Tiana's Wedding Album

 I've been working on my Niece's wedding album.  Most of the paper is GCD Paris Nights.  Many of the swirls and tags are cut using the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  And, there are numerous scraps from the ever-growing embellishment heap in my scrap room.

 I love the black swirls and the "time to celebrate" tags.  The swirls were cut from black glitter paper using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.  The paper is thick and sturdy and the cuts are perfect.

 The swirls were stamped from a now-retired CTMH stamp.  See the dress form in the bottom right hand corner?  That was cut from using the CTMH Artiste cartridge.  I think that new cartridge will get a lot of use.  The butterfly wings behind the dress form was stamped using the CTMH Find Your Style stamp.  That may be all-time favorite stamp.

 All of the letters were cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge.

The border punch is EK success - I like how it goes with the paper.  I made a few other pages, but I think these were my favorite.

Happy Crafting!

CTMH Display Album

I made this for a friend to display pictures of her ADORABLE grandchildren and children.  There are 24 pages (12 front and back) plus the covers and a handful of tags, so there should be adequate space for lots of pictures.

Too many papers and stamps to list, but most supplies are CTMH and most cuts are from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  Email me if you have questions about a specific paper, stamp or tool.

Bliss Wedding Album

 Of course,  once the CTMH 3-ring binder mini-album  retired and the last album sold, my love for it grew into obsession.  Tresa Black is to blame. Had I never seen her tutorials transforming ordinary albums into the EXTRAORDINARY, I wouldn't have rescued mine from the cupboard where they got stashed right after purchase.  Why did I only buy two???

This project was quick - less than 3 hours total time.  Using all of her amazing ideas would have taken longer, but my attention span only stretched to three hours. So I applied a couple of her Fabulously Artsy suggestions, liberally plopped stickers throughout, and sprinkled in lots of love, and best wishes for a long and happy marriage.

I used the new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge,
Bliss Paper pack and Stickease
and lots of ribbon, glitter, glue and stuff.  If you want more details, email me and I'll be specific.

I'm off to beg fellow CTMH consultants to sell me their unused binders.

Happy Crafting!

Heritage pages

My sweet aunt turned 85 this year. These are some pages made for an album to honor the occasion. The paper is a retired CTMH collection, "Unforgettable." As so often happens, I didn't know that I loved, absolutely loved this paper pack until I started working with it. Now I wish it wasn't retired!

Happy crafting and scrapping!
