Have you ever had a paper collection that you just were not sure what you would use it for?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This collection was a promotion was for father's Day. My Dad is no longer here with me so I struggled with what to do. Then I thought my husband is a great Dad and husband and this layout </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happened. All supplies are CTMH except the texture paste, stickers, word stickers and stencil. I used some texture paste and also distressed the background. The title is from the Dad is Rad stamp set and the strips of paper were also stamped with background stamps. I just love the metal embellishments (trees, binoculars, and compass). These were from my CTMH stash of older supplies. I really enjoyed working with the texture paste on the background. You should give it a try.</div>

My husband and I have a Gold Wing trike motorcycle. Riding it is my "relaxation" go to these days.</div>

Every year we try to take a "big" trip with some friends of ours. This trip was to the Florida Keys. When this paper collection came out (Postcard Perfect) I knew it was made for documenting this trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used cricut cuts for my title, flowers and my embellishments. I also used a older stamp set for the motorcycle and wings behind the flower at the top left of the layout. It was cold when we left but the Keys were beautiful. I have lots of pictures to scrapbook and lucky for me lots of this paper.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love to try different techniques. With these two pages I used the cut out letter "LOVE"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the top page,then I used the paper that I cut the "LOVE" from. I backed the negative space </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
behind the letters with different papers. I added some angle cuts to the top and bottom with the gold dot paper in the "Live Beautifully" kit, fussy cut some flowers and water colored the large ones. Stamped some hearts, added some splatters with Juniper ink and added a tag at the top of my picture. I love how it turned out so soft and it compliments this picture of my Mom so well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the second page I used the cut out letters and backed them with some of my favorite papers. I also added two strips of angled paper at the top and a black one on the bottom. I used a couple of doilies behind my pictures, some gold sequins, splatters, and fussy cut flowers from the paper collection. The title is from CTMH sticker pack and so are the gold hearts. The word stickers and tissue paper are from my stash. My journaling is a poem about sisters that I printed from my computer. These pictures are of my daughters when they were small and then as teenagers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were best of friends! (until the teenage years) I love how both of these pages turned out. </div>

I love Autumn! The colors, the weather, the smells in the air, the crisp fell of the mornings and the chill at night. Perfect for a campfire!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know all you Granny's, Maw Maw's, Nana's or whatever your grandkids call you, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just love spending time with them. They are the perfect decorations to your life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a Nana and my grandkids have taught me so much. Everyday I count my blessings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that they are in my life. They grow so fast, so enjoy them every time you get the chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We usually do lots of outdoor things in the Fall. Pumpkin patch, corn maze, football, hikes and cookouts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made these pages with the "Falling for You" paper collection (one of my favorite). Lots of Cricut cuts on my page. Used the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge for most of the cuts. Added some brown splatters, enamel dots, CTMH accessories and added my journaling on a leaf. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget to count your blessing everyday, spend time with the people you love, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
learn something new from your grandkids, (maybe how to take a selfie)</div>

<br />My youngest granddaughter at 13.... teenage years coming up. Mallory is such a beautiful child full of energy and mostly happy (for now). Her sister gave her the nickname Mal Child . Just had to do this page to share her "sassy" picture. Selfie...selfie....and more selfies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to try some mixed media for the backgound. I used CTMH white daisy card stock, added some white gesso and then used the package technique with CTMH inks. Just smooched them on. added some black splatters and all done with the background, l Love how it turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Added some "scrap papers" from my stash, some doilies, CTMH complements, and accessories, a little stamping and it's all done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't wait to see how this lovely lady will grow and changes over the next few years!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At our new house, we have so many wild critters that we can't have a garden. So I garden in pots, stumps and hanging baskets in trees. Our watering routine included loading water jugs on the back of my husbands truck. (of course Loki had to Help) My hubby would backup under the pots and I would water the plants. We called it the redneck garden! Of course I had to scrap it, sure the grandkids will get a laugh out of this long after we are gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All products are CTMH except the title stickers. Lots of fussy cutting the flowers,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some stamps, some gesso and some distressing, gold splatters and enamel dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also added some butterflies and a bird from my stash. I loved making this page </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and telling my story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed my cucumbers and tomatoes. The flowers in the stump were beautiful buy the end of the season. Tell us, in comments below if you have a garden and what is your favorite thing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to eat from your garden.</div>

