November Project Highlight - Serenity

The new November/December mini catalog from Close To My Heart was just released and the Serenity Paper Pack is just absolutely beautiful! It has a winter feel to it but I changed it around to highlight photos of my niece's Graduation a few years ago. Everyone was wearing blue and I thought my photos went so well with this paper pack! Serenity is the Paper Pack I am featuring this month and will be teaching this as a Virtual Workshop in December!

October Project Highlight - Comfort and Joy Scrapbook Workshop Kit

I worked with the Comfort and Joy Scrabook Workshop Kit and just love how our Christmas Photos from last year went so well with the papers. I followed the instructions but just changed the photo sizes for the third layout. I added a 5x7 photo and made the 4x6 photos Horizontal on the third layout. Overall I was happy with how the layouts came out! If you haven't tried our workshop kits, this is one you will love. The design is already pre-designed for you! This paper pack is only available until the end of October so get this paper pack now while it is still available.

October Project Highlight - Party Time

This month I worked with the Party Time Paper pack from the Close to My Heart Core Product Catalog. This paper pack is so versatile! I used one paper pack to make layouts for both my son and my daughter. You can choose to make your pages as girly or boyish or neutral as you like - all from the same paper pack! And the great thing about this paper pack is that it is available for an entire year since its in the Core Catalog! I bet you have a ton of Birthday Party pictures to scrap and this paper pack can be used for it! Here are some layouts that I made for the kids birthday albums. They grow up so fast! Now they are taller than me! This paper pack would be great for making Birthday cards too!
