Title Page for 2000 Scrapbook using Bella Blvd Molly Collection

I realized that I haven't added any recent projects to the blog in the past couple of weeks.

I've been spending a lot of time in my craftroom lately and finally finished my albums for 2000.
I ended up splitting the year into 2 books because one was just too thick with all the extra Flip Flaps™ that I included.

I was able to get a matching album in the CTMH clearance section, so I have both in the Slate Circle post bound album and I changed out the posts that are included with the album to smaller 1" posts so all the pages are laying nice and flat.

I've also started on my 2001 album, which won't be as thick since we didn't have as many pictures printed for that year.  

Here is the title page for my 2000 album:

I chose a couple of leftover photos that didn't have a theme but were taken at the beginning of the year.  My son is a clown and I have lots of pictures of him making faces for the camera.


For this layout, I used a free sketch that I downloaded from Scrapbook Generation and the Bella Blvd Molly Collection.

I created the two titles in the Cricut Design Space App using the Augenblick Font.  

I love how intricate the cut is using my Cricut Explore.   The title was cut out of plain Black cardstock and I added some shine with my CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush.  I also applied it to the Thin Cuts Hearts at the top of the page.


Products Used:

• CTMH White Daisy Cardstock
• CTMH Black Cardstock
• CTMH Teal Shimmer Trim
• CTMH Shimmer Brush—Clear
• CTMH Thin Cuts—Hearts
• Bella Blvd Molly Collection - Papers and Embellishments

Card for CAS(E) this Sketch 203

When I saw sketch 203 over at CAS(E) this Sketch it reminded me right away of the Adorning Accents edgelit die and embossing folder set that I bought years ago from SU.

I made my card using the new CTMH Sugar Rush cardstock.  The stamped images are from the new Sugar Rush - Cardmaking stamp set and the Thanks sentiment is from the Thin Cuts—Hello & Thanks set that came out in the latest Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  

I added a touch of glitter to the Thanks sentiment with my CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush and the You're the Sweetest was heat embossed with Ranger™ White Super Fine Embossing Powder on Pomegranate cardstock.  The donut is stamped with Champagne, Sea Glass and Pomegranate Exclusive Inks™ and popped up with foam tape.

I'm sure I'll be making more cards with this sketch - great way to get more use out of those tools that have been sitting on the shelf.  

Love & Laughter Wedding Card

I had a wedding to go to this weekend so I pulled out my new supplies from the Occasions Mini again.  I think these new dies will be something that I will use over and over this year.  The Big Shot is my favorite thing from Stampin' Up and I love all the new dies and folders that they keep coming out with. 

Supplies Used:

Card Stock: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ribbon: Whisper White

From the Occasions Mini:
Hearts Collection - Framelits Die
Adorning Accents - Edgelits Die
Adorning Accents - Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
Love & Laughter Stamp Set

It is hard to see in the picture, but I did also emboss the bottom piece of cardstock with the same hearts and lined them up with the red cardstock.
