CTMH Miscellaneous Scrapbook Layouts

July Spotlight Collection -- Magical

This month's spotlight collection is the enchanted Magical.  While perfect for scrapbooking anything related to Disney, this primary color based pallette makes this collection perfect for documenting school and birthday memories as well as capturing the celebrations of Summer.  This collection is really versatile and great for so many of life's scrap-able occasions.  Hurry over to my online store today to bring a little Magical into your crafting -- you won't be disappointed!

I'm in LOVE...

with a paper collection -- and I'm not afraid to admit it.  LoL.    The new CTMH Magical collection is beyond magical.  From the bold, vibrant colors mixed with great neutrals to the fabulous B&T designs and bonus PML cut apart sheets, this collection is PERFECT for your vacation photos (Disney, anyone??) and your summer holiday layouts as well as birthdays, family pictures, and everyday life!

The layout I have to share with you today was created exclusively for the CTMH Spring Launch events attended by consultants back in March.  There was a collective chant of oohs & ahhs across the US when we were given out layout kit to assemble.  So much fun was had by all putting together this great layout; I just had to share it with you!!  

If you are interested in recreating this layout for your album, I've listed out the dimensions / supplies below and I've also filmed a YouTube video where I walk you through the complete collection and show you step-by-step how to assemble this quick & easy layout.

For those of you who like to watch the card come together, I've posted a process video on my YouTube channel -- click here to watch.

Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - The Long Way Home

Welcome to the June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

If you came from visiting Haley Dyer, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon my little corner of the blog world, simply start here and continue hopping until you return here -- our fun hop is one big loop for your viewing pleasure. 

The month's featured stamp set is S1606 The Long Way Home (pictured below).  This set is only available until June 30th and is only $5 with a $50 Close to My Heart purchase.

For today's project, I decided to scraplift the layout shown on page 42 of Seasonal Expressions 2 which features the SOTM set.  The first time I saw SE2 , I fell in love with this stamp set and this layout.  I think it would be a great cover page for a vacation album or summer album.  However, instead of using the Florence paper packet as shown in SE2, I used Magical -- my new favorite collection.

Supplies used:

*The Long Way Home stamp set (May SOTM)
*Ink Blot stamp set
*Documenting Moments stamp set
*Magical paper packet
*12" x 12" Black cardstock
*12" x 12" White Daisy cardstock
*12" x 12" Whisper cardstock
*Black Exclusive Inks stamp pad
*Cranberry Exclusive Inks stamp pad
*Honey Exclusive Inks stamp pad
*Sapphire Exclusive Inks stamp pad
*Whisper Exclusive Inks stamp pad
*Magical sequins assortment
