This layout was 100% inspired by Jill Broadbent. She did a very similar layout that was shown at CTMH’s Regional Celebration last month. I fell in love with her “furry” chipboard letters and had to recreate the layout myself. Hannah’s name is created by using CTMH’s Dimensional Elements Simple Alphabet wrapped with chenille Sassy Strands…
Sorry I didn’t post this yesterday as promised. It was a crazy day. This is the card box that I mentioned in my last post. You can fit 5-6 standard sized cards and envelopes in it. The first photo is of the back of the box with a card and envelope sliding into it. The…
I am kind of stuck on this stamp set and the color blue lately. This card is part of my March card workshop. It uses CTMH’s Simple Beauty stamp set and the “celebrate” from CTMH’s Happy Birthday set. I colored in the butterfly with Heavenly Blue and Grey Flannel markers. Then I covered the Grey…
OK. I know this isn’t a card or a scrapbook page, but I just had to share this fun (and easy) photo border treatment. First of all, I have to give credit for this adorable photo to a fabulous photographer named Wendy Whitacre of Blue Lily Photography. She took some great photos of my kiddos…

I saw this adorable dress card on Giovana’s blog and had to make one myself. The dress pattern came from this site. I used some patterned paper from Chatterbox and Blush cardstock from CTMH. The ribbon is actually from Big Lots of all places. *Ü* The card below uses CTMH’s Sweet Pea paper pack, Colonial…
I finally got a little time to play with my new Janome sewing machine. I am LOVING it! The ironic thing is that I just discovered Gina K’s posts on her blog about how to use the darn thing. Click here to visit her blog, see her fun tutorials, and enter to win your own…
I finally tried one of those fun cardstock baskets. It was a little tedious, but fun to make. Here is a link to the instructions. I used CTMH’s Honey colored textured cardstock which I love because it is darker on the inside and lighter on the outside. I sanded the cardstock and then inked the…
