2 page layout using Fundamentals & new complements!

Today I wanted to share this 2 page layout that we created at a recent Close To My Heart event, Team Builders! This was my 2nd year that I was able to attend Team Builders, and what a weekend it was!!

We had business talks, encouragement, laughter, Fun and of course creative time!! We created (10) 2 page layouts, and today I wanted to share my favorite one with you.

These layouts all focus on our FUNDAMENTALS line.

This layout uses 3 of our Fundamentals papers, PLUS the NEW Fundamentals Complements...I ADORE these 4 new Complements packs!!

Check out today's 2 page layout :)

Didn't the CTMH Art Department do an AMAZING job in creating this layout??? I love it!!

So, let's take a closer look...

The cluster of embellishments/stickers, are from the 2 NEW Complement packs called "My Girl Complements" & "Springtime Complements". The white chipboard pieces with gold foil, are included in the Springtime...the bright flowers & leaves are from the My Girl ones.

Take a peek at the two different packs below. Please keep in mind that these complements can be found in the Seasonal Expression 1 mini book and WILL retire on April 30, 2017!!

My Girl Complements

Springtime Complements

This layout uses these papers.....Rustic Home Fundamentals, Whimsy Fundamentals &
Adventure Fundamentals.

What BEAUTIFUL papers these are - and THEY are located in our Annual Inspirations Idea Book and will be current until July 31, 2017 OR while supplies last.
These fundamental papers are some of my FAVORITES!!!

One more close - up....did you notice the tiny bit of stamping that I did? I stamped the "beautiful" and "about me" ...and that's it!!!

This stamp set is a new one, and one that will be used often!

It's called "Journaling Prompts" and is only $9.95!!

That's all for today! Thanks for stopping by & I look forward to chatting again soon!!

Blessings to EACH of you!!

Joyful Stars Blog Hop - Sugar Rush - Popsicle card

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have arrived from Joyce's blog you are right on track.

Today I wanted to share a card that was a make n take at my Spring 2017 "Kickoff Catalog Celebration" event! :) We used the FUN, yummy, New paper collection named Sugar Rush. Check it out!

I created this card using the pattern #21 in the Make It From your Heart, volume 1 how-to-book. I LOVE to create with the many patterns in this book (and the other 7 how-to-books we have too)!! This is always my starting point when I begin to create!

I love the subtle look the Sugar Rush - washi tape gave the card. The pack comes with 3 designs...but I used one in this card creation.

Let's check out what the Sugar Rush paper pack looks like....

When I first started thinking about creating a card, I KNEW I wanted to use the adorable stamp set that coordinated with this paper pack! It's called...
Sugar Rush - Scrapbooking stamp set

What makes this stamp sets even MORE FUN....it coordinates with Close To My Heart's Artistry Cricut cartridge!!! Do you see the stamp set images, outlined in RED?? Those shapes can be cut with our cartridge!!

Here's a FUN close up of my card....

See the "speckled" background? I used our spray pen...which was filled with whisper re-inker & water.

The clear "glaze" that is on top of the sprinkles is the FABULOUS Liquid Glass!! While I use this as a glue, I often use it as a beautiful embellishment too!

Here is a list of products used on this card...

D1715 Sugar Rush - Scrapbooking stamp set

A1189 Short & Sweet stamp

Cardstock: Pomegranate, Sea Glass & Whisper

Z3247 Chevron Embossing Folder
