You are Here CTMH Cricut Cartridge for the Scattered Hearts Blog Hop

Welcome to the Scattered Hearts You Are Here CTMH Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop!

  If you have arrived here from Heather's blog, you are on the right track.  

I just returned from a quick day trip down the shore.  Yep, that is what we call it here in NJ, down the shore.  It is actually south of where I live so I guess it is kind of accurate.  Both of my oldest girls had off from their jobs at the resort for the first time all summer, so I packed the four of them up and headed to Sandy Hook.  There was quite a rip current that day, but the weather was perfect for playing on the beach and swimming if you didn't mind working a little!  

I wanted to create a layout that featured the adorable seashore themed cuts out of our brand spanking new CTMH You Are Here Cricut cartridge, and of course, I wanted it to work for scrapbooking my own trip with the four kiddos.  The seashells, sand castle, waves and frames were the perfect shapes for our beach trip.  We don't have many palm trees or tropical flowers here on our beaches!!!

Oh, and that adorable little banner saying, "EAT. BEACH. SLEEP. REPEAT." just worked out perfectly too, and is also a cut from You are Here.

Although the photo of my layout in the entirety appears to have a black color for the frames and page outline, it is actually Sapphire cardstock.  It is an awful, rainy day here, and photographing is quite difficult.  I will try to update the photo asap!  The closer up photos are more true to color.

Here is a list of the supplies that I used.

No Worries Paper Pack

No Worries Complements

Gold Glitter Paper

You Are Here Cricut Collection

I love how easily the CTMH Gold Glitter Paper cuts on my Cricut Explore machine.  I do keep one blade that is designated for cutting only glitter paper.  

Thank you for stopping by to visit me on the Scattered Hearts CTMH Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop.  I hope that you are leaving here inspired!  Please hop along to the fabulous Tina Sutton at Miss Gingerdots to see what she has created for you!

CTMH No Worries Home Away From Home for the Joyful Stars Blog Hop

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

I have just recently returned from Close To My Heart's annual convention.  I had the privilege of showing off several of my projects with my fellow consultants during a Creativity Showcase.  Here is one of my creations, a one page layout that was inspired by a digital page that I had seen on Pinterest. I was working with CTMH's No Worries paper suite, and I had a full sheet of weathered wood cardstock left that I thought would be the perfect base.  I used cuts from our exclusive CTMH Artbooking and Flower Market Cricut cartridges.

Some stickers from the No Worries Complements along with a few No Worries Sequins provide some little embellishment.

I hope that you like my happy little No Worries page.  I am going to try to post the other 3 two page No Worries layouts as soon as possible. 

To continue with the Joyful Stars blog hop, please hop along to visit the talented Marie's blog.

Hello Foxy for Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Welcome to my GIRLplusPAPER blog entry for the Joyful Stars blog hop!

If you have arrived here from Krista's Crafty Corner, you are on the right track.
I really wanted to create something with CTMH's June Stamp of the Month, Hello Foxy.  I had been dreaming up a scrapbooking layout to be honest.  I set out to create, and I hit a creative roadblock.  (You see, school is still in session here.  We are still very busy with projects, studying for final exams, hosting class parties, attending never ending field days, trips and oh so many stressful things!  Including the fact that I am trying to get the house clean before my inlaws visit in 12 days!  And I will shortly be leaving for Salt Lake City, Utah for CTMH's annual convention.  I still need to create a suite of projects to present at convention, all while trying to keep a hold on my housework...yikes!)

So, instead of a layout, you will see a card that I literally threw together!

I began by stamping the wreath and sentiment from Hello Foxy.  I colored it in using CTMH Watercolor Pencils.  Why colored pencils, well because I couldn't find the right black ink to use our ShinHan markers with!  I layered papers from two different paper packs as my base.  First, the red plaid paper from CTMH Jack, followed by the ever so trendy wood grain paper from CTMH No Worries.  I love that we can mix paper packs and that they play so well together.  I finished the card with some CTMH ribbon and Gold Sequins Assortment.  And done!  I promise to have some amazing artwork to share when I return from convention, so please stop back for next month's hop.

Here is an image of the entire Hello Foxy stamp of the month set.  It can be yours for only $5 with a qualifying purchase during the month of June, or it can be purchased outright for $17.95.  If you love it, don't delay, because these little foxes won't be found come July 1st!
