April 16th 3rd Friday Scrapbook Group Pages......

I am pretty tickled with the way these pages turned out this month!  I REALLY love Close to my Heart's Caboodle papers!  They are so stinkin' versitle.....For my pages, I used pics of my nephew, pics of World's of Fun and pics of Ocean's of Fun.  The colors really lend themselves to quite a few different events.

Each month group meets on the 3rd Friday at 7pm and we create 6 pages from a kit for $20.  There is always paper and embellishments left over, after the 6 pages are complete that you could use to create more pages or maybe throw a few cards together! 

In addition to the paper necessary to create the pages and what is left over, the April kit contains matching Caboodle Stickease, 4 Tiny Tabs and a yard of Sorbet dash ribbon.  I supply the inks and stamps that I have used on the pages. 

If you do not live in the area, but would like to create these pages, contact me to have a pre-cut, pre-stamped kit sent to you for the same cost as club.  For just $20 (plus shipping to you) you will have everything needed to create all 6 pages with extra paper and embellishments left over for other pages or maybe even cards.

If you notice that there is no journaling on these pages.....that is because it is always the last thing that I do.  Have no fear, they will be journaled on!!

Thanks for stopping by!! 

I hope that I have inspired you to pull out your Caboodle papers, or purchase them from your favorite CTMH consultant and get some scrapbooking done!  If you would like more details on which LO's I used from Imagine and Cherish, visit my website at http://www.lovinscrappin.myctmh.com/ and go to My Art. 

How would you like to hold your OWN scrapbook groups each month?  Contact me to find out how fun and easy it really is!!  I look forward each month to my Friday night scrapbook group and I would not know what to do without my peeps!

A page of me!

This is the one and only page that I have ever scrapped of me as a child. I really need to get out the 10 photos of myself when I was little and scrap them! LOL Seriously......I am a middle child. My mom and dad have countless photos of my older sister and they have tons of photos of my younger brother. BUT for some reason, they did not have a camera when I was born. So, the only photos that we have of me were either taken by my grandma or one of my older cousins. This happens to be a photo that my cousin Doug took. The other photos that he took of me in this chair are black and white and are pretty sweet, if I do say so myself!


I am not really thrilled with the way this photo turned out of the page. The colors are so much richer in person! I used the Caprice paper pack for this page along with the matching stickease for the letters and the flowers on the border and in the corner. The ribbon is Twilight, but is retired.

I love the way this page turned out!! Do you ever have pages like that? Those are the ones that you keep going back to and everytime you see them you love them all over again? LOL I get a big kick out of going back through my scrapbooks from when I first started scrapbooking. Some pages are still just as cute to me now as they were when I was putting them together. Some pages on the other hand are lucky to still be in the album!

Thanks for hanging out with me today!

Make sure to stop back by!!

Disney's Animal Kingdom pages

My family and I took our first trip to Disney World in 2005. We loved it so much that we decided to go again in 2006 and in 2008. That means I have a combined total of over 1000 photos that need to be scrapbooked! I am so sad to say that I am just now getting around to scrapping the photos from my FIRST trip.

To make this a little bit easier on me, I decided to mass produce pages and then go back and personalize them with photos, embellishments, titles and journaling. I knew that I wanted to use the Expedition paper pack from Close to my Heart for my Animal Kingdom photos. I followed a template that I received from a talented CTMH consultant that took 1 level 2 paper pack and extra cs for bases and made 11 two page LO's from the ctmh Imagine book.

Here are a couple of the pages that I have completed so far.

All supplies are Close to my Heart:

Stamps: Rustic Alphabet

Paper: Expedition

Sticker embellishments: Expedition Stickease

Ribbon: Autumn Terracotta Ribbon Rounds

Buttons: Autum Terracotta My Accents

Autumn Harvest Brads: Autumn Terracotta, Olive and Sunflower

LO: Proof Preview in Imagine

I know that there are many out there who are able to whip out scrapbook pages with out any inspiration or help. I am NOT one of those people! That is why I LOVE all of CTMH's scrapbook programs: Imagine, Cherish and Reflections. As I post my scrapbook pages, I will let you know which CTMH book the LO came from.

Thanks for stopping by........
