Snuggly and Warm - Blog with Friends

Thank you for joining me and a few blogging friends as we link up our blogs to share some fun content aligned with this month's theme, "Snuggly and Warm". Please read through the bottom of this post where you will find links to their blogs.

I interpret snuggly and warm as winter and Valentine's Day; a perfect combination, in my opinion. Can you believe we are just 10 days from Valentine's Day in 2019? That is super crazy to me! But, it does give me a great opportunity to create some fun happy, a few items which I am sharing with you today. 

So I must have been living under a rock, but has Galentine's Day been a saying prior to this year? LOL I have never heard it until now but think I may just wear it out as it is super adorable and provides an opportunity for us to celebrate those gal-entine relationships we have in our lives. 

This scrapbook page will be perfect for preserving some gal memories. The challenge will be deciding which photos I want to include on this one. 

Do you have special moments you have shared with a girlfriend, or two, of yours? Those memories are worthy of documenting either for yourself, for them, or how about for both of you? Adding a little bit of the story will bring to life what you experienced at the time the photo was taken. You deserve that. You both do. 

Or what about sprinkling someone's mailbox with a bit of happy? This is totally my favorite handmade card where you can specific the loves in your life. Isn't it hilarious?! You'll see where tacos ranks for me and my husband won't be surprised when he gets this card. Ha! It's totally fun and is bound to provide a chuckle to any recipient. 

 Here is a simple Valentine's Day card, throwing it a little blue. Don't you love this color combination? I do! I think it's perfect and this card can be sent to any person you choose.

The products used on these artwork pieces are part of Close To My Heart's Heart Happy Special that are only available through this month, while supplies last. You can purchase them, including the stamp set shown above, through me by using the link provided .

If you are a papercrafter, and would like to be added to my customer newsletter and/or VIP Group on Facebook, email me. I'd be happy to add you as I share the FUN of papercrafting!

Create! - Convention 2018 Team Gift

I LOVE making and gifting items for my team members and was excited to make this scrapbook layout, with pocket pages, as one of their gifts this Convention.

I incorporated the Convention logo and some additional fun elements, perfect for adding some of their favorite memories. You can see how the pocket page would sit in between the two pages.

This is what the layout look like, minus the pocket pages.

I used the colors from the Convention logo and incorporated it throughout the elements, including the fun heart ribbon. 

The Gold Heart Clip added a fun element as did the images from the July Stamp of the Month, Highlight Reel.

I used the Design 4 Pocket Plus Pages  and made a few decorative inserts where they could journal or do as they chose. 

It's always fun to give purposeful gifts and I hope this is the case for each of them!

Happy Halloween!

There is no cuter way to celebrate your Halloween memories than by preserving them on these three wonderful layouts made using the Cats & Bats Workshops Your Way Scrapbooking Kit. They were super fun and easy to put together.

The layouts incorporate the wonderful patterned paper, black glitter Complements, pocket cards, and various stickers. All of them add to some fun and festive layouts, perfect for Halloween photos.

Have no fear! You don't have to come up with the layout designs on your own, unless you want to. Instead, you can download a guide through this link and use the cutting diagrams and assembly directions to recreate them yourself. If you choose, you can create to your heart's desire and design layouts from scratch.

As you can see, some of this patterned paper and Complements can be used outside of Halloween. I personally love the black and white striped pattern and teal (Lagoon) polka dot papers. I have used them for other projects.

This image contains a visual of the contents contained within the kit. You can find details of the Cats and Bats kit here. I love how CTMH packages these products in a quality and cost-effective manner.

If you would like to add the Cats and Bats products to your next order, let me know!

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
