Florentine patchwork Layout

This is another layout that I had to scraplift from Tamatha Jenkins. If you are not a follower of her blog you should be.  Her artwork is awesome.  Think of this layout as having the left page turned 1/4 to match the patchwork and picture.  I just had to copy it some way, and since my picutres had to face this way I had to rotate.  I love how the patches pop! Hope you enjoy it. 

Florentine final Layout

Third Layout

This is the 3rd layout of the Florentine workshop.  I haven't finished the title page because I have to think of a good 1word title.  The Florentine was one of my favorite paper packets.  It has the colors for our door pictures, which is what I take a lot of.   The workshop will be Thursday March 15th. I was nervous about coloring the seambinding ribbon, but it went smoothly.  What a great idea to be able to make your own color of ribbon with what ever project.  I liked the twisted look to make a center for a flower or what ever you choose. 

Florentine Workshop

I can't believe that it has been that long since I have added a post.  Maybe because I have been sewing more than scrapbooking.  I have completed 4 pages of Florentine workshop on the Go.  I have been wanting to scrap these pictures of our California trip for quite some time. (I guess they are only 2 years old.) I wanted to use this paper right away, when I saw it in the new catalog.  The second set of pages was origionaly meant for something feminine. I hope you don't think I am too weird adding beach theme accents, maybe they are just subtle enough that it dosent take away from the layout.   I will have the last set ready in just a few more days. Let me know what you think.

Typset Layout



Each layout is for a different school experience from Trevor school.

This is the Typeset paper packet with a back to school theme. I got this layout idea from a fellow consultant, Aron Brown. I have made this 2 page layout to be each individual or a pair. In my case, I am using them as each individual title pages, but they were meant to be used together. Just make them your “own”. The first page is titled “bk 2 skl” or back to school. I have poped up the 4X6 picture of Trevor and placed a journal tag behind it. The second page has Trevors school year grade, and then the great cricut letters “fun”. So that’s how I made them to be individualized. 

If you haven't figured it out yet that I love to put banners on my pages and the Cricut cartridge from CTMH is just perfect to cut out all the different banners, in different sizes.

Frame with Flowers

I love the 3D flowers that the CTMH Cricut Cartridge makes.  I used the paper from the Wonerland paper pack.  This paper will not be available after January 31st.

Elemental Sacred Grove

Sacred Grove

I created this layout when I first got my hands on the Elemental paper. I thought that this paper reminded me of a quilt, and also this layout from the Imagine idea book.  I created this layout with that in mind.  We are at the Sacred Grove in Palmyra N.Y.  It is such a beautiful area you must be there to appreciate it.  The banner I made using the CTMH Cricut cartridge and the Pennant alphabet.  I love this chocolate stripe ribbon which is so versatile, and it comes in a roll of 5 yards.  You will be able to use it alot.  Thankfully it is staying in the new catalog.

WAIT! did I mention the new catalog?  Yes, Close To My Heart has a new catalog that will be live February 1st. I have it and can't wait for you to see the new papers, embellishments, stamp sets and much more.  Just think Super Hero.

Elemental January Club Pages

Orange County Fair using elemental paper.

When I first saw the Elemental Papers from Close to my Heart, I thought of a quilt.  So when I made our layout for Jan. I began to form a quilt pattern (sort of). I wasn't to happy with the layout so I created a new one which is not quilt like at all.  I hope you like the one I chose for our class. This layout is pictures of our trip to California, when we went to the Orange County Fair. Thus the title O.C. Fair. Trevor is not in any of these pictures because he didn't want to hang around with the two of us, so we went sight seeing without him.  I will include the other layout later.
