Welcome to Day 8 of the CTMH Idea Book reveal! Today I want to share with you a layout inspired by page 21 of the new Idea Book (if you have one you can look it up and see what I am talking about- and remember you can also view the idea book online).
As soon as I saw that single page in the Idea book I knew I had to recreate it- with my own twist of course! This layout does not feature any of the stamping that the other one does- I instead used the Skylark complements to fill in the places that would have featured some stamping. I love to stamp but I also know that not everyone feels the same way- this shows the versatility of our product line!
The other thing that I added to this layout (beyond a second page) is a piece of the Skylark Picture my Life kit. You can see it in the close up photo below- I used one of the cards and created a nice little spot to feature my journaling!

Since I wrote this post a week ago I have created a video to go along with this layout- a great step by step so you can create your own! Check it out!

Photo development is always something that scrapbookers do not take lightly! Finding a quality service that is quick, has great quality and a variety of sizes (or even the ability to create your own sizes) is rare. Wouldn’t it be great if you had something like this and it came right to your door within a week?!
We do- its called Studio J!
Let me take you step by step through the process. You can click on any of the photos to be taken to Studio J on my website- if it is your first time you will need to create an account (don’t worry it is free and you pay for nothing in the Studio unless you want to purchase it!)
You will create a project and title it whatever suits you- I chose ‘February Photo Development’ so that I knew what and when the photos were from.
You will be prompted to upload photos- you can do this now OR do it later. You do not need to wait for the photos to load before you move on in the project. They will continue to load as you work on the next few steps.
At your next screen you will chose to ‘Start with an Express Collection’
This is the screen you will see next- you want to select the collection that is ‘Photo Development’
Your next screen will have you chose a layout to add your photos too- you will start with one but can add more as you work on your project. There are five different layout styles to chose from.
Now you can add more layouts OR add your photos- one thing to keep in mind is you need a minimum of four layouts in order to ship your order- this is easily done for most people 🙂
To add your photos just drag and drop them from the menu on the left (a check mark will appear once you have used them). To add another layout just click on the ‘Add Layout” button in the bottom right corner (and chose to work in the same express collection you are currently in).
Here is what a full layout will look like- don’t forget you can change the filter of your photos to black and white or sepia.
Once done you will chose the ‘Buy project’ button on the bottom right and the program will prompt you to ‘approve’ your layouts and then you can check out! You will have your goodies in a week and a file will be emailed to you with the JPEGs of all your purchased layouts.

Oh my goodness- I am a little excited to show you today’s project and featured items!!! Of course welcome back to Day 7 of the CTMH Idea Book Reveals… and today’s project which not only features one of our great new products BUT an exclusive one!! You read that right- this one is exclusive and you can ONLY get it when you host a party!
WHAT?! NO FAIR!!
Nope, absolutely fair- maybe you don’t realize how easy and fun a party can be? If you live in Central Ontario (or sometimes even other parts as I like to travel) I will come to you and we can have a lovely home party OR a hostess-designed workshop- whatever you like! If you are not local don’t worry! I have something for you too! We could have an online Facebook party- they are sometimes even BETTER than an in house party as no one needs to worry about weather, finding sitters or getting dressed to leave the house! Just contact me (and believe me you will WANT to!) If you want to find out a little bit more about hosting please click on the “Be a Hostess” tab above.
Here is our super sweet project- a card featuring that exclusive item- the ‘Unicorn Dreams’ stamp set… it is too cute for words!!!
The card itself is pretty simple- I stamped the unicorn in hollyhock ink and stamped the sentiment over top in black ink. I added some paper to the top and a strip of paper folded up across that for some dimension. Then I finished it off with a few more of those sequins from the lollydoodle cardmaking workshop on the go kit!
Easy, cute and I so LOVE the quote!!!

Welcome back to the 6th day of the CTMH Idea Book reveal- I hope you have been enjoying yourself and if there is anything you would like to see featured or shown in an upcoming post be sure to let me know! In FACT- although you can view the full Idea Book online at this link– if you are in Canada and place an order through me I will also send you a real version FREE! Just email me once you place your order and I will send it the next day.
Today I am featuring a layout I created using a variety of products. One of the things I love most about our current spring/summer line of products is the VERSATILITY it offers! So many of the products can mix with other items and will match beautifully! In this layout I have mixed two different lines- Ivy Lane and Balloon Ride.

Welcome to Day 5 of the CTMH Idea Book reveal- today I have more in store for you than other days.
I have a winner to announce, a blog hop to share with you AND of course product to reveal with a project!!
First: THE WINNER of the Balloons stamp set featured yesterday is…
Then we have a project and a blog hop (all in one!) The blog hop is one featuring NEW product reveals on my blog (which you know since you are here) and blogs of my team members. To participate all you need to do is follow the link below to the next person on the hop and so on. At the end you will be directed back to this page.
This card was one I made for my Dad’s 56th birthday just a few weeks ago. I love that it was simple yet turned out to be so cute!
I used some of our natural baker’s twine and overlapped pieces of our washi tape- the cut them to be in the shape of a pennant. Since you can never have too much washi tape and it is so easy to use this was a great way to use some up! I also stamped a simple sentiment on the bottom of the card in lagoon ink- the stamp is one of the exclusive stamp sets you receive in the Cricut Artiste collection.

So glad to see you on Day 4 of our CTMH Idea book reveal!! I promised you yesterday that I would share a card created with the prize for yesterday’s challenge (which if you have not done or entered into yet be sure to do so- you have until tonight!)
I love how this card turned out! I stamped the balloons on several pieces of cardstock using the same colour of ink (this is called tone on tone stamping). I then cut them all out by hand and placed them on my card with some 3D foam tape to give them life (some are glued flat to the card as well). My balloon lines are hand drawn and I added some of the adhesive sequins from the Lollydoodle card workshop (they were leftovers and so fun!) My sentiment is cut out and stamped using the Cricut Artiste cartridge collection.

Welcome back! Day 2 of the CTMH Idea book reveal features a cute card with a oh-so-popular hot air balloon! I am seeing these EVERYWHERE in fashion, home decor and of course papercrafts!
My card is a basic 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 card on lagoon card stock. I used the CTMH Artiste cartridge to cut out my clouds. The hot air balloon was hand cut (it turned out so well I didn’t mind at all) and paper pieced together. I used some of our glitter paper to add some bling to the balloon and then also added a bit to the bottom of the card under the sentiment.

Remember- if you shop on my website you will be entered into the draw for the HOSTESS REWARDS!
