The Quilted Scrapper

Today's Throwback Thursday project uses the retired Blossom paper pack. I have been hording the paper for a couple of years and it matches perfectly  our new basement colors! I used the retired Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut everything out.

While cleaning my craft room closet earlier this month I found a 3-D star from CTMH. I decided it was perfect to go with the Jeepers  paper pack. I also added some "eyes" from the Jeepers Assortment . I used the Cricut Artistry cartridge to cut the monster and ghost.

Today's Throwback Thursday layout uses the Frosted paper pack from a couple of years ago. I did add the new Poppy cardstock to give a little pop of color. I used the Cricut Artbooking  cartridge to cut the photo mats and brrr  tab.

The basement remodel is taking up most of our time, but I did have some time today while my husband was wiring lights to get a few layouts done for our 2012 family album. Today I worked on January of 2012 (yes I am behind!). This one page layout of our tubing adventures is made using the Oh Deer! paper pack and coordinating cardstock bundle and Cocoa cardstock. 

I cannot believe it has been 2 months so I created a layout! August was so busy with last summer vacation, setting up my classroom and more. I love the new Jeepers paper pack and how versatile it is for all fall photos. I used the following CTMH products for this layout: Jeepers paper pack Blessed Beyond Measure STOM ($5 during September) Jeepers Coordinating Cardstock  Kraft cardstock  Jeepers Creepers Assortment Whisper Thick Twine

The Calypso paper pack along with the Tickled Pink Stamp  and Thin Cuts were perfect for our flamingo pictures from SeaWorld!

This simple 1 page layout is perfect for the start of the layouts from SeaWorld. I used the following CTMH products: Paper Fundamentals-Adventure Assortment Carnival Washi Tape Canary Cardstock Calypso Sequins

Simon is at a summer day camp this week so I have had time to catch up on my scrapbooking. This SeaWorld layout is created using the retired Regatta paper pack and my Cricut Artbooking cartridge.

When we went to Disney World last year my son wanted more than anything to meet Chip and Dale! We met them numerous times and different parks. However, I think Animal Kingdom was one of his favorite as he got to dance with Dale! I used the Magical paper pack and complements  from Close to My Heart along with the Disney and Friends Cartridge. I used my Cricut Artbooking  cartridge to cut the mats on the 2nd page. The title is stamp with the Amusement Park stamp set. I hope to start scrapping our Sea World pictures later this week.

Meeting Rafiki at Animal Kingdom was so much fun. He was friendly, funny and had the best poses. I used the Magical paper pack and complements  along with a retired stamp set for the sentiment.

My scrapping mojo has finally returned! After a long end of the school year and now a couple of days into break I am finally motivated to get back into scrapping our vacation photos. These pictures are an assortment of random photos I took at Magic Kingdom. I used the Magical paper pack and the Cricut Artistry   cartridge for the Magic Kingdom title. Mickey Mouse is cut out with the Mickey and Friends cartridge.

Finals are finished and the school year is over! I finally had some time this morning to work on our vacation layouts. I had pictures on my table of the Honey I Shrunk the Kids movie set at Hollywood Studios. I used the Magical paper pack along with Fern  cardstock and the Stripe Embossing folder.  I used both my CTMH Cricut Artiste and the Mickey and Friends. I am hoping to have more time later in the week to get some more vacation pictures scrapped.

Meeting Mickey & Minnie in Animal Kingdom was so much fun. I used some scraps of Babycakes I had left over. Who knew that baby paper would be a perfect match for these pictures. I used the Disney & Friends cartridge to cut all the Mickey Ears. The embellishments are from the current Magical Complements pack.

Another fun layout using the Happy Times paper pack. I am not sure what I will do this layout yet as it is a lot of pink for a family of boys! However, maybe one of my niece's birthday parties. All supplies used were from Close to My Heart : Whisper Cardstock Happy Times Paper Pack Happy Times stamp set Whisper Ink Canary Ink Fern Ink Glacier Ink Whisper Thick Twine This paper pack can be yours for free with any $65 purchase this month. Don't wait to order yours today.

One of the best reasons to take so many pictures on vacation is that you can create a mix of one and two page layouts! I love this picture of Simon that we took on the side of the castle in the Magic Kingdom. We turned it all black and white except for blue on the castle. The Magical paper pack from Close to My Heart is perfect for this and hundreds of other pictures I have to scrap! The blue paper in the paper pack is a perfect match to the castle. I used the Disney & Friends cricut cartridge and cut the Mickey ears at 9". I used a Picture My Life card in the Magic paper pack and added strips of paper to create the banners on the side. I also used the Black Shimmer Trim and White Twine. I am looking forward to scrapping many more pictures in the next couple of weeks.

