Stardust Layout

This is a layout that I did with the help of my Imagine How To Guide. I love those books! I also love this paper. It can be for girls or for boys, parties or any celebrations, picnics or military....get the picture? The colors promoted in this paper are: Moonstruck, Topiary, Bamboo, and Honey. This is also a fabulous set to mix and match your B&T (background & Texture) papers with. Try it and see what you can come up with.

CTMH paper pack Stardust $12.95
Ink Colors $5.25 each

It's A Guy Thing/ The Crinkle Paper Technique



I LOVE this layout! This paper is fabulous and this technique is even better. The Barn Red cardstock has been sprayed with a little mist of water and then crinkled in my hand. It is then uncrinkled and laid out to dry. Once the pieces are dry you can take an ink pad, I used Cocoa, and rub it over the crinkled paper. I just love this look.
The file folder that I have has been cut using one of the Coluzzle templates. If this is something you are interested in you should hurry and get it; Coluzzle will be retiring items every now and then until the end of the year. I tied some hemp around my file folder to give it added dimension. I just love everything about this paper pack. It is perfect for so many different types of pictures. See what you can come up with and leave me a comment and let me know. Thanks for looking. have a great day!

More To Adore




I love this layout! This was the first time my son, then 6 months old, met his great grandmother. She passed away about 6 months later and I am so thrilled that we got these pictures of them. I love the one of his hands holding onto hers. There is something to be said for the old and the new huh?
This paper is called More To Adore and actually is highlighted with blush pink cardstock in the paper pack. I decided to use Lilac Mist cardstock with my photos since my son is wearing blue and after all he is a boy. I think it looks perfect together!
Don't be afraid to mix and match paper packs. There are so many combinations with CTMH. I also mixed my alphabet stamp sets for the title. I used Rustic Alphabet for the word "Grandma" and I used the Precious Alphabet for the words "meeting" and "Wogan". CTMH's ink colors also overlap each other very nicely and never fade together. I used Lilac Mist and Chocolate for this page. See how well the Lilac Mist shows up on the same color cardstock? Thats the beauty of CTMH!
