Hopscotch revised

What do you do when you find an "old" paper packet?  You try and see what you can do!   The first layout is just the paper.  The second view of the same pages show embellishment.

Layout 1



I actually switched the left and right sides after I did the embellishments.  I did a 3x4 and a 4x3 Pocket Card from Artbooking (CTMH Cricut).  I did p36 On this Day from Artfully Sent (CTMH Cricut) I used the Alphabet Framework E1027.  It is an open alphabet that you can stamp on paper or like I did, I used D1710 Playful Patterns from the stamp set with the Flower  Market (CTMH Cricut).  I stamped a design on Colonial White and then stamped the alphabet over it and cut it out.  I used left over pattern stamp under the 2 pocket cards and the back for On this Day.  I also used C1667 This & That.  You can use any set of word stamps as a border.  

Hopscotch used Smoothie, Sunset, Glacier, Flaxen and Indian Corn Blue Inks.  

Layout 2



The "Hello" is from D1714 Dreamin Big - Scrapbooking.  I also used Adore You S 1701 (January stamp of the month)  I used the Cricut Flower market for the flowers with D1714.  I love using our alcohol markers!  They work so well with colors.  Remember to keep them laying level so the ink doesn't pool up inside the markers.  I added some extra bling.

Layout 2



Close To My Heart added some Thin Cuts to stamp sets in the Annual Catalog.  One of those went with D1706 School Kids.  The Tin cuts - School kids is CC1158.  Again the alcohol markers make the coloring so neat.  

Layout 4



I used D1716 Some Kinda wonderful - scrapbooking set.  Except for the School kids, all of the stamp sets are featured in the new Seasonal Expressions catalog.  You can check out purchases on my website.

#Some kinda wonderful is a vibrant cute paper as you are getting ready for those spring photos.

One of the new papers is Dreamin' big.  This is a versatile paper.



This is no stamping or need for inks with the Workshop Your Way.  You can download the directions from my website.  The Workshop Your Way includes: The paper packet, the complements, extra cardstock and 2 kinds of bling. As an option you can also make cards while you are cutting out your pages.  They are all included in the directions. 


#Hello Lovely

The New 4 month Seasonal Expressions catalog is out.  One of the new papers is "Hello Lovely".  Check out the Workshop Your Way and the great paper!



  One of my groups is able to do the 3 - 2 page layouts as well as the cards in a 3 - 3 1/2 hours!  Give it a try.  The pages don't need any stamps or inks.  The cards to need stamps and inks.  The stamps so have Thin Cuts with them which makes it easy to stamp and use. 

Workshop Your Way - Swan Lake (mine and CTMH) pluse Pocket Plus!

Workshop Your Way is very versatile.  I have done a design using the Workshop your Way - my way and then with the downloaded directions.  You can get the directions from my website.



Now you can see the 3 - 2 page layouts that  came with the directions:


How many times do you just have a few photos that just don't fit on the pages you have made?  Close To My Heart came out with Memory Protectors - Pocket Plus.  These are half pages that will hold photos and journaling as well as paper.  Design 1 is 3 horizontal 4x6 inch pockets.  Design 2 is 2 vertical 6x4 pockets.  Design 3 is 6 vertical 3x4 pockets and Design 4 is 4 horizontal 3x4 pockets.  You can find them in the Annual book or on my website.
