Chalk It Up - Zip Strips

Zip strips are at the top of all of CTMH's B&T papers.  On one side they provide the colors of card stock that coordinate with the paper pack and on the reverse side is a fun, pretty border.  On my card below, upper right side, I used the Zip Strip as an embellishment.  So not only are zip strips beautiful, but they are functional as well!  Don't throw them away, use them on your next project and add some fun.

Volleyball Layout

My layout was created using Close to My Heart's Chalk It Up paper pack. 

I created a 9X9 flip flap on the right side of my layout to add some extra fun photos that girls took after they did there serious photos.  They really had a good time clowning around and got some cute photos that I had to add to my layout.  I will cut off the the 'hole' portion on the left side of my 9X9 page protector, then score it along the edge so that it opens with ease and finally add a strip of adhesive.  Voila I have a flip flap.  Below shows it open with the flap opening to the left.  Capture those memories.  They grow up so fast!

Texas Blue Bonnets

One of my favorite things about Texas is the beautiful flowers that pop out everywhere in the spring time.  Texas is known for its beautiful Blue Bonnets and Indian Paint Brush.  You can find flowers all along the highways, back country roads, and empty fields.  Steve found a great field that actually had more Indian Paint Brush then Blue Bonnets.  So on our way to one of Hayley's volleyball tournaments we took advantage of a great photo opportunity! 

For my layout I used CTMH Brushed paper.  I really love how the buttercup yellow brings out the beautiful flowers in my photos.  To create the grid look on my layout I cut a template using my CTMH Cricut Artbooking Cartridge.  I used a combination of my Pixie stamp pad and Canary stamp pad and sponge the top of my template creating this wonderful effect.  I used the Brushed Workshop on the Go stamp set to stamp the 'Oh So Happy' and 'My Heart is filled with Sunshine'.  To finish this layout off I used flowers from the Brushed assortment and Topiary washi tape along with images stamped and cut from the Brushed stamp set.

Above is my layout with my flip flap 'open' to the left.  I was able to add an additional 6 photos using a 6X6 flip flap.  I just love how my layout turned out.  Great memories of a lovely drive in Texas!

Thank You - Hopscotch

I was able to create a bunch of fun Thank You cards at the last crop I attend.  I love getting out with the ladies and making cards and layouts.  I always find inspiration in others crafts.  I made a handful of cards using CTMH's Variety of Thanks Hostess Stamp Set.  I really like the swirlyness of the THANK YOUs.  I had so much fun using CTMH's Hopscotch from the Seasonal Expressions.
