The Brae-ers May Blog Hop

My First Blog HOP!

I love Pinterest and when I saw that our group, the Brae-er 's, was doing a Pinterest inspired hop I know I had to join.  If you are coming from Heather's blog then you are at the right place.  This is a circular  blog hop so it does not matter where you start.  If you get lost, you can go to Brea's blog for a complete list of all the participants.  Have fun and enjoy all the wonderful work that our team is showing you this month.

I recreate some of these cards using CTMH’s Fast and Furious stamps set.  I love this stamp set.  It is prefect for all the little boys I know.

Later Sk8r and Fast and Furious CTMH cards.

These cards where created using the Later Sk8r paper pack and pear, slate, outdoor denim and cranberry ink.  I love the pop of the race car in red!

Thanks for stopping by.  It is now time for you to head on over to Carol's blog to see the wonderful work she has created.  Have fun.

Studio J

I created all these layouts using Studio J, CTMH's digital scrapbooking software.  I love that they have all there current and old paper packs on there for me to use.  The papers on there are also pretty awesome.  My only hang up use to be that I could not add my own photo spots if I wanted extra photos.  Well CTMH just changed that.  Now you can add as many photo spots as you want.  I am SO excited about this. Now I can even order all my smaller prints from CTMH.

This layout uses typing to make cute accents.
Try using a series of periods or brackets on your next layout.

This layout uses one of CTMH's new express collections.
Just add photos and journalling and you are done!

 I love that I can scrapbook a whole series of small photos quickly.  These photos are from a family visit.  I may not have taken the time to scrapbook these in the traditional way but I am very glad to have captured them here.

Pyjama Party Anyone?

Wow, I am so excited that Close To My Heart has partnered with Stacy Julian and Big Picture Classes to have a pyjama party.  The featured product is a very cute Kraft treat tube.  I already have one ready and waiting to complete so I am excited to make it along side them on May 30th.  If you are interested in getting your own Kraft tube and supplies please contact me.  Check out the super cute project at: Big Picture Classes

Dream Pop

During my time in Greenland I started a new blog to keep family informed about how are trip was going.  I enjoyed it so much I decided I would get back at it and start writing on this blog again.   Today I want to share about the Dream Pop paper pack that CTMH has come out with to celebrate National Scrapbooking month.  With you spend $35 you can get this paper pack for just $10.  It has 24 sheets of amazing double sided papers.  I have started working with mine and love it.

Friday Night Scrap

The first friday of every month I always have friends over to scrap.  It started with us all getting together and working on our own project.   Know that I sell CTMH it has changed into me planning a layout for everyone to make.  I really enjoy planning and making interactive layouts and teaching new, interesting techniques.  Here are a few of the layouts we have made recently.

True Fit Folio

I love this little album.  Now that I made one I think I might be making way more.  I love how cute it is and that it stands up so well.  It will be awesome filled with travel photos.  Now I just need to go somewhere (or perhaps give it to someone who has gone somewhere.)  Know I think will make some for the little ones of family and friends.  We shall see.  It will all depend on how much crafting time I get in now that I am back to work.

Bee's birthday Presents

Well my daughter had her 1st birthday just a few weeks ago now and I was so thrilled to get a few crafty presents to be hung in her room.  It took a little while but they are finally up and they look amazing.  Thank so much to the two crafty ladies that put so much work into each one of them.
