Close To My Heart New Product Blog Hop!

Welcome to our Close To My Heart New Product Blog Hop! Over 40 Fabulous Close to my Heart Consultants are celebrating the upcoming release of the Autumn/Winter 2010 Idea Book by giving you a Sneak Peak of some of the great products available in the new Idea Book starting September 1st!

If you have come here from Sherrie Thornton's blog, you are on the right path!

Featured Project:
I used the very exciting, long-awaited and new Magic scrapbook program how-to-book to create the following 2 page layout. This new book was so so so much fun to look through and I can't wait to make even more layouts. The difference between this scrapbooking how-to-book and the others by CTMH is that this one shows you how to do interactive layouts. That's right! Now you can add slides, flip flaps, pull-outs, pop-ups and many more fun interactive techniques to your pages! Wow, is all I can say!!! This is my favorite layout in the book and I can't wait to try all the others.

"Magic" Template: Abracadabra
Paper: Magnifique Level 2 Paper Pack
My Acrylix Stamp Set: Picture Perfect
Ink Colors: Chocolate and Lagoon
Embellishments, etc: Sparkles (Blue and Green Assortment), Irresistibles white chipboard die-cuts, cream ribbon, chocolate brads, mini paper flowers, 6"x12" and 4"x12" flip flaps.

Now "Hop" on over to Lisa Stenz's Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and see the great new Paper Packs and My Acrylix Stamp Sets!

Remember, the Autumn/Winter 2010 Idea Book goes LIVE on September 1st! Be sure to ask me (creativetraci@yahoo.com) for a copy of your very own!!

Latest Layouts

It seems like I've been making more scrapbook layouts than cards these days. I need to take more pictures so that I can scrapbook them. Haha!!!

My sis-n-law sent me some pictures that she took on their last vacation to Disneyland. I love how "smiley" my nieces are, so I had to develop and scrapbook these pictures right away. For these layouts, I used the Cherry-O WOTG (workshop on the go). I love the WOTG's because the instructions that come with the kit make the layouts so quick and easy to create.

The following two layouts were done using the Zippidee Level 1 Kit. The kit comes with pre-printed pages along with a few sheets of colored cardstock. It also comes with 2 sheets w/instructions of coordinating stickers. I put these 4 pages together in one evening. I think I'm going to buy even more Level 1 kits because they come together so quickly.

Last year, we went to Disneyland and had a ton of fun. It was November and they just decorated for Christmas. I love Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Easter Treats

I made these cute little Easter treat bag toppers for Sunday's family get-together. I filled them with candy specific to each person in my family. :)

The paper is from the scrapbooking company called SEI. For the flower and swirled stamped images, I used an embossing stamp pad with purple embossing powder.
