High School Layouts

Here are two more layouts for sale next Saturday. I used Close To My Heart's Stardust paper pack and stickease. (blue & gold are the school colors) I used my Cricut to cut the letters ~ I used the George cartridge.

Football Layouts

Saturday, August 1st, I am going to be selling scrapbook layouts and other scrapbooking items at Highland High School. The football mom's club is doing a Kickstart Luncheon to start off the school year. These are just four of the layouts that I have finished. I have used Close To My Hearts Game On paper pack and stickease. I have also stamped, used brads and distressed. As I finish more things, I will try to post them.

Father's Day Cards

These are two cards I made for Father's Day. I got both ideas from Close To My Hearts Originals Card Making Book. I used the paper from the Game On paper pack and stickers. I added buttons and used pop dots to add dimension.

Journaling Examples

Here are a couple examples of some of my journaling. In the school pictures, I just put important information about Tyler's first grade year: his teacher's name, principal, best friends, etc. On the Porter County Fair page, I wrote a little bit about the fun day the boys had and some of the activities they did. So when I journal, I don't journal a lot, I just put what I feel is the most important information or what best describes that event. But remember, how and if you journal is all up to you. I just wanted to share with you how I do it. **Note: You can click on each picture to get an enlarged version of the image.**

Teacher's Card/Bookmark

Well, today's the last day of school so we had to get Tyler's teachers gifts to let them know we really had a great year!!! I made his wonderful teacher a card that was really fun to make. I used Close To My Hearts Paper Garden paper pack. I used cranberry embossing powder and heat embossed a flower from the Delight in Everything stamp pack on vellum paper. I cut it out and added a button to the center of the flower. Added a sticker from the Paper Gardens My Stickease pack and then some ribbon I had on hand. For the great teacher's aid in Tyler's class, we made her a bookmark also using the Paper Garden paper and My Stickease. Tyler wrote a little note on the back so she will always remember him.

End of Kindergarten Pictures

This is Tyler's last day of kindergarten last year. The kids sang songs, received awards and had snacks. I used Close To My Heart's Cherish book for the layout. I found this school paper pack at Joann's ~ has great colors in it.

Anniversary Card

Here is a card I made for my brother in law and his wife for their one year anniversary. I used CTMH's That's Amore paper (it's one of my favorites!!!) and I got the idea for the card layout using CTMH's Originals book. Originals is a book that has many card designs in it ~ it tells you how to cut the paper, what size card, and it shows different ideas for the same type of card ~ there's so much in this book ~ and it's sooo easy to use! I embellished using buttons tied with chocolate waxy flax (another one of my favorite products!) and I stamped a quote on the outside of the card from the Treasure Life stamp set. The quote on the inside of the card, came from the Celebrate Life stamp set by Close To My Heart.