I took these pictures during my oldest granddaughter's senior year. When this CTMH paper pack came out, I knew that I had to make this page. Don't you just love this paper! It is no longer available now, but I have a stash.<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><u>Supply list</u></span><br />
Hello Lovely paper<br />
Thickers (white)<br />
Wood hearts<br />
CTMH glitter paper gold<br />
Butterfly punch<br />
CTMH dots<br />
<br />
I did a lot of fussy cutting of the beautiful flowers. I Love how these pages turned out!<br />

My youngest granddaughter is happy most of the time. She had been trying to get this kick/jump of clicking her heals just right. This day we were just hanging out and I was luck enough to capture this picture. Wish I had got the picture of the expression on her face when she finally did it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So of course I had to make this page. Used some old Close to my Heart supplies and my cricut to cut out the clouds. Just added some embellishments and our memories of that day are preserved for her grandchildren. I love telling everyday stories, they are what make up our lives.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I like to use flair buttons on my scrapbook pages and cards. Sometimes these can be expensive and hard to find the one that matches with your page or card. I have done some research on Pinterest and you tube. Several people are making their own flair buttons many different ways. I found "Nichole Jones" on You Tube and decided to give it a try.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I choose some paper from my scraps in the colors that I would use on the pages that I have in mind. I found some punches that were close to the size of my wood disc. Punch out some circles from your paper. Then glue the paper to your disc. I used some quick dry glue. Let them dry completely and then trim off the excess paper and use the nail file to sand off the rest of the paper and smooth out the edges of your disc. Once you have them the way you like, place them on a flat surface where they can be left to dry. I left mine overnight. Use the Liquid Glass to cover the tops of each of the disc. You can use a stick pin to pop any bubbles you may have. Let them dry completely! Then you will have some pretty flair buttons to use.</span></div>

My granddaughter wanted to try making some coasters using alcohol inks. While I was recovering from a broken ankle and non-weight bearing, I was stir crazy and Megan's visits were a welcome. One day she shows up with some tiles and the fun began. Being the Curious Crafter that I am, we tried alcohol inks, stencils, stamps, Stazon ink, scrapbook paper and CTMH exclusive Inks.</div>

We had many surprises, goof ups, messes and lots of fun. So I will share with you what finally worked with the Close to my Heart Exclusive inks. I had just received an order from CTMH and fell in love with the Perfectly Pine stamp set. So here is what I did that worked for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Clean tiles with alcohol and dry.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Mix Mod Podge and white paint (about a 50/50 mix)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Apply to tiles with a foam brush. Let dry about 1 to 2 hrs. Apply 2 coats</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Choose your stamps and inks. I used the Misty stamping tool to stamp. I'm sure you could just use a block. The Misty lets you stamp twice if you need to.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Let dry for 12 hrs.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Apply 2 coats of Mod Podge, allow to dry completely between coats.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Place on an old baking pan lined with foil and put into a cold oven. Set oven to 250 and bake 30 to 45 mins. Turn oven off and allow tiles to cool in the oven.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">In a well ventilated area spray with a protective sealer. I used Minwax Polycrylic clear satin. Let dry and add 2 more coats. If you are not using for coasters you could just do 2 coats.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBkVHaeYwhHdbKzL3woHb5vfbejcgoY_NQ9oepnIckt3gQjKJHPrqazpar5V3k-SntB7H0uzSROgWbtK8gitYQvXhdCSMOz_xkrOVx-SDr0ZfUDKCyjRcZmfxwXo3ppChDkUWd0k9ygD8/s1600/DSCN3281+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBkVHaeYwhHdbKzL3woHb5vfbejcgoY_NQ9oepnIckt3gQjKJHPrqazpar5V3k-SntB7H0uzSROgWbtK8gitYQvXhdCSMOz_xkrOVx-SDr0ZfUDKCyjRcZmfxwXo3ppChDkUWd0k9ygD8/s320/DSCN3281+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was a little impatient and mine smeared a little. You should wait until inks drys between stamping each color. You could use your heat gun to help with drying. I found it best to just let it dry and then add your next color. </div>

I love Fall as you may know and I'm usually behind. So what am I going to do with all these things? Everything on this table I already had....so lets see what happens.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This water hose was green, I had made a wreath for July 4th and my daughters said "Mom, that's ugly (what's with the water hose?) So I spray painted it with some off white paint. I used zip ties to hook the hose together and form a wreath shape. Then I searched through my fall stuff and found some things that I liked and started placing them on the hose. I found this cute ribbon, I love Owls!</div>

