In This Together Special

Celebrate happy memories made over the last several months with the In This Together collection! This paper suite includes a new paper packet and sticker sheet, coordinating cardstock, enamel dots, the My Acrylix® In This Together stamp set, and three discounted bundle options! 

I love the versatility of this collection! I had fun creating some layouts using it and only one of them is COVID-19 related. 

This layout was inspired by one by fellow consultant, Karen Clarke (she used a different paper collection for her layout). It features some of the papers and stickers from the In This Together collection!

This layout was inspired by fellow consultant, Brenda Rose. But for this one, I used the reverse of the paper so does not need to have COVID related pics on it. 

This layout was inspired by Layout #33 from the MIFYH Vol 3 idea book. I created the layout using White Daisy, Sapphire & Lemonade cardstock, CC2215 - In This Together paper pack & stickers, CC2214 - In This Together Dots, Sapphire Crochet Thread, Pocket Plus Design 1 Memory Protectors, Z3682 - Fancy Borders Thin Cuts,  and the title was cut using Artiste, Artbooking & Artistry Cricut Collections. 

This layout is inspired by Layout #1 from the VIP We Are Good Together workshop using White Daisy Lagoon, Lemonade & Sapphire cardstock, CC2212 - In This Together Paper Pack, C1889 - Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set, Lagoon Ink Pad & White & Gold Twine.

And this last layout was inspired a version by fellow consultant, Janice Gilhooley, of Layout #2 of the VIP We Are Good Together workshop.  It was created using Mink & Sapphire cardstock, In This Together paper pack, VIP100 - We Are Good Together stamp set, Lagoon, Lemonade, Nectarine & Sapphire ink pads &Stitched Rectangle Thin Cuts.

S2103 Winged Masterpiece CTMH Australasian Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

 

Hi and welcome to our S2103 - Winged Masterpiece Australasian Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. If you arrived from Lauren's blog, you are in the right place! If you just popped in, thank you. I hope you will continue on our blog hop by clicking on the link at the end of this post.

I love butterflies, so was very happy to see this stamp set! I have made a couple of cards to share with you today. 

The first one features the Dragonfly! To create this card I used paper from the Jan-Feb Mix In paper pack and cut it using the Stitched Rectangle Thin Cuts. The circle is the cut from Avocado cardstock and is the inside of the Shaker Circle Thin Cut (I used the frame on another project). I stamped the Dragonfly using the Intense Black ink pad then coloured it with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers. I finished it off by adding some shimmer with the Clear Shimmer Brush on the body. I used 3D Foam tape to add some dimension to my card. The sentiment is stamped directly to the card front.

For my second card I stamped the butterfly using Versamark ink, then added Silver Embossing Powder. I coloured the image using Shimmer Brushes - Peach, Plum, Sundance, Lemonade, Wisteria, Flamingo & Avocado. I matted the butterfly & sentiment with Plum Cardstock. I am very pleased with how it turned out!

The March Stamp of the Month - S2103 Winged Masterpiece, stamp set is available from your consultant for FREE with a qualifying order if you are a VIP, or for just $9.00 with a qualifying order, or you can purchase it for $34.00 without a qualifying order.

CTMH Sweet Safari Australasian Blog Hop

 

Hi & welcome to our CTMH Sweet Safari Australasian Blog Hop. If you arrived from Doris' blog, you are in the right place. If you just popped in, I hope you will continue on our blog hop to see what the rest of the team have created!

When I first saw this collection, the first thing I thought was it was only suitable for children's pages! But it is not! The collection is so versatile!

I created this layout with pictures from our annual trip to a sculpture display at one of the beach side suburbs of Adelaide.

The right page was Pinterest inspired. To create my layout, I used White Daisy, Lagoon, Candy Apple & Espresso cardstock, Sweet Safari Paper Pack & Complete Creativity Cricut Collection for the title. This layout is perfect for using up scraps of paper and cardstock. The photos on the right page are all 3" x 4" and 3" x 3" with strips of paper filling some of the gaps.

The Sweet Safari collection is available till the end of February WSL. Contact your consultant to get yours before it's gone, or if you don't have a CTMH consultant and  live in Australia, you can contact me here! And don't forget to check out all the fabulous specials available now!

I would love you to leave a comment before you continue on our Blog Hop to see what Dannii of Scrappy Chicks has created.

Stay safe and well!

Happy Papercrafting!

I have to say, this is one of my favourite collections from Close To My Heart and I will be using it for my Christmas photos this year!  So with that in mind, I have had lots of fun creating with the Serenity collection!

This layout (not a Christmas one) was Inspired by the layout on p14 of the Nov-Dec catalogue, and was created using White Daisy cardstock, Serenity paper pack with stickers, Bulk Serenity paper, Serenity PML cards & Blue Belle Shimmer Trim. It was the perfect paper for capturing these pics of my gorgeous girl at her dance club's 20th birthday celebrations!

For this layout, the page layout inspired by fellow consultant, Janice Gilhooley & the Hexagons inspired by fellow consultant, Chris Robertson, using White Daisy & Blue Belle cardstock, Serenity paper pack with stickers, Gold Embellishing Thread & finished with Gold Glitter Gems. It is ready to add some Christmas photos!

This layout is based on Chris Robertson's 4 Sheet Wonder Chevron Layout and was created using White Daisy & Blue Belle cardstock, Blue Belle Glitter Paper, Gold Foil Paper, Serenity Paper Pack, Jingle Joy Cricut Collection, Artiste Cricut Collection & Gold Embellishing Thread. I love how this one turned out and can't wait to add some photos to it!

And this layout was inspired by the Falalala layout from the Oct '20 CTMH Album Retreat (these are fabulous online events hosted by Close To My Heart several times a year where you get to create around 20 pages using lots of great techniques). I used White Daisy & Blue Belle cardstock, Serenity Paper Pack, Blue Belle Glitter Paper, Gold Foil Paper, E1060 - Home for Christmas stamp set (exclusive Album Retreat set), Blue Belle, Toffee & Black ink pads, Distress Oxide ink pads - Faded Jeans & Antique Linen & Stitched Circle Embossing Folder. I am really pleased with how it turned out! 

The Serenity collection is available till the end of December - WSL! Contact your consultant to get yours today, or if you don't have a consultant and live in Australia, I would love to help you. You can contact me and find the Serenity collection and much more on my website! Don't forget to check out all the current specials available too!
