LIVE LOVE LAUGH Wooden Wall Hangings

I made this set of 4 X 4 wooden plaques yesterday and just had to share them.  The colors in the pictures, of course, don't do them justice.  I used some beautiful paper I had in my stash.  Stamped butterflies and dragonflies and cut out the flowers, words and doily from my "Artiste" Cricut Cartridge exclusive to Close to My Heart.  I posted them for sale on etsy.com at my online store kathyjoskreations but would love to keep them myself. 

Creating with Old Paper Packs from CTMH

I'm getting bored waiting for my order to come in from the new SPRING/SUMMER Ideabook from Close to My Heart.  So.... I started making cards for my upcoming card workshop with papers that are still available but not new and a layout with the older Fanfare Paper Pack.  I absolutely love both the ARTISTE and ART PHILOSOPHY cricut cartridge.  The unlimited possibilities you can create with these two cricut cartridges exclusive to Close to My Heart are unbelievable. I kept it simple with stars, arrows, a banner, tags, diecuts that sure add pop to all layouts and cards.

Two of the cards are made with the "Dakota" Paper Pack and the black and white one is made with the new "For Always" paper pack.

This Birthday card was made using the 2nd generation stamping technique.  Simple and fast!!

 

MOM MINI Album

Well I made a DAD mini Album so I certainly needed to complete a MOM album as well.  This MOM album was made with manilla folders, scrapbook paper and cardstock. I added many pockets and tags, a couple CTMH FLIP FLAPS (great way to add photos without taking up more space), stamped images using CTMH acrylic stampsets and lots of embellishments.  Anyone interested in making a MOM MINI ALBUM (with a new CTMH Paper Pack available to purchase on February 1, 2013 from the new SPRING/SUMMER IDEABOOK), please email me at kjbell58@yahoo.com.  Embellishments and paper will be different than pictured album.   I also have the MOM MINI ALBUM  posted on Etsy.com for sale.
