CTMH Whimsy Fundamentals Layouts for the Joyful Stars Blog Hop December 2017

Welcome to my entry for the Joyful Stars December 2017 Blog Hop.  If you have arrived here from my friend Betty's blog, you are on the right track.

Before I get to my project, I just want to share a little something with everyone.

Last weekend, I joined about 150 of my CTMH sisters in King of Prussia, PA, for a Seasonal Expressions Launch day celebration.  It was a fabulous little getaway, and we got to see all of the new and exciting things CTMH has in store for us.  Most importantly though, this event is a celebration of all of the friendships that CTMH has afforded me.  I am so blessed!  Several of the Joyful Stars Blog Hoppers were in attendance and we got to take a photo together.

So, now that you have indulged me in my little story time, onto the project!   Another thing that happened at the event was that I was part of a big team meeting, and I created and shared a big project.  The project was made out of our CTMH Whimsy Paper pack and Whimsy Complements.  It has several Flip Flaps, another favorite of mine. It starts as two pages, and each page, left and right, opens up.  I have also gone on to add more Flip Flaps, and have added some Whimsy Ribbons, although, those are not included in these photos.

I hope you liked the layouts!  Now please hop along to Debi's blog to see what creative goodness she has in store for you today.

CTMH You Are Here France Layout for the Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Welcome to GIRLplusPAPER and my entry for the August 2017 Joyful Stars blog hop.  If you have arrived here by way of Betty's blog, you are on the right track.

Today, I would like to show you another project that I created with the help of the brand new CTMH You Are Here Cricut cartridge, as well as CTMH's Flower Market cartridge.  I decided to print out some photos of my oldest daughter, Katie and I, at EPCOT's France.  We visited during the Flower and Garden show, and we were there to support my younger daughter during her FBLA competition.  While Bella was at one of her programs, we had a little time to explore the French pavillion on our own.  Anyway, I thought the You Are Here cut of the Eiffel Tower and the Girls Getaway sentiment were the perfect for match for my photos.  The layout wasn't really complete for me until it was embellished with lots of flowers from the Flower Market cartridge.

The layout bases are made from White Daisy cardstock, the floral paper is from the Adventure Fundamental Paper Packet and the blue patterned cardstock at the bottom is from the Whimsy Fundamental Paper Packet. You may also notice big photo mats of Bashful cardstock, as well as smaller mats of Raspberry cardstock.  These pieces were given to us as part of a layout kit at CTMH Convention that I did not make because I might have been too busy socializing!

You might also notice the gorgeous Bashful Glitter Paper that I used for the word "Getaway" and the little crown.  It is beautiful!  And CTMH now offers Bashful Pearls, so of course I had to make them the center of my flowers and spread some out around the layout.

Feel free to pin my photos on Pinterest, and become a follower of my blog so that you don't miss a single project.

CTMH Convention Swap Cards featuring Hello Foxy

Just a quick post with lots of artwork today!  I recently returned from the most amazing CTMH convention trip ever, in SLC, Utah.  I had wanted to make some cards to swap, but I was quickly running out of time.  Inspiration hit when I found a ton of cut up Enchantment Fundamentals paper that I was given at the 2016 convention.  I was supposed to make some cards with it back then, but I didn't love the cards and I was at Disney, so I simply never made them.  I paired those pieces with the June Stamp of the Month, Hello Foxy.  (I totally lifted the idea from another talented CTMH consultant, and now I can't seem to find her name :0 )  The stamped elements were all colored with our CTMH ShinHan markers.  I must admit, I love them more than my set of Copics, as I feel I have better control over the coloring with the shorter nibs. 

So, without making you wait any longer, here are the cards!
