Kaleidoscope Scrapbook Pages- CTMH

Have you taken notice of the Kaleidoscope paper collection from Close To My Heart?

Such bright, fun colors to work with!!

My monthly group of ladies, enjoy creating scrapbook pages….so I needed to create some of my own pages, since there was not a Workshop kit that CTMH created for this paper collection. J

(But you'll want to take note of the ADORABLE Kaleidoscope cardmaking kit they DO have available!!)

Here are the layouts I created…

Layout 1 was created from a layout design that CTMH gave us at this summer’s 2015 Convention.

I wanted to use only colors from the Kaleidoscope paper collection – so I needed to trade out some cardstock colors compared to the original CTMH layout, to make this happen.

While I do like the “original” layout & colors by CTMH, I was really excited how this layout turned out by only using the colors included in the Kaleidoscope paper collection.

As I was creating these set of layouts, I wanted to use the coordinating Kaleidoscope Complements on all three layouts, so I incorporated these fun goodies in each layout as well.

Let’s take a close-up look at some of Layout 1 details.

We did some stamping on this 1st layout, and I “copied” directly from the CTMH layout.

Check out the “flowers” we created with this stamp set, we used the leaf stamp image from the FRIEND TREE stamp set!! I LOVE to use stamp images in ways we don’t think about – and that’s how we created this flower!!

Below, the bicycle needed some glitter hearts and the dotted strip of paper is a “zip-strip” that’s an “extra goodie” included with CTMH paper collections!!

Here is layout 2….we used Pear cardstock as our base pages.

Let’s see a few close ups of this page…

The large diamond is a sticker that comes in the Complements collection. I mounted that on a scrap piece of canary cardstock & then cut a piece of white shimmer trim to give it some sparkle.

Also, note that the clear stickers were used just like they are. (check out layout 3 for another way to use the clear stickers)

I used a mixture of the 3D shapes, stickers & added white shimmer trim to give it some pop!

It’s fun to dove-tail the shimmer trim OR just cut it off on an angle!! This is ONE product that I use all the time, you can use it in so many ways!!

Layout 3 was created using Pattern 3, from our Make It From Your Heart #2 how-to- book.

As I mentioned above – this time….take note of the “clear stickers” on this layout. These "clear" flower stickers are no longer clear, but I mounted them on white daisy cardstock & then cut them out to place them as accents on the layout!!

Here is a close-up of the title of this page…

Again, I added the "fun day" sticker to a piece of scrap gypsy cardstock. and added a piece of shimmer trim behind the title.

The tie dye zig zags are a sticker, but – since I don’t like to waste anything J…I cut another set of zig zags out of the negative space & used that on the right side of this layout too!!
