Graduation Favors

I know I know I post late Christmas cards and now graduation favors; what am I thinking. LOL Our family seems to do everything backwards. I've been busy getting my son graduated as well as the holidays. He decided to stay an extra semester to finish a minor while he had scholarships still paying.


They're made with CTMH's small paper pouches and a stamp I've had in my stash. You can find the bags on the while Supplies Last section of my website for only $1.50 for 20 of them.  I filled them with smarties and then sealed them up. I wanted to tie a ribbon on the top but I couldn't find my orange ribbon so they didn't get any. Oh well.
I'm so proud of him and how much he's accomplished in the last 4 years. In two weeks we'll be helping him pack up his apartment and he'll be moving to Florida to work for Disney and go for his Masters in Family & Youth counseling at University of Central Florida. I'm going to miss him so much. He truly is my sonshine each and every day.

Have a great day and come back tomorrow for a sneak peak of January's promotions and some new products coming in January.

Merry Christmas & some cards

Merry Christmas (late) and a Happy New Year to all of my scrappy friends. I have really neglected my blog lately and I hope you'll for give me. I've had moments of no scrapping to moments of mega scrapping so I have lots to catch up on. First up how about some Christmas cards. I made up a batch out of my leftover Christmas papers to send out to my friends.


They're made from last years Pear & Partridge paper, still some of my favorites and one of last years stamp sets. You could of course use any paper or stamps to create them. I colored the images with CTMH's new alcohol markers. Such fun! I love coloring. Bakers twine finished them off. I kept them fairly flat because I was sending them postal and I wanted them to arrive safely.










If you're ready to scrap all your Christmas photos don't miss out ordering from the Holidays from the heart Gift Guide. You only have a few more days to take advantage of the December Promotion and all the goodies in the guide.

It's About to get Wild

 Welcome to the SG Blog Hop for December, if this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.



I've been a very bad blogger lately but a very productive scrapper. Now if I could just do the both at the same time. Recently I participated in a class with some fellow online friends using Allison's 6x6 class. It was great fun and I learned how much I love working with 6x6 papers. For this particular paper I cut 12x12 down to 6x6 to use since I have a limited supply of 6x6 papers. Well i did have a limited supply but since this class I've acquired a lot more. LOL

I used the following products to complete my layout
CTMH's Babycakes paper
Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge
C1558 Wild Wonders Stamp set
CTMH Keyboard Kraft AlphabetCTMH Ink Pads - Chocolate, Buttercup, Sunset

You can find the SG sketches in their books and as downloads in the SG store, and there is a free one every month in case you wanted to try it out. Allison's 6x6 Paper Pad class can be purchased here as well.

That completes this hop so be sure to head back to Scrapbook Generation, leave a comment on each blog and one lucky commenter will receive a free sketch bundle of their choice from the store. The winner will be draw on December 9th, so you have one week to leave a comment.

Sneak Peek at Picture My Life

 Do you love documenting memories in minutes? The new Picture My Life scrapbooking program is meant for quick and beautiful memory keeping. The program comes in eight themes, all based on the gorgeous designs of some of CTMH's most popular paper packets. Whether you choose to embrace a single theme or mix and match for a truly unique look, you'll love the ease, affordability, and beauty of the Picture My Life programs. Your own photos are all you need to add to make astounding artwork in no time at all!
Each program has a theme, from childhood to friendship to travel, but each collection is varied in design and style so you can easily apply the cards to other themes or among your traditional scrapbook pages. Say you love the palette and designs of the Babycakes program but wish to apply a "family" theme - it's easy so go ahead do it! With a large quantity of product in each collection you will be able to craft creative arrangements all your own.

Each collection includes 122 double-sided cards plus 10 unique Memory Protectors to capture life as it happens, and their versatility and gorgeous designs will transform your albums into masterpieces.

On one side of each card is space for journaling, and on the other you'll find artistic sentiments and icons. Each collection is designed to accommodate approximately 100 photos in your included Memory Protectors, so with a balance of photos and cards, you'll finish with about 20 remaining cards. That means you have plenty of choice and flexibility in which cards you choose to include, making it uniquely yours! Of course, you can easily use more or fewer photos in your project to suit your story's needs.


Unique to Picture My Life is the included 12" x 12" double-sided cover page with each individual collection, using a beautiful My Reflections pattern. True to Close To My Heart standards, the cover page offers a finished and cohesive look to your project with it's featured high-quality design. The Picture My Life program is so versatile that you'll find dozens of other ways to incorporate it into your papercrafting. Use the cards to expand other projects you've started!  For example, if you just got back from the trip of a lifetime and wonder how you will capture all of the details, mix the Picture My Life cards with your photos to extend your scrapbook pages. Choose your very favorite photos to scrapbook on 12" x 12" two-page layouts then use coordinating Picture My Life cards and your remaining photos to document the rest of your trip in minutes.


This program is yet another new, fresh addition and option for memory keepers to preserve their memories. The cards enhance the scrapbooking experience—making it even more fun—and they work brilliantly in mini albums, My Crush™ books, as journaling cards on your 12" × 12" classic scrapbook pages, or as gift cards and tags.

All the collections will be available in February in the new Spring/Summer Idea Book. Aren't you excited to get your hands on one or more of them? I know I am.
This month if you Join My Team you can earn one FREE collection of your choice before it's available to our customers and be able to purchase all of your CTMH products at a discount! How fabulous is that? Check out the previous post for all the details.
