Cosette layouts Close to My Heart

 These are 3 layouts using the Cosette paper packet and coordinating cardstock.  There is some cardstock left over to use in some other projects.

I did use the Close to My Heart Doily die and butterfly die on layout 1 and layout 2 (the large butterfly - the small one is an old Quickutz)

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.
