Dream Pop Magic

Life has just been super busy and we are always on the go!
I did however get a chance to play with the CTMH May National Scrapbooking Month Promotion, Dream Pop! 

 

You know how I love to use Flip Flaps to add those extra photos. Here is the same layout, but w/ the flap open.

I love how bright the colors are with this pack of paper.  Just saying the names of the colors will make you mouth water!  Banana, mint, rasphberry, strawberry, & tangerine, just to name a few of the fun colors that come in Dream Pop.

This paper pack is great for all of your Spring/Summer pictures, carnival, circus, fiestas, amusement parks, birthday parties and so much more.  Make sure you get a pack or two before the end of May.  You will have a lot of fun creating beautiful layouts and cards with Dream Pop!

Claire - Cheer

Hello Everyone~

Wow, there is a lot of great new products for both boys and girls in the CTMH Idea Book! Here is a layout I did using the new Claire paper packet.

I love how cute Hayley looked as the mascot for her middle school. The mascot before had colored the mane to be blue! Hayley worked hard to clean that stuff off and added a cute, blue bow by the lion's ear to indicate that it was now a girl lion. She is so silly. Steve and I had fun putting the head on while dancing in the living room.

Here is a close up of the layouts the flowers I used to decorate  both of the pages. I used the new Girls Rock. I was able to use my Cricut to cut out all of the flowers and leaves used on both sides. What a time saver it is to be able to use my Cricut to cut all of the embellishments for my layout.

Till next time,

Happy Scrapping

Claire - Dance

Double your delight today.  I realized that my post weren't posting to my page.  So I am catching up!
Well I love the Claire paper pack so much I decided to use it for Hayley's dance photos from middle school.

I used the Girls Rock flowers to decorate and embellish my layout with the ease of my Cricut cutting out all of my flowers and leaves.  What a breeze it is!

I took my inspiration from the cover of our new Idea Book.

I am hoping I get some time in my scrapbook room to finish up some projects and work on some new lay outs.

Till next time....Happy Scrapping,

Lori

Avonlea

So for our Christmas break this year we decided to try Colorado when there was snow on the ground!  We now have a new definition of COLD.  Waking up in the morning to a sweltering -7 is pretty darn cold if you ask me!  We had a lot of fun playing in the snow.  Of course you know I took a lot of photos.  I love how the Avonlea paper pack from Close to my Heart paper pack compliment the pictures I took.

Of course you know how I love to use CTMH flip flaps.  They are probably my #1 favorite thing to use when I scrapbook.  Below is the right side of my layout 'opened' using a 8X12 flip flap.  Using this technique allowed me to add 5 additional photos to my layout.

I am working on taking better pictures.  Hopefully my next batch will be better. ;-)

Here is a close-up of the beautiful embellishments I added to my layout to add a finishing touch to my layouts.  

 

Till next time happy scrapping.

Texas Blue Bonnets

I just love this time of year.  Everywhere you look there are flowers.  Vivid yellows, blue, sprinkled with some reds here and there.

What a great weekend!  We were blessed to have beautiful 80 degree weather all weekend.  The sun was shinning and after all of the rain we got all of the beautiful Texas Wildflowers out everywhere.  

We found a great spot that had a big field of Blue Bonnets everywhere.  We got some great family photos of us sitting in the flowers. 

Can't wait to scrap book these photos.  I plan using some of them for my CTMH Dallas Convention contest entry!  Cross your fingers for me.
