Timber - the CTMH featured collection for August

I missed out on participating in the CTMH Australasian Blog Hop for the Timber collection as time got away from me, but I have had so much fun creating with this collection that I still want to share my projects with you!

This collection is perfect for all the masculine pics you have, but it is also very versatile. I did use it for many of my pics from my trip to Yellowstone NP and beyond with my daughter last year.

For my first layout, I used a Sketch by Chris Robertson (Creative Collaboration Community) as my inspiration and Kraft, New England Ivy, Ruby & White Daisy cardstock, Timber paper pack, Aurora Cricut collection, Gold Shimmer Trim &White & Gold Twine

This next layout was created using White Daisy, Ruby, New England Ivy, Espresso & Mink cardstock, Timber paper pack, Z3722 - Here & There stamp & thin cuts, Black ink pad, Artistry Cricut Collection, Aurora Cricut Collection & Stitched Squares Thin Cuts. The right page is a spinner page that I learnt from Susan Williams as part of the Creative Collaboration community.

And for this page I was inspired by Quartet - Pinwheel layout 8b - Reflections Idea Book (p107) and usedEspresso, Ruby, French Vanilla & White Daisy cardstock, Timber Paper Pack, You Are Here Cricut Collection and 6" x 4" & 3" x 4" Flip Flaps.

The last layout I want to share with you today is also a Spinner page and was created using White Daisy, Ruby, Espresso & Evergreen cardstock, Timber paper pack, You Are Here & Aurora Cricut Collections &Stitched Squares Thin Cuts.

This pocket gift card holder was another idea share by Chris Robertson and was created using White Daisy & Evergreen cardstock, Timber paper pack, Z3741 - Gnome Matter Stamp & Thin Cuts, D1283 - Say it in Style stamp set, Black Memento ink pad, Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers, Stitched Circle Thin Cuts, Gold Embellishing Thread & Diamond Stickles.

The medallion on this card was an idea shared by Susan Williams too. The card was created using Ruby, Sapphire & White Daisy cardstock, Timber paper pack, D1283 - Say it in Style stamp set, Ruby ink pad & a Silver Brad .

For this card I used White Daisy cardstock, Timber Paper pack, C1856 - Little Buddies stamp set, Black Memento  ink pad & Spectrum Noir  Tri-Blend Markers.

I often struggle with masculine cards, but for this simple one, I used  Espresso & Linen cardstock, Timber paper pack, Stitched Circles Thin Cuts, C1847 - Celebrating You stamp set, Black ink pad & White Burlap Ribbon.

This spinner card was created using White Daisy & New England Ivy cardstock, Timber paper pack, Z3735 - A Koala-ty Day stamp & thin cuts, Black Memento ink pad, Stitched Squares Thin Cuts, Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers, 3D Foam Tape & Cricut DS to cut circle for spinner. 

And my last card - another masculine one -  was created using White Daisy, Ruby, Sapphire & New England Ivy cardstock, Timber paper pack, C1847 - Celebrating You stamp set, Ruby ink pad, White Burlap Ribbon & Artistry Cricut Collection for the banner.

CTMH Happiest Place Australasian Blog Hop

Hi & welcome to our CTMH Happiest Place Australasian Blog Hop! If you arrived from Shaunna's blog, you are in the right place! If you arrived from elsewhere, I hope you will continue to hop around to see what the rest of the team has created using this beautiful Happiest Place Collection!

I have only had my collection for a few days, so haven't had much of a chance to create yet, but here are my first four projects!

My first layout was inspired by fellow consultant, Brenda Rose. I am still waiting to print photos from my daughter's birthday last month to add to the page! To create the layout, I used Black, Glacier & White Daisy cardstock; Happiest Place paper pack & stickers; Happiest Place Coordinating Cardstock' Z3714 - Hooray for Today Thin Cuts & Silver Glitter Gems. I used some 3D Foam Tape to add some dimension to the layout! I can't wait to add my photos!

For my first card, I made a slim-line card using Black, Candy Apple, Glacier, Lemonade & White Daisy cardstock, Happiest Day paper pack & the Happiest Place Digital Art Designs (for the balloons). I once again added some 3D Foam Tape for dimension behind the balloons. 

For this very simple card, I used White Daisy & Black Cardstock, Z3714 - Hooray for Today Thin Cuts, CC7206 - Happiest Place Stamp & Thin Cuts, Candy Apple, Glacier & Lemonade ink pads with 3D Foam Tape behind the bigger stars.  

The last project I want to share with you is one with pics of our gorgeous, but naughty, cat. The layout was inspired by one I created at the recent (in May this year) Close To My Heart Virtual Album Retreat. To create this layout, I used White Daisy, Black, Candy Apple, Glacier & Lemonade cardstock, Happiest Place Paper Pack, Happiest Place Coordinating Cardstock, CC7206 - Happiest Place Stamp & Thin Cuts, Black, Candy Apple, Glacier & Lemonade ink pads,  Silver Loose Sequins, Diamonds Stickles and Cricut Alphabet Circles font for the title. 
The squares on the top and bottom of the page are 2.25" circles with a 1.5" square scored in the centre, then the edges of the circles folded over. I stamped in some of the circles, added printed paper in others, sequins in some and stickles in one. All sorts of embellishments could be added to the squares!

The Happiest Place collection is available till the end of August WSL. Contact your consultant today to order yours, or if you live in Australia and don't have a consultant, I would love to help you. You can find all the details for this collection and more on my website!

CTMH Summer Vibes Australasian Blog Hop

Hi & welcome to our CTMH Summer Vibes Australasian Blog Hop. If you arrived from Lauren's blog, you are on the right track. If not, I'm pleased you dropped by and hope you will continue on our blog hop. 

To be honest, when I first saw this collection, I wasn't sure what I thought - it is the middle of winter here in South Australia and doesn't feel at all summery! But when I got my paper pack out, I realised the possibilities are endless.

For my first layout, I didn't use a lot of the Summer Vibes paper, but I did team it with the Mix In paper pack from the current catalogue! I love the colours together and they worked perfectly for my photos! My daughter, Ali, & I had a fabulous time on a coach tour to Yellowstone NP & beyond, last year. One of the many highlights was visiting this chapel in the middle of Grand Teton National Park. The chapel was built in 1916 before the area was declared a National Park in 1929. 

To create my page, I used White Daisy, Glacier, Fern, Lemonade, Candy Apple & Black cardstock, Summer Vibes paper pack, Mix In paper pack (Jul-Aug 20), Happiest Place Digital Art Titles, Happiest Place Digital Art Designs & a 3" x 4" Flip Flap. 

For the 2nd layout I am sharing with you today, the Summer Vibes paper pack and stickers was perfect. While on our trip, Ali enjoyed a White Water Rafting trip on the Gallatin River. I relaxed back at our accommodation while she had lots of fun on the river. The layout was created using just White Daisy cardstock and the Summer Vibes paper pack with stickers. I added some 3D Foam tape to add dimension to some of the stickers. And to get all the photos of this fabulous time in my album, I did add one of the Pocket Plus Protectors - Design 1 (fits up to 6" x 4" photos).

The Summer Vibes collection is available till the end of August (WSL) from your consultant, or if you live in Australia and don't already have a consultant, you can get your supplies from my website.

I would love you to leave a comment before you continue on the blog hop and see what Maz has created.
