Magic layout

Do you want a sneak peak of a layout from the new CTMH design book Magic?  This layout “Parlor Trick” on page 14. Supplies are as follows:

Topstitch paper pack (X7120B)

Chocolate ink

Vineyard Berry Ink

Doddle Art stamps (D1240)

2 sheets of Desert Sand cardstock

DMC 315 thread (Vineyard Berry color)

I changed the layout just a smidge because I cropped my photos just a hair too small and I have a 5x7 photo that I really wanted to use.  But this is what I love about the CTMH Design books, you can see the idea, get inspiration and then just combine your ideas with the book for beautiful layouts every time.  The Magic layout also shows you how to hide your journaling but I wanted mine out in the open so that has been changed too.  

I’m 13

Kaela created this birthday layout using Studio J.  I have ordered the actual layout but it is not here yet so all have for you to see is this screen shot.  I am just so excited over her artwork I think Studio J just might be the scrapbooking format she has been looking for!  She is going to use this layout as her “try out” for the Ford Middle School Choir Historian position.

Wish her luck!

 

Here are the “other pages” from her birthday made with traditional scrappin methods. But I like the Studio J layouts better than mine this time.

She did a great job!

The first day of 7th Grade

I am just now starting to scrap 7th grade for Kaela, I know it was last year but hey I am a little late.  Here is the first page of her 7th grade album.

Going to the bus stop for the very first time. 

The Last of the Composition Notebooks

Kaela came home today very tired but asking me to pretty up her other notebooks too.  She handed me 2 of  her notebooks and then a 3rd. She very quickly explained that “my English teacher would like a pretty journal too, here she sent one for you to do”. Kaela handed me 3 new journals and ran up the stairs!  Then yelled over the side of the house…. “oh and I need them back on Monday”. Kaela rarely asks me to do anything scrappy wise for her, how could I resist?   So here is what I came up with.

Here is the one for Ms. Franklin.  All Kaela could tell me about her teacher is that she likes purple… I hope so.

Here is Kaela’s English Journal

This is the last journal I finished. Kaela was pretty happy.

So it appears I am finished with my homework :-)

The Shopping Cart Link Is Fixed

shopping cart error

The link in the shopping cart has an error in it.  As soon as Mike gets home I will have him fix it to take you to my CTMH website for a little shopping.  Thanks your for bearing with me. :-)

A Little Alteration

A new school year has begun and along with that I have tried something new Altered Composition Notebooks.  I have seen many CTMH consultants post photos of all the pretty notebooks they have done but I was just chicken to try it.   Chicken no more – here is what I did.

I made this one for my blog notes.  I always write down ideas first and think on them for a little while before posting and this notebook helps to keep my thoughts in one place.

Why did I wait so long to try this?  It is sooooo easy!
