2 Cute 2 Scare

When my 2 year old son first saw this layout in person he cried. He was scared of the Wicked Witch of the West. The funny part is on Halloween he didn't cry when he saw my mom, however it took him a few minutes to warm up to her. This is the first Studio J layout I created. I knew I couldn't wait to get this one done because it was such a wonderful memory. I wanted to make sure it was captured and Studio J was the perfect way to accomplish it. I completed it very quickly with the new digital software and the StudioJ exclusive Halloween digi paper pack.

Going Digital

This is one of my first few layouts created in CTMH's new Digital Scrapbooking software. It's called Studio J and it's just been unveiled and ready for you to try. It really is incredibly easy! You've got to try it.

You Rock! Workshop This Tuesday night

I LOVED The single page layout on page 20 of the current Close To My Heart Idea book. I wanted to give it a go for my club. So here's my mock up minus the sewing (can't do that in such short workshop). I added the Winning Layout from page 114 of Cherish to accompany it. I think it works really well. It's rocking with this You Rock level 2 paper pack and the Star power Stamp Set. Everything is CTMH. I used the lower case Giggle alphabet stamps and a large capital S from our Dimensional Elements. The awesome new Rockin Top Coats and our white Daisy brads accent the layout very nicely. The large star is from Shining star, a very versatile stamp set. If you look close you'll see our gold embossing powder and our new Glitz glitter glue in Stardust. I can't wait to add my pictures.

A little of everything

Stamps of the Month from Close To My Heart are awesome and the March one especially. Here's a card I made using it along with the retired Key To My Heart special campaign paper and the exclusive stampset that came with the Topstitch workshop on the go.

Magical 3rd birthday

Here's a layout I did end of last year but never posted. I had lots of photos I wanted to include so I used photoshop elements to create the collage. The paper and embodiments are from Close To My Heart's Magic Moment's Kit and Mini Medley collection. The pink textured paper is Bazzil. I used the Circut to cut out the title, 3 and the cute scrolly frame. The photo is the frame is my favorite of my daughter. She looks so grown up here but oh so pretty. This layout is oh so very simple, but that's exactly what it needed with such a large collage of photos.

Spring time

It was love at first sight with the new Springtime stampset from Close To My Heart. I have been wanting to use it since I got it, but here's my first crafty item completed with it. Everything is CTMH. The paper is from the Caboodle Level 2 kit leftover from the Workshop On The Go. The Flowers are clear button, and the rays of the sun are cut up sorbet ric rac ribbon. The stampsets used are Springtime, the Clouds and rain drops are from Childhood, the puddle is from Worlds Best Dad (past stamp of the month), Rain is stamped using Elegant Script.

Snow on the Gulf Coast

Last month we had a few white clumps fall from the sky. It's really quite a thrilling event around here. I wish I would have ventured about an hour north to really have been able to play in the snow. They received about 5 inches and well the only accumulation we saw lasted about 10 seconds. Kallie loved it. Taylor was curious and then decided he doesn't like the cold. This was their first and hopefully not last experience with snow.

The photos are not that great I couldn't get the true white to show up, or just how pretty the glitter rubbons are either. Everything is from CTMH. The colors are Creme Brulee and Twilight. The patterned paper is from Aspen. I used my Circut to cut out the letters. and I painted with create a shade on the edges of the Creme Brulee cardstock. I plant to add a few more things but I wanted to share this with you anyway. I couldn't wait.
