Have a one of a kind fabulous day!

Sorry for my absence on my blog lately.

I've been struggling with some serious food allergies for the past 2-3 months and all the fallout from that, and trying to get my health back on track.

 I was also having issues with Blogger not uploading any photos, ever since I did the Windows 10 update.  Ended up that I just needed to download Google Chrome and it seems to have fixed that issue.  ;)

Anyways, let's get to the good stuff...

Here's a fun card I made a while back using the new CTMH Watercolor Paints.

So fun!

Happy creating!  :)

Supplies used are all CTMH:

Paper:  Watercolor Paper; Black, White Daisy CS

Stamp:  Happy Everything - retired Operation Smile set

Ink:  Archival Black

Embellishments:  Clear and Bitty Sparkles, White Shimmer Trim, Black Enamel Star

Other:  Watercolor Paint, Paint Brushes, Micro-tip Scissors

Life Is Looking Up

(I shared this layout prematurely, so I am sharing it again now that the timing is right...)


How adorable is this???

 

This is one of the layouts we created at Convention in Disneyland.

 

The theme of Convention this year was from the Disney movie UP. (One of my all-time fave Disney movies!)

 

We got to use a ton of new products on this page, which are now available to order!!!

Convention Friends Layout

Here is another layout we created while at Convention.

 

This one uses papers from the new Kaleidoscope paper packet.

What a fun trip I had with these two girls!

 

Charity is my sweet upline, and my sideline Debbie... well Debbie and I go waaaaay back.  We went to all the same schools and even graduated together.  So fun to reconnect with someone from my past.

 

They are both awesome!

Disneyland (Convention) Layout

I want to begin sharing some of the cute layouts we got to create at Convention in July in Disneyland, CA, using all new products from the NEW Annual Inspirations catalog.

 

First up is this layout using the sweet Georgie papers.

 

At first glance, the Georgie paper packet is baby themed, but take a good look at this layout... no baby theme here!

After I got home, I printed out some photos from my trip and added them to my layout.

 

I think it turned out pretty cute.

Wow, it is hard to believe that summer is winding down.  (((sniff, sniff...)))

 

But that also means that starting today, Close To My Heart has two NEW catalogs full of so many amazing new products that you just have to see for yourself!  YAY!!!

Sarita Birthday

 

Yesterday I took out the retired Sarita paper to use on this card.

 

Got to use it up!!! lol

 

 

(inspired by this card on Pinterest) 

 

I used the Shower Flowers and Joyful Birthday stamp sets, and cut the leaf shapes using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge with Slate cardstock and vellum.

 

It is hard to pick up in the photo, but I added a little retired Prisma Glitter to my flowers and using my glue pen to adhere it.

 

I love how this one turned out!

 

 

Happy creating!  :)
