October 2010 – 2 Page Layout $6 It’s Pumpkin Time, Little Monsters & You’re a Hoot

 

Isn't Fall just filled with all kinds of wonderful opportunities to scrap?  From pumpkins and piles of leaves to halloween and pre-holiday traditions, it's more than just my favorite time of the year.

This layout uses two of CTMH's brand new colors just unveiled in the new catalog this month . . . Sunset and Pear.  There are also a few little peaks of paper from the new "Olivia" paper packet.  From the pumpkin patch to pumpkin carving to baking your famous pumpkin pies, you can get tons of mileage from this adorable layout.  It's definitely putting me in the mood to capture those inevitable "gross, this is slimy" look on the kids faces as they are gutting their creations.  Although there are only a few spots for photos, by adding a few flip flaps the possibilities are endless.

“Little Monster’s” - when Tanya saw the new Hooligans paper packet matching felt monsters, she knew she wouldn't be any kind of a consultant unless she created the cutest Halloween page ever.  Of course, the pressure was too intense so I took some very strong ques from a page that was create by the CTMH corporate staff.  OK, she pretty much CASE'd their "Little Monsters" page.   But isn't it adorable?  Besides all of the cute, new Halloween papers and accents, we'll also be using items from the brand new Pear Mini-Medley.  I just can't wait to get this year's trick-or-treating pictures in here.

“You’re a Hoot” – Designed by Marla is Hootabulous!!!  The whimsy of the tree and the owls are something your scrapbook just can’t be without!!

Please make sure to sign up for your pages early!

Sept 2010 – Interactive Workshop $20 – 2 layouts

These pages were designed by Tanya and are Septembers workshop!  The pictures do NOT do them justice as I’m thinking of borrowing a child to take to the zoo just to put this in my scrapbook!!!

 

      

The above “Bring It On” Interactive Layout is designed for a sports themed layout.  With all the choices this month we’re hoping you will find something you just can’t live without! (Tanya’s words!!  and I agree)

September 2010 Layout – FAN*ATIC/School Rules 2 page layouts - $6 each / $7 pre stamped

 

With football season starting up again, it seemed appropriate that I make a Packer's page for my contribution to September's layouts. Although I HATE the colors Green and Gold, I was quite happy to come up with a layout that I didn't hate using the back sides of some of the Stardust papers. The giant football is paper pieced and since I have templates made now, hopefully all future layout makers will have a much easier time with it then I did. Additionally, embellishments include Sunflower and Topiary brads as well as twill ribbon.

Of course I wasn't thinking about our Illinois girls when I designed this page but the good news is there is blue on the back of the green paper! With some minor modifications, you ladies should be all set to go!

Have a fabulous week . . .

Tanya

This layout was created by my sister Caryn, the newest Consultant in our rapidly growing Consultant Community.  She’s been helping me more and more because my full time job and the time I need to spend lounging in the pool has taken up much more of my time lately.  Plus it’s fun to be able to do something we both love together!! 

So Tanya’s page for September is definitely for the Packer Fanatic.  This adorable page is for anyone who is a Fanatic for any sport.

The football shown here can be changed to any time of sports ball, soccer, baseball, golf ball, basketball, volley ball…. you name it we have it.

Above the word Fanatic feel free to add the team name to make it personalized just for your team!

 

Marla created this adorable School Rules layout as the 4th choice for September.  Make sure to sign up for any layout you want so that you’re assured to get one!!

Happy Scrapping! Colette

August - Layout Choices

The great thing about being a CTMH Consultant with a partner is when you are not feeling creative, your partner is there to hold you up! For me, this creative block occured in the month of May/June, so Tanya actually designed this Happy Camper layout and let me use it as my selction for August workshop. I was thrilled to accept her help and especially excited to place my own camping pictures on it!!

For this layout papers from the Back Country Level 2 paper packet were used along with stamps from Campin' Fever. The colors include Outdoor Denim, New England Ivy, Olive, Crystal Blue, Barn Red, Goldrush,Autumn Teracotta, a little Cocoa ink, pewter photo clips and lots of hemp.



From Tanya:
I saw the title "You're My Cherry on Top" on a layout done by one of my favorite artists, Lisa Stenz. I REALLY wanted to make an August workshop layout with that title but, alas, I didn't have what I felt was a proper alphabet font or the perfect space to put such a long title. So, in a continued effort to make really great but really simplified layouts, I went with "You're Sweet" for the title of this one. I'm planning to write "you're my cherry on top" in the journalling lines instead of doing "real" journalling :)

I am using almost a full 1/4 of a My Accents in Tulip pack for each participant. I just HAD to have the Tulip buttons for the cherries and the tiny ribbon and photo clips are adorable.





New in August - One page layouts!! Yummy & Beachy Keen created by our newest CTMH partner, Marla, can be purchased for $3 each. A great addition to our monthly 2 page layouts the one page layouts are a simple solution to the pictures you just can't not scrap, but don't have enough to complete a two page layout.

Please sign up for layouts as soon as you can so that we can be sure to have enough kits available for August workshop.

