Halloween" themed collection - but as you can see in this layout - many of the papers are pretty versatile & can be used for a variety of layouts!!

Materials Used:  
CTMH Moonlight paper pack
CTMH cardstock:  Colonial White, Slate, Black
CTMH buttons: Holiday Red (retired)
CTMH Canvas Shapes (journalling spot)
Title was typed & printed on my computer

Hope you will have some fun with us over at Scrap it with a Song!  You have until August 31st to link up  your "Leaving on a Jet Plane" inspired creation & play along!   Thanks for stopping by today!
