catching up

I have been working really hard the past few weeks to catch up and get some of my layouts finished... I have the  habit of creating a layout but not quite finishing it which usually means printing off the pictures and doing the journaling.  I guess there are worse habits to have!

Here are a few that I finished recently.  

 All of these papers have now been officially retired from the Close To My Heart Idea Book but can be found on "Studio J".  What is Studio J you ask?



"Studio J® is free online scrapbooking design software brought to you by Close To My Heart. Studio J helps you easily create two-page layouts using our foundational scrapbook patterns, exclusive color palette, and themed designs all delivered in 12" × 12" custom prints ready for your albums. " 




 I have played around with the Studio J software and it is a ton of fun!  I know a few people that do almost all of their scrap booking this way.  If interested, follow this link www.paperdragonfleur.ctmh.com to my website and you will find it on the drop-down menu under "Products".  Have fun!












Wish the photo's of this layout came out better.  The colours are so vibrant in real life!  I need to work on my photography skills...  Brighter light perhaps.

Sunday Afternoon

Image
It's Sunday and I finally got to spend some time down in the craft room!  Last week was very busy with company and I had performances with The Allegra Singers.  I so love to sing! I live a very charmed life in that I am married to a wonderful man, have an amazing child and get to do things that make my soul happy like scrapbooking and singing! A very charmed life indeed.

Today's little creation was inspired by "Dynamic Duos" Challenge #1!  This is a brand new challenge blog where you create only using the colours they suggest and neutrals.  For the layout I decided to try Freshly Made Sketches #33 where the aim is to keep your project clean-lined and fresh.  I am also submitting this card to CAS-ual Fridays #51 in celebration of their first birthday.


 I used Close To My Heart Pear and Lagoon for the colours and a scrap from my Dotty For You paper package (that wonderful $5 pack of paper is going to be used for a long, long time).  I also used my Art Philosophy Cricut…
