Dots Scrapbooking is a Close To My Heart consultant blog. Learn about scrapbooking, card-making, and papercrafting. Learn how to incorporate different techniques such as, embossing, die-cuts, Cricut images, etc. into your creations.
I am combining three challenges I just created on one blog post. Several of my favorite are Mojo Monday, Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and Color Dare Color Challenge. The sketches are MojoSketch 523, AHSC 335 and Color Dare 362. Here are my challenges:
The fun part is combining the Color Dare challenges with the sketches so you get a 2 for 1. Can't beat that!!
Here are the cards I came up with (with a little help from my friends). You should be hearing the Beatles in your head now ;-).
Close To My Heart's Craft With Heart is a scrapbook subscription that can be delivered to you monthly or quarterly. There are 2, 2-page layouts per month that are fun and easy to put together. They are perfect as is or you can add to them for further creativity. You Decide!! On this video I've added embellishments to one of the 2-page layouts just to show you how easy that can be.#closetomyheart#scrapbooking
These are beautiful cards to create and can be used for many occasions. They are perfect to keep in your ready to go card stash for a "hello" or "thinking of you" cards. The kit comes with gorgeous Julep green sparkle gems along with a coordinating stamp and thin cut set and 16 cards and envelopes. There are 4 designs to make 4 cards of each design. We have Every Little Thing Vellum Die-cuts and Complements that can also be used to embellish the cards. #closetomyheart#scrapbooking
Oh my goodness, I LOVE this paper collection called Every Little Thing. The colors are so beautiful together. Two of the colors are new to CTMH. The new colors are Wisteria, which is a lovely lavender or light purple and Julep, which is a medium green. The layouts in the Every Little Thing kit are detailed yet easy to create. What makes them easy are the six 12 x 12 pages of die cuts. They make life so much easier!!

The second picture is the paper pack so you can get a better idea of the papers:
Here are the 3 videos to show you how easy it is to put these pages together:
I am ready for fall!
I love these single pages from the Hawthorn kit. This layout is so perfect for your autumn pictures. The colors are great and will go with any fall colors. Especially wonderful are the background papers that look like cardboard. Such a great neutral! The pages are easy to do because there are 4 pages of die cuts on pop out pages.
Supplies:
Texas has had temps 10 degrees higher than normal and I want COOL weather! Making fall scrapbook pages and cards is reminding me that cooler winds will prevail. Bring them on!!
I love these single pages from the Hawthorn kit. One is Back to School and the other is fall. They are easy to do in part because there are 4 pages of die cuts on pop out pages. The other embellishments are from a 6 x 12 kraft chipboard sheet and a 12 x 12 sticker sheet.
Here is a very easy to make. I used the fall color papers from the Hawthorn collection that is available until October 31st. The stamp of the month (September) is perfect for cards! You can use this easy card layout with any of your papers, depending on the occasion, and it will look very different. Supply List:
