CTMH Frosted Layout

I created this two-page layout for my January club layout. I absolutely love the Frosted paper and it has turned out to be my favorite paper pack from the Autumn/Winter 2013 catalog. I have used this paper pack to make thank you cards, birthday cards, Christmas cards, decorated clipboards, baby layouts, beach layouts, winter layouts, and now this layout that could be used for just about any pictures. I just love the colors in this paper pack and I am addicted to making these paper flowers! I hope I don't run out of this paper anytime soon. This layout also works perfectly for the Heart 2 Heart Two-Faced Challenge. I used both sides of the bulk paper on this layout.

Washi Tape

Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop!  The blogger in front of me is Pamela O'Connor.   The Stampers with an Attitude are excited to show artwork with Close to My Heart Washi tape plus our stamp sets, so here we go.

I must admit that while I have ordered every roll of Washi Tape that CTMH has sold, I have only used it once and just a small piece on a card so I was hoping this blog hop would give me a reason to pull it out and get creative. So yesterday that was my plan, just sit down and get creating. I must admit that since I really didn't have any clue how I wanted to use the tape that I spent a lot of time staring at it. I would start on something and then decide to do something different and start over. I really was at a loss as to what to create. So after several hours of half finished ideas, I went to bed and decided to take a fresh look at it this morning. I would like to say that I got up this morning and created that one amazing card that I just loved, but that was not the case. I did however, get up and finish each and everyone of those projects that I had started and I am pleased with the result. The tape is actually really easy to work with and I think it adds a lot to each of the cards. So, here are pictures of all the projects I finished using the Washi Tape. I can't wait to use it on other projects soon. 

I think this one turned out to be my favorite. It is a little busy with all the patterns, but I like it. 

I really like the Lifting Spirits stamp set. I had gotten to use it yet and I love that little banner for the sentiment. 

I also made a group of 3x3 cards with the scraps that were laying on the table. 

I like the look of the washi tape as a banner. So easy to create. 

The next blogger on the hop is Denise Elliott. Hop on over and see what she has created, 

New Beginnings!

What an exciting year it has been so far and we are only 6 days into 2014! I am thrilled to announce that I have been chosen to be on the Heart 2 Heart Design Team for the upcoming 2014 term! I am excited and honored to be a part of this team. I will also continue to be a part of the design team for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and for KellyCraft. I foresee 2014 being a very busy and productive year for me! Here is my fist project that I created for Heart 2 Heart. We would love to have you play along with us. For my New Beginnings project, I created a two page layout of our puppy, Sherlock. He was meant to be a Christmas present for our son Jefferson, but he arrived a little late. None the less, the kids were thrilled to meet him and he has been a welcome addition to our family.

Sentimental January

The new Scrapbooking Layout Challenge over at Heart 2 Heart this month is Sentimental January. I began thinking about a Sentimental moment that I could scrap and immediately decided to create a layout using the pictures my husband and I had taken when we were on a beach trip together in Destin, Florida in September. With four kids and two-full time and two part-time jobs, we don't really get a lot of time away together, so it was definitely a great weekend and so much fun! It truly was a chance to Make Memories Of Us!
