My Home, My Family, My Heart

The challenge this week at Heart 2 Heart is "Home is Where the Heart Is". My heart and my home is my family. We have moved many times over the years and lived in many different places, but no matter where we are, as long as we are together that is my home and always where my heart will always be. I created this family layout to showcase our family pictures that were taken at the beach right before our son left for Marine boot camp in San Diego. Lathough we may be stretched acorss the country now, my family will always be my home and my heart! For full details on how I created this layout, check out this KellyCraft blog post.

Favorite Embellishment with CTMH Seaside

As I stated before, I have fallen in love with the Seaside paper pack. I have been creating with it all month. Today, I am going to share my all-time favorite embellishment, Natural Hemp. I love all kinds of embellishments, metal, buttons, ribbons, sequins, bling, but I must say that my go to embellishment is hemp. It literally goes with everything and when I have a spot that needs a little something extra, I know I can always add some hemp. I know it isn't in the current catalog, but I stocked up in advance so I should have enough to last until it come back (hopefully!). Check out other great embellishments this week over at the Heart 2 Heart blog.

Seaside by CTMH featuring the Spray Mist Technique

I am seriously in love with the new Seaside paper pack!! I have created so many things already with it (more posts about that later). Today, I wanted to share with you my favorite technique (currently, anyway), Spray Mist. I used the White Daisy reinker and the CTMH spray pen along with a little water to create this fun splatter look. It was so easy added a lot to the layout. I have a really hard time embracing the blank space on my layouts so this simple technique helps to add a little something to that space. Check out other great techniques this week over at the Heart 2 Heart blog. We will be making this layout for our club gathering on September 27th at 4:00 PM. We would love to have you join us!
