Panda Thank you from the Bottom of My Heart

Here's another little sneak peek! I have been waiting ages for Close To My Heart to come out with a "Panda," stamp. The panda is the mascot of the school where I work so I thought it would come in very handy for cards and such. I had almost given up hope, but in this catalog there are not only one, but two stamp sets with a panda stamp. My favorite is this one below! Yes, I only got the stamp set for one image! But I do hope to use the other stamps sometime. 😉

I worked on a little card and colored the panda with my ShinHan markers. I used foam tape to pop up a little punched heart to go with my sentiment. Bonus points if you can name the retired paper I used for the background of the card!

Layout Share and Sneak Peek for New Catalog

If you follow my Facebook page, you will have been seeing a lot of sneak peeks for the upcoming CTMH catalog which goes live on August 1st. I thought I would include some here as well. I made the layout below with older paper but the letters, "VCPC," are made with CTMH's new Thin Cuts (die cut) Block  Alphabet! I also used their new Gold Pearls as an accent on the journaling block and on the lower right side. 

I used foam tape to pop up the die cut letters, which you can see a bit better in this view. 

Here are the items from the new catalog that I used on the layout.

Gold Pearls (pack of 90)

The new catalog also has Bashful Pearls (pink) and White Pearls. I like using pearls as an accent on scrapbook pages since it adds dimension without too much bulk.

Thin Cuts—Block Alphabet

This will be such a helpful tool for layout titles!

No Worries Layouts

Back in April, my daughter's Girl Scout troop took a trip to Northbay Adventure Camp and I went along for fun! I used the No Worries paper pack and Complements to scrapbook our pictures. I've been trying to think in terms of embellishment clusters so I also used my Swirly Seashells Stamp + Thin Cuts and some random Picture My Life cards that I have to add little something extra to the layouts.
