Scrapaholics Unite Session 7 Class 7


I saw these 2 separate layouts in the idea book and online at CTMH and loved how they were done and thought that they would look cool as a 2 page layout for my class. I found some black and white patterned 6x6 cards that I had stashed in my card box that I haven't used in a while that looks really cool with this geometric pattern. combined with some black and lagoon cardstock, I love how this layout pops out. I completed the layout with more patterned washi tape, glitter tape and some black dots. I also painted the title with the shimmer brush to give it some subtle sparkle. The two pages can also be split by adding a title onto the left page, then you have a cover page and an end page for your books.

Scrapaholics Unite Session 7 Class 6


This layout features the Feel So Blessed September Stamp of the Month. It has a beautiful feather image as well as some lovely sayings on it. I created the feather paper strips by randomly brick layering the feather stamp set using one of the new CTMH colours, Charcoal. I used the Falling For You paper pack as the patterned paper. I accented the page with a lovely flower Cricut cut and the title from the Flower Market cartridge. I used one of the many sayings from the Feel so Blessed stamp set which features outlined letters that I took advantage of and coloured in on the sentiment using the yellow for the two words I wanted to stand out. I also coloured in the leaves that I stamped to frame the sentiment. To complete the layout, I used the zipstrip from the Falling for You paper pack, some grey ribbon and grey sequins.

Scrapaholics Unite Session 7 Class 5



This was a combination of Jeepers Creepers from 2016 and the new Cats and Bats paper. I like the effect the black and white stripe make on the layout as well as the accenting of the monster paper. I used the Mini Monster cartridge for the Monsters title and the witches hat and accented with some glitter tape and a couple of halloween accent stamps.

Scrapaholics Unite Session 7 Class 4


This week's layout is made by a guest designer, Carissa Peach. She's my very talented sister/photographer and while she was visiting me during the summer she helped me out by creating this super cute layout. She actually credits my son with the idea as he tells the cutest kid joke: 

Kid: What did one cactus say to the other?
Parent: I don't know...
Kid: You look sharp!

He delivers that joke in the best way. Totally corny, but when you have cactus paper and some super cute colours, it makes for a great title! She also cut out some extra cacti from the Flower Market Cricut cartridge and then accented with some cute stamps. I also like that she incorporated the supercute zipstrip from the Prickly Pear paper pack on the top of the right photo well. To add some texture, she did a background tone-on-tone stamp on the Tangerine paper on the left.
