CTMH March Blog Hop

Welcome to our Blog Hop featuring new Spring/Summer Close To My Heart products.  We hope that you will take the time to leave comments on our posts, as we love to get feedback from our viewers....whether it was something that you really liked or some new technique that was used that you would like to learn how to do....by leaving us comments, we get to hear what you like, and what you want to see. Thank you… now on to our hop!  

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you get lost you can find your way but going to Brae's blog at http://thebrae-er.blogspot.com for a full list of participants.   

If you came from Cheryl Petyon of http://peytonspaperplace.blogspot.ca  then you are in the right place! 

I made a picture frame for my favourite picture of my daughter and I.

The frame is from the dollar store, but the rest of the project is all Close To My Heart.  

As you can see, I used the Surf's Up paper, it matched the colours and spirit of the photo perfectly.   The rose is cut from Chantilly paper  and the swirl is Later Sk8r paper.  Both were cut with the Art Philosophy cartridge.  "I Love You" came from the Artiste cartridge and I used the Bonding Memories glue to adhere the Prisma Glitter to it and popped it up!

Unfortunatly the photos do not do the project justice.  It is very vibrant in real life and the glitter title is really eye catching.

As an additional project I made a quick card with Chantilly paper, Surfs Up paper and paper I made myself with the awesomely fun spritz pen!  The wee fishy's (Under the Sea) bubbles are made with Glossy Accents.

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to create your own projects using some of the designs and paper seen along the way. Join us again in next month when we will be featuring scrapbooking and card making techniques!

Your next stop on the Hop is Carol Taggio  http://craftycarol55.blogspot.com

CTMH Frame with Avonlea Paper

This was a snap to make!  

The CTMH frame is already put together and all you have to do is decorate it.  

The part that was hard for me is deciding what to put on as embellishments.  

                                                   

The Roses and fanfold round thingy were cut with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.
