A 'Happy Times' Tuesday!

Hello and a Happy Tuesday to you!  It is a dreary day here in this part of the world, as the skies are trying to decide if it should rain or not. A great day to hang out inside the house and work on a two page layout that I could share with all of you!  Yes, I have circles once again!  lol. I am in love with Close To My Heart's Happy Times Paper Pack and Stamp Set!! For the solid colored circles, I dug through my scrap bucket and punched random paper. The ink colors I used were Peacock, Sorbet, Fern, Pixie and Glacier. The Florence sequins come from the new Seasonal Expressions 2. 

Thanks for looking!

Do You Remember Chalk It Up?!

Happy Wednesday! Do you remember the CTMH paper Chalk It Up!?  I have had that paper from when I first signed up as a consultant and finally came up with a layout worth sharing! I just love the brightness and excitement that the paper offers this layout and pictures.  The addition of a strip of Coral Shimmer Trim and a few circles cut out of a piece of paper from Fundamentals Adventure and from Sorbet Cardstock finish off the layout nicely! 

 Don't forget that when looking at a layout, you only need to swap out the paper with your 'stash' at home. Check out the new CTMH papers that are in the new Seasonal Expressions 2! Magical and Florence are a must have!!

A sample of CTMH's NEW Magical paper!!  Love It!  #ctmhmagical

"A Weekend Full of So Many Smiles!"

Happy Monday!  What a wonderful weekend I had!  On Saturday a group of 15 ladies, including my mother, daughter, and myself, met at our local hall and scrapbooked or made cards for 12 hours!! Yay!!  What fun!!  What a day of inspiration!!  Thank you to each and every one of those ladies for coming out!!  At the crop, I had a demonstration named "Crazy for Circles!"  LOVE my circles!! lol  Due to my love of circles, I am absolutely in love with CTMH's stamp set, "So Many Smiles"!  I love how you can take this 12 piece stamp set, mix and match colors, use 3D foam tape and 'pop' up certain sections of the circles and make an eye pleasing layout!  Adding it with the Zoe paper pack, Coral Shimmer Trim, a mini stapler and a couple of (retired) Picture My Life Cards just made it that much better!  Wonderful 'things' can happen with this fantastic stamp set!!

Thanks you for looking!
