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.

True Love Kids Thank You

My creative time has been fleeting lately so a few hours to create today was a treat. I decided to do some coloring with my ShinHan Touch Twin markers and used the ultra cute True Love stamp set along with the retired Dream Pop papers (you know I'm a hoarder, right?). The "Thanks," sentiments is from the retired Cricut Artiste Word Balloons stamp set. I like how it all came together!

Prima Doll in the Snow

I used the, "Winter," thin cuts with the Black glitter paper and the "Snowflakes" die cuts with the Silver glitter paper on my latest pocket letter!

Winter Themed Cards

Here's a picture of some cards I've been working on. I'm really enjoying using the Thin Cuts. I used the Cozy Christmas Thin Cuts Bundle for the snowman card and the Snowflakes Thin Cuts for the top two cards. And, of course, I'm still playing with the CTMH Cricut Flower Market cartridge (wreath card).
