Another Skylark Card

This card started with a scrap of scrapbook paper.  I just love that bird, and I knew I wanted him to be the focal point of a card.  All I added was a lagoon card base, some distressing around the edges, a ribbon, a Thank You tag, and a couple of strips of paper and washi tape along the bottom.  Oh, yeah--CTMH has washi tape now!  Have you seen it?  It's fab!  Like I need more washi tape....  Yeah, I ordered it all.  You can get it too.  Right HERE on my website.

Skylark Card

Here's a collaged card made with pieces from the Skylark Picture My Life kit and stamps from the Workshop on the Go and the Believe in Yourself stamp set.  I might just be in love with that dragonfly stamp.  Just sayin'.  And those tiny flourishes are adorable too.  One can never have too many flourishes.

Skylark LOs Part Two

Here is the other two-page layout from the Skylark Workshop on the Go.  Now, I have to confess that I was initially a tad lazy when I made this layout.  And when I went to take a photo for a close-up, I discovered that there was nothing interesting enough to take a close-up photo of!  Ok, sigh.  Here's my first attempt:

Pretty plain, huh?  When I made that discovery, I told myself, "Self, this will never do!  Get thee back into thy craft room and embellish, embellish, EMBELLISH!"  So back into my craft room I went, and with the help of CTMH's fabulous "Complements" and "Assortments," it took me only about five more minutes to embellish the heck out of that plain old layout.  So now here's a close-up of some of those adorable embellishments:

I absolutely LOVE the fact that CTMH has additional embellishments for ALL of their paper packs!  AND did you notice the tags/journaling cards on these pages?  They're from the Skylark Picture My Life kit.  Cute, huh?

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave me some love, pretty please?

Skylark Workshop on the Go

The blues and browns in the Skylark kit were just perfect to use with these pool photos.  I love the subtlety of the print on the brown background with the pop of color and bird silhouettes in the upper left corner.  But the other bird and floral embellishments in this kit just weren't right to go with a "boy" page.  And then I saw it!  The dragonfly stamp in the workshop kit--SO PERFECT!  Because I also had a photo of a dragonfly in this same batch of pictures!  Here's a close-up of my stamping and embellishing:

What do you think?  I think I'm going to have to order another pack of these papers!  Love this kit!!!

Do you like Project Life?

If you like Project Life, you're gonna LOVE  the new CTMH "Picture My Life."  Take a look:

Sometimes called Pocket Scrapbooking, this method of scrapbooking appeals to many people.  CTMH now has our own line of these pocket scrapbooking products.  Each kit comes with 44--4x6 cards, 78--3x4 cards, 1--12x12 designed cover sheet, and 10--12x12 Memory Protectors (page protectors) in various designs.  Now personally, I have never done pocket scrapbooking, and I really have no intention of switching to pocket scrapbooking.  (I love my 12x12 pages).  However, I HAD to check out these new kits, so I ordered the Skylark Picture My Life kit because...  you can use the bits and pieces for card-making, collage, and journaling cards!  Take a look at what I did:

This card was made using paper and a stamp from the Skylark Workshop on the Go Scrapbooking kit and some of the cards from the Picture My Life kit.  The sentiment that looks like label tape is actually one of the PML cards.  Cute, right???!!!

Here's another card I made with some of the PML pieces because I didn't have enough patterned pieces left over from scrapbooking:
