Easter Layout featuring CTMH Penelope Paper

Happy Easter everyone!  Today I would like to share a layout that I just finished.  It is made entirely out of the Penelope paper line from Close To My Heart.  I have featured many Cricut cuts from our exclusive line of cartridges from CTMH.  The pear colored photo mat was embossed with a CTMH embossing folder called Confetti.  A couple of Gold Bling Gems to dot my "I"s in Hippity, and I was done.  I hope you like the layout!  Be sure to order your Penelope paper before it is gone, it is scheduled to depart at the end of April, or when quantities run out, whichever comes first!!!

 

CTMH Penelope Layout

In my previous post, I mentioned looking at pieces left over from another layout featuring the Penelope paper pack.  Here is that layout!  I love the bright color palette that Penelope features, wouldn't you agree it is amazing?  I paired the layout with some Green Shimmer Trim, and stamped images from the upcoming, March 2016, Stamp of the Month from CTMH entitled "Sunshine Birdies".  It will be available for purchase beginning on March 1st, and it is only $5 with a qualifying purchase of $50 or more in product.  I colored in the stamped images with our CTMH ShinHan Markers.  I love the way this layout turned out.  It really brightens a dreary winter day with thoughts of Spring!

 

 

CTMH Lucky Layout for the Joyful Stars Blog Hop

 

Welcome to my blog post for the Joyful Stars February 2016 Blog Hop.  If you have arrived here from Lori's blog,  craftymeadows.blogspot.com, you are on the correct path.

 

I was looking at some pieces from my Penelope paper pack that I had left after creating another layout.  (I might still need to post that one lol!)  I had quite a bit of green patterned cardstock left.  I also recently purchased some Green Glitter Paper from our Clearance section (at a great price, while supplies last) and the two screamed St. Patrick's Day layout to me.  All of the cuts were made from my Close To My Heart Cricut cartridges, many are actually cards from our Artfully Sent cartridge.  I love using my cartridges in unexpected ways. A few Bling Gems in Gold, a bow from some old ribbon I had in my CTMH stash, and some old Fundamentals paper for the dark green shamrocks complete the look.

 

I plan on scrapping one of my own trips into the city, New York City that is, where my daughter marched in the St. Patrick's Day Parade throughout high school.  Now to find those photos among the millions that reside on my computer!

Next stop on your hop will be Donna's blog, http://www.hintsofhappiness.com/.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope that you enjoyed my layout and are inspired to make your own.  I plan on releasing my cutting file soon to help you with the sizing of everything, so please check back.