I just love the colors of this paper collection, the colors were just perfect for this baby book. I made this for a customer, who's daughter was having her third baby. She wanted something simple that she could add pictures and embellishments to. I started out with a craft album that I had in my stash. I covered the front, back and insides with the Georgie papers. To make things easy I also used the Georgie Picture My Life cards. I just added them to give her some ideas of things she could do. I also included the compliments and assortment packs.</div>

Life Happens! Sorry it has taken me so long to get this posted. I have had the nasty bug, prom, graduation, 3 photo shoots, parties and everyday life. Things have finally slowed down so here are the paper pansies I made from my inspiration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82SabbQixZgKnpkPvcEMje5hZpw5zysVwrDScs_m5YkqVdc68ogMNwrAbwZBFVsUV-Z_B1NvIBlssFojuT9ShMqzET2bPBa51LIWhDX1Hic6I_43oQUWIlzjSjImUGPHZSuj1Rxfo1gM/s1600/20160513_140938-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82SabbQixZgKnpkPvcEMje5hZpw5zysVwrDScs_m5YkqVdc68ogMNwrAbwZBFVsUV-Z_B1NvIBlssFojuT9ShMqzET2bPBa51LIWhDX1Hic6I_43oQUWIlzjSjImUGPHZSuj1Rxfo1gM/s400/20160513_140938-1.jpg" width="339" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had such fun making these. I used inks, water colors and color blast to color these. I also tried my trusty dryer sheets to make these. Really didn't like the dryer sheets as much as the paper ones. I cut out hearts with my Art Philosophy cartridge, you can use any size. I cut mine at 1 and 1 1/2 inches. I used five hearts for each flower. Three whole ones and two half ones. You will also need a circle to adhere them too. Size of circle depends on the size of hearts you use. You need to cut a little bit off of the tips of your hearts. I colored mine and then used a bone folder and stylus to shape each one. You can use a quick dry paper glue, glue dots, or double sided tape to adhere the hearts to your circles. I added the top two first and overlapped them, then I added the two halves next and the bottom one last. I cut the leaves free handed. You could use a punch, cricut, or dies to cut your shapes. Then add a center...I used buttons, pearl brads, and a paper punched heart .</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add a little shading and vein lines with a marker and you are done. I also shaped the leaves and added a little ink to add some texture to them. I really like the way they turned out. I want to try some smaller ones . . . . think they would be cute.</div>

MOTIVATION MONDAY</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Are Mondays hard for you? Do you want to just snuggle in and not start the week just yet?</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Me too.....sometimes, but Mondays are the beginnings of a fresh new week. Mondays kind of set the tone for the rest of the week. After a week of traveling and the busy weekend of Anniversaries, Mothers Day and Prom, I just want to chill. I also know that if I do I will miss the opportunity to start my week in a fresh and positive way. So I decided to go out....outside (nature always makes me feel energized and fresh) I love to just roam around and take pictures of anything I find inspiring. Today my pansies inspired me to get busy! Checked my CTMH planner, updated To Do List and added my reward for the day! Today my reward is to create something that has pansies...maybe a card ....or a scrapbook page! </div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
So go find something to motivate you today! Remember to give yourself a reward....even if it's only 30 mins. to play. (color, paint, dance, sing or soak in a bubble bath) Be good to yourself and have a great productive day!</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow I will post my creation for you guys to see and maybe share some of my To Do accomplishments. Stay Curious and Crafty. Here are a few more of my nature walk pictures from today. Enjoy</div>

Didn't want to spend a lot of time or money. So I went searching, first I found so ribbon, then as I was working on something for my daughter ( shamrocks ) I thought "make them bigger " for a wreath. Then I need a base for my wreath so I found a piece of insulation used for water pipes and this is the results. I love it fast ( only took about 35 mins. & cost was (maybe $3.00) afordable. What do you guys think?</p>

Hung out on You Tube and Pintrest. Then I thought I'd give it a try. I made two for my daughter's and one for a friend. Then I decided I wanted to do some swaps. Now, I confess I am addicted! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Let me tell you what they are. You use the plastic sleeves thecat baseball cards fit in. You decorate them using scrapbooking / card making supplies on the front side. Sometimes there is a theme and sometimes not. Then this is the fun part......in the back side you add goodies....washi tape, ribbon, buttons, die cuts, a tea bag, some chocolate most anything you can fit into the pockett. You get to get rid of some of your supplies. All us crafters know we have many to share. Then you swap with someone else. </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's like getting a Christmas present every time you get yours in the mail.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is one I recieved. Just this week!</p><p dir="ltr"> STAY COURIOUS!</p><p dir="ltr"> TRY SOMETHING NEW</p>
