Bring Back My Pack: Seaside

I always get so excited when they bring back those paper suites that you hated to see retire. The Seaside suite uses some of my favorite CTMH colors including: French Vanilla, Lagoon, Smoothie, and Toffee. The paper packet is available in a new slimmed down set. This packet features 6 beautiful pattern paper sheets and a full 12” x 12” sticker sheet. These stickers are perfect for every type of crafter including scrapbooker, card maker, and mixed media. 

In addition to the newly revamped paper packet, the Seaside Greetings stamp set is a beautiful accessory to your cards. The stamp set includes four beautiful images and three sentiments (Birthday Wishes, Thinking of You, and Congratulations).

March Featured Collection: So Much Happy

Hey crafty peeps! Have you checked out this month's featured papers yet? I love the versatility of the So Much Happy collection from Close to My Heart. I wanted to share a few of my projects using this paper line.

First, a graduation card for my sister. I used one of the Picture My Life Cards - So Much Happy (X7241E) and some of retired Glitter Gems for the water. I also added thin strips of the So Much Happy paper featuring candy apple and peach colors. The inside was stamped using a retired ConGRADulations stamp with my Intense Black Exclusive Ink (Z4189).

Next, I created a simple birthday card using papers from the So Much Happy papers. I love the combination of sapphire, mint, and lagoon colors.The lemon really pops on the flower paper in the background. I used one of the Picture my Life Cards for the sentiment. Don't be afraid to cut them up and use the parts you want! Inside I used a basic Happy Birthday stamp to finish this card off.

The last project I worked on was a Picture My Life spread using two Close to My Heart Pocket Plus Memory Protectors. I also busted out the Stamp of the Month - This Happened (S1903)for both the large "These are the moments I want to Remember" and the "Love This" stamps.

That's all I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed my few projects using the So Much Happy collection.
