If I do say so myself...the new CTMH Acylic Mini Album is so much fun to put together!!!
So today, I couldn't wait to work on the new CTMH Acrylic Mini Album. I have a workshop soon and this is what we'll be creating! Except that everyone will be able to use whatever paper pack they like. Here, I used the Simple Pleasures Lvl 2 Paper Pack. I used a wide variety of different stamp sets (too many to name, haha!) and I embellished the album with Just Blooms Paper Flowers, white rub-ons, brads, cocoa and twill ribbon, and circle window charms. I just love the color combination: twilight, desert sand, cocoa, and bamboo.

Serendipity - I LOVE this paper!!
I made this 2 page layout to remember my older brother, Tim's, birthday. And I have to admit that I just LOVE this paper pack called Serendipity. At first, it sat in my paper holder forever because I liked it so much and didn't want to use it. I finally just decided to go for it and use it. The brown and blue color combination makes it a good paper to use for guys or girls. For this layout, I used our new clear acrylic tags, stamped words on the twill ribbon and used lots of embellishments (brads and flowers). Enjoy...
My Try at 1 Page Layouts
Here is my attempt at making 1 page layouts. I think they came out really cute.
The left one is made using a sheet from the Whoops-A-Daisy paper pack and watermelon card stock. I stamped the monkeys from the In the Wild Stamp Set and also stamped the words "Life With You is a Barrel of Monkeys" from the Life's A Jungle Stamp Set onto a Dimensional Element. My niece, Alysia, is so cute. In these pictures (which you can't really see) is her stacking Mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups in piles according to their different color wrapping. Too cute!
On the right is a layout that I "lifted" from a website. Again, I used a sheet from the Whoops-A-Daisy paper pack and (mom) sponged the Just Blooms flowers for me with Hydrangea and Watermelon colors. They came out cute! I also used something I never have used before...I bought some adhesive transfers (they come in different fonts, sayings, shapes and flowers). In this case, I used the word "beautiful" and stuck it onto my layout like a sticker. Then I peeled off the front which made it sticky and I used flock to "cover" each letter. It came out good and its so easy to use. I'm going to try using glitter next time. :-) These pictures of my oldest niece, Samantha, are from one of our recent camping trips to the lake.

My Silly Nieces
Every time my nieces and I get together, at least 2 of us are carrying cameras. I love it! We get to snap candid shots like these ones all the time. For this 2-page layout, I used the colorful and bright Whoops-A-Daisy Level 2 paper pack, Dimensional Elements Fresh Shapes and Flower Garden, Circle Window Charms, and Clear Sparkles. The colors that I used were Ocean, Hydrangea and Watermelon. This fun paper reflects the fun that I always have with my nieces.
