Something New!

I finally got a chance this summer to sit down and create something new. I created these two one page layouts to enter in a local fair. Both layouts got first place!

The category for this one was the Fair. I used my photos from last year's visit to the fair.

I liked the bright colours from the Zippidee paper pack(CTMH) for this layout. The fair photos had lots of colour and the papers looked great with the pictures. I used the Field Trip Alphabet and the Ticket to Ride stamp set from the Zippidee Workshop on the Go.

The second layout I entered was a special occasion with grandparents. I decided to scrapbook this year's Canada Day photos of the girls with their Gramma and Poppie on Canada Day.

For this layout I used the Vintage Canada Stamp Set from CTMH which is now retired. I decided to use only Cardstock for this layout. The Colours I chose were Cranberry, Desert Sand, Bamboo and Colonial White.

Thanks for looking!

Something Splendid!



I thought I would post this card that I made for Mother's Day. I made it using CTMH's August Stamp of the Month...Something Splendid. I used a card template from the Wishes Card Confidence Program. The paper is from our now unavailable paper pack Bella. CTMH put out their retiring list earlier this month and many items are going fast.

Our new Fall/Winter Idea Book is active on September 1, and is full of lots fun and bright new items! I have an order of new products coming soon and I can not wait to play with it! I will hopefully be posting some new creations soon!

Thanks for looking!
