Help me, I'm addicted to this paper!

OK, just one more project and then I promise to show you some different paper! I am just in love with the Sorbet polk-a-dots! This is a holder I whipped up to contain all these cards!! I used the Cricut Artise cartridge to cut the small magazine holders.

Zoe Challenge Cards

I gave myself a challenge! I wanted to see how many cards I could get out of 1 sheet of B&T paper from the CTMH Zoe paper pack. I chose the Sorbet colored polk-a-dot that is double sided with Glacier houndstooth pattern. In addition to just one sheet of B&T paper, I also only used 1 ink coler and 1 stamp set. This is the current Operation Smile set that is only available for the remainder of this month called Happy Everything.

I love this set, it is perfect for cardmaking! I was satisfied to make 10 standard size cards and 2 3x3. I made them fairly simple using a couple different accessories and the new Cricut cartridge, Artistry!!

Simple yet effective! Do you like them? Just think what you could do with all the Zoe papers!

I have just a couple more but these are made with the August Stamp of the Month. This set is also great for cardmaking. It is also only available for the rest of this month so get yours today!

More Zoe!!

I finished my Zoe WSOTG just as the directions suggested.

After I finished, I had quite a bit of supplies left so I made another 2 page layout!

Then, after I finished this project, there was still more left!! I added a couple card bases to the supplies and wallah!!!

All this from just the Zoe Workshop on the go kit!! AND GUESS WHAT!! I still have a few scraps and a stamp set left!! LOVE IT!!!

Now Available!!

The new Close To My Heart idea bood doesn't go live until September 1st but CTMH as decided to release some products early!! YAY!! For the month of August, you can purchase the brand new Cricut cartridge Artistry a whole month early!!

This cartridge is also available as a download for use with the Cricut Explore and Cricut Explore Air! How great is that!! Also available is everything Zoe!!

This paper collection is so versitile and fun. The Workshop on the Go kit allows you to make 2-double page layouts. That's 4 pages with accessories, instructions and a stamp set!

As with any of our kits, you can modify them to compliment your needs but here are the layouts you can make with the provided instructions.

Aren't they adorable!! And by just reversing the paper you can change the colors! Another perk for our double sided B&T Duos!! Also, if you are more of a digital scrapper then hands on paper, check out the Zoe collection in Studio J. Visit my OBA and click on Products then Studio J. You can play as much as you want for free. When you get the layout just the way you like it, add it to your cart and be sure to get the jpeg so you can use it to make books for Grandma at Shutterfly!! Have questions, just email me!

Sharing some Creations!

Where did the time go? It just seems like yesterday that my boys were starting elementary and now it is already spring and my baby's first year of college is almost over. I miss all the commotion of boys in my house and when I get my pictures out to scrapbook, I tend to just reminisce. No more, my goal is to get some pages done! How about you? In the meantime, I thought I would share some of the crafts I've been doing since the last time I posted which was far too long ago. This is a scrapbook layout I did using the Chalk It Up paper from Close to my Heart. I really love this paper!

I'll try to take a better picture with photos on it and post later. Next are a couple more cards I made with the Chalk It Up.

These were made using the What A Hoot stamp set. It was a past stamp of the month but if you like it, I might be able to find one for you. These are a few cards I made for a wedding. I was inspired by some cards I had pinned on Pinterest. (LOVE PINTEREST!) I embossed with my Sizzix on a couple and I just love the look! The yellow card is made using the Brushed paper packet from CTMH. I love this paper pack and will be posting more projects using this paper soon. Especially since it goes so well with springtime!

OK, this next card was thrown together using some scraps from the Seaside paper packet (X7192B) I was making it with Valentines in mind so I added a little pink with the Glacier colored paper and thought it looked cute until a friend of mine said it reminded her of the 80's and her first marriage so she didn't like it. Ha ha ha, it does remind me of the pink and blue kitchen I used to have. Being such a sweet friend, I'm going to send it to her!! She'll think its funny!

Now speaking of Valentines, I helped another friend make some decorations for her family Valentine dinner. We decorated 12x12 burlap canvases and made the banner. Here's what we made:

Here is how she decorated her dining room. She is sooo talented at decorating! I have helped her with a few wedding and showers and all of them have been beautiful!

More with Chalk It Up

A couple more cards using Chalk It Up paper.  I'm really enjoying these patterns!

CTMH August Special!
