Live Laugh Love

Hi all!  I have been continuing to use up some of my left over Close to My Heart paper.  This is my most recent creation.  I hope you enjoy it!  :)


For this creation I used the CTMH Love Life stamp set along with other goodies for my stash over the years. :)


For these flowers I used white flowers that I inked with Sunset and Twilght inks from CTMH so they matched the paper. 


On this second page I have a hidden journaling box tucked behind the photo mat.  I hope you enjoyed my newest creation.  As always I'm just a message away if you have questions.  Craft on my friends!
XOXO

Hi all!  I have missed blogging. The holidays kept me busy however all is back on track with my creating and crafting.  :)  What I have been up to is using up some of my old left over Close to My Heart paper.  As you know I love to make 8x8 2 page layouts.  Here is what I came up with.  I hope you enjoy it!  :)


For this project I decided to use up some of my old supplies I had on hand.  Might as well use up the stash to make room for more!  :)


Well I hope you enjoyed my creation.  As always if you have questions about things I used or techniques I am only a message away.  :)
Happy crafting all!  
XOXO

Chillin...



Hi all!  I hope everyone is having a great Novemeber so far.  I certainly am.  I had a chance to sit down and create a winter layout the other day and I wanted to share it with you all.  I hope you enjoy.  :)


For this layout I created a 2 page 12x12 layout.  The supplies I used include:
Various left over bling in my stash


First I picked out a layout design from the design guide I was interested in working with.  Then I cut the paper according to the measurements in the design guide.  I adhered the paper and decided I wanted to stamp some snowflakes sporatically (in seconnd generation Twilight).  I stamped the title.  Next I cut out the two snowflakes from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge in size 1 and 3/4 inch as indicated on the Snowflakes CTMH stamp set.  I stamped them and attached the bling.  I attached the stamped snowflake die cuts with 3d adhesive foam.  Last step I added some left over bling and bling swirls.  And here you go. 


I like how this layout turned out.  You may not think I will have any cold weather here in FL.  Let me assure you this is my first winter 8 hours north of where I used to live in FL.  I am ALREADY expereincing cold I am not used to lol!
Well my friends I hope you find the time this month to craft some great things!
XOXO
