Bloom Layout with Making Waves

This past weekend, I held a no frills crop.  I wanted to be free to scrapbook my own photos for a change, and that is not something that is easily done at my full service retreats.  I was able to spend quality time with some of my team that attended the crop.  One of the life events that I was able to work on was my trip to Utah for the CTMH Convention last year.  It was there that I saw a beautiful layout created by our CTMH Art Department.  I wanted to try to recreate the layout, while changing it up by using Close To My Heart's Make Waves paper.  Here is the layout.

I used many different cuts from our CTMH Cricut cartridges including Flower Market and Artistry, but the rolled yellow flower came from one of our retired Cricut cartridges.

To finish off the layout, I pulled out my CTMH Thin Cuts - Block Alphabet.  I wanted to make my title sparkle a bit, so the word "BLOOM" was cut out of Bashful Glitter Cardstock.  That is always a little difficult to photograph well, but I think you can see a little of the glitter here.  

I wonder which talented Art Department member made the original layout.  I hope that I have done her proud with my interpretation.

I can't wait to share this layout with the girls on my team.  I am thinking this would be a very good layout to make at one of our meetings.

CTMH Make Waves Be You Layout

My "Be You" layout is my third in the set of four double layouts created using the CTMH Make Waves paper Suite.  To complete this layout, I have continued to use the same exact Make Waves paper packet, Make Waves Complements, Make Waves Shimmer Trim and Make Waves Sequins and Gems as with the Shine layout and the Magical Day layout  as well as the last, not yet published layout.  That's four double layouts using just one set of everything!

Aren't those Make Waves Gems just so glittery?  To order these products and so many more, feel free to click here.  See you very soon for the fourth installment of my CTMH Make Waves layouts!

CTMH Make Waves Shine Layout

My second Make Waves Layout is a little different than the others.  I wanted to steer clear of all of the mermaids for a bit.  So, I stuck to a more general feminine theme with my "Shine" layout.  One again, I used the Make Waves paper pack, the Make a Waves Complements and the Make Waves Sequins and Gems.  One common theme with all four of these layouts that you might be starting to notice is that there aren't Cricut cuts!  I know, that's kind of unusual for me, but I went old school this time with straight cuts resulting in easy to reproduce layouts.

CTMH Make Waves Magical Day Layout

CTMH Make Waves Magical Day Layout

I think that I might have found my creative mojo again!  Do you ever go through creative slumps?  It's not fun.  I think this one was brought on by the holidays, lots of snow days and having to cut 14 Flip Flap kits that each cut up 12 pages of paper, all for a big class that I gave over the weekend.  Now that it is all behind me, I felt like having a little fun.

 

The cold and snow in Northern NJ has been brutal, so I decided to play with happy paper that reminded me of warm summer days.  The new Make Waves paper suite was just what I needed.  I created 4 two paged layouts, and I am happy to share the first layout with you today.  It is my Magical Day layout.

 

It is made by using the Make Waves Workshop Your Way, although I did not create the suggested layouts, and went my own way with it.  You could also purchase the Make Waves Paper Packet, Make Waves Complements, Make Waves Shimmer Trim and Make Waves Sequins and Gems separately if you wanted to skip the WYW. It's completely up to you.
