Cards

Here are 3 cards I put together for my hostess club on Saturday. I have been wanting to play with Ms. Gardener . . . and had so much fun paper piecing her in the cute little hippie pants (Emporium Lv. 2 paper). The gals in my club had fun doing the paper piecing for the first time . . .CTMH's new Ms. stamps just lend themselves to that technique, don't they?

And 2 cards copied from the CTMH bulletin boards . . . with my own little tweeks:

More later . . .

Finally . . .

Yes, as promised, I finally got my other 3 layouts photographed and uploaded . . here they are . .


10 Things I Love About You
I must admit, I shamelessly copied this layout from another CTMH consultant! Every now and then, don't you see a layout that you JUST HAVE TO HAVE in your album? This was one of those layouts for me. I absolutely loved it and copied it almost exactly (except for the things I love about my sweet little Joey). All products are CTMH:

Christmas 2007

For this layout, I used more products that I've had around for years . . . the paper, stickers, and my quickutz reindeer that I just love but have never used before. I like the way this one turned out:

Ocean Shores

I really don't like the wave sticker I used on this layout, but it seemed appropriate and I've had it for so long (as I have the cute surfer paper) I just had to get rid of it . . . Other than that, I like the layout . . . I like the colors (not typical for me) and the photos. And I love Ocean Shores . . . so it's hard not to like the layout when I have such great memories.

That's it for now . . . I haven't been in "scrap mode" for a while, so it will take me a week or so to get some more layouts put together. But I've been wanting to play with my stamps and take on some challenges for cards . . so keep coming back to see how I'm doing!

Lotsa layouts!

I got into a little frenzy just before the holidays . . . felt like I needed to start using some of the products I've been stashing for so long! So I pumped out about 12 pages (WOW!!) in about 1 week! I was pretty proud of myself. So, here they are . . .

One Tired Boy - I added a journaling tag underneath the middle picture (you can see the little red ribbon sticking out of the side). Basically, it says that when Joe is tired enough . . he can fall asleep just about anywhere . . . this day he fell asleep on the coffee table/trunk in the living room, wearing his Incredible Hulk costume . . lol . . he is too funny!

New Bunkbeds - my sister and b-i-l made these log bunkbeds for my boys and brought them out to us from Montana last November (2007). They are beautiful and the boys love them! For this layout I used all CTMH products - love that Caprice paper!

Photobucket

Two Little Monkeys Jumpin on the Bed - my boys love to jump on our bed . . . just had to capture it on a layout . . .and . . I've had this paper for so long I can't even tell you! I cut out 2 of the monkeys and popped them up on the photos . . . !

Photobucket

1st Day of Preschool (Little Sprouts) - this was my youngest son's (Joe) first day of preschool last September . . . he is just so stinkin' cute, isn't he? My little lovey . .

I used all CTMH products for this layout - one of my absolute favorite paper packs EVER . . Sarsparilla . .

Here's the full layout:

Halloween 2007 - this was my boys on Halloween year before last . . . .Josh was a great vampire and Joe was a sweet little monkey . . lol . . For this layout I used paper and embellishments that I've had for YEARS!!! Finally dug them out and used them . . .boy that feels good, doesn't it?! Also used some new Papertrey Ink stamps (spider with web and the cat):
