Summer Vibes Scrapbook Workshop Kit

This is my Summer Vibes Workshop video that is the completion of a Facebook Live event I was giving but had technical difficulties, as they say. The live event stopped for reasons beyond me, so I decided to continue it in the same manner but on YouTube. This is not over dubbed or speeded up. You can cut along with me and create along with me here. My husband and I thought we had everything figured out. We will continue to work towards the Live events. My next event will be working with Bloom with Grace. I can't guarantee it will be on Sept 27th, 2020, since hubby is having health issues. We will see....

Creating a Heart Shaker Card with Tiny Heart Confetti!

This is my first heart shaker card and I wanted to try it out. I love the tiny open and closed heart confetti you can make with the heart thin cuts. Except for my clumsy fingers it is easy to make. 2nd time will be a breeze!! You can use any colors of cardstock or pattern paper you choose. I was adding a touch of fall to mine.

Here's my process video:

Supplies:

Heart Shaker Window Thin Cuts

Heart Shaker Window Foam + Acetate

Paper and Cardstock

Adding New Colors to the CTMH Color Palette

This is a quickie video of how I label and organize the annual Close To My Heart addition and subtraction of colors. CTMH has their finger on the pulse of trends including colors. We have 7 new colors and discontinued colors. Every year we have a Color of the Year. This year it is Blue Belle, a grayish blue color. My stamps live in our Workspace Wonder Stamp Pad carousel (8 stamp pad stacks make up the carousel). The cardstock is kept in a Kallax from Ikea. 

Supplies

1. Workspace Wonder Carousel Top & Bottom
2. Workspace Wonder Stamp Pad Stack
3. Organization

Thanks for watching!

Bloom With Grace Cricut Collection Layouts

 These 2 layouts are created with the Bloom with Grace Cricut collection. The beautiful sunflowers and pumpkins were fun to make. The sunflower layout is all thought out for you. The entire layout is one of the images in the collection. All you do is feed the paper into your Cricut! Amazing!! The pumpkins I cut out are in lots of different sizes. I large one had to be a background for a picture and the smaller ones just wanted to be haphazard on the side. Sometimes the layouts just tell you what to do!

Supplies:

1. Bloom with Grace Workshop
2. Bloom with Grace Coordinating Cardstock
3. Bloom with Grace Coordinating Cricut Cuts
4. Bloom with Grace Picture My Life Cards

Thanks for coming by!!

A Cricut Picnic with Summer Vibes Papers from Close To My Heart

The first time I saw the red gingham paper from the Summer Vibes collection I thought of a picnic. The next thing that come to mind is watermelon with homemade ice cream following. So here is my interpretation using these papers with the coordinating Summer Vibes Cricut collection. I love the holographic sunglasses and bedazzled flip flops along with the "Chill" title (meant to be a pun). *The Summer Vibes Workshop with and without page protectors is still available even though it is from the prior catalog. The layout inspiration came from "Make It From Your Heart" vol. 3.
