June Scrapbook Group Pages-Splendor

So, for those who are attending group this month, these are the 6 pages that you will be creating!!  I am SO excited for this month for a couple of reasons......1) Splendor is the CUTEST paper pack ever!  OK SO I may have said that about a few other CTMH paper packs, but this one is right up there with the cutest EVER!!  2) We will be creating a 2 page LO that has 15 photos on it!!  YEP 15 photos!  It is from the Cherish Book called Fab 15.

For those who are NOT attending group this month, WHY NOT??  I understand if you are a group member and you have things that come up that prevent you from attending.....BUT for those who are NOT group members.....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

The last 2 pages have the matching Stickease on them, but they are not included in the June kit.  I had to choose, Pizzazz Dimensional Elements, OR Stickease......so I chose the Dimensional Elements.  TOO MUCH FUN!!

Group is $20 a month and you create 6 scrapbook pages EACH AND EVERY MONTH!!  So, if you join group for 10 months, you have 60 scrapbook pages to put into albums!!  OR maybe you don't want to commit to a group.....THAT'S OK.....attend as a guest when you can!

There are SO many benefits to attending a monthly scrapbook group......1) You get a FREE Idea Book for as long as you attend group.  2)  You create 6 pages EACH month.  3)  You get a night out with the girls each month.  4) You learn a new technique or use a new product that will help you grow in your scrapbooking and papercrafting.   What more could you want??  LOL  Don't answer that!

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope that I have inspire you to want to check out my monthly scrapbook group!!  We have a TON of fun AND we get work done too......  If you don't live close by...that's ok too!  You can still create pages using the Splendor Papers, just by ordering them from my website OR from your favorite CTMH consultant!

Papers: Splendor

CTMH 6x6 Board Book and Topstitch Level 1 Scrapbook Kit

I don't make too many mini albums.  I LOVE the way they turn out, but when I scrapbook I like to have my photos all in my 12x12 albums.  Not sure why....guess I am a creature of habit.  BUT I have to tell you, I REALLY liked the way this board book turned out!  I took it with me to my brother's house the other day to show my family the pics of my dd and nephews from 14 years ago.  It was a HUGE hit!

Which gave me the idea to make one for my parents of their 48th anniversary party that we had at my brother's on Sunday.  I am waiting on another board book and a couple of different Level 1 Scrapbook Kits to get here so I can get started on another one!!

For this Board Book I used the Topstitch Level 1 Scrapbook Kit and cut each of the 4 pre-made LO's into 4ths.  So you have 16  6x6 pieces of paper.  You only need 12 for the book.  The other 4 you can make into 6x6 cards OR cut them down to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I did use the other cardstock and printed paper that comes with the kit, but you will still have a TON left over to make cards or other projects with.

On to the book......

Supplies used:
Paper: My Reflections Level 1 Topstitch scrapbook kit
Ink: Chocolate
Embellishments: Sparkles
Board Book CTMH

Thanks for stopping by!!

I hope that I have inspired you to make a mini album!  Close to my Heart has several different "Mini" books that are 6x6.  Check them out online either on my website www.lovinscrappin.myctmh.com OR on your favorite CTMH consultant's website!

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!

June Unit Swap Card using Cherry-O

Yesterday I attended the monthly unit meeting that my upline Shari holds.  I look forward each month to attending the unit meeting and am thankful to Shari for providing such a fun and informative night each month for her downline! 

I have been a bit busy creating art for convention coming up in a month that I am not able to share with you all quite yet!  It has been SO hard to not be able to share my creations with anyone.....but I guess good things come to those who wait??  Not sure if that really applies here, but it sounded good anyhow!  LOL

Onto my card!  This is a 6x6 card pattern that came from the Wishes book.  Each month I try to challenge myself by choosing a swap item that I usually don't create for myself.  This month was the 6x6 and I actually had fun putting this together YESTERDAY just hours before unit meeting.  I only had to make 11 of them....uugghhh when will I learn??  LOL

Supplies used:
Paper: Cherry-O, Crystal Blue CS is distressed with Crystal Blue ink
Ink: Crystal Blue, Chocolate and Tulip
Stamps: Thank You, Summer Wishes (Splendor WOTG Kit) and Spot on Backgrounds
Embellishments: Sweet Leaf Ribbon, Basic Buttons (colonial white used) Cherry-O Opaques, Cranberry Waxy Flax, Spring Blossom Just Blooms
Tools: 1 1/4 Circle Punch

Thanks for stopping by! 

I hope that this has inspired you to step out of your comfort zone and create a card size that you normally don't make OR give......

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!!
