SE1 - New Products Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to CTMH's New Product Blog Hop.


If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can start at the beginning with Melinda's Blog as she has the complete list. If you came here from CRAFTY HAPPY you are in the right place. Now on to my project:


So I decided to play with the Regatta Workshop Your Way Kit. Of course I changed it up to my liking.




Layout #1
For this layout I changed the Journaling piece to one I preferred and the sentiment on the right hand page. I also added White Daisy Cardstock behind my 4x6 photos. And changed the embellishment bunch under the 4x6 photo on the left hand page.





Layout #2
For this layout I added a few of the PML cards under some of my photos as photo mats because I don't like the look of photos all smashed together. I also edited the sizes of the photos on the bottom of the left hand side because I felt like it looked too weird to stretch them all the way to the side. I also changed the title. Note: The title letters are Thickers stickers not CTMH. 





Layout #3
For this layout the only thing I changed was that I swapped the middle B&T pieces around because the boats didn't suit my photos as much. :)

All the layouts came together quite quickly and easily. The photos don't do the papers justice, it looks much better in person than in the catalog. Plus there are a lot of scraps left to make another 2 - 2 page layouts at least if you add cardstock. Or of course the 9 cards and the PML page that goes with the kit. I took a picture of what was all left even after I changed a few small things from the original kit.



See! Lots left over :). I don't pocket scrapbook or do many cards so I'll be making some more pages.

Supply List:
Regatta Workshop Your Way Kit
White Daisy Cardstock
Thickers Stickers (not CTMH)

The shiny white on the pages is our Pearl Paint that we no longer sell. Yes I believe in trying to use up all my stock lol. The puffies I used are the Treasured Gold puffies. I absolutely love them!

Cross Canada Blog Hop - Creating with Watercolor

Hello and welcome to CTMH's Cross Canada Blog Hop. This week we are featuring artwork created by using Watercolors.

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can start at the beginning with Michelle's Blog as she has the complete list. If you came here from SCRAPBOOKING WITH CHERYL you are in the right place. Now on to my project:




I used the water paints to create this layout. On a cut sheet of watercolor cardstock I masked the areas I wanted to keep white with some washi tape and cut strips of cardstock. Then I painted using different colors and blending them together.


I wanted to try and match the colors of my daughter's hat and pajamas with the background. Then I took some of the blue that would match the play doh and sprinkled it in bunches where my photos would go. I did it by wetting my paintbrush a lot, picking up the blue paint and then taping my paintbrush against my finger to make it splatter. 

There are so many possibilities using the water paints, tips and techniques that can be explored. Try to think outside of the box!

Supply List
Lagoon Cardstock
Waterpaint Set
Paint Brush Set
Water Color Cardstock
Laughing Lola Assortment (Retired)
Additional Non-CTMH supplies: Alphabet & Wooden Buttons

CTMH Technique Blog Hop - Bokeh Stamping

Hello and welcome to CTMH's Technique Blog Hop. This week our featured technique is the Bokeh Technique.


If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can start at the beginning with Melissa's Blog as she has the complete list. If you came here from JEN'S MESSY STUDIO you are in the right place. Now on to my project:





I chose to use the Bokeh technique to feature some of my Christmas photos because I feel like it just seems to suit them. The picture looks a little pink-ish but really it's Cranberry Red. I used CTMH's Water based ink pads to do the inking and the White Daisy Pigment ink for the circles. I also did a few circles with the cranberry ink just to add more interest and color. It dried nicely and turned out very good. My title is embossed with white embossing powder and heat dried. I could have also embossed the tree on the right hand page but I kind of liked the Bokeh to show through so I just used the regular water based black ink. If you have any questions just ask and I will answer! <3

Supply List
Cranberry Ink
Fern Ink
Flaxen Ink
White Daisy Ink
Black Ink
Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (to cut the circles sheet)

I am not one for pocket scrapbooking but I love using PML cards on regular decorative scrapbooking layouts. This exclusive set of PML cards coordinate with many of our paper colors but I found that they coordinated beautifully with our Zoe collection. I used many of the cards as photomats on this two page layout. Also, having the black cards with the months written on them are perfect to feature a growing baby! For my kids baby book I always make one two page layout for each month to show their growth and development. I love that I could use the Live Your Day cards for a title for these pages. :)

If you came here from INKY HEARTS PAPERCRAFTING you are in the right place. Now on to my project:



Sorry the picture isn't the greatest quality as it is hard to photograph the gold, it just reflects off my lights lol. I decided to use the Gold & Silver Overlays for this cover page. The black squares are all cut 2"x2" and I cut up some overlays to add some gold interest to the page. I also put one over a white piece of cardstock to write my date. I glued them using our liquid glass. I only realized after gluing everything that I forgot to remove the backing on my overlays :( Whoops. Too late now. It was a very fast and simple page but I still liked the way it turned out! :)

Supply List
Gold & Silver PML Overlays
Black cardstock
White Daisy cardstock
Pomegranate cardstock
