Sweet Girl CTMH Blog Hop

If you arrived here from Lauren, welcome! Read on and hop around for heaps of inspiration.

This month we are featuring the first paper packet from Seasonal Expressions 2: Sweet Girl. This combination of Peach, Ballerina, New England Ivy, Fern, Sapphire, Heather, Mink, Linen, and White Daisy? So flippin versatile! Check out these patterns!

C'mon, florals, woodgrain, checks/plaids, and dots? What's not to love?!

At our recent Australasia Convention in Brisbane, we had a creative session using the Sweet Girl collection plus coordinating stampsets. I used my leftover pieces to create these cards and layouts.

Everyone needs to hear this.

My grampa's nickname for my mom was ladybug. This one is headed her way.

Inside is "girl you got this".

Baby girls can get dinosaur cards too.

This yellow and purples aren't included in the featured colors of this packet. Guess what? They still work!

Hey girl!

This is one of the creative session layouts. I've embellished it how I liked.

This herringbone was such a fussybutt to get stuck down.

This is one of the layouts I made from the scraps after Convention.

This is the last one I made from the scraps. I've no idea what I'll use it for yet!

I pulled out heaps of thin cuts from my stash for this one! Get the details here.

Fresh Air CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

If you arrived here from Vandra’s Virtual CTMH Craftroom, welcome. Join in and hop around!

This hop features our Fresh Air collection. The soft yet rugged palette of Glacier, Juniper, Linen, New England Ivy, Nutmeg, Toffee is perfect for many occasions and projects. When this collection was announced at our 2018 Convention, the room gasped. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it!

I set myself the challenge of using only the Paper Packet + Coordinating Cardstock + Complements. I created this set of layouts for my Scrap Your Stash workshops. They all come from Make It From Your Heart volume 3!

Believe it or not, these pages are being used for my Mother's Day photos. We had a family picnic lunch of fish & chips along the water at Wynnum. The textures and colors of Fresh Air are a perfect complement!

To make these projects, I used my basic toolkit plus these materials. Click through to purchase or contact your consultant. Basic Toolkit: (Versamat, Trimmer, Ruler, Adhesive Runner, Nonstick Microtip Scissors), Fresh Air Paper Packet Coordinating Cardstock and Complements, Make It from Your Heart™ Volume 3, My Legacy™ D-ring Album and Memory Protectors™ Top Load Value Pack.

I'd love it if you'd leave a comment below and pin my projects before you pop over to Lauren Moore's - CTMH Craftings.

New Sketch Idea

I love crafting my scrapbook layouts from sketches. Occasionally, I like to use sketches from other souces outside of CTMH (*gasp* shock, I know!). I trawl pinterest for ideas and one source I like is a shop from the US called Scrapbook Generation. They're a brick & mortar shop in the midwest and they also have a strong online presence. I've been using their sketches for quite a while and they're a nice burst of fresh ideas every now and then.

They offer free sketch ideas a couple times a month. This one is beautiful and uses so many photos!

{source}

This sketch was one I wanted to tackle while at Scrapbook Camp last weekend. I printed it out, popped it into my sketch book, and used the Hello Lovely range to create my layout. I haven't added photos yet, only mats and spaces.

Here's the finished layout before photos and journaling.

I love this lil cluster of stickers. It's the perfect title piece for this layout.

SG uses a LOT of banners in their sketches. I'm not a big fan of them being on every.single.sketch! However, there were some banner stickers in this Hello Lovely pack and they fit this page.

A better view of the finished layout. It was easy!

There you go, a quick layout for heaps of photos. Here's what I used to make it! To recreate it at home, shop the links and have a go! Hello Lovely Paper Packet, Hello Lovely Complements, Hello Lovely Coordinating Cardstock, Sea Glass Glitter Paper, Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors, Trimmer, Versamat, Ruler, 3L® E-Z Dots® Adhesive, SG Sketch.

More Fun with My Reflections

I am head over heels for this how to book. Seriously. I've taken over the coffee table and footstool, spread my stuff out and I've knocked out 34 pages -full 12"x12" traditional pages!- in 26 days. Yes! That many pages in that many days! Now not all of them have pictures yet as some are title pages for upcoming months in my 2014 album. Still, that's a lot to get done with using a new system! :D

Have you seen my sneak peek gallery on facebook? I've posted most of my pages there. Some are still to be shown as they're samples for an upcoming consultant challenge.

Here's what I've been up to lately. :) Are you stuck in a rut with your scrapbooking and looking for fresh new ideas to kickstart your creativity? Seriously, these ideas have revived my pagemaking. I don't normally like making pages without having photos printed first.  With these that's gone out the window! I can find photos to fit! My studio is open all week. Contact me and pop by to see these ideas being made in person and see if it's something you'd like to use in your album making. :) I'm here to help you! I may even have a slice of brown sugar apple cake waiting. (If that doesn't tempt you, I don't know what will!)

Notice the last two are the same layout idea, just tweaked a bit!

These are just some of the ideas I'm teaching in my Scrap Your Stash workshops. Contact me for your SYS time and bring your supplies over. We'll crash my dining room table and get some pages done for your projects. We'll have some nibblies, a cuppa or two, laugh and get our crafty on. :) Sounds like fun, doesn't it? My studio space is just waiting for you to come over!
