Peachy Heart Clubbers "Sweetheart" LOs

Happy Spring! I cannot believe it is March already and I have not posted for several weeks now. Are you ready for Spring break? Whew, I certainly am. Here are the samples of artwork that we did for March Club night, last night. If you would like to learn more or join us and get some scrapping done, ask me for more information. Ask me about the club perks…hope to hear from you soon. This LO is the one that most mirrors the LO in the Sweetheart brochure. I modified it slightly, to fit my photographs and taste. That is the beauty of the kits, you can easily modify the inspiring artwork. This LO showcases one of our new alpha sets, E1018, Pennant Alphabet. Pennants are super popular right now. Our set includes the Uppercase Letters on the pennants, the letters apart, so that you can stamp them on in another ink color and also the numbers. I purposefully moved the journaling block from the side near the photo to the center overlapping the two pages. Why you may ask? Well, if you look closely, I got ink on the edge of my block, which then transferred to my journaling block. I thought it was not as noticeable with the journaling block split in half so close to my “boo boo”. See, I make mistakes too…the secret is to minimize the effect if you can. "Boo boos" can always be covered or changed. LO two is a sketch from Jeanette Lynton’s book “MAGIC”, and I also modified it, but only slightly. The chipboard flower on the left side of the LO actually rotates and covers hidden journaling. And here is the journaling on the other chipboard flower. The photo below reflects the images in one our new alpha sets, E1019, Bohemian Alphabet. It is so pretty, just wanted you to be able to see it a little more up close. The images in this set includes all lower case letters, numbers 0 – 9, common punctuation marks and a couple flowers and flourishes. This view shows the detail of this stamp set so nicely. Next month, we will do the "Lucky" kit. Let me know by the end of March if you plan to attend in April, so I have ample time to order your kit. Happy scrapping! Peachy heart hugs, Debbie

WOTG Club - Layout One for February 2011

Well, I finally finished the LO, one of them, for next Friday night's club night. It did not take long to make, it took me long to START, LOL! I modified the sketch we will do from that in the brochure, slightly - to accommodate my pictures.

If you bring pictures, try for some vertical pics for the right side of this LO, as seen in the next pic and one large one for the left side, as you will see here:

The LO on the left, I added an extra picture not shown in the LO in the sketch in the WOTG brochure. I also added a journaling block, because I don't always like to use my own handwriting (like a lot of you too).

My daugher Amanda is in the pics with me. My neice Bree, is in the pics with Amanda.

I can't wait to see what you all do with this skecth and your pictures.

Hope to see next Friday.

Peachy Heart hugs, Debbie

Don't you just love this...this artwork was created by CTMH corporate artists. The papers used are for the "Veranda" paper kit. Very pretty papers and versatile too. I can share more artwork with these papers...email me, I will email you some additional artwork.

Happy scrapping!! Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

Caboodle Artwork

Happy Friday. Hope you have some fun activities planned for this weekend. My daughter Amanda, niece, Brianna and I will be headed over to the Air Museum in the morning to help do some grounds upkeep. Then, our reward will be to go the opposite direction, out to Lane's and get some Peach Ice Cream and probably pick some strawberries. Sounds like fun huh? Hope your plans are fun too. Here is more artwork created by our fabulously talented artists at CTMH Corporate. Don't you love it? The papers used are called Caboodle. They were brand new in our Spring 2010 Idea Book. The colors include Buttercup, Crystal Blue, Sorbet and Sweet Leaf. The two new complimentary stamp sets in this artwork are C1386, Boys at Play and C1387 Playin' Hard. If you have any questions about this artwork, or would like to see the stamp sets in person and you live local to me, contact me, I'd be glad to show them to you, as well as some artwork I have created with these stamps and papers. Have fun creating! Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

You Rock LO Two - "Gone Fishing"

This LO was made using the CTMH pp "You Rock" and the stamp set, C12356, Hook Line and Sinker.

The technique for club this month was "wet embossing". We used Olive and Outdoor Denim embossing powder to random stamp on the White Daisy Cardstock. I did not want the stamping to be too perfect, so we stamped the images lightly or tapped off any heavily stamped embossing powder. It gives the stamping a rougher or more rustic look to me. The random stamping was done on both strips of WD cardstock, however, shows up better on the left half of the LO because that strip of CS has a larger border, something to keep in mind as you place your random stamped images, hehe, not so random maybe, going for placement closer to the edges or between photo mats.

We had a lot of fun making these LOs. The fish idea was Patty's...she is after all our expert fisherman. I loved the fish on a line idea!

I really liked how this LO turned out, pretty simple and clean. It garnered me an invite to go fishing! Oh no, me...in a boat...fishing? Crazier things have happened hmm? Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

"You Rock"

These layouts were our club LOs for April 2010. They feature the CTMH pp "You Rock". I designed one LO highlighting the blues and greens of the kit and the other LO focuses more on petal, a more feminine color scheme.

I used the stamp sets D1403 "Star Power", D146 "You Rock" and C1388, "Rock Star" which compliment this pp perfectly. This LO was purposefly done with minimal stamping to allow my club members versatility in using the LO.

