CTMH Convention!

Megan & I are getting SO excited! The CTMH Convention is July 14-16, in Anaheim, and it's getting very close! I can't wait to go down there and see all the other consultants, and find out about new products that will be in the Fall/Winter 2011 Idea Book. Stay tuned...

National Scrapbook Day!

Megan - 14 years ago!

Love, love, love this layout inspired by Karen Pedersen.   The dress Megan was wearing didn't really match the colors in the Sophia papers, so I ordered most of the prints in black and white, and just left one in color.   What do you think?

And here's a close-up of the Eclectic chipboard alphabet - ink it up in any color you like - the cute patterns resist the ink.   Very fun to use!

Sweetheart Layouts of Matt & Lisa

Here are the layouts I just completed of our friends Matt & Lisa - these are some of the engagement photos Scott took.   I really had fun doing these!    Congratulations on your engagement, Lisa & Matt!

Here's the product list:   Sweetheart Level 2 paper pack, Bohemian Alphabet, Priceless Love Word Puzzle, Spot On Backgrounds, Tulip, Black and Cotton Candy Stamp Pads, Monogram Dimensional Elements, Sweetheart Assortment, On Target Dimensional Elements, Framed Fun, Dimensional Elements, Red, Clear and Bitty Sparkles, Pink Button Assortments, Black Hemp, Cranberry Ribbon, Colonial White Waxy Flax.

This last layout has an interactive element.   That button on the left causes the picture to slide to the right and reveal another picture underneath - pretty cool.   You just cut a slit in the page protector and the button goes on top of the protector.   Here's another picture with the photo slid to the right:

These layouts are all from Magic, Close To My Heart's newst scrapbooking layout book.
