I come from a family history of longevity.  Yesterday, we celebrated my Grandma's 100th birthday!! (Her actual birthday is really tomorrow - Monday, June 19th).  My Great Grandma (Grandma's mother) lived to 105 so it was no surprise to us that my grandma would strive to do the same!  So of course, we had to throw her big a party!!   Family from all around came by to wish her a Happy Birthday. I wanted to do something special for my Grandma and give her something she would enjoy - looking at pictures from the past and reading everyone's birthday wishes!   I took an idea from fellow consultant Karen Pedersen.  Karen shared a guest registry she created for her son's wedding that was an album with layouts that the guests could sign. What a beautiful gift. So, I took Karen's idea and created a similar type album on a smaller scale.   I created 8x8 layouts and included pictures of Grandma through the years.  We had a special table set up, where I ...

If you've been under a rock this month then you came out just in time!  There is just a little over a week left to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month with Close To My Heart's Happy Times paper and stamp! One of the things I created with this beautiful pack of paper was a card workshop designed by fellow CTMH Consultant Michelle Snyder.   These cards are so pretty I thought they would make a great gift!   I used  the My Creations Journaling Cards Box (Z1953) with my left over Happy Times paper to create a pretty box to hold the cards!  This sweet little box is so easy to cover.  I cut the pieces to fit the sections of the box and attached with Bonding Memories Glue .  I accented the box with a zip strip, gold shimmer trim and some flowers from the Happy Times Stamp set.  This little box will hold up to 8 cards and envelopes and makes a perfect gift!

I'm a little late on sharing my Mother's Day card I made for my mom.   I wanted to be sure to share this because I created this card with this month's special - Happy Times paper pack.   The bright colors in this pack are beautiful, but these sweet tiny flowers in colors of Canary and Juniper really draw me in.   I stamped the smaller flowers right onto the center piece and layered some hand cut larger flowers on top of the them.   For these flowers, I used the coordinating Happy Times stamp set.  My Mother's Day sentiment is from the stamp - Happy to Be Friends (C1605). There are so many ways to use this beautiful Happy Times Paper pack!  But remember, you can only get it during the month of May!!

May is National Scrapbooking Month and Close To My Heart is celebrating Happy Times ! That's right - It's a paper pack full of happy colors and prints! You will love this gorgeous pack of 14 papers (2 each of 7 designs).  We also have a Happy Times stamp set that coordinates beautifully with the paper.  Today's blog hop features artwork created with this paper and stamp.  If you arrived here from Pricilla's blog you are on the right track! If you are just getting started, don't worry, the hop is a big circle so when you get back to me, you have visited all the blogs! If you get lost along the way, you can see the entire list of hoppers HERE . I chose to showcase these lighter papers because they give me the feeling of spring and newness.  I think this layout would be great for showing new baby pictures!     I added glacier cardstock for my photo mats.  I used the Artfully Sent cricut cartridge to cut a pocket card for my title whic...
