Happy Scrappin'

July Scrapbook class

July 13 Scrapbooking Class

X7147B  Stella Paper Kit 

Love, Love, Love this paper kit!

I’m so excited for the next two months Scrapbooking classes! We are using 2 of my favorite kits in the catalog. Stella, for July with its flirty colors and scrumptious patterns & I love the Canvas compliments that go with this paper. Footloose, for August with its summery colors & fun patterns for beaches, pools and vacations. (Pictures and more info soon!) The Coordinating Compliments are colorful chipboard & you all know how much I love chipboard! There’s also something new for us to work with…Seaside wooden shapes! We used the garden wooden shapes in the Florentine class & everyone loved them. And as luck would have many of the products & colors used for the July class will also be used in August!

This is such a pretty page on the front of our Spring/Summer Catalog. Our

CTMH Creative staff is so talented! They designed the perfect accents using

the "Just for You" stamp set, paper piercing the flowers together with all the

different petals. Adding the neutral background to the splash of color &

pattern papers in this kit creates a stunning effect.

Some of you know that stickers are not my favorite to work with. That's

why I love these Canvas Sheets! The texture & chic look of these canvas

accents is something you'll want to include on your pages and cards.

Just For You Stamp Set

Paradise Assortment
Bakers Twine perfect
colors to match this
kit! (and next months
kit too!)

Once again Kudo's to our CTMH Art Department for their
inspiring pages and altered items!

The Bohemian collection of embellishments includes the
shabby chic crocheted flowers for a vintage feel and some
unique buttons.

Our Paradise Paper Flowers coordinate
perfectly with the Bakers twine & "Stella"
Paper Pack.
