Okay so I know it was early in the month but I couldn't help myself and did a little Easter Photo Shoot with my little girls. It is my youngster's first Easter. Then I paired the pictures with the Penelope Paper pack and created this fun and interactive layout.
The eggs were embossed using our embossing folders and inking the inside before running it through the Big Shot. And for the interactive aspect as you can tell I made TWO sliding window elements and one flap. This is how I made the sliding windows by using cardstock and 3D tape:
I made sure to add stoppers so that it didn't slide all the way out. I also made a slit in my page protectors so that I can open and shut the windows with ease. Reminder: Make sure to add holes at the end of the slits so that they don't tear.
For the flap I created it using our White & Gold ribbon and gluing it in between the pieces of cardstock on the flap and under the piece on the layout. Then I cut a slit in the Memory Protector again for the flap to go through. Then I took a 4x6 Flip Flap and cut off the adhesive part and just slid my flap in there and it was simple and all my pages and photos are well protected and easy to access!
I know this is a lot lol but if you have any questions just ask and I'll reply ASAP! Thanks!

Hello and welcome to CTMH's Technique Blog Hop. This week our featured technique is using the CTMH Thin Cuts.
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 CATSCRAPBOOKING you are in the right place. Now on to my project:
Our new thin cuts are fun, coordinate with a stamp set and easy to use it. So easy a baby could do it:
Sorry, I couldn't resist. When I first got my thin cuts I was testing them out and my one year old wanted to try lol.
Ok so for my project I decided to use the "My Anchor" Stamp set and Thin Cuts. I didn't use much of the thin cuts on this particular project but I still had fun doing this page.The banner thin cut is especially useful to have as it is very versatile. You don't NEED to stamp the coordinating image, you can also write on there or leave it blank and use as an embellishment.
I prefer to stamp/emboss/paint/etc on my paper BEFORE cutting the image with my Big Shot. I had purchased a magnetic board so that cutting out the images is a piece of cake. They don't slide anywhere and center perfectly around my stamped image. It seems if I cut first and then stamp I have more of a chance to mess up or have it go crooked. In that sense you are also dealing withsmaller pieces.
For this page I did some heat embossing. The stamped image at the bottom of the page I stamped the black part first with versamark ink. I put scotch tape over the love part when stamping and then removed it before stamping. Then I heated the powder. Then I repeated the process with the white part. Any questions I'll be happy to answer!
Next I decided to make a page using the Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts on a page. I used it to make the flowers on the page as embellishments. This shows you don't always need to pair up the thin cuts with their coordinating stamp sets.
Special Note: We have currently SOLD OUT of the Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts and are running low on the Spring Critters so hurry up and buy before it's too late!

So I was hosting a big fundraiser Crop at the end of February and I used my water paints to make the name badges and silent auction numbers. It turned out really cute. I used the Artbooking Cartridge to cut out the shapes and draw the black lines and names by hand.
I have been doing a lot of water painting recently. Check out my favorite waterpaint project here. And here is another layout I made using the painting technique. PS. Since it is a potty training page my husband said if i were to put it on the internet I needed to cover the bottom of the pictures. In this page I dropped a bunch of water drops around the page for some "splash" effect.

I used my watercolor paints to make this soft layout featuring my baby girl's first month in the real world. The birds and butterflies are all stamped on some water color cardstock I previously painted. The sun and sentiment was painted and inked directly on the page. Then I swiped some Honey ink in the middle of the sun and around for some extra texture. Any questions or comments I'd love to hear from you! Here is a look at all the stamps included in this set:

I officially hosted my first big crop ever. It was to raise money for the children in Haiti and it was a great success! We raised 750$ that went straight to helping those kids! It's fantastic! Here are some pics of our fun times:
I would just like to thank everyone again for coming down to support me and the cause for Haiti! I look forward to hosting more crops in the future! Look for our group photo in the Summer 2016 Issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine.
