More Disney Pages

Wendy — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:00:29 +0000

Here are some more Disney pages from my WDW book. Papers and embellishments are things from my stash that I have collected over the years, many are EK Success. The last layout of Animal Kingdom photos uses Magic Moments papers by CTMH. (You can click on a layout to enlarge and see more detail.)

Creative Memories Cutting System

Wendy — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 05:00:02 +0000

I can’t say that I use this a lot but I would not want to be without it. I simply don’t use a lot of circles or ovals, however when I need them this is the perfect tool. There are other shapes that you can purchase to go with the system. I primarily use the circles. The template allows you to place over a photo and find the correct size you want to crop. The color of the blades correspond with the colored lines on the template. Tips for use: make sure you remove the template before cutting so you don’t cut through it. I find it easiest to use if I am standing up.

My Walt Disney World Album is Complete!!

Wendy — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:00:10 +0000

We just made it back from Disneyland last weekend and before we left I was determined to finish my book from our last vacation to Walt Disney World in (gulp) 2005! Alas, it is finished and here they are. Be on the lookout for new layouts from our recent trip to Disneyland!

I found it was easiest and quickest for this project to use a set of coordinating papers for most of the pages. You can see how I did that below. The paper is a retired CTMH paper pack.

: The Tree of Life

: The Teacups!

: Buckle Up!

: Magical

: Meeting Characters

: More Characters

: Animal Kingdom Parade

: Waiting for Fantasic to start

: Fantasmic!

Floral Delights Card

Wendy — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:00:50 +0000

Stamping techniques used:
(1) 2-Step Stamping: when you use overlap stamped images using multiple stamps to create one finished image. I used 3 different stamps for the flower on this card.
(2) Second Generation Stamping: First ink your stamp, then stamp on a piece of scrap paper (this will remove some of the ink), then stamp on your desired paper. This will give your image a softer look/color. I did this for the pink part of the flower above. I used the same color of ink but used the second generation stamping technique for the solid part of the flower, then I stamped the second image on top of it using regular stamping.

All supplies used are by CTMH: D1189 Floral Delights stamp set, D1212 Playful Flourishes stamp set, paper from Creative Basics Boom-Di-Ada Collection

Creative Memories Photo Trimmer

Wendy — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 05:00:08 +0000

This is a constant at my desk. The CM Photo Trimmer is a small cutter designed specifically for trimming photos. It is small and lightweight so it can fit easily on your desk and go anywhere with you. It cuts up to 4 3/4″ x 7″. There is a drawer on the side which can be used to store small items. The trick to straight cuts is to make sure the arm is lifted all the way up and your photo is flush along the top. Because of the top guard you would not be able to cut 1/2″ or smaller strips but I use this only for photos so it is not an issue.

CTMH June SOTM Blog Hop!!

Wendy — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 06:00:30 +0000

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring June’s SOTM, which is called Tender Tags, a set of 15 stamps.

This month we have 42 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month’s SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do – just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one!

This is a cute and simple idea that can be used for any number of occasions – just change the colors of the decorations to suit your needs. The pink strip and the flower on the top are Stickease. I filled my tube with skittles but you could add whatever to make it your own – M&M’s or other candies, even scrapbook items for a scrapbooking friend! They can be used as party favors, teacher or other thank you’s, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthday, Christmas, weddings, the list is endless!

Technique used: I used the rock and roll stamping technique on the tag. First I inked the Tender Tag stamp with Sunflower ink, next I “rock and rolled” the outside of the stamp onto the Tulip ink pad. This adds the Tulip ink only to the edges of the stamp. I then stamped the image onto White Daisy cardstock and cut it out with my Micro-Tip Scissors. Last I added the “To:” and “From:” stamps with Tulip ink.

Products used: Animal Cookies Level 2 Paper Packet, Animal Cookies Level 2 My Stickease, Tulip ink, Sunflower ink, Tender Tags stamp set, White Daisy Ricrac, Clear Sparkles, White Daisy eyelet, White Daisy cardstock, Micro-Tip Scissors, and any empty tube of Just Blooms Paper Flowers or Designer Ribbon Rounds.

Now “Hop” on over to Paiges’s Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the consultant’s blogs to get some great scrapbooking, cardmaking, and other fun craft ideas! Remember, the June SOTM is only available until June 30th! Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!
