Dotty for You Day 5!

Surprise...I haven't given up yet!  Here is creation # 5, a fun little 4x4 card.  All the patterned paper is from Dotty for You and the emblem in the middle is a Stella Canvas Shape, with a Paradise Bloom and a quick and easy self-adhesive Durable Stud in the middle.  I love having plenty of these little gift enclosure cards around it's nice when they're generic enough to grab for just about any gifting occasion. 

Dotty for You Day 4

I typically do a bit more to the page that has my main focal photo and this is no exception...see why I saved this one to show you after yesterday's post?  Here again one creation led to another, remember the card from a couple days ago with the little tree?  Well it grew FAST!  That card totally inspired this page. The papers are Stella and Dotty for You.  For more info about the upcoming Dotty for You special or the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge that the tree is from you can read prior posts and/or visit my CTMH site pattir.myctmh.com 

Dotty for You Day 3

Uh oh!!  It's only day 3 and I'm already feeling the pressure of this challenge I have given myself!  I have to work out of town the next two days so I'm busy with that and I won't be home tomorrow night so I'm kind of cheating and splitting up the pages from this layout.  This is actually the second page but I like the first page best so I'm saving it for last, make sense?  I'm here to tell you I had very little time to do this and I timed myself and kept it simple....I completed this in under 15 minutes, not bad eh?  I'll tell you more about it later, but for now I have to hit the hay. Big work day tomorrow--no scrapbooking for me until Thursday but rest assured I've scheduled the companion page for this to post tomorrow evening.  Hope you like them!

Dotty for You - Countdown Day 2

This card was "born" from a mistake!  I was making the card I posted yesterday and I put adhesive on the wrong side of the paper for the bottom of that card, so I set it aside, finished up that card then got busy on this one.  I'm quite happy with how it turned out. 

Here's what I used to create this card, you can find it all on my Close to My Heart site at www.pattir.myctmh.com plus if you hurry over there and click on "WHILE SUPPLIES LAST" under the "Shopping" tab you will find some great deals, some items are marked down 80%!!!  Also, contact me about how to receive a FREE Idea Book/Catalog.

April Stamp of the Month & Dotty for You - Countdown Day 1

 

Happy April Fools Day!  I suppose I should look up how in the world we ended up with this tricky little day.  In the mean time if you know I'd love to hear from you.

First I want to be sure you know about this month's Stamp of the Month - "You Are" it has 15 stamps that are just perfect for making creations for your fun, amazing, cool & original friends and family. Each Stamp of the Month is available at a discounted rate of $5 with a $50 purchase; or for it's full price of $17.95 only during it's special month.  It's possible that it will NEVER become available again.  Some Stamp of the Month's make it into future catalogs but not all do.  

The examples on the photo above are from our Spring/Summer catalog and you can click on the link to see more about the set.

I will have a few creations to share using the Stamp of the Month, this month because I'm challenging myself to post something every day between now and April 17, when the "Dotty for You" paper pack becomes available!  Talk about a trick, if I pull that off I will be surprised at myself even!

Here's my first one. . . .Day One!

I've been trying to do a little to the insides of my cards, it doesn't take much to really jazz it up a bit. 

Lucy Tea Box

Boy I'm just all over the place when it comes to the papers in our current catalog!!  It seems like I just have to play with them all as soon as humanly possible!!  For this project I was playing again with Lucy paper and Bitty Buds.  It's a cute tea dispenser box, I  got the instructions from here, I know - I know mine is not as good as that one but it was quick and I wanted to play with Lucy when I made it...the Stella paper pack will make up a more sophisticated box, I'll play with Stella pretty soon. 

Victory and Pemberley REALLY???

Well I certainly surprised myself here - mixing papers from Pemberley and Victory, it just shows how versatile the CTMH paper kits are! I used several other Close to My Heart embellishments, this was such a fun page to make, how could I go wrong with such a GREAT picture!!!


This is one of my daughter's best friends...her mom is one of my best friends so I enjoyed scrapbooking this even more.  This was actually their Christmas card and it was funny, my daughter said "it looks like an engagement photo!" Then low and behold they were engaged not long after that...I think there will be more scrapbooking for me to do in this cute couple's future, don't you? :o)


The page pattern is from Magic Book which as I mentioned below is being retired and available only while supplies last.