The second LO we made with this pp features a Fishing theme. I demonstrated "wet embossing" on this LO. We accomplished the wet embossing in a smudged fashion to give the designed paper a more rustic or rough look. I will post the second LO tomorrow.

My sweet friend and customer Vicki Lynn won this first LO with her purchase this month - yeah Vicki!!

Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

Tinkerin Layout

Kinda plain huh? This was our "easy" LO for club in February. The sketch was the same for everyone, but then each scrapper made their LO their own with personalized random stamping. I will post some samples of how the LOs turned out and you can see how differently they looked once completed.

The color scheme in these papers are really fun, twilight, sunflower, clover meadow and sunny yellow. The scream SUMMERTIME to me, how about you? Peachy heart hugs, Debbie

Tinkerin' LO

This LO I made today while "my girls" from church, worked on their L2L Indiviudal Scrapbooks. The papers here are from the Tinkerin' Level 2 Kit. I random stamped on the back of one of the B&Ts. This LO is one we will do this Friday night for club night. The colors shown are Clover Meadow, Sunny Yellow, Sunflower and Twilight. I also added the Holiday Red.

The stamp set I used is called "Robot Power" and I chose it because I think the little girl robot is just darling, she reminds me of my Manda. Hope something here inspires you. Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

Lotsa Layouts - "Jingle" - Christmas Bling LO

What a day! Was it a full moon and I missed it? I was super busy at work today and it just seemed like each new thing I tackled was harder and took longer than it should have. So glad today is done. I am working on club layouts tonight, but decided to take a break. Here is a layout from December...I love the feminine colors of some of the Jingle papers. In this LO below you can see how soft the color scheme is and how it translates so sweetly for a feminine page. The LO has an origami tree...ask me, I will show you how to make your own, it really is quite easy. I actually made one out of green foil wrapping paper for my door at work. It was cute, if I say so myself. Christmas Bling is the appropriate title for this girly LO. Hope it inspires you!! Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

Topstitch

Don't you just love a blue and brown color combo?? That's what you get in this kit and they are super pretty, don't you think? These papers are from CTMH's new paper kit...Topstitch. The LO was created by skilled artists at CTMH corporate office. I just LOVE this LO. If you would like your own copy of our newest Idea Book, including new items in our productline, inspiring artwork, cool tips and techniques and versatile stamp sets, then contact me soon for your copy. Happy Scrappin'! Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

Girlfriend, You Rock

I finished my swap, my second slot layout, yay me!

This one was made with one of the new CTMH paper kits, "You Rock", which boasts the colors: Olive, Indian Corn Blue, Goldrush and Outdoor Denim.

I used several new stamps, including a couple favorites in our new Idea Book.

I also used two brand new products, Irresistables, Lotsa Dots, for the title and I used Top Coats, Rockin' version.

Here is the right side of the layout. I used two Flip Flaps on this side, to increase the number of photos used. The page protector made the photo a little cloudy, sorry about that.

The last picture, shows the artwork in the flaps when opened.

I hope my fellow swappers like it.

Caboodle

Don't you just love these papers!! They are from one of the newest CTMH paper kits... Caboodle. I used one of the stamp sets created to compliment the papers, C1386 "Boys at Play". Since my swapping friend and I both have daughters, I played down the masculine tone and pumped up the sorbet and girly influence. I also used the "Key to my Heart" stamp set and Solos L, F, and P. I plan to make a card to go along with the layout using the same papers.

I need to finish up my card so I can start on the next layout and card set. I will be using another new paper kit for these..."You Rock". I love swapping, just don't have the time to do it so much anymore.

Since I cannot sleep, I thought I would post the layout...I guess I should get back to working on my card, using a watercolor brush to color in the details, and it is taking a little while to finish it up. Hopefully I can post it tomorrow...better get going so I can finish it up. Thanks for looking at my work. Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

Twitterpated!!

Twitterpated? Yep, Twitterpated! Don't you just love the pretty layout and cards made from the CTMH Twitterpated papers, made by corporate artists? Just love how the papers hightlight the photo of the little girl so perfectly! This is definitely one my favorite paper kits from the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. If you would like to see more artwork from this paper kit, just email me and let me know; I'd be glad to share some with you. Happy scrappin! Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

I love these papers...they are so fresh and girly. These layouts were created by artists at CTMH corporate, so pretty, don't you agree?

Isn't the pink and brown combination so pretty? And who doesn't like paisley? Making lists is a fast and easy way to get your journaling done too. Happy scrappin, Peachy Heart hugs, Debbie

I Love Being Your Mom LO

This LO is made with the gorgeous colors of Blush, Hollyhock and Chocolate. This picture is the left side and the title was done by Sanding over chipboard. These papers are so feminine; so pretty! Peachy Heart hugs, Debbie

Florida Bible Camp LO

This LO was fun to do as I did it with my daughter. She is working on her annual scrapbook for convention. This was her first time using my Cricut...needless to say, I think I might have difficulty using it in the future, since she says she intends to use it every day! With this LO, she used mainly card stock...but she did use some leftover B&T from the "Let's Get Together" paper kit. She also tried some more random stamping...she is getting better at it. Good job Manda! Hope you enjoy seeing some of her work too. Peachy Heart hugs, Debbie
