The Making of a Princess

Happy Sunday everyone. It is over-cast here. Not like yesterday which was scorching and was spent outside. Got a lot of weeds pulled in my flower beds. They are coming together nicely. I stopped by Extra Foods to look at their annuals. Poor pathetic looking plants. They are long past due for a transplanting. I didn`t pick any up however since it was just William and I with his wagon. Picked up some really cute "CARS" gardening gloves for William though.

On to my Layouts. This is another layout from my 20 page workshop. I took the time this morning to take pics of all of the dominican ones I have finished so far. Hopefully William will let me get a few posted. We`ll see....

The Making of a Princess:

Materials Used were.....

 Close To My Heart: Magnifique PP and Stckease, Clear Sparkles, Spray Pen with Create-a-Shade Pearl Paint and Chocolate, Lagoon re-inkers.

Making Memories: "Making" letters

Cricut: for all the rest of the letters

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Scrapping.

Dominican Republic Layouts

Hello Everyone! Here's what I've been up to lately. I have been working on a scrapbook for my friend Jody of her Dominican Wedding. I was a bridesmaid for her wedding on February 5th, 2011 in the Dominican Republic.
I started the scrapbook in January as a 20 page workshop for my 12 for 12 group. I created it from the new MAGIC scrapbooking program from CTMH. It uses one CTMH Level II paper pack and about 20 pieces of extra CS for bases and matting, etc. I am hoping to post the actual instructions once I get all of the pages put together. I was really on a roll from Jan- Mar, but this last month I've been occupied with other things.
So today I finally picked up my camera and took pics of what I have completed so far.... Enjoy!
The paper pack I used was Magnifique from CTMH unless otherwise stated. I know I should get my fingers slapped for using other products for projects in my class, but let's be realistic. There are sooooo many other products that are perfect for this beach wedding theme.

Embellishments:

Jolies Boutique-Music Note Bling

Cinderella and her Prince-Happily Ever After Cricut carty. I also added CTMH bitty sparkles and White Stickles to her dress to resemble the pattern on Jody's dress.

Butterflies-made with CTMH arrows from Chocolate Mini-Medleys Collection and the Heart to Heart stamp set that came with the Magnifique Workshop last fall. Then I added different colours of bling on the round end of the arrow with CTMH Blue and Green Sparkles Assort.

The "First Dance" letters are from my mom's stash-so who knows?!

I cut the others words out with the Cricut using Nate's ABC's- Love this Carty!

Hopefully I'll get another posted tonight or tomorrow morning. Off to my day job. LOL!

Thanks for visiting and Happy Scrappin'!

12 for 12 scrapbooking group Layouts

Hello again. Long time no post!
I recently took over a scrapbooking group for a fellow CTMH consultant and here are the Layouts we have made so far...( all products used are Close To MY Heart)

This layout I made from the new Magic Scrapbook Program using the products in the Hooligans Workshop. I didn't make the layout in the Workshop because I wanted one that I could easily adapt with Flip Flaps.

Here they are seperately with the Flip Flaps open. These new Flip Flaps by CTMH are 4x12, 6x12, and 8x12. (4x12 and 6x12 used here)

The Layouts have a few empty spaces because I have some Non-CTMH products to add, but don't want them on there for my class.

This next one is the Olivia Workshop from CTMH

I love this new paper pack. The colours are beautiful and perfect for these fall pictures of William taken 3- yes 3 years ago. I am WAY behind!

This next layout is the additional layout found on the website that you can make with the remaining paper in your package.

This pattern can be found in the new Magic Scrapbook Program by CTMH.

Hope you enjoyed my layouts. I love CTMH!

Happy Scrappin'
