Boutique CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

Welcome to our Boutique CTMH Australasian Blog Hop! If you arrived from Lauren's blog, you are on the right track. If you arrived here by accident, then I hope you will hop around all the blogs and see what everyone has created using the gorgeous Boutique Collection! This collection is available till the end of December WSL.

My Left page was inspired by the layout on p31 of the NEW Holiday Expressions catalogue and the Right page was inspired by the layout on the back cover of the catalogue. I used Glacier & White Daisy cardstock, Boutique Bulk Paper, Boutique Complements, D1793 - Boutique Scrapbooking Stamp Set, Peacock, Glacier, Sugarplum, Peach & Charcoal Ink Pads & the NEW Sugarplum Shimmer Brush!

 I love page layouts with circles on them! So when I saw the one on page 32 of the Holiday Expressions catalogue, I knew I needed to create my version of the page. 

I used Charcoal, Glacier, Linen, Sugarplum & White Daisy cardstock, with bulk Boutique Paper, along with D1815 - Bunches of Love stamp set and Pewter, Sage, Sweet Leaf, Sugarplum & Peach ink pads. 

This layout is one I am teaching at this month's workshop, so I used my Cricut and Design Space to cut the circle & pie shapes.

I ended up with 8 of each colour, so used both sides of the cardstock to get different shades. After assembling the circle shape, I splattered some Sugarplum Shimmer around before adding the flowers. This is the link to the Design Space file. 

The Boutique collection is so versatile! Contact your consultant to get yours - available till the end of December 2018 WSL.  If you don't have a consultant, you can contact me here!

I want to share one more layout with you! This is one I created last weekend at an Album Retreat for consultants hosted by CTMH! It was a fabulous weekend with a whole album completed! I learn't lots of tips and tricks and am extremely pleased with all the layouts we completed.!

We used the Boutique paper pack and complements, along with coordinating cardstock, to create this album. 
To create the splotches of colour in the corners on this layout, we simple added some watercolour paint to cellophane and scrunched it up then dabbed on the page - so simple. On this layout we also used several of the NEW stamp set from the NEW Holiday Expressions - Snug Backgrounds (B1634), Simply Said Alphabet (C1725), You're My Top Pick (D1808) & Solid Classroom Alphabet (E1043). 

I will share some more pages from Album Retreat in the next couple of weeks, so make sure you check back to see them.

I would love you to leave a comment before continuing on to see what Maz has created.

Come back again soon to see what is NEW and what I have been creating.
