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.

Halloween 2022

This is Halloween 2022 and again I have used one of the Crisp Air CTMH layouts I did some time ago.  I did add my 2 fox paper piecing's shown in a previous post.   The pumpkins in each corner and the scallop borders were made with my Silhouette Cameo as was the title.  The leaves are ghost are from dies I had on hand.


While this is an older paper packet CTMH continually adds new papers.  If interested in any CTMH products check out my link below.  Thank youl

Fall layout using CTMH Crisp Air paper

The large moose and pumpkin were purchased from PaperPiecingMemories ByBabs, she does awesome work.  While I do make SVG files as well I am not an artist so mine never look as awesome as Babs.  The other accents were made by me with dies I have on hand.  

This layout I made some time ago with the Close to My Heart Crip Air paper packet.  I design layouts for my CTMH club every month and now I am finally adding pictures to some of them. Some people do not understand how you can design without the pictures, but I do that all the time.

First Halloween Sterling - CTMH paper

 I used the Little Bear with Pumpkin from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs on my Cameo to make the big bear with pumpkin. It is an older file so I don't think they have this exact one any longer. I love the plaid paper in this old CTMH paper pack. I made this layout some time ago and I felt the fall colors work great with my bear and title. Not your typical Halloween layout, but who says it has to be.  I added a few more Halloween accents with dies and the title I made on my Silhouette Cameo.



I used some of my Quickutz dies for the Halloween accents and some other dies for the leaves.
