Flirty Fall Scrapbook Page!

(click on my image above to see it larger)

Here's the single scrapbook page I'll be creating with guests at Darla's scrapbooking party tonight. The page features the Flirty papers X7160B, Flirty Complements Dimensional Elements X7160C, and the Love Blooms stamp set C1511. The design is inspired by the Flirty layout shown on page 50 of the Idea Book. The base of the page is Bamboo cardstock stamped with Desert Sand ink. Embellished with Clear Sparkles Z1752.

I'm so looking forward to teaching Darla and her friends all about scrapbooking tonight!!

I'll see you ladies soon! :)

Feel free to contact me anytime if you're interested in hosting your own party, class, or workshop for yourself and a few friends (in my home or yours)! I LOVE every opportunity I get to help my hostesses earn FREE products from me, meet new friends, and share my passion for creativity!

More artwork featuring the "Dotty for You" papers!

Just sharing one last reminder to get your "Dotty for You" papers now while you still can...and here is more "Dotty" artwork and more creative ideas to inspire you!

Sisterly Love Page

Polaroid Snapshot Technique

Create a Polaroid snapshot look by first cutting out a rounded-corner rectangle the size of your focal point. Then, cut a larger rectangle around the negative space, creating the look of a Polaroid. For example, if your subject is 3" × 2", cut a rounded 3" rectangle using the Cricut® machine then discard the rectangle and keep the negative space, cutting that piece at 4" × 2½". Add journaling to the empty white space at the bottom and attach it to the layout at an angle using 3-D foam tape. You’ll now be able to create the Polaroid look for any kind of picture without needing a Polaroid camera!

Kiss Page

 

Pin Flags Technique

Make a darling accent from your paper scraps by trimming a complementary banner and wrapping it around a pin from the Bling assortment (Z1466) to form a small pin flag.

 

Surf Page

 

Stitch a Frame

Use dark thread and stitch around your layout’s focal elements to ground your page.

 Sweet Life Page

Making Embellishments Stand Out

Add a bit of white, solid space behind decorative elements, such as this baker’s twine bow, to help them stand out on busy B&T Duos® papers, like this chevron pattern. 

 

R Card

Helping Adjacent Patterns Pop

To help two adjacent patterns stand out individually, separate them with a solid color in between.

Dotty for You with Mojo Monday 235

It's Monday and I was so looking forward to getting creative today so...I created this standard-size card this morning using the newest Mojo Monday (Sketch 235) as my inspiration! Colors are Colonial White, Grey Wool, Lagoon, and Sweet Leaf. The stamp sets I used include Simple Memories D1472 and Dreams D1500 to stamp the sentiment (you won't find this stamp set in the Idea Book as it is a special CTMH "consultant-only" set I received as a gift for attending Convention at Disneyland last summer). The papers I used are from a brand-new pack called "Dotty for You" that will be available to customers very soon!

(remember you can click on my artwork below to see it up-close!)

Here are a few more details:

When you place an order of $35 or more in products from the Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book between April 17 and May 31, you may add the "Dotty for You" paper packet, valued at $19.95, for just $5! "Dotty for You" includes 24 specially designed, coordinating B&T Duos® sheets (2 each of 12 patterns) and an artwork idea insert to get your creative juices flowing. But that’s not all!

There are also two ways you can get this darling paper packet FREE!...

1). Hostesses will receive a free "Dotty for You" paper packet when their Gathering sales total $400 or more (excluding tax, shipping/handling, and Operation Smile donations).
