Girly Girl with Kaleidoscope & Let's Scrap...

I'm soooooo excited about this week's sketch from Let's Scrap...LOVE all the white space, the 4x3 photo wells and the pennants on the outside.

Let's take a look at my layout using CTMH's Kaleidoscope...


Here's a look at the sketch...

Don't forget to play along with us for a chance to WIN some goodies from this week's sponsor...Dr. Digi's

Stoked with Urban & Feeling Sketchy...

The middle of December not only means that there's only 11 days 'till CHRISTMAS but it also means that it's time for a sketch for Feeling Sketchy!

This time I've decided to do a layout...because I have waaaayyyyyy too many cards...lol.

This layout uses CTMH's Urban and the newest Cricut Cartridge Collection, Artistry! First, let's see the layout without a picture!

------------------------------------
Here's the layout with a picture on it! I originally meant for this to be a 5x7 photo but I had this 4x6 one of my oldest son and just had to use it. My accompanying layout will probably have the journalling explaining his first camping trip with my sister and her family...he had so much FUN!
------------------------------------------------
Here are some close-ups...



---------------------------------------
The cutest little arrow stamp comes with the Urban WOTG...I stamped it in the corners to spruce up the outside frame.

Don't forget to stop by the Feeling Sketch Blog and check out what the other DT Members made using this sketch!

Everyday Life Planner Inserts...

Planners have been around for a while...each year, we go find the latest and greatest and might even have a FAVORITE!

If you're worried about one not having what the other has, STOP (collaborate and listen..lol...had to throw that in there!).

I have taken several lists from other Planners and have adapted & incorporated them into MATCHING inserts for the Everyday Life Planner! And...the best part is that you can buy them, print from home & stay organized in 2016!

More than half of the inserts are general (tasks, weekly menu, blog post planner, etc.) but some are CTMH Consultant-specific...if you are a Consultant, you can let me know and I'll include those lists in your file.

This month is a mini-hop...only four stops so it shouldn't take you long! If you've come from Marianne's Blog, you're on the right track...keep on hopping 'till you've seen it all!

I just LOVE shaped cards and I immediately knew I wanted to do a pinwheel when I saw this paper...it's so fun and spunky, don't you think! Anywho...I thought a circle-shaped card would go well with my Kaleidoscope pinwheel...here's a look!

---------------------------------------------------
And, here's the inside using a sentiment from So Many Smiles and some Silver Shimmer Trim...


Thanks for stopping by...this is the end of the line if you started from the beginning BUT if you started here or somewhere in the middle, head over to Melissa's Blog NEXT!

White Pines...

I was a busy bee last month...

My local girls met earlier this month and we created LOTS of layouts using some NEW Paper Packets from CTMH...the first of which is White Pines.

White Pines has everything you want from a Christmas paper packet without overwhelming you with reds and greens. The added touch of Champagne and Glacier makes it more Wintery if you know what I mean.

Enough talk...let's take a look at the layouts!

------------------------------------------------------------
Bronze Shimmer Trim adds the perfect touch of brown and sparkle...and the images that come with the stamp set from the WOTG are perfect for Christmas Morning or those gift-exchange parties you might be attending!
-----------------------------------------------------
Even a few Red Enamel Gems add some dimension and pops of color!
------------------------------------------
Here's a look at the second layout...

----------------------------------------------------
I stitched on this layout but you could totally just adhere and be done with it...
---------------------------------------------------------
The third layout complete with Complements and Fern Thick Twine

-------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't that stamped piece of Fern Cardstock add so much to the layout!

Want to create your own?

This workshop has 3 options...1) purchase JUST the cutting diagram...2) purchase the Kit and get the cutting diagram FREE (you will need to add cardstock for bases and some of the photo mats - adding that to the workshop costs would make it astronomical)...or 3) I can do everything for you...assembled and everything! Make your choice below...tax and shipping to you is included in the prices. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery of the "Everything is done for you" Kit.

And...any of the options below give you 24/7 access to ME...that means if you have a question about a cut or need tips and hints, let me know...I'm here to help!
