Fall Events Scrapbooking Layouts

 Fall is my favorite time of the year. Changing leaves, pumpkin patches, and Trick or treat all mean fall fun for me. Here are a few layouts I completed this week.

New Close to my Heart Cricut Artbooking Layouts

I  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new Close to my Heart  Cricut cartridge ARTBOOKING . These layouts were done using it. The first one is a First day of school. I just love the fonts that are welded together, and the ruler is adorable. Did you notice the frame around the First day ?? The numbers are cut attached to the frame. There are approx. 16 different layouts that use just a few keys on the cartridge to accomplish the entire layout. So easy!!!!

 

 

 

The next layouts show off the overlays. I think they are over the top. They compliment the pages so well. This layout is using retired paper that matches my Florida pool water really well. And the layout shows off my grandson having fun. Again the layout used just a few keys on one page of Artbooking to cut the pieces for this layout(minus the fish and seahorse). 

 

       Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I sort of hoard fall colored paper. This paper is from about 9 years ago, but I love it. The tree overlay is awesome Then I used the cut outs of the leaves for a pattern to cut different papers for the look of leaves that are changing color. Again the welded words set the pages off.

       
          This next layout was one of my favorites from the get go. The ornament overlay is so cute. I used background and texture paper for a few frames, and to use behind the cut out ornaments.

                
          On this last layout, I used the same layout as above, but only used cardstock and no patterned paper. I really like the simplicity of this layouts also.                    

              The possibilities are endless with the new cartridge.
If you are interested- you can see my samples and layouts. You can order by going thru my online business account
scrappydeb.ctmh.com. I know you will love the cartridge as much as I do.

 

           Don't you just love the new Designer Frames from Close to my Heart. This kits has the frame, B size stamp set used on the mats, 33 precut kraft paper die cuts, 6 mini clothes pins, and 1 yard of baker's twine. I used brads to attach my diecut shapes to the photos that were adhered to cardstock, so that I can change out the photos and mats and still keep the die cut kraft mat to use again with new photos. I used a E sized stamp set for the banner title( not included in the kit). This came together in about an hour and that is with printing my photos also. LOVE LOVE LOVE this kit !!!!!. It will make a great Christmas present also. The kit sells for $35.95 I still have several pieces of precut dies  and some twine left for another project. You can buy the frame separately also for $26.95

ANYBODY READY FOR CHRISTMAS IN JULY???

 I'm ready for some Christmas in July. Are YOU????
I thought I'd do Christmas cards in July. Something easy, because of all the preparation of getting ready for convention this year. I made over 100 cards to swap in less than a month. I'm planning on a Saturday 9:30am class July 27th, or Monday July 29 class at 6:30pm. We will be making 8 cards for $10. Please RSVP by July 21 so that I can get everything cut and ready for you. Please bring your favorite adhesive also.

 

Then on August 10th at 10am I'm having an open house to show off our new products and idea book. I really love the new stamps and our new Cricut cartridge is amazing, awesome, and then some. You can see the new Cricut cartridge on my blog-debsdistressingscraproom.blogspot.com I will have samples available to touch and feel And I hope to have the Sept class example ready to show off. I am going to try to weed out my stamp sets-I have too many(lol). And I will have some used and new stamps to sell also. I need to make room for new products. Sure hope to see you here at Deb's scraproom. Email me for direction if needed.

  

Viva Convention Layouts

At convention we usually get a stamp set just for the consultants that attend. Corp already had a template ready for us to make 2 layouts. I changed mine somewhat. One of the consultants that I swapped cards with at convention made a Mickie Viva bookmark. I used that on my layout. I have the perfect pictures from the banquet of my new friends and our great food for this layout ordered from snapfish on their way.

 

Then the next layout is also using that same specialty paper and stamp set. It was supposed to be tone on tone(same color stamped ink on same color cardstock), but I used the colors in the paperpack to color the leaves and flowers. I thought it turned out really cute.

Close to my Heart has a new Cricut Cartridge

Just returned from convention and we have a new cricut cartridge. It's so neat.

 Close to My Heart has done it again and has given us

 ANOTHER fabulous Cricut cartridge called Artbooking !

  That makes three CTMH Cricut cartridges,

 each unique and different from the rest. 

 I use mine all the time, and love creating great projects with each.

Artbooking comes with 700 different cuts:

* 30 Themed DOUBLE Page Layouts (total of 60 layouts) all size coordinated

* 10 Themed Mini Albums (8x8, 6x6, 5x7) with minimum 8 pages each

* Full page and partial page overlays (square and rectangles of each overlay) which can also be used as stencils for inking or misting

* Many phrases

* Themed accessory images

* Themed and decorated photo mats

* Font

* And so much more!

 This cartridrge is great for cards, gifts or home décor, can be re-sized and used as pieces for many kinds of projects!  This cartridge was designed with the scrapbooker in mind, but can also used for cards and other papercrafts!

Watch for upcoming projects.
 Here are a few pages from the New Artbooking handbook.

And so much more....

 

I can't wait for mine to get here. This will be available August 1st to purchase. This one is a must have. If you want to order please contact me. scrappy55@msn.com or order from my online business account scrappydeb.ctmh.com

Cards I've made for swapping at convention

    Cards I've made for swapping at CTMH Convention this year.

    We are to use all Close to my Heart
product and current paper so that other consultants can make this style of card. I chose for this one to use no B & T paper.
The flowers and leaves were stamped and colored in with watercolor pencils, the fence was stamped and then hand cut in shape of posts, the grass was cut out with the Cricut machine. The ribbon is retired though.

This card was easy also. No B&T paper used. Punched circles with CTMH punch. Arranged in a circle. stick is a sucker stick, ribbon is from craft store. Alphabet is CTMH -A Typeface. Sweet!!!!!

  This card is a gate fold card. Because convention will be in  so close to July 4th, I thought this card would be appropriate. The paper pack is retired though, but stamp set is current. The ones I made to swap have a clear button with red  cardstock under it and is placed in the center of the star.

  What's better than a slice of cake for a birthday card. I love this card, BUT it's totally cut out by hand, I made them with yellow, orange and pink 
B & T paper. Flame is using our Glitz glitter gel. Love it!!!!

This card is very simple. 5 different B&T papers( which will help you use up scraps), some bakers twine to match, a simple sentiment. And you have an easy, quick Birthday card.





I made some specialty cards, but I won't reveal them yet. The card box is not done yet. Hope you enjoy!!!

I can't wait to come back from convention, have an open house to show off all the new stuff,  and release the new Idea Book to you. I'll keep you posted.
