Sweet Zoe Layout

 I still love the Zoe paper pack that was introduced last year.  My dear friend and fellow consultant, Julie Parkinson, had made me the most adorable card using the latte cup and round donuts cut from our CTMH Artistry Cricut Cartridge.  I just love that card so much, and I knew I had to make a layout inspired by it.  You see, another dear friend and fellow consultant, Cindy Mercurio and I had this adventure before Christmas featuring Dunkin Donuts coffee.  We were away together, attending a CTMH event, and went to get coffee.  Cindy ordered her coffee light and sweet.  In our NY/NJ world, this means with cream and sugar.  I guess that isn't the case in other states.  The man taking the order typed skim milk and Equal into his register.  There was a bit of a standoff and let's just say that he was a little annoyed that Cindy didn't want dark and murky coffee lol!  It is a story that just needs to be preserved in my scrapbook.
 
If you already have the Zoe paper in your stash and would like to re-create this layout for yourself or your customers, I am offering some basic instructions in the form of a PDF along with the Cricut Design Space file for $2.99!!!  (Please see ***note below, as the file will only work if you own the cartridges!) 

 
 If you would like to purchase the Zoe paper packet and Coral Shimmer Trim from me, I will email you the link to my Cricut Design Space file for FREE within 24 hours of your purchase.
***************************************************************
******PLEASE NOTE that you will need both the Close To My Heart Artbooking and Artistry cartridges linked to your own Cricut Design Space account to be able to use my file.
***************************************************************
My cutting file has been created to allow you to cut all of the Slate gray pieces out of just one sheet.  I have also spent time creating the pieces that are missing from the cartridges including the lid of the cup and the middle, multicolored layers of the donuts.  Every cut is color coded and grouped for ease of use.

I have also added a few details in the form of sequins and a gray twist tie on the lid, as you see below.  You can substitute any bling or ribbon that you might have in your stash for these finishing touches.

CTMH Zoe Blog Hop - Magical Layout


Welcome to our CTMH Zoe Blog Hop!  We are all excited to share our amazing projects made with this brand new paper line from CTMH.  Zoe appears in our brand new Annual Inspirations catalog that will make its premiere on September 1st, but all of the Zoe products are available now!
 
 
If you have arrived here from the very talented Jennifer Wolford's blog, you are on the right track!
 
So, onto my Zoe project...
 
 
The moment that I first set eyes upon Zoe, it spoke to me.  The cheerful colors and adorable patterns told me I needed to create a Disney themed layout with it right away.  So, that is exactly what I did.  I was very inspired by a layout that I had seen that was created by Liz Mullins Johnson.  She had created a wonderful birthday layout using a pattern out of CTMH's Make It From Your Heart instruction books.  She also included an adorable star overlay from the CTMH Cricut collection, Artbooking, that I duplicated.  Using cardstock from my Zoe paper pack, I followed the cutting guide provided in the instruction book and built my layout from there.  I decided that adding a little sparkle would be the right thing to do on the layout, so I used some Silver Glitter paper for my title and to back my little "Oh So Happy" Picture My Life card. 
 
That little card was cut out of black cardstock using the CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge.  Speaking of cartridges, did you see that fancy font that I used for the word "Magical"? 
 
 
It was cut from the brand spanking new cartridge from CTMH called Artistry.  I love that font, and all of the 700+ images that join it on the cartridge.  I also used the font from our Artbooking cartridge to cut the other words.  I enjoy being able to create my own custom titles in Cricut Design Space with my new Explore.  I am having a blast, I tell ya! 
 
 
For the finishing touch, I created some little Mickey heads out of CTMH sequins, and sprinkled some Glacier colored sequins here and there on the pages.  I will soon be sad to see some of the colors that are now available gone, as they are retiring at the end of this month :(
 
I hope that you have enjoyed my Zoe layout with a Disney spin.  Please be sure to become a follower of my blog if you would like to see more of my artwork in the future!
 
Next up in the Zoe Blog Hop is my friend, the very, very talented Cindy Mercurio with Cinful Crafts.
 
And just in case you get lost along the way, here is a list of all of the talented artists that have created a Zoe project to share with you!
