Tickled Pink flamingo 1 page layout

What a GREAT time we had this week, as I hosted an ALL DAY crop & showcased the NEW Seasonal Expression 2 mini-book, and all the fabulous items. 

Have you seen these gorgeous new products? If not, you’ll view a bunch of them in today’s post.  

Here’s a look at a few of the NEW goodies from CTMH….

THREE new paper packs (Florence, Magical & Calypso), dozens of stamp sets, 4 sets of NEW “Thin Cuts”,  2 NEW “Cut Above” card kits (with foil images!), 3 waterbrushes, many NEW embellishments….and the list goes on!  

It was a rainy day, so it was nice we could be inside & craft away!  

As part of my “thank you” for joining me this day, I had a FREE “Make n Take” that could be created anytime throughout the day.  What fun!! 

If you hadn’t noticed, I went with the flamingo/paradise theme ….so in keeping that theme we HAD to use some NEW Flamingo products from CTMH!!

Here is the layout we created…

Of course, everyone’s layout was a bit different - depending on what side of the paper they used, or if they chose to use another 4x3 PML card in place of the yellow striped one shown in this photo….THAT is the FUN in creating your own items!!

 

We used the Calypso paper pack, Scrapbook Queen stamp set, Tickled Pink stamp set, Tickeled Pink thin cuts, Calypso washi tape & sequins. 

Thanks for stopping by…and make sure to get your OWN copy of the NEW Seasonal Expression 2 mini-book with your next CTMH order.   You can receive this SE2 mini-book for FREE with any size order on my website!

Blessings to you for a beautiful day!!

Let’s take a look at some of the close ups & details about this beautiful planner system.

The monthly page….

Here are the DAILY pages….LOVE that you can write things for each day.

Now maybe you are all set for 2016….BUT you like the possibilities of the MANY ways you could use a beautiful mini-album.  The coordinating items have been PRE-RELEASED and can be purchased separately too!!! 

I LOVE the possibilities of this mini album!! 

Here are the Everyday Life™ items, listed separately…  

To fill up your album, the Everyday Life line will also include:

·The Everyday Life album ($10.95), a beautiful, black three-ring album with gold foil design that measures 9 3/8” x 8 ¼”. This album size makes the album multi-purpose, allowing you to decide what you put in it.

The Everyday Life 2016 planner pages ($15.95): 154 planner pages, 12 monthly dividers with tabs, a pocket folder page, a designed page finder, and four sheets of stickers. With monthly and weekly spreads and printed dates, these pages have all the features you need to stay organized—and look good doing it!

· My Crush® Everyday Life pages ($7.95 ): A set of 60 double-sided, gorgeous My Crush pages. These pages can be used on their own to create a beautiful My Crush book, or they can be combined with the planner pages to give you more room in your planner for preserving your memories while giving your planner even more flair.

· Everyday Life Washi Tape ($3.95): because every My Crush book needs a good washi for attaching photos and other memorabilia to your pages.

  

· Memory Protectors ($6.95): we’re introducing TWO new styles of pocket memory protectors sized to fit into the Everyday Life album.                                   One will have two 4” x 6” pockets, the other four 4” x 3” pockets. Use these to add your favorite Picture My Life™ cards and photos into the mix!

Joyful Stars Blog Hop–Wanderful-Washi layout!

Welcome to our monthly  
 Joyful Stars Blog Hop!!!!

We're excited to share our creativity with you using PRODUCTS from Close To My Heart!!  

 

Come on in and see what BEAUTIFUL projects my fellow consultants have creating using the AMAZING products from Close To My Heart!!

This blog hop is easy to do…just click on the link at the end of the post to go to the next creation!!  If you get lost along the way, CLICK HERE to see the list of this month’s hoppers! 

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

If you have arrived from Lori Meadow’s blog you are right on track.   J

As I thought about what I wanted to share with you today…..I realized I had created a 2 page layout a few months ago & never share it here on my blog!!

So – let’s take a look at this layout….

Sorry for the glare of the protectors, but there is a reason behind this.

Flip flaps…..and we’ll talk about them in a moment. 

This was the 2 page make n take that I had at this past year’s Winter Retreat for those that chose to create it.  I offered it at my cost, and then taught the many different aspects of how we made this layout.

We used the retiring paper pack called Wanderful….a GREAT paper pack to use for many different occasions!

Let’s take a look at the Right page….because I’d like to share about Flip flaps! 

My teammate, Stephanie Huber, gave me this FUN idea – and so I tried it out on my own!!  See the 4x6 photo at the top of this page with my precious family….this WAS a 6x6 flip flap – CUT DOWN to create a 4x6 flip flap!!

So, you might say – CTMH already has 4x6 flip flaps….what are you doing? LOL!!!

That’s true, they do (& they are FABULOUS)…..HOWEVER – right now we only have 4x6 flip flaps that have adhesive on the side of the pocket…not a top hinge.

>>>>>>>>SO….by cutting off the bottom of our 6x6 flip flap, and adhering PRETTY gold dotted washi tape to seal it….we THEN have an adhesive strip on the TOP of our flip flap vs. the side adhesive…make sense???  We can now flip UP our flip flap – instead of flip out.J

Take a look at the cluster of goodies on the right page….

There were 2 stamp sets used here…the Paper Wishes stamp set

and the Documenting Moments stamp set.

This stamp set is becoming a FAST FAVORITE!!!   Feel free to go back and check out the picture of the layout…..I used MANY of these stamped images in a LOT of different ways!!  FUN!!! J

I also LOVE to use our Base & Bling charms on my projects!!  These little guys, in this case an owl, add just a fun touch to the page.

Next – DID YOU NOTICE….all the washi tape I used all OVER this layout???

EVERYWHERE you see the striped pink lines AND the gold polka dots – they aren’t paper>>>>>>>they are Washi tape!!!!

I will miss this washi as it is leaving us by the end of this month…but even if it’s not in our NEW, upcoming  2015 Annual Inspirations, I know I will keep using this FABULOUS accent tape!!

IN case you’d like to re-create this on your own – here are the supplies I used.
