Dream Girl

Here is my little "Dream Girl".  Isn't she cute?  She is made from a stamp set called A Bushel & a Peck, which is our June 2018 Stamp of the Month from Close To My Heart.  That's right, she won't be available for purchase until June, that is, unless you are a consultant or sign up to be one during April, in which case you get this set along with three others as a bonus!  I would love to have you join my team, and you can find out more by clicking here.

I think she is just darling, and she reminds me of my second daughter, Isabella.  I also wanted to show  you this card in particular because it is made with CTMH Stargazer paper, and that will be retiring on April 30th.  Notice that the word dream is actually a card from a cut apart sheet that says "Dream Big".  My Dream Girl is colored with ShinHan Markers, and she is embellished with the now retired Heart Border Thin Cuts made with some Red Glitter Paper.

I hope you enjoy my little Dream Girl as much as I do.  I will keep posting projects made with A Bushel & a Peck until June, so don't worry, I won't let you forget about this adorable little stamp set.  Once June arrives, it will be available for only $5 with a $50 purchase on my website, andreasherman.closetomyheart.com.  Be sure to pick up some Stargazer paper before it retires in just 4 days!

Flower Market Banner by Judy Skeens

Do you happen to need a beautiful Mother's Day gift idea?

Well, look no further!  I wanted to share this very special project with you.  It was created by my friend, Judy Skeens.  Judy is a truly beautiful lady, inside and out, so it is no wonder to me that she is able to create such beauty to share with the world!   I fell in love with her banner, and immediately asked for her permission to share it with all of you.

Judy used her CTMH Flower Market Cricut Cartridge to make all of the beautiful flowers and flower pots.  Isn't it a work of heART?

I love how Judy layered so many different types of petals to build her flowers.  Thank you Judy, for allowing me to share this stunner with my blog followers!

This Is Me Cut Above Layouts for the Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Welcome to GIRLplusPAPER and my entry for the Joyful Stars April 2018 Blog Hop.  If you have arrived here from Marie's blog, NJ Stamping Queen, you are on the right track!

This month, CTMH is having so many great promotions.  For example, hostess have their choice of two different product bonuses.  One of them is the "This Is Me" Cut Above layout kit.  

The first two pages of my kit provided me with plenty of space to complete my journaling.  It is a little difficult to capture the beautiful gold foil accents on camera, but I am hoping that you can see it just a little bit.

My next two pages detailed the actual graduation ceremony.  Do you see that one little Juniper colored journaling box on the right page?  That was one of the too many boxes.  I asked Katie to fill it out, and as you can see, she is a girl of few words, at least when it comes to journaling.  Thus, the too many journaling spots comments!

The last two pages captured our time after the ceremony.  The photos on the left page are in Flip Flaps.  I was able to included 6 photos on the left page by using them.  I used a couple of the stickers from the kit to use as little handles so opening the Flip Flaps was easier.  And it looked pretty.  I did add some Gold Shimmer Trim on my right page to bling it up a bit.

Here is a little up close detail photo.  I hope that you enjoyed my makeover of the This Is Me Cut Above Kit.  I should also mention that it includes all needed page protectors, so it is an amazing deal...6 pages for only $24.95!

Next up on the hop is the talented Krista of Krista's Crafty Corner.
