Backyard Bliss - August Featured Collection and more!

Today is workshop day for me, so I can now share the projects I'm sharing along with some more creations I have made using Backyard Bliss - the CTMH featured collection for August! I have had fun creating with this collection. 

These first 3 layouts are very simple - just using paper from the Backyard Bliss pack and some coordinating cardstock. These pages feature my June Photo a Day pics, so I tend not to add any or many embellishments on these pages. Often my pages for these pics use just scraps left over from other projects. But I love to get the photos printed at the end of each month and onto layouts.

This layout was inspired by the one on page 19 of the NEW Annual catalogue, now available - only I created a double page layout. For this layout, I used Backyard Bliss paper, with White Daisy, Sapphire, Mist, Shortbread, Sage & Papaya cardstock. The stamped flowers are from D2122 - Floral Sentiments stamp set, the die cut leaves are from Z4654 - Sprigs & Leaves thin cuts, the stamp pads used were Papaya, Honey Butter, Sundance, Pine, Sage, Periwinkle & Sapphire, and the title is from the NEW Moments Digital Art. I can't wait to get my photos printed and onto this page.

This card was created using White Daisy, Candy Apple, New England Ivy & Sage cardstock, Backyard Bliss Digital Collection, Antique Linen Distress Oxides, Clear & Toffee Shimmer Brushes, Z8029 - Backyard Bliss cardmaking stamp & thin cuts (for sentiment), Black ink pad.

For this card I used Black & White Daisy cardstock, CM004 - Backyard Bliss cardmaking stamp & thin cuts, Intense Black ink pad, Shimmer Brushes - Toffee, Lemonade, Peach, Wisteria, Wild Berry, Avocado, Julep, CC3228 - Many Wishes stamp set, Black ink pad, Vintage Photo Distress Oxides with brick stencil, Clear Sparkles.

And this card was created using White Daisy cardstock, Backyard Bliss paper pack, CM004 - Backyard Bliss Cardmaking workshop stamp & thin cuts, M1307 - Mini Greetings - Birthday stamp set, Intense Black ink pad, Shimmer Brushes - Toffee, Espresso, Lemonade, Peach, Wisteria, Wild Berry, Avocado, Julep, Olive Green Le Pen.

 For this fun card, I used White Daisy & Lemonade cardstock, Z8037 - On The Farm stamp & thin cuts, Tutti Frutti & Backyard Bliss paper, Black Memento ink pad,Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers, Circle Thin Cut, CC3228 - Many Wishes stamp set (retired).

The Backyard Bliss collection is available till the end of September WSL. If you would like to create with this collection, you can find it on my website here! 

And don't forget to check out all the fabulous specials available now on my website under the 'PROMOTIONS' tab!

I do want to highlight a couple of my favourite specials (I know I shouldn't have favourites).

The first one is the November Album Retreat! This would make a fabulous gift! Maybe you could ask the family for an early Christmas gift, then you can use the pages created to capture all your Christmas memories. You can find all the details on my website here (including a peek at all 11 double page layouts that will be created)! 

The second special I want to share is the WORKSHOP WOW: Celebrating You special! This workshop features the gorgeous Celebrating You collection available in the NEW Annual Catalogue! The workshop has a couple of different options available - a Scrapbooking workshop where you will create 3 x double page layouts and a single page layout. And a Cardmaking workshop, where you will create 12 interactive cards - 4 each of 3 designs! These projects are all so much fun and I know you will love creating them! You can find all the details on my website here!

If you have any questions, you can contact me via my website!

Stay safe and well!

Happy papercrafting!
