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'

C-A-R-T-E-R

Hello All!
I have done another 8 x 8 LO for my friend's new baby boy. His name is -yeah-you guessed it. Carter. I used these adorable papers by Imaginisce that I have had since I found out I was pregnant with a boy, so 3 1/2 years. But they are so cute I couldn't resist using them in Carter's album as well.
Supply List:
Patterned Paper- Imaginisce
CS- CTMH (white) and Unknown from my stash
Stamp Sets- CTMH ( Believe Upper Case, and Simple Stitches)
Ink-CTMH (Colonial White pigment ink, and Sweet Leaf)
Markers: CTMH My Legacy Writers
I used the cricut to cut these 1 1/4" circles

I am entering this in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamps Challenge- We are all going DOTTY!
Paper Play Challenges- Anything Goes
Totally Gorjuss- Baby baby!
          Practical Scrappers- Use your # 1 Favorite Product- Close To My Heart inks are my absolute favorite product. In particular the Colonial White ( used above) and the White Daisy Pigment Ink stamp pads. They really make a stamped image stand out on a dark background.

Well that's all for now, back to finish some more, or go to bed. Not sure which will win out.
Nighty night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite!

I once again used my Cuttlebug and Sizzix plate to cut out the grass- it was left over from my last card.

The Challenges I am entering are:

Crazy Challenge- all about Birthdays

Hope you liked my card! Come visit me again soon.

I'll Miss You Card using a Bugaboo Sketch

What a crazy, busy weekend I had. I finished this card on Friday night, but never had a chance to post it until now. Because of that I missed out on the challenge that this sketch was based on. Oh well. I made this card for a special friend who is moving. She is my CTMH upline, who just happens to live a couple blocks from me now, but is moving to Toronto next week! On Saturday night a bunch of her upline got together for a little Potluck and Crop as a last Get-Together. So I actually have a couple 8 x 8 LOs to post later. Good Luck and Happy Trails Laurie! I'll miss your guidance, and friendship- but we still have phone and e-mail!
