Chelsea Gardens CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to our Chelsea Gardens CTMH Australasian Blog Hop. If you came from Vandra's blog, you are in the right place. If you arrived here by accident, thank you for dropping by. To follow the hop, please click on the link at the end and see what else the hopper's are sharing!

I LOVE all the new products in the NEW Seasonal Expressions catalogue - which has only been available since 1st January 2018! This month, the featured collection is Chelsea Gardens, so you will see lots of gorgeous projects created using this collection!

I have had lots of fun creating with Chelsea Gardens! 

This first layout was one I created to share at our recent Consultant meeting to kick off 2018! It was the perfect paper pack to use to celebrate the photos of my daughter Ali & her friends before they attended their Year 11 Mocktail Evening! 

To create this layout, I used:
White Daisy Cardstock, 
Juniper Cardstock, 
Glacier Cardstock, 
Chelsea Gardens Paper Pack,
D1760 - Chelsea Gardens Scrapbooking Stamp Set, 
Z4156 - Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts Set,  

Z4154 - Cream Ribbon, 
Charcoal, Glacier, Mink & Sweet Leaf Ink Pads, 
Water Colour Pencils  - to colour the butterflies, 
Micro Tip Scissors, 
Thin 3D Foam Tape,
Mini Glue Dots

The Chelsea Gardens Workshop Your Way kit comes with everything needed to make these 3 double page layouts and 6 cards - you just need to add a stamp set and inks for the cards! Then there was left over supplies that I have used to create more pages and cards  - some of which I shared on 1st January and others I will share soon!

In addition to the Chelsea Gardens WYW Kit, I used: 
D1760 - Chelsea Gardens Scrapbooking Stamp Set, 
Z4156 - Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts Set, 
M1186 - Happy Birthday Stamp Set, 
Charcoal, Sweet Leaf & Juniper Ink Pads, 
Water Colour Pencils, 
Black & White Dots

The Chelsea Gardens collection is available through till the end of April, from you Consultant. 

If you don't have a Consultant, then you can contact me or place an order here! 

I would love you to leave a comment before you head over to see what Nell has created!

Please come back soon and see what is NEW and what else I have been creating.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

January means a NEW Seasonal Expressions Catalogue with 4 NEW collections - which I know you will love along with a NEW Travel Organisation collection, NEW stamp sets and lots more!

The NEW collections are: Chelsea Gardens 

                                  Make Waves

                                  Stargazer

                                  Gimme Some Sugar

The featured collection for January is Chelsea Gardens. I have created a 10 page workshop with the Chelsea Gardens Collection. 

If you would like a copy of the workshop, click here for details on how to get your copy!

January is National Papercrafting Month!

And for National Papercrafting Month 2018, CTMH have designed a set of beautiful papercrafted monograms. Each comes as part of a kit containing the sturdy chipboard letter base, rose gold accents, die-cut floral embellishments, and letter stickers for customising your final artwork piece. The finished letters are the perfect size for adorning any wall in your home.

These versatile letters can also be used together to spell out a whole name or word, which is why if you buy five letter kits, you can choose a sixth kit FREE!

You can also receive your choice of letter kit free by hosting a qualifying party in January or by signing up to be a Consultant!

So far, I have made up the "A" for ALI and the "I" for INSPIRE. I added both my letters to frames that I purchased from our local KMart store, but this is not necessary.

You can order your Love Letters here! The letters are only available till 31st January strictly While Supplies Last, so don't miss out.

You can check out the NEW Seasonal Expressions here! If you would like a copy of the idea book, place an order online or contact me and receive one FREE! Or you can collect one when you attend one of my events. 

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

Merry Christmas!

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I know this time of year is not easy for all, but I hope as many of you as possible get to spend special time with family and friends - making new memories and reliving old memories!

These are just a few of the Christmas cards I have created this year! I was inspired by many people when creating these cards! Thank you if you are one who has been my inspiration in the past year!

This time last year we were enjoying the trip of a life time to Western Canada! It was less than Zero degrees Celsius most of the time we were there - a little different to the 39 Celsius it is here right now!

Don't forget to take some photos of your Christmas celebrations and get them into your scrapbook pages. I have some pages ready to add my photos to! These pages are from my Silver & Gold Christmas Memories workshop that you can find the cutting instructions to here!

If you want the Silver & Gold paper pack, order yours now as it is only available till 31st December (strictly WSL)!

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year! This year, it will be fairly quiet for us, but I get to spend the day with my gorgeous little family - including the dog and cats, and catch up with some of the extended family.

Once again, I wish you a very Happy Christmas. I pray that it is filled with peace and joy as you spend time with those you love and that 2018 brings all that you hope for!

I look forward to catching up with many of you in the New Year and I hope to inspire those I don't get to see with my creations.

Basics Fundamentals CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

Hi & welcome to our Basics Fundamentals CTMH Australasian blog hop. If you arrived from Shaunna's blog, you are in the right place! If you landed here by chance, no problem! Please join in by following the link at the end of this post. 

The Basics Fundamentals are one of my favourite collections! And they go with so much. I created this layout to add photos of my daughter's first car! Unfortunately, I haven't had time to print the photos because a busy couple of weeks and being sick. 

The day before we picked up the car, I made a banner and took it to the dealer to put on the car as a surprise for Ali. I used the same banner on my layout - only I decreased it's size to fit the page.

To create my page, I used:

MIFHY Vol 3 Pattern #2,
White Daisy Cardstock,

Sapphire Cardstock,

Basics Fundamentals Paper Pack,

Basics Ribbon Pack,

D1733 - Splash of Colour Stamp Set,

White & Gold Twine

Another project that I have completed using the Basics Fundamentals is this month's special "Through the Year" Calendar! It was so much fun to create and is only available during December, WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

The "Through the Year" Calendar Kit is available during December only from you consultant. Or if you don't have a consultant, you can get your kit from me here!

The Basics Fundamentals are available through till July from you Consultant. 

If you don't have a Consultant, then you can contact me or place an order here! 

I would love you to leave a comment before you head over to see what Maz has created!

Please come back soon and see what is NEW and what else I have been creating.
