February Charlotte HWBH




If this is the first time joining us you will love it. It features Close to My Heart Consultants from all across Canada showing you their projects. The Hearts of the West team was founded by Nancy Klein.

If you came from Kerry's bloghttp://scrapbookfunbykerry.blogspot.ca/2016/01/february-charlotte-hwbh.html   you're in the right place. This is a go around blog so you can start anywhere. Just in case, the full list is at the bottom of this post.
 Grab a beverage and enjoy the hop!




This months challenge is the Charlotte paper pack brought to you by Seasonal Expressions 1.


Now on to my project-It's a wedding card.
I used a card base in White Daisy. I stamped a flourish from Love Life D1482 with Versamark and used Ranger Superfine Embossing powder. I used a sponge and Sorbet ink to make the flourish stand out. I layered different pieces of the Charlotte paper with some Complements and the gold heart is a Treasured Puffie.The whisper heart piece is from a strip off of one of the paper pack pieces. All the pieces were edged in Sorbet.






Hope you enjoyed my project. If you are interested in any of the items used in my project please go to Close to My Heart and use my OBA for ordering. http://corinnamurphy.ctmh.com

Now on to my project:

This is a birthday card. 5X7 inches. The cardstock is Pixie, I used watercolor paper and used multiple blues and pinks to get the look I have. I stamped the Unicorn from Unicorn Dreams which is a retired hostess reward. I used Playful puffies and in while supplies last on my OBA  I used the Junebug puffies. The Happy Birthday is from a retired stamp set. They were both stamped with Pixie ink.
Note: I still struggle with double stamping. I just cant seem to get the stamp in the right place no matter how hard I try so I bought a MISTI(not a CTMH product)
It is an awesome tool and I can double or stamp as many times as I want.

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop 2016

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured
product is (Overlays).
If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if
you get lost along the way you can start at the beginning with


Scrapbooking with Kirsten Jade http://scrapbookingwithkirstenjade.blogspot.com/2016/01/featured-products-blog-hop-pml-overlays.html

as she has the complete list.

If you came here from ( http://catscrapbooking.com/2016/01/06/ctmh-featured-product-pml-overlays

you are in the right place.

Now on to my project:
This is a one page layout using Picture My Life Overlays in black over La Vie en Rose paper.  The roses are not my favorite part of this paper pack but I did incorporate them. I used some bitty sparkles and flourishes for embellishment as well the heart button ,I think is CTMH, but not positive. I also used the red enamel gems. The numbers and letters were from my stash. I would have used the Cricut to cut them out but time is an issue so I used my stash.  I used a Design 5 page protector for my layout.
I placed all the embellishments except the flourish on the outside of the protector. I forgot what I was doing and put the flourish inside.I think it would have shown up better on the outside. 







This is a birthday card. I used white daisy card stock and added a PML card but not sure which one. The overlay with happy I put at an angle. I attached it with glue dots hidden in the letters. Birthday stamp is from Cricut Art Philosophy Celebration D1497. I added black sparkles from a sparkles assortment. I edged the card in black.
