Sangria - 3 page Layouts

Can you believe that fall is here upon us?  I have been busy working on several projects and wanted to share my newest kit that will be available till the end of November exclusively through me. 

This kit uses CTMH's newest paper, Sangria.  The beautiful paper in Sangria features colors perfect for those fall pictures like: playing in the leaves, a fun day at the pumpkin patch, fall festivals and so much more.

All of CTMH's complements, assortments, and gems match perfectly and they make is so easy to layer your embellishments that help to create beautiful artwork with easy.  Notice that I use 3D foam tape to 'pop-up' some of my embellishments making it super easy to stack and layer.

On this layout I was able to use my pictures from our train trip that we took from Durango to Silverton, CO while visiting my husband's family for our summer vacation.  The views from the train were awesome.  We had wonderful narrators that told us of their family history that was linked with the train history from that era.  I even talked to the lady narrator about her family pictures and the memories that her ancestors have passed on to her. 

 Here you can see the lovely complements work well with the Sangria assortment (flowers) for that layered look. 

I really love CTMH's new complements.  The complements include 2 - 6X6 coordinating sticker sheets (generations & medallion sticker above), kraft die cuts (heart shape), and vellum die cuts (leaves above the generations sticker).  You can really mix and match and add a lot of dimension to your layouts and cards.  CTMH makes it super easy to put your projects together like a pro!

You can purchase this 3 - 3 page layout kit exclusively through me, the TexasScrapbookingQueen at Lori.Allen94@yahoo.com. 

Your kit fee of $35 will include all of your paper pre-cut and ready for assembly along with a pack of Sangria complements, Cricut cuts, Sangria assortment, pink enamel gems, poppy twine, and coral shimmer.  This kit is perfect to take to your next crop.  Everything in a bag ready for you to create.  All you need is your adhesive and photos!

Sangria Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin' Buds Sangria Blog Hop.  Thanks for visiting Leesa's awesome page.   I really love what she created using the beautiful, new Sangria with all of the beautiful, vibrant colors.

The Sangria paper features some of CTMH's newest colors: eggplant, pomergranate, poppy, fern along with champagne, cocoa, and desert sand. All of these colors are perfect for the fall season.

My card was a snap to make.  I used left over scraps of paper and used the wonderful coordinating Sangria gems.  The coral shimmer and poppy twine works perfectly to add that extra 'pop' to any of your artwork.

Make sure you hop over and see Jamie Turner's awesome artwork! She is fabulous and a very talented artist!  I know you will love what she has created using Sangria as well.

Varsity - Volleyball

My volleyball player, Hayley, keeps us busy.  She has already had her club tryouts for her new traveling team TCA and made Varsity for Ellison High School.  We are proud of her!

I really love watching these girls play and hopefully we will have a lot of wins this year.  I am super excited, but also sad that this will be her last year.  I can't believe that Hayley is a Senior now.  Time sure has flown by.  Where did the time go?!

 

My girl is such a clown!

Buddies!

I decided to do a BIG run to Sam's to get us started for the season.  I had my friends trucked packed inside and out with goodies for the concessions stand.  Glad this is my last year for booster.  I sometimes think it is a full-time job! lol

 I have been hard at work in my craft room getting goodies ready for the Varsity team. My awesome friend Michele created this beautiful door swag for their locker room. 

 I made these name plates using my Cricut Explore and vinyl for their names. 

Cutting vinyl out on my Explore wasn't too hard once I figured out the sizes I needed.  Weeding the glitter vinyl took some time and tested my patience, but I got through all of them with vinyl to spare.  I love how their bag tags turned out.

The flip side

Well that is it for now.  I am pooped!  I just finished up their water bottles for their first home game! 

 

I just ordered chunky bubble gum beads and will be making bracelets this weekend.  Never a dull moment in my house.  I will post pictures once I get done with them.

 

Find something crafty to do and make your heart happy!