The new Magical  paper pack from Close to My Heart is PERFECT for Disney vacation pictures. I cannot wait to order more pictures now to scrap. I created this 2 page layout using the Magic paper pack, compliments, and the Disney Cricut Cartridge. All supplies can be ordered here .

I am having fun creating with the Happy Times paper this month. I have been using the Make it From Your Heart Volume 2  for inspiration for all my Happy Times layouts. While there is some pink in this layout, I plan on using it for Easter pictures from last year. All products used are available from Close to My Heart : Whisper Cardstock Canary Cardstock Happy Times Paperpack Whisper Thick Twine Whisper Ink

The new Florence Paper Pack available for 3 months only is perfect for our adventures at Animal Kingdom last year. The colors were so vibrant in the topiaries that the paper was perfect for these pictures. I added a piece of Whisper cardstock and 3 sequins from the Sequins Silver Assortment.  I think my scrapbook mojo may have returned so stay tuned for numerous layouts this month! 

The May Close to My Heart special  is here to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month. You get this fabulous paper pack FREE with any $65 purchase or purchase for only $14.95. The coordinating stamp set is a must have at only $17.95.

This was a fun layout to create for a baby book I created. Close To My Heart's Paper Fundamentals  along with Outdoor Denim cardstock were perfect for this layout. I used the Cricut Artiste  cartridge for the title. The jersey and football were from the Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge. The felt footballs were from my stash and the Seahawk title and mascot were from a lanyard I cut apart.

The March Stamp of the Month, Sunshine Birdies , and Penelope  are the perfect combination to create a fun Easter layout. I have the perfect pictures from last year to put on this layout. I love how the new CTMH paper packs have two pages of Picture My Life cards. I used one for journaling and one I stamped on.  All supplies for this layout can be ordered here .

I have had so much scrapping our family vacation from last year.  Tonight I found two pictures from the Mount Everest roller coast ride that the boys did. (I DO NOT like roller coasters!) The Urban paper pack along with the Cricut Artistry Cartridge.    I look forward to working on  a few more layouts this coming week. 

I know Easter is still more than a month away, but it will be here before we know it. I had a small piece of water color painted paper left and decided the colors were perfect to create an Easter card using the Penelope paper pack. The Spring Critter stamp set is perfect for Easter this year. The sentiments I used are from the Close to My Heart Artfully Sent cartridge. All supplies for this card can be ordered here .

Spring Critters  was the perfect stamp set to make these cute Valentine's Treat tubes. I colored some of the animals in the CTMH watercolor pencils  and some of the animals are colored with the ShinHan markers. The treat tubes are from a Close To My Heart special a couple of years ago.

I have been having fun scrapbooking our trip to Florida last March. The February Stamp Campaign "Share the Love"  stamp set was perfect for the pictures with Stich from Lilo & Stitch. I used the Urban paper pack and complements along with the camera and speech bubble from the February Stamp to create this one-page layout. Here is a close up of the stamps I used and cut. 

I never thought I would find the perfect paper for the Space Mountain ride in Laughing Lola. However, the paper was perfect for the picture we received from Disney and our Disney shirts. I used the Cricut Artiste  cartridge for the space ships and planets. I created the background using the Cricut Artbooking cartridge.

The retired Close to My Heart Timberline paper was perfect for our vacation pictures of Tom Sawyer's Island at the Magic Kingdom. I used my Cricut Artbooking cartridge along with Ponderosa Pine and Outdoor Denim to cut the rope and titles. I also used Woodgrain Embossing folder on the Cocoa cardstock.

I have found the perfect scrapbook paper from Close to My Heart for our vacation photos. The Paper Fundamentals Enchantment  paper pack is PERFECT for Legoland. Of the 20 pages I have used everyone except the pink! Last weekend before football I had a few minutes to sit down and grabbed the last of our Legoland pictures. As a family we had fun and learned so much taking a Lego robotics workshop. While it was new and my 9 year old found it frustrating it was a great experience for all of us. Here is the layout that I created using the Magic  scrapbook how to book. I had some old alphabet bubble stickers from Close to My Heart that I added to explain what was happening in each photograph. It was an easy and fun way to journal!
