This might look familiar...

Last week I took part in a blog hop with the Heartfelt Sentiments team.  I made this door hanger using the Chalk It Up paper pack.  I decided to do another one and give them to both of Brandon's teachers for a little back to school gift.   

My girl has been very sick since Sunday morning, so I haven't had much time to work on CTMH.  Sorry for the repeat and kinda repeat artwork :)  I am hoping to get some more stuff done this week so I can share it with you!  I just purchased several of the new ShinHanart markers and I am in l.o.v.e.  They are fab.  I did use a few on the image above.  

Hope you have a fabulous Thursday!!

Video Time!

I love the videos that CTMH has on youtube.com!  They are very informative.  The following is a brief look at the Picture My Life Scrapbooking Program (PML).  Ya'll know I love it.  Monica explains it much better than I do!    


During the month of August, when you purchase any of the 13 available Picture My Life™ scrapbooking programs featured in the 2014–2015 Annual Inspirations idea book at their full retail price of $24.95, you are eligible to add your choice of 1 of 8 qualifying Memory Protectors™ 10-packs for just $3! Each Picture My Life scrapbooking program already includes a coordinating 10-pack of Memory Protectors, so when you add your additional 10-pack for only $3 you will be well on your way to your own picture-perfect pocket scrapbooking adventure!

Not So Scaredy

I wanted to figure out a way to use this paper pack without using it as a Halloween theme.  Success!  I haven't decided on a title yet.  Any suggestions?  I think it would be perfect for a teen girl/friends layout.  Luckily, I have one of "those" people in my house.  HA!  Otherwise, any other suggestions for themes for this layout?  I did get help on the design from CTMH.  If you would like one like this let me know!  I can show you how. :)

  
Here is Scaredy Cat paper pack.  Pretty cute...and more versatile than I thought it would be!  



On the layout I also used Scaredy Cat Assortment and Black Striped Twill Ribbon.  Click on the link and it will take you right to it.

Welcome to the Heartfelt Sentiment's paper packet blog hop.  This month we feature Chalk It Up!  If you are coming from Marianne you are on the right track. I love this new kit we are showcasing.  So cute!  Just in time for those first days of school photos we are all taking (whether our children are happy about that or not!).  I chose to make a first day of school teacher's gift.  I cut out the door hanger using the Cricut Art Philosophy (Pg 25 Fit to Page).  The paper background was cut from Cricut Artbooking (pg 42 cut at 4") and stamped with an image from Take Note (D1574).  

The stamped image is from Great Job (C1588).  I used Black Ink and the brand new ShinHan Touch Twin Markers--Y222 Golden Yellow and B68 Turquoise Blue.   I also used a blending pen  for those colors I don't have in markers yet.  I am loving these new markers!!
I cut the images out and glued it to the paper.  I then added puffy stickers from the 
Chalk It Up Assortment (Z3009).  

I put some microwave popcorn in the sleeve of the door hanger.  It fit perfect.  As soon as I find out what their favorite drink is, I will hang this hanger from the bottle.  

Now hop on over to Debi's blog.  If you get lost along the way you can see a list of participants here

Chalk It Up Workshop On The Go

CTMH has a fabulous program that has been around for many years.  The Workshops on  the Go (WOTG) are fantastic for making your pages look professional!  The kits run $29.95 and has everything you need to complete two (two-2 page layouts) layouts (and you always have leftovers to make cards or possibly even another 2 page layout if you add the base pages).  This is the Chalk It Up WOTG.  These are PERFECT for back to school pictures, etc.  Less than a week and I will be adding those type of pics to this workshop.  EEK!  Interested in completing your own WOTG's?  I can help you do them or you do can do them on your own.