June/July 2010 - Hostess Club Layouts - Found w/the Heart & You Are My Sunshine & 4th of July

Found with the Heart - Colette:
This page was designed to be used as a Father's Day layout if so desired.
I used the new paper packet entitled Passages (C71268). Everything is distressed in Cocoa and I used the June Stamp of the Month entitled Wonderful Friend (D1422) for the title - which is kind of blurry but reads "The Greatest Treasures are Invisible to the Eye & Found with the Heart". This stamp has the word Dad and an adorable neck tie!



You Are My Sunshine - Tanya:
I'm pretty sure that the new "Splendor" paper packet in the Summer Idea Book is my favorite paper packet ever. EVER. And maybe for all time. Just wait until you all see the Stickease! This is not the last you've seen of this paper :) I designed this layout as an option for Hostess Club members for their June layout. Besides the Splendor paper, I also used "Treasures" stamp set. Colors are Moonstruck, Topiary, Goldrush, and Heavenly Blue. I used some of the white posies from the Just Blooms posies tube (which are on sale starting May 1st!) I also colored some sparkles Moonstruck and Goldrush for flower centers and ribbon tacks.



Marla Krause has decided to join Tanya and I and help design monthly layouts for our groups. This will enable us to offer you all more choices in the future. To start out with, however, we have decided to cram June and July hostess clubs into one day in June to accommodate everyone's crazy summer schedules. So, Marla designed this wonderful 4th of July page as a choice

May 2010 Hostess Club Layouts - Thoroughly Amused & Love's Bloomin all Around

For Love's Bloomin' layout out I used the Bella paper packet and made a paper rose using a circle punch and a simple brad. It looks difficult to make but trust me, this rose is as easy as it is beautiful!!

I designed this page with the thought that it could me used for Mother's Day as what mother doesn't have love bloomin 24/7 for their children!

(Currently Tanya has this layout for her hostess clubs, but as soon as I get it back I'll take a better picture and one focusing on the rose imparticular - I took this with my blackberry and I know it's not the best!)

Thoroughly Amused by Tanya: I used several sheets of B&T and most of the cardstock colors from the Animal Cookies Level 2 paper packet (plus Heavenly Blue to lighten it up a bit) . . . see that little ticket in the corner? It says, "Admit it, you're having fun!" How cute is that! I made sure to have both a portrait and landscape 4 x 6 photo mat so club members can easily add Flip Flaps to this page - I know you all have a ton of Bay Beach, Great America, county fair, etc. pictures laying around.

Even if you are not a member of a Hostess Club you can purchase this pre stamped layout out for $5.

Keep on Scrappin!! Colette

I LOVE My Son/Daughter - Dog/Cat & Get Hoppy!! - Hostess Club April Layouts

For this layout I used two of my new favorite CTMH stamps! Togetherness(D1402)and Cocitail Alphabet (E1015)! I couldn't wait to put the 2 of them together. I used the cardstock sorbet, olive, bamboo, & cocoa and black ink.

Don't be afraid - I have everything pretty much cut out and stamped for you. Depending on the amount of free time I have left this week, it could possible all be done, but not making any promises.

The first page will have some adjustments too for son and daughter, but it's so cute I want to save it for a special surprise seen in person!!! Another one of my new favorite stamps - ok, let's admit it every time I get a new stamp it's my favorite!!
















From Tanya:
I'm going to admit to you all that I had a really hard time getting "hoppy" with this layout. Although I love Easter, I'm not a huge fan of pastel colors. But I tried several different layouts and in the end, I found my "hoppy" place. And now I'm finally ready to introduce my contribution to April's Hostess Club Layouts. (Colette's is done as well so we'll get them posted together soon.)

Just a few notes: the cute little bunny on the bottom is pretty much CASED from Tara Kenyon. Also, the flowers were made using homemade glitter mists and they are FABULOUS! Hostess Club members, you're going to love them!

It's still a bit hard to see in this picture but these flowers are quite shimmery. To give these plain white Just Blooms the color and sparkle, I mixed 1/2 rubbing alcohol to 1/2 pearl paint and then added reinker (amount is based on the color saturation you are going for). I shook it up and sprayed it out of a little 2 oz mister bottle. I couldn't believe how evenly the color went on and how shimmery they got!

February 2010 Layout Choices - You Make Me Smile & Captured Moments

January Hostess Layout - You Rock & Playin' with snow

This will be one of the options available for January 2010 Hostess Club or for purchase of $5. Check out the right column if interested in joining a Hostess club, many spots available!!!

For this layout I used the following Close to My Heart items: Paper, Petal, Grey Flannel, White, Stamp Sets: Poaster Board E1014, Field Trip alphabet E1013, Let it Snow B1182, Blooming Fourishes D1263, Ink Pads: Black Z2105, Grey flannel Z2124, Petal Z2161, White Daisy Z2163, Markers Z2361 Petal, Z2328 Hollyhock, Liquid applique & silver brads

This page was made for a girl, but by choosing a blue marker instead of holly hock the hat and bird can easily be geared toward a boy. Don't be afraid to make this page your own! Omit the flourishes and add more snowflakes and suddenly it's a totally different layout.
