CTMH Australasian Aurora Blog Hop

Hi & welcome to our CTMH Australasian Aurora Blog Hop. If you arrived from Maz's blog, you are on the right track. If you arrived by accident I hope you will hop around and see what everyone has created with this fabulous collection!

This Aurora collection is perfect for capturing my memories of my trip to the USA last year with my daughter, Ali. I attended the CTMH convention just out of Salt Lake City at the beginning of our trip (after a couple of days in LA), then Ali & I joined a Trafalgar Tour to Yellowstone National Park and beyond! We had so much fun! On our first night of the tour, we enjoyed a Chuck Wagon Dinner and show! Well Ali became part of the show and 'married' a 'mountain man'! She was such a good sport, but I knew she was so embarrassed at the time. But it is something we still talk about today! (And she got a free tee shirt for being such a good sport).

Anyway, as you can see, Aurora is perfect for our memories! These 3 layouts are part of the creative projects that was available as a sneak peek of the new catalogue to consultants. I did make a mistake and used the light side of the Sage cardstock on the right page, but I think it looks ok! I love that the CTMH cardstock has the option of a lighter side to choose!

The first page was created using Sage, Peacock & White Daisy cardstock, Aurora paper pack with stickers with Thin 3D Foam Tape to add some dimension.

This second layout was created using Charcoal, Sapphire & White Daisy cardstock, Aurora paper pack with stickers with Thin 3D Foam Tape.

For this single page layout, I used Peacock cardstock - both sides - and some of the stickers from the Aurora paper pack. 

The first three cards were also a part of the Launch event workshop, but I have changed the sentiments on them. They were created using White Daisy & Sapphire cardstock, with Aurora paper, Sapphire Shimmer pen & sentiments from stamps in my collection. 

These next two cards were created using the FREE SVG file available from the CTMH Blog on 10th April, to say thank you to some of the many heroes in our community today. The images on the SVG file are designed to team with the Paper Pals Thin Cuts available from you CTMH consultant. I added paper from the Aurora pack along with a sentiment from the  C1835 - Sentiments & Stitches stamp set. 

The Aurora collection is available from you CTMH consultant till the end of May (WSL). If you don't have a consultant and live in Australia, I would love to help you! You can contact me here.

The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely changed a lot about our daily lives, and we know that crafters everywhere want to be able to account for and respond to those changes in our crafting!

Use these items to preserve memories, make thoughtful cards, and incorporate current events into whatever craft projects you are working on. You can find all the info and the FREE SVG Files on my  website here (or contact your consultant). 

Close To My Heart hosted an all day NSD event on their Facebook page on Sunday 3rd May (Australian time) where they shared some great tips for putting together three exclusive projects with kits that are still available on my website (WSL). You can still go to the FB page and see all the fun videos that were created for the day. (You may have to scroll but it is totally worth it!) There are several different bundles available. 

Thank you again for stopping by! I hope you will leave a comment before you continue to hop around to see what Doris has created. 

Stay safe and well and don't forget to come back soon to see what is new and what I have been creating.
