Every Little Thing

There's so much to love in our new Seasonal Expressions Idea Book (Sept-Oct 2019) from Close To My Heart!

Soft Florals/feminine colours AND Fall/masculine colours that you can enhance further or even add to which I've discovered...we've created a Mix-In paper packet to extend and add to our current Every Little Thing AND Hawthorn paper suites! Check them out!

Every Little Thing

Hawthorn

Mix-In
This layout is a combination of our Every Little Thing AND Mix-In paper collections...added to that our newest Hawthorn Scrapbooking Stamp & Thin Cut set...which I am IN LOVE WITH!!!


I've used Sangria, Paprika and Goldrush inks to create these rock n'roll technique stamped leaves...super fun and they look real. Vellum hearts and leaves from the ELT collection and some doodled lines with our awesome new journalling pens!

Thank you… now on to our hop!


You should have arrived from Brenda's Blog


This was a fun card we created at my all day crop this past weekend...
lovin' our new Julep Colour of the Year! 

This month's Stamp of the Month is perfect for cardmaking and scrapbook pages...the sentiments are great and the font combo is fantastic too!



This page was created from the scraps left over from this month's Page Club class...plus I've added the Every Little Thing Complements...love the solid black chipboard pieces and how some of them have white embossed elements on them too.


I decided to add our new mix-ins paper pack to use with both paper collections, Every Little Thing and Hawthorn, which I'll be showcasing over the next two months! CTMH has hit it outta the park with these new and improved mix-in paper packs as they have been designed specifically to support our two paper collections in the Seasonal Expressions Idea Books...

In case you missed it, our new colour of the year Julep is available in all our products; cardstock, inks, shimmer pens, glitter paper, embellishments...you get the idea!


Check out these wood shapes! and Julep sequins! everything on this page makes me happy...paper, embellishments and of course photo! 

Take note of those typewriter stickers...we had them from a retired paper collection and because we have consistent colours...I can incorporate products from past collections into newer ones because we do even through changing Idea Books!

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to get creative using some of the designs, products and techniques seen along the way.

Join us again next month when we will be featuring more artwork from our NEWEST Seasonal Expression Idea Book! 

So mark October 10th on your calendars and hop along with us when we feature our Hawthorn collection!

This month we have many Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using product just released from our newest Seasonal Expression Idea Book!




Welcome our newest colour JULEP to the Close To My Heart family!!! 


This quite possibly could become your new favourite colour, as it has mine!

I created this layout using some of our *new Mix-In papers, Julep cardstock and Julep Glitter paper.  (I will have a full list at the end of this post)


Time to get more trip photos scrapbooked and into albums! This was a selfie taken at the top of a tower in a heritage park in Thailand...it was a scorcher of a day, super humid AND all females had to cover their arms and legs to enter the park.




I've used a SVG cut for the stacked 'joy' title and backed the 'O's with scraps of the mix-in pack. I also cut out several leaves from Charcoal cardstock and used our *new Thin-Cuts layered Leaves, which has been added to my favourite things list as well!


We joined forces with renowned calligraphy and lettering expert Melissa Esplin...I've added the image 'today, I choose joy' from the *new Joy by Melissa Esplin exclusive stamp set! This was stamped in Charcoal ink and backed on White Daisy cardstock, cut from our Stitched Circle Thin Cut die. The Julep glitter paper matting this sentiment was cut from the inside of the Shaker Thin Cut die...I absolutely LOVE the fonts used in this set.


You may have also noticed the lovely butterfly above?...meet our Exclusive Stamp & Thin Cut included in the *new Every Little Thing Cardmaking Workshop kit! Ummmm...yes please!
