Four Seasons Winter layouts CTMH

 Here are four layouts using 2 packs of the Close to My Heart Four Seasons Winter paper and one coordinating cardstock pack.  I did also use some of the paper from the Mix-in pack for the strips of paper on layout one and two.  I did base the first 2 layouts on CTMH ideas for the paper pack, but as usual I have changed them up as my clients like matted photos and larger photos.  So I try to give them as many photo spots as I can and as large of pictures as I can.  I always have a journal spot as well.  Even if you only date it and add names, (which is pretty much all I do), at least you have that for reference in the future.

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.
