FREE Class with purchase of materials through my website at www.Paige.CTMH.com

The Later Sk8r paper and stickease will be retiring soon (7/31/13) from the Close to my Heart line so if you are interested in this fabulous 9 layout class, be sure to order your basic supplies (paper+stickease+flip flaps) soon so you don't miss out!  This set of pages is perfect for all the boys and their toys kinds of photos you have - kids building with legos, working on machines, men and their motorcycles, bike ride pictures, skateboard shots, Father/child shots, etc. 

Local Class:  Friday, 26th July from 6:30-10:30PM

Long Distance / Consultant Class:  Digital instructions and Cricut Craft Room File will be sent within 24 hours of materials purchase

Pre-cut Kits:  Available for $48 plus shipping

I'll also be creating a Claire set of layouts very soon for the same July crop so you can order the Claire paper and stickease which is also retiring and have boy and girl set!  I will be using the same sets of Flip Flaps with the Claire pages so you can purchase one set of 4x6" and one set of  12" Assortment Flip Flaps to cover both classes.  (EDIT:  Claire is SOLD OUT now so I'll be moving on to Surf's Up or Tommy!)

This class was designed with my friend Kate in mind.  She has two adorable little boys and a big extended family so she needs lots of places for photos on each layout.  I incorporated Flip Flaps into these layouts to allow her to bulk up on photos while still keeping room for embellishments and journaling.

CTMH Cruisin' Artist/Art Layout for Heart2Heart Challenges Photo Challenge

The Heart2Heart Challenge this week is a photo challenge - use a photo on any type of project (layout, card, home decor, etc.) and tell us what the photo is about!  How easy is that?  

This challenge was a great excuse to use some recent snap shots of my middle child at an all-school art show.  I have to confess - these pictures are actually print outs as I didn't have time to get the photos sent to  Costco so these will be replaced with higher quality photos soon.

I used the "Trap Door" layout from our Magic book and did hidden journaling under the 2012 scalloped shape.  The journaling reads:  "We were so proud of you when we found out a piece of your art was chosen for the all school art show.  I was completely blown away when I saw your self-portrait.  I had no idea you could paint like that!  I'm so proud of my artist!  Love, Mom"

Right Side

 

I wanted my paper selections to reflect the gray tone self-portrait so I kepts to the greens, gray and blacks from the pictures.  The black paper with the funky shapes doodled on it is from our new Crusin' paper pack - I thought it had kind of an artsy painter's palette feel to it.  The Juniper grid paper is from Typeset and most of the rest is cardstock and retired items (trying to use up some stash before the next Idea Book comes out!).

I can't wait to see all the fun projects people come up with to enter for this challenge!  I do hope you'll join in by making a project with some CTMH products and a photo and sharing with us at the Heart2Heart Challenges blog!

Thanks for stopping by!

CTMH Fourth of July Interactive Layouts featuring Flip Flaps, 9x9 Page Protectors, CTMH Blue Ribbon, July Word Puzzle

Here is a two page layout I made last night using some tips shared by a fellow CTMH sister to get more photos on to your layouts. On the first layout I used our new product "Flip Flaps" that hold 4x6" photos or journaling to get a couple of additional photos on the layout. What I really like about these pockets is they are made out of a really heavy duty material so they will stand up to being handled in your scrapbooks. They come with a strong self-adhesive strip that you pull and then attach either directly to your item OR you can attach them on top of the page protector as shown here so there is no cutting a slit in your protector to access the interactive element. You can even stack these little holders to make a stand alone mini book!

The right hand page (the second layout) features a 9x9" page protector laid on its side with the section with holes that you normally put through your posts simply folded over and then attached to the back of the main 12x12 layout. Here I've created layouts using our 9x9 Reflections Program (they don't show it in the current Idea Book but I hope they put it and our 6x6 layouts brochure in a new book because I LOVE these programs!). You could easily use Simply Snapshots if they match your paper OR use the dimensions from a Simply Snapshot to create the 9x9 layouts to put on top of your main layout. I only had a handful of photos from the 4th taken by my sweet neighbor Becca - thank you SO MUCH Becca for these photos! Sometimes I'm so busy doing the event I forget to break out my camera to take photos!

The fun and funky Celebrate block on the second layout was made by layering Cranberry and Outdoor Denim on a piece of Colonial White Cardstock using a plastic baggie. I embossed using Silver, Gold and White Daisy and then rubbed Cranberry and Outdoor Denim on the cardstock with my finger inside a baggie for a tie-dye effect. My son Spencer loves his tie-dye shirts. Its about time for me to place an order for more dye and make him a new batch!

Materials:
Paper: Blue Ribbon
Stamps: With Love (fireworks), July Word Puzzle, Cupcake Sprinkles (for Celebrate), Giggle Lowercase (for numbers), Rustic Alphabet
Inks: Cranberry, Indian Corn Blue, Outdoor Denim
Other: Flip Flaps, 9x9 page protectors, Embossing Powder - Silver, Gold, White Daisy and Clear Detail, Outdoor Denim Designer Ribbon Round (mine is retired but this one is new), Gold My Accents Tube (retired), Prisma Glitter (mixed with Clear Detail powder on the stars inside the 9x9 page protector)

Question: What do you use to take a picture of my son?

Answer: A "ham"-era!
(Spencer came up with the joke. This kid totally cracks me up!)
