Mix-In paper Close to My Heart layouts

 These are the 4 layouts my club did with the Mix-In paper Sept-Oct (2 of them) and the Mix-In Sept-Oct coordinating cardstock. I did have to add one black for a base page and little bit of Daisy White and Scarlet for journal spots and accents. I always use dies for the journal spots, and I try to pick one that I think matches the design in some way.  My club benefits from my extensive die collection.

For this layout I used the keyhole border punch for the top accent.

For this layout I used a pine tree border punch. You cannot tell from the picture but the brown around the journal spot has a wood grain embossing.

I used an old Sizzix die for the circle accents on this page.

The Good Life Close to My Heart Layouts

Here are 4 layouts I made using the Close to My Heart, The Good Life paper packet (2) and one coordinating cardstock packet.  I do always add some other cardstock as well for journaling or embellishments. 

The first 2 layouts were based on what was in the CTMH book, but I made slight changes as my ladies like matted pictures and larger pictures.

I made a title with my Cameo for this layout.

I used the faux wood technique on the base pages for this layout.

Home for Christmas layouts Close to My Heart

 Here are the 5 layouts my club made with the Close to My Heart Home for Christmas paper packet (we used 2 of them) and one Home for Christmas coordinating cardstock.  I do have lots of dies on hand as I have been making cards or pages for a long time.  So my club benefits from the dies I have on hand.  Some are Close to My Heart dies and some are not.

Cozy Up Close to My Heart layouts

Here are 5 layouts we made from 2 Cozy Up Close to My Heart paper packets and one Cozy Up coordinating cardstock pack.  I did add a little bit of extra cardstock for embellishments and some photo mats. We also used the Cozy Up dots for some glittering accents on the pages.

Christmas layouts 2022

 Made these layouts quite awhile ago and I added some pictures to them this weekend.  I find when I scrap this way I get different looking layouts.  If I just designed when I had the pictures the layouts all start to look the same. The Close to My Heart paper pack is always a theme, but you can turn it into whatever you want by the pictures and accessories you add.  I always leave room for titles and/or embellishments and journal spots.  I am not really a journal type person, but at least always put the year and who the people are.

The layout above was not one my club did as this was a Craft with Heart kit that I really liked the old fashioned looking tags, so I bought it.  The paper is printed that way and you are pretty limited to what you can do as you only have the pieces to make the design they envisioned. It has another layout or two, but for right now I choose to only use this one.  Way busier than I normally do, but I really like how this one turned out. I found some rub on transfers to add 2 more little tags at the bottom.  

This layout uses the Cedar and Pines Close to My Heart paper packet.  I did design this for my club back in Feb 2020 and the only extra accents I added now was the row of presents below the journal spot. I created this from my extensive die collection.  :)  I did make the title and penguin for my club back when we did this and they were Treasure Box Designs SVG files.

Hello Darlin layouts Close to My Heart

Here are the 5 layouts o made with Close to My Heart Hello Darlin paper packet (2 of them) and the Hello Darlin coordinating cardstock.  I do also add some extra cardstock when doing the layouts. I use dies and punches I have on hand for journal spots and accents.  I always leave room for titles or extra embellishments once pictures are placed on them  This way it does not limit what the layout can be used for.

Outdoor Fun 2022

 The title on this layout I made from a SVG file from Miss Kate's Cuttables  and the leaf dies are from dies I had on hand.  The layout I made some time ago with the CTMH Wander paper packet and I have finally added pictures to it.  I always leave room for titles and/or accents. I may have went a little leaf crazy but fall is a favorite time of year.

Halloween 2021

 Here are 2 layouts from an old Close to My Heart paper packet called Moonlight.  I made the original layouts some time ago and now I have added pictures and embellishments.  

I used Quickutz dies to make the owl, ghost and pumpkin and I used a Sizzix alphabet for the title.

I used my Cameo to make the Sherriff using the Treasure Box Designs Toy Pals file.  The bats, candy bag are Quickutz and the Title may be a set of Spellbinders dies. 

