Cherish Layouts - Close to My Heart

Here are 5 layouts from the Close to My Heart Cherish Paper Packet (2) and the coordinating card stock.  I have used dies on hand to make the journal spots.  I have also my Cameo to make a title and some border punches to add some borders to some of the layouts. 

The ribbon part of this layout came from another Maker, (Dana Terry).  She has a great YouTube instruction on this.  Inking the edges more dimension but as I did this for my club we did not ink the edges.  But it add an awesome touch if you do.

Christmas Story layout - Close to My Heart

These are the 5 layouts I made using the CTMH Christmas Story paper packet (2) and the coordinated cardstock packet.  I did add some extra cardstock as my ladies in club prefer to mat all their pictures and they like bigger picture spots, as do I.  So most of the photo mats are 4 x 6 and 4 x 4.  I rarely do a smaller size. I also used my Silhouette Cameo to make some of the design elements on some of the layouts. As always I use dies and punches on the layouts to add other design details. Some are CTMH and some are other vendors.

Crisp Air layouts Close to My Heart

 Here are the layouts my club is making with the Close to My Heart Crip Air paper packet (2) and the Crips Air coordinating cardstock.  I did add is some of the Mix in paper with the designs. I always give the ladies a journal spot so that you can at least write the year and people in the photos.  I am not one who journals a lot but having the names of people and the date is awesome when you look back years later.







The detailed maple leaf on layout 1 is a CTMH die.  
The other leaf on layout one is a Quickutz die. I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the title which was from Miss Kates Cuttables, but I changed it a bit. The scalloped borders were from Silhouette store and the pumpkin and leaves were from Cuddly Cute design. The journal spots were all cut with dies on hand.

Beach Party Layouts Close to My Heart

 Here are the 5 layouts my club did for Close to My Heart Beach Party.  We used 2 Beach Party paper packets and 1 Beach Party coordinating cardstock pack.  I also added some Shortbread and Daisy White cardstock to make the layouts.  There is enough paper left to make some cards or add embellishments to the layouts.  I ran out time in making embellishments so I will add those later.

Mosaic Moments laser cut layouts - 2022

Sometimes it is nice not to have to think up a design for a layout.  I had these 5 kits I purchased some time ago and I put them together today.  It is a different look from what I normally do and easy on the mind as there is no cutting.  You have to stick to the design they have, but I only get them when I like the design and the papers used.

In This Together layouts - Close to My Heart

 This is a paper packet that Close to My Heart did for the pandemic.  I didn't like the sides that had stuff like toilet paper and health things with Covid.  However, I liked the other side of all the papers so I cam up with these 5 layouts.

Tutti Frutti layouts Close to My Heart

 Here are the 5 layouts created with the Close to My Heart Tutti Frutti paper packet (2) and the Tutti Frutti coordinating card stock.  I always add journal spots to each layout usually using dies I have on hand.  I still plan to add a small sunglasses by the journal spot on the first layout.  There is still enough paper left to add embellishments, titles or perhaps even make some cards.

Fresh Paint Layouts - Close to My Heart

 Here are all 5 layouts I made with the Close to My Heart Fresh Paint paper packet (2) and Fresh Paint coordinating card stock.  I design these layout to have 4 x 6 or 4 x 4 photo mats for the most part as the people I design these for prefer to have space for larger pictures on their layouts.  I always add journal spots that I cut with dies I have on hand.  Some are Close to My Heart dies and some are not. I will be posting the individual layouts as well with a little more information for each of them.
