Updated Layout 2

Thursday, August 29, 2013 0 Comments A+ a-

Here's another of the updated layouts! This is in a style that I don't really do anymore, but it's still a good layout. I might revisit this style for theme scrapbooking though! It does make it easy to add images that are themed! 


Again all the paper is from Recollections. 


Updated Layout 1

Hi everyone. I found a lot of layouts that I had made but hadn't put photos on, so I am going to post them with the original post linked up! 


I didn't post the paper in the blog, I think it all came from Recollections. It's from several years ago so I don't remember the exact names. I know that it is from Michaels though because that was all I had at the time. I believe it's all from various paper pads.

Here's another video for you! It's a process and information video I made. 
It shares how I go about selecting patterns and making up a page kit. This is not a science, it's just how I go about making up my own personal page kit. As you will see that doesn't always work too. 



I made this layout a while ago and I am not sure where I put the actual layout so I can't take pictures of it right now. When I do find it though I will update with pictures. 

Thanks for visiting! 


Haul Video #1

Hello! 
Today I have a video to share with you. I promise I am going to try and have more videos and more posts coming soon! I am having a slight war with my voiceover. I can't seem to get the background noise to go away and only the voice over to be there. Any tips?



Thanks! 

Back from Vacation!

Monday, August 12, 2013 0 Comments A+ a-

Hi everyone! 

I am back from vacation now, I was gone for a beach vacation and a family wedding all in 11 days! It was a great time but now I can't wait to get back to scrapping. 

Firstly, I am starting something new for myself. I joined the group on facebook for 50 layouts without shopping. The idea is that you make 50 layouts or projects all with supplies that you have in your collection already. You are "allowed" to purchase adhesive and photos, I put that in quotations because you can set your own rules really. The purpose is just to get you using up supplies before buying new stuff. 

I haven't made anything yet, as I was on vacation, but now that I am home I am going to jump right into it. I will try and label all the ones that I make with "50 projects" so that they are easier to find. 

If you would like to join in on this challenge it is over on facebook. It is called 50 projects and you have to ask to join the group. There are lots of inspiration pictures going up every day there though! So much to look at and a great group of people. 

Secondly, another awesome facebook group is nicolejones911. She also does youtube videos with the studio calico kits if you are interested. It is the same user name as the facebook group. You also have to ask to join the group. This group is all about getting those layouts done that you have been meaning to do for so long! 

Now that I have gotten that house keeping out of the way, stay tuned for regular updates. AND I will also be putting up some videos soon! 
Keep in mind that I am not a professional youtuber or video maker and the quality of video may reflect that but I am going to try my hardest! 

Project Life: Travel Edition: You are Here

Hello! Another project life post from me today. I will try to get another card or something in here before I add anymore of these. I will be going on vacation soon, so my hope is that I have enough posts scheduled to cover the time while I am gone. When I get I will have some pictures from our vacation! 



Thanks for stopping by! 

New CTMH Catalog

Thursday, August 01, 2013 0 Comments A+ a-

Hello everyone! Today is August 1st! That means that the brand new CTMH catalog starts today! 
I am super excited for this one.
Included in the new releases is a new Cricut Cartridge called Artbooking. This cartridge is made for all of those who love to make mini albums. It sets up everything to cut out at the right ratios and does all the hard work for you! 

Also in this new collections comes the dimensional elements and 3 exclusive to the collection stamp sets. The sets are everyday type life themes. The images that stamp are incredible including arrows, frames and circles. As well as the days of the week. 
This would be a great collection for project life scrappers! 

Also new in this catalog are Hostess Reward stamps. Exclusive stamp sets that can only be purchased though hostess dollars! These sets are amazing. I will have more detail on them coming up soon, including pictures! One of them is all washi tape type of stamps, another had large words, family photo, penguins, a winter tree scene. Seriously awesome stamp sets! 
If you are interested in hosting either a home gathering (in the Ottawa, Ontario area) or an online gathering, just send me an e-mail. Which you can find my CTMH contact information either on my website or on my blog. 

Oh my goodness! The new stamps of the month are incredible! I want all of them! One is just about chocolate, all different chocolate desserts. The Christmas one is just beyond words. You all have to check them out. 

Also new in the catalog is the Crush collection. It's designed so that you can scrapbook memories on the go! The accessories that you can buy to go with the books are amazing and I think I might get some for scrapbooking on my regular layouts too! They would also be really good for project life scrappers I think. 

There are just so many amazing products in this catalog! I honestly want to buy most of them, which is amazing, but bad for my wallet! 

Sorry for the ranting about all the new products, but I seriously love all of them! I can't wait to get my hands on them! 

If you would like a catalog and you are in the Ottawa area just contact me and I will send you the link for the idea book, or get you a catalog to look at. Again if you are interested in any products visit my online website for more information and to view the products. 
If you would like any information about hosting a home gathering let me know and I will send you all the information in an e-mail!