Hey Handsome layouts Close to My Heart

Below are the five layouts I made for club using the Close to My Heart Hey Handsome paper packet, (2 of them), and one coordinating cardstock packet.  I did add some extra cardstock as I used the make your own woodgrain paper that Tawnya Roberts another CTMH maker has on Youtube.  Journal spots are cut with dies I have on hand.  On these 2 of these layouts I used some of the CTMH background stamps to add some character, especially to the first layout and I love how it turned out. As always I leave spots for accents or titles when pictures are applied and my group prefers the larger pictures so I try to 4 x 6 and 4 x 4 photo mats most of the time.

Four Seasons Spring - CTMH

These five layouts were made from the Close to My Heart Four Season Spring paper packet (2 of them) and one coordinating cardstock.  I added 2 extra pieces of Capri cardstock and one of Toffee for photo mats.  There is enough paper left over to make some cards or perhaps even another layout by adding some cardstock for the bases.  I design these for my club so I always leave spots for other embellishments, accents or titles. There is always  a journal spot so they can at least add names and dates to the layouts.

Halloween 2022

This is Halloween 2022 and again I have used one of the Crisp Air CTMH layouts I did some time ago.  I did add my 2 fox paper piecing's shown in a previous post.   The pumpkins in each corner and the scallop borders were made with my Silhouette Cameo as was the title.  The leaves are ghost are from dies I had on hand.

While this is an older paper packet CTMH continually adds new papers.  If interested in any CTMH products check out my link below.  Thank youl

Fall layout using CTMH Crisp Air paper

The large moose and pumpkin were purchased from PaperPiecingMemories ByBabs, she does awesome work.  While I do make SVG files as well I am not an artist so mine never look as awesome as Babs.  The other accents were made by me with dies I have on hand.  

This layout I made some time ago with the Close to My Heart Crip Air paper packet.  I design layouts for my CTMH club every month and now I am finally adding pictures to some of them. Some people do not understand how you can design without the pictures, but I do that all the time.

First Halloween Sterling - CTMH paper

 I used the Little Bear with Pumpkin from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs on my Cameo to make the big bear with pumpkin. It is an older file so I don't think they have this exact one any longer. I love the plaid paper in this old CTMH paper pack. I made this layout some time ago and I felt the fall colors work great with my bear and title. Not your typical Halloween layout, but who says it has to be.  I added a few more Halloween accents with dies and the title I made on my Silhouette Cameo.

I used some of my Quickutz dies for the Halloween accents and some other dies for the leaves.

Alphabet-Animals-01

This is a very simple fist page in a book I am making for my grandson.  The Alphabet Animals are from Little Scraps of Heaven

 These are not from Close to My Heart, but I do add paper piecing's like this to my CTMH layouts.  The base page is Sundance CTMH cardstock.  I also used an older border punch for the sides.  The rest of the name I created with ZP Sugar Pusher font.  This is very very simple. but an fun opening page for my grandson.

Fox SVG piecing's

 These 2 files are from Little Scraps of Heaven, they are so adorable.  I have made these as my grandson as a fox for Halloween 2022 so I am making a page for that and will post the page when done.  Right now I was just making some paper piecing's to see how they looked when I made them.

These are not from Close to My Heart, but I do add paper piecing's like this to my CTMH layouts.

Daisy Daisy layouts Close to My Heart

These five layouts were made from the Close to My Heart Daisy Daisy paper packet (2 of them) and one coordinating cardstock.  I have added a little more cardstock to come up with the 5 layouts.  There is enough paper left over to make some cards or perhaps even another layout by adding some cardstock for the bases.  I design these for my club so I always leave spots for other embellishments, accents or titles. There is always  a journal spot so they can at least add names and dates to the layouts.  I have made a title with my Silhouette Cameo.  All journal spots are cut with dies I have on hand and the CTMH green dots are used on the layouts as well.
