Katy here with An Inside to my HeART...

I have a very simple card using some leftovers from other projects I've made...sometimes, when things get busy and I still feel the urge to create, I just pull some of my scraps and make something LOVELY...it's a win/win situation!

Here's a look...

Put It In a Pocket Blog Hop....

I'm so HAPPY to be joining the talented group of CTMH Consultants for this month's Blog Hops with Heart theme of...

STICK IT IN A POCKET!!!

If you've come from Jayma's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around 'till you get back to where you started! If you started from the beginning, this is your last stop!

I hope my project qualifies as a "pocket"...it's a graduation card envelope with a little bit of spending cash for the graduate! Before you go thinking I'm a cheap gift-giver, I don't carry cash so this is all I had on me...lol

------------------------------------------

I didn't adhere any of the sides so it will open all the way up and reveal the cash! I used CTMH's Magical Collection and the NEW Smarty Pants stamp set! The band slides right off and the card opens up...I used some Shimmer Trim to create a little holder...I peeled off the ends of the backing but left the center part so it doesn't stick to the cash! The "Congratulations" sentiment is adhered only by staples...

Thanks for stopping by! If you missed out on any of the other blogs, head on over to Amie's Blog and keep going 'till you see all seven blogs!

Inspiration for this card came from my PIN found {{{here}}}.

Calypso Cousins with Let's Scrap...

The 1st and the 15th are very LOVED days...for some, because they're pay days but FOR ME it's because they're LET'S SCRAP SKETCHES days!

I've been leaning towards 1-page layouts lately to get daily photos done...you know the ones...daily life, a funny face, a trip to the ice-cream truck...days or events that can be summed up in 1-3 photos. BUT, this sketch...a 2-pager...is perfect for some photos of an annual "1st-Cousin Reunion" we had a couple of years ago. 

My grandparents are both deceased, my uncle is deceased and more recently, my daddy died so it's become even MORE IMPORTANT for my family to stay in touch. I have some cousins that live in Colorado and it's either a 16-hour drive or a very expensive flight for all of them to come down...some cousins that are very successful & VERY BUSY - Colby Donaldson - Survivor contestant and finalist as well as Texas Triggers business that he runs with his brother AND he's more recently become involved in real estate here in Texas. I have over 100 photos from this ONE DAY back in 2014 but chose just a few to showcase on this layout...mainly of Little Miss L's pool fun as well as some group photos of just us Cousins.

 ----------------------------------------

Here are some close-ups of the photos as well as one that didn't make the cut...me & my handsome 21-yr old before our tubing experience...lol

------------------------------------------------------------

I just LOVE the string of square photos in this sketch. Even though my baby's head is cropped out (mainly because I was having trouble using my NEW Selphy...lol)...

------------------------------------------

The Palm Tree cut using the CTMH Artistry Collection and a chopped up zip-strip from the Calypso line make for the perfect focal point in this bottom left corner!

-------------------------------------------

Some more cuts from CTMH's line of Cricut Cartridges...and those pink sequins from Calypso are divine!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you'll head on over to the Let's Scrap Blog and check out the other DT Members' projects as well as link up your own layout before the end of  the month for a chance to win some goodies from our Sponsor!

Hello, Hey, Hi from PPPR...

Head on over to the PPPR FB Page to get started!

In the Word with SEM...

It's my turn to post over on the Scrapping Everyday Miracles Blog and today's topic is IN THE WORD Wednesday. 

Every time I see this Verse, it speaks to me...calms me...makes me so thankful that I'm blessed to have my beautiful children when so many are unable to have kids or have lost their children. I was reminded of this Verse this past weekend with all the Mother's Day posts I was seeing on social media.

So...I decided to make a dashboard of sorts for my Everyday Life Planner so I can see it regularly! I used the very LOVELY Happy Times which is CTMH's (i)NSD Special this month!

------------------------------------------

Here's a couple of closeups...I dove-tailed the B&T its adhered to for a little mix-up (straight lines bore me...lol). I also made a Planner Clip using one of the flower images from the Happy Times stamp set (check out CTMH's video on IG where they make some CUTE Planner Clips!)

-----------------------------------------------

I just HAD to add some dimension...didn't want to add too much since my Planner is already pretty full and I didn't want it to bulk up or add weird-ness to the pages before/after the page.

Thanks for stopping by!

If you have a favorite Bible Verse, we'd love for you to share it over at the SEM Blog in the comments of my post!
