GreatGrandma-vist-01

 I used a layout I made with my club some time ago.  When doing this I look for layouts that have the amount of picture spots I want.

I added the trucks by using a stamp and die set from Your Next Stamp.   I colored the truck with my Copics.  I have not colored for quite some time, so not perfect, but my goal is just to preserve memories.  Great Grandma with her Great Grandson. I will add names and year to this and any other thoughts to the journal spot.  

My grandson loves looking at the pages I made with him on.  This will be a keepsake for him when he is older.

Gnomes for Summer CTMH/SU Layouts

 Here are 5 layouts from the Close to My Heart/Stampin Up Summer Gnomes paper packet (2 of them) and the coordinating cardstock. I also used the CTMH/SU Summer Gnome die and other dies I had on had for embelishments.  Many of the journal spots are made from SU dies.

As Close to My Heart has closed their doors, I have now moved on to become a Stampin Up Demonstrator.  If you would like to purchase any Stampin Up products just go to Stampinup.com and search for a Demonstrator by my name Cheryl Thienes.

Gnomes for Autumn layouts Close to My Heart

 These layouts were made using the Close to My Heart Gnomes for Autumn paper and the coordinating cardstock.  I also used the CTMH Gnomes for Autumn die and other dies I had on hand to add embelishments to the layouts.

Gnomes for Spring layouts Close to My Heart

 Here are 5 layouts I made using the CTMH Gnomes for Spring paper packet (2 of them and 1 sticker sheet) and the coordinating cardstock.  As usual I added a bit more cardstock as I prefer matted pictures, as does my club.  There is enough paper left to make another layout or maybe even some cards.

On the above layouts I used the CTMH Gnome for Spring dies and the CTMH Butterfly dies from the Honey Bunny card kit.

I used the Butterfly dies again and the StampinUp pennant punch and a Stampin Up Everyday details dies.

Mix In Spring Layouts Close to My Heart

 These are 5 layouts I came up with using the Spring Mix In Close to My Heart paper packet (2) and the coordinating cardstock pack (2).

I did also add some extra cardstock to these layouts. No embellishments have been added as these layouts could be used for anything. So, I will add extra's once I put the pictures on.

Graduation layout with Serendipity and X-Factor dies.

 The first layout uses the Serendipity dies and school colors.  The second layout uses some X-Factor dies. These dies used are Mosaic Moments.

Let's Party Close to My Heart Layouts

 Here are 5 layouts I have made with the Close to My Heart Let's Party paper packet (2) and one coordinating cardstock pack. I have added some extra cardstock as well in colors that match the Let's Party paper color theme. I have used some CTMH dies on these layouts and some other companies dies as well. I always try and make my journal spots add an extra bit of a design element to the layouts.

There is still some paper left to add embellishments to the layouts or make even another layout or some cards.

Close to My Heart is closing, but now is a great time to get some good deals on things.
