This is the 4th layout using the Close to My Heart Comfort and Joy paper and coordinating cardstock packs.

The title is a Spellbinder die and the journal spot is just a die I had on hand and I have forgotten the maker of it.

Comfort-and-Joy-Layout-03

This is the 3rd layout using the Close to My Heart Comfort and Joy paper and coordinating cardstock packs. I love a little bit of whimsy on my layouts and I think the reindeer and lights add that.

On this layout I used the B&T paper for the photo mats.  For embellishments I used the two dies from the CTMH Yuletide Borders.  They a bit of fun.  The holiday reindeer is a Sizzix die.  The journal spot uses a Cottage Cutz wacky stitching die.

Comfort-and-Joy-Layout-02

 This is the 2nd layout using the Close to My Heart Comfort and Joy paper and coordinating cardstock packs.

On this layout I added some Candy Apple cardstock for photo mats.  I wanted to add a bit of funky with the fun tree, which I did emboss, and the deer. The tree is a Quickutz dies, the deer is a Cuddly Cute die and the Merry Christmas title and oval journal spot were dies I had on hand.  I have so many dies, that on some I do not remember the maker.

Comfort-and-Joy-Layout-01

This is the first of 4 layouts using the Close to My Heart Comfort and Joy paper packet, 2 of them,  and coordinating cardstock.  My club likes bigger pictures and more pictures so I try to always have at least 5 pictures spots.

For this layout I added some Glacier cardstock as well.  The journal spot is made with dies on hand.  The Noel title and posenita are Spellbinder dies.

Months-eleven-and-twelve-01

 The last 2 pages for this small 12 x 12 book are for months eleven and twelve. 

A scalloped border punch with holes was used to make the borders on both pages.  The animals marching in a row are so cute on this layout.  A friend made the SVG cuts for me and they are from Treasure Box Designs

Tag Party 2020

 We made fewer tags this year as our group was smaller.   Thank you to Laurie and Jean who cut some tags for the group.  While our group was smaller we had a good time.  I had a few tags left over from last year, so everyone did go home with about 20 tags.  

Some of these are die cuts, some are SVG files from Silhouette Studio store and Treasure Box Designs.

 This is a bonus layout I came up with from left over paper.  I did add 2 Sangria cardstock base pages and some Espresso and Sundance.

The Sunflower is from Treasure Box Designs Sunflower girl and the journal spot is a die I had on hand.

Bloom-with-Grace-05

This is the 5th and final layout from the Close to My Heart Bloom with Grace paper and coordinating cardstock pack.

The photo mats are using the Desert Rose cardstock and the journal spots were cut using the CTMH Stitched Rectangle dies.

There is still some paper left and I could perhaps come up with another layout by adding a bit more cardstock or make a card or save to add titles/embellishments once I put pictures on here.

Bloom-with-Grace-04

 Here is the fourth of 5 layouts my club is making from Close to My Heart Bloom with Grace paper pack and cardstock pack.  We actually bought 2 of the Bloom with Grace printed paper packs for these layouts.  We liked both sides so much, we wanted to be able to use all the papers in the layouts.

This layout I have left without embellishments until the pictures are added.  I once again used Espresso for the photo mats.

Bloom-with-Grace-02

Here is the second of 5 layouts my club is making from Close to My Heart Bloom with Grace paper pack and cardstock pack.  We actually bought 2 of the Bloom with Grace printed paper packs for these layouts.  We liked both sides so much, we wanted to be able to use all the papers in the layouts.

On this layout I added a little Sangria and Sundance cardstock for design elements.  The photo mats are in Espresso and the journal spot is in French Vanilla cardstock and it was cut with the CTMH Stitched Simple Brackets dies.

The acorn is a Quicktuz dies and it goes well with the fall colors on this layout.  There is room for a title and more embellishments once you add pictures.

Bloom-with-Grace-01

 Here is the first of 5 layouts my club is making from Close to My Heart Bloom with Grace paper pack and cardstock pack.  We actually bought 2 of the Bloom with Grace printed paper packs for these layouts.  We liked both sides so much, we wanted to be able to use all the papers in the layouts.  This design was based on a layout created by Amy Raimy another CTMH maker.  The designs are not exact, but the basic idea is similar.

For this layout I added an a sheet of French Vanilla cardstock for the photo mats and the journal spot.

The journal spot was cut with the CTMH Stitched Scalloped Brackets die.

The sunflower accents were cut with a Quickutz dies.  I have tons of dies, so I try to incorporate them in my layouts as it adds just that extra little bit of zing to the layouts.
