Playtime at Sea World Layout

Wendy — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:42:36 +0000

I have done some pages lately but haven’t had a chance to take any pictures so here’s another layout from last year:

Products used: DCWV paper, CTMH flowers, Tattered Angels glitter mist, CTMH Giggle alphabet stamps, Darice rhinestone stickers, and CTMH Cherish book.

The girls had a blast at this fun contraption within the park at Sea World in California. They just bounced back and forth! The flowers were white and I sprayed them with pink glitter mist to add color and sparkle.

CTMH New Product Blog Hop – Spring 2010

Wendy — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 01:00:20 +0000

Welcome to the Close to My Heart New Product Blog Hop. Throughout this hop you will find a variety of items all created using new products from the Close to My Heart 2010 Spring Idea Book. You can click here to view the new Idea book or to shop online.

This is part 2 from today’s earlier post where I showed you how to use the Caboodle Workshop on the Go guide to make 4 scrapbook pages and 12 cards. The layouts and cards in this post were used with the papers that were left from the Caboodle paper pack! To extend the paper I added 2 sheets of 12×12 vanilla cream cardstock for one of my layout bases and 2 sheets of 12×12 vanilla cream cardstock for my card bases.

Here are my projects all created with the new Caboodle Paper Packet:

Notice on the Joy Rides layout I added “fun” to the B&T Background paper. It was a great way to personalize the paper to fit my layout perfectly. Also, the title is stamped with the Field Trip Alphabet on the back of the paper and then cut out. To do this, place your acrylic stamp the wrong way on your block and stamp the flat side to your paper. The letters will appear backwards when you stamp them but will be correct when you cut them out and flip them over.

And something for those who do not do any girly pages – the Sweet Leaf Ribbon Rounds is a great accent to this paper. Don’t like the printed floral ribbon that comes with it? Simply flip it over and you’ve got a solid grosgrain ribbon! I used the ribbon in this way on the 1 Cool Dude layout and the Buddies layout.

These are standard A2-size cards:

These are 3×3 cards:
For the first 3×3 card I cut the oval Dimensional Element in half and attached. To make the stamped frame on the third 3×3 Thank You card I used one of the bracket-like stamps from the Fringed Phrases stamp set and stamped it on each side.

Products used are all CTMH: Caboodle Paper Packet, Imagine, Cherish – Portrait Collection (right) & Dreamy Look, Wishes – Simplicity, Field Trip Alphabet stamp set, Caboodle WOTG stamp set, Sweet Leaf Ribbon Rounds Collection, Caboodle WOTG stamp set, 3D foam tape, Solo 1 stamp set, Fringed Phrases stamp set, and Posterboard Alphabet stamp set.

You can purchase any of these items by contacting me directly, or ordering through my CTMH website.

One more thing I have to add – I can’t remember the last time I changed the refill in my ATG gun but I can tell you it was before I started all of this. If you look at all I’ve created in this post and the Caboodle Workshop post you can see that it’s a lot and I still have a about 1/4 inch of adhesive left on the roll that is currently loaded. I do not go light on the adhesive so this is a great test and it just amazed me so much when I realized it that I had to share!

Now to continue the CTMH New Product Blog Hop visit DAWN ROSS’ BLOG to see her creation! Be sure to visit all the consultants at their blogs for some great crafting ideas and see the great new paper packs, My Acrylix stamp sets, and amazing new embellishments!

This is 3 more towards my layout goal. I am now at 12 of 210.

Disneyland Snow White Layout

Wendy — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:27:33 +0000

Products used: DCWV papers, Making Memories rubon letters, EK Success Disney 3D stickers, and CTMH Cherish.

This is at Disneyland in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle. The sun was too bright to get a good picture but it was a great day for vacationing!

Disney Toy Story Parade at California Adventure

Wendy — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:28:31 +0000

Products used: DCWV papers, CTMH ribbon, EK Success vellum stickers, and CTMH Cherish idea book. Title piece unknown.

It was a gorgeous day for this parade but as you can see the girls were wearing their coats. That’s because it was a wet parade with a lot of water being sprayed out into the crowd! I had so many great pictures from this parade so I made a 3-page layout. The third page will follow the first two when I put them in my book. The Mickey hands were vellum stickers which I put on white cardstock, cut out, and added to my layout with pop-up dots.

You must have the Cherish book by CTMH in order to be able to use this template because the book has your instructions. If you do not have it yet, it is definately a great investment and I will be posting more templates for you to use. You can purchase the book from me, through my website, or through your local consultant.

Leave a comment if you like this and I will make and post more. Below are some examples of the pages that can be made with this template. The first one is using the Blossoms & Butterflies stack by DCWV. The others are some wild papers that I had (brand unknown) and I made a couple extra pages with the scraps that were left over.
