If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the beginning and join Michelle at My Creations with Michelle. If you came from Cheryl Simpson's blog, Scrapbooking with Cheryl then you are in the right place!

To make this wreath, I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge from Close To My Heart. The flowers are from page 54 using accent 2 & the "f" key. The 12 large flowers were cut at 8" while the 24 smaller flower were cut at 3". I used our quilling tool & Liquid Glass to make the flowers and hot glue to adhere the flowers to the 12" wooden wreath.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Scrapbooking with Kirsten Jade .
If you get lost along the way, you can head to Michelle S Blog, My Creations with Michelle , as she has the complete blog list.

We hope you will join us again next month when we will feature Spring is in the Air. So mark April 15th on your calendars and hop along with us.

Today is the Big Day!!!

September 1st marks the launch of our brand new CTMH 2015 - 2016 Annual Inspirations as well as our Holiday Expressions Idea Books!! 

 

The Holiday Expressions is good from September 1st to December 31st, 2015, while supplies last. You can check them out at http://brandy.ctmh.com/

Have you had the opportunity to check out the September Stamp Of The Month? WOW!! Just $6 with each $50 in purchases~ 

The flowers and petal that are outlined in red coordinate with our Cricut Artiste Collection. That means you simply cut them from your Cricut machine & then stamp on the cut piece, eliminating fussy cutting! Check out some of the beautiful artwork created with this set~

The artwork above is stamped with our Whisper Ink and then the new Watercolour Paints are used over the stamped image. Such a pretty effect!

Family Pictures

I took today as a much needed, fun play day in my scraproom.  As usual, I created my layout BEFORE knowing what pictures I would use for it.  I find it takes the pressure off of having to be so matchy-matchy.  

I am loving the new Laughing Lola papers from Close To My Heart and decided to play with that today.  My poor Cricut was feeling a little left out so I shared the love & incorporated some fun overlays into my layout.  Do you ever wish you could get LOTS of pictures on just 1 layout?  That's when I reach for the Flip Flap Page Protectors. 

I was able to get SIX 4x6 pictures as well as THREE 3x3's to this page without it being overwhelming.  I also like how they become interactive.  

Once my layout was complete, I went to my photos and found these that went perfectly!  Hope you're inspired & ready to create.

Here's a recipe list so you too can create this layout page.  

Laughing Lola Paper Pack, Cricut Artbooking, Cricut Artiste, A typeface stamp set, Keyboard Uppercase stamp set, Flip Flaps, Lagoon Houndstooth Washi Tape, Black Shimmer Trim, Sparkles Clear Flourishes-Small and additional cardstock in Gypsy & Lagoon.
