Sonoma Stickease layouts


I made these layouts using the Sonoma papers and the Stickease that were made for it. This is a really fast way to make some pretty layouts. This layout also had a different design t it that i wanted t give a try. The layout is made where it is tilted on the base page. I am such a linear and exacting type scrapper that this was a big challenge for me. But I have to say I really liked how it turned out and will probably try this again. Besides the stickers the only other embellishemnt I added was some ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by.
See you next time.

A Beautiful Vintage Sonoma Layout

I had so much fun putting this beautiful Vintage feel layout together using the Sonoma Paper line from CTMH. I love the Smokey Plum, Bamboo and Olive colors together. This layout had quite a bit of stamping. But you know how I LOVE to stamp!! The border strip that looks like lace is actually two rows of stamped images that were layered together. I layered two Cocoa ribbons right above it and a strip of smokey plum CS above that. I used the AP CTMH cricut cartridge for a few of the embellishment cuts.. The grouping in the bottom right corner is a number of stamped and cutout images bundled together and pop dotted for a pretty accent. I also used the new Pin Clips to hold the butterflies and inserted them in both the upper and lower corners. For a little bling I added some light purple sparkles The papers were also distressed with a distressing tool or scissors and then inked..

I hope you enjoy this layout as much as I enjoyed making it. I have a couple more pages to show you . Stop back in a couple of days to see them.

Thanks for stopping by.

More " Elemental " layouts


I am updating this post with new pictures of the layouts. I added machine stitching and some more embellishements. I still need to get the pictures on. Soon I hope.

Today I have another 2 page layout using the Elemental paper line again. I don't have my pictures on yet but I will be putting some more of my Grandson's photos on them. I used a new product, to me at least,  to accent the pages. They are called Journaling Pockets. I also used a Cork alphabet which gives it a different texture. Plus a couple  of Kraft border strips. I left them in the kraft color this time but you can ink them , stamp on them , add glitter etc.

It was a fun layout to put together. Lot's of stamping, which I love to do!!

See you next time.
Thanks for stopping by.

A FUN layout with "Elemental"


One of the many beautiful paper packs offered by CTMH is one called Elemental. I feel it is a very neutral line. Everything from babies, children, events, Christmas etc can be scrapped using this line. I had made some Christmas cards with this paper and now am showing you a layout featuring my little Grandson.
This layout uses the Dimensional Element Chipboard that is a coordinating product for Elemental. I haven't used a set like this previously and wanted to try it out.  Very little paper is used which is not my usual. The Dimensional Elements are what make these pages shine. Circles galore!!! All different sizes, colors, plain and decorated. A few brads and of course CUTE pictures and the layouts are completed.
I hope you enjoy this post.
Thank you for stopping by.
