Craft Your Passion Design Team Project- Blushing Bride Card

| Alicia Bel, Close To My Heart, craft your passion, Heart Broken Designs

Hi Everyone!

Today’s project share is my Design Team project for Craft Your Passion Challenge #308. 

Our sponsor this week is Alicia Bel and the image I selected was Emily (Zombie). 

This is my Blushing Bride Card!

I love this image! I didn’t color her up like a zombie even though I love zombie movies…but I am going to be coloring her up like a zombie the next time I use this image. The image is great and reminds me of a Tim Burton movie.

The paper collection I used was DCWV Happy Day stack. I colored the image with my Spectrum Noirs and added lace, doily, fabric covered buttons and a small bow for embellishment.

I did pop dot both my image and the second layer for more dimension. And of course I added some Wink of Stella and stickles for bling. 
 
The card is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches and I left the inside blank so lots of room for a message.

Mini Album Monday- Wallet Mini Album

| Uncategorized

Hi Everyone!

SO excited to be back with Mini Album Monday!! Today’s mini is a 4 1/2 by 6 1/2 wallet mini album.

This mini would make a great gift especially if you fill it with pictures and memories. 

The paper I used is the CTMH Charlotte Workshops Your Way Kit. These are actually the remaining pieces I had after I created another mini album. 


I love this paper pack and am going to get one more before the new catalog comes out on 5/1. You need to get one also. This paper and the embellishments that come with it in Workshops Your Way are fantastic. I have made 2 mini albums and a few cards with it. 

This mini even though it is small has 4 spaces for 4×6 photos and 4 spaces for 3×4 photos. It is adorable!

Here is a video that will show you more of this wallet mini:

I colored up the image with my spectrum noirs and added some wink of stella for some sparkle! I also added a bow and some sequins for embellishment and I popped up the image for dimension.

EASY PEASEY SCRAPBOOKING SERIES- PROJECT TWO: PICTURE MY LIFE

| Uncategorized

Hi Everyone!

Today is Project 2 of the Easy Peasey Scrapbooking Series and today we are scrapping with Picture My Life! 

I know you have probably seen the big box at your local store that you can buy with a ton of cards but Picture My Life is so much better. 

Why, you ask? Well, first the quality is fantastic but not only are each of the cards adorable you also don’t get a bunch of duplicates like you would in the big box. 

Scrapbooking is so much easier when have such a great selection to choose from and don’t have to worry about duplicate layouts!


This scrapbook is going to be for my sister. She lives in France right now and just had my sweet little niece in January. I am going to build pages throughout the year and mail them to her so she can add them to her scrapbook! Fun, right!

The supplies I used today are-
Memory Protectors Design 3- Z1950 $9.95 for 10
Memory Protectors Design 4- Z1951 $9.95 for 10
Memory Protectors Design 5- Z1952 $9.95 for 10

Picture My Life– Our Story Scrapbooking Program- Z3195 $8.95 for 20 (4×6) cards and 36 (3×4) cards.


Here is the tutorial for my Picture My Life Project:

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my project!

Easy Peasey Scrapbooking Series- Project One: Instalife

| CTMH, easy scrapbooking, Instalife, mini albums, paper craft, scrapbooking

Hi Everyone!

Today is the start of the Easy Peasey Scrapbooking Series with the first project being Instalife. Haven’t heard of Instalife yet? Well get ready because it is awesome.



The supplies I used for my project are:
CTMH Instalife Album
Memory Protector Mini 4×4
Memory Protector Mini 2×2
Colorful Me Cards
& Pictures of course!

Instalife is probably the best & easiest way to start scrapbooking. The cards are adorable and they don’t repeat over and over like some of the scrapbooking kits you get at your local craft store. 

Plus, the cards, the album and the memory protectors are not only high quality but you can create your entire album for about $23.00! That is a great deal!

The album I am creating today is for my niece who is turning 5 in April. Not only is my gift less expensive then I would have normally spent, it’s sentimental value is beyond measure. I am sure she and her parents will love it! 


Here is the tutorial for my Instalife Project:






Here are the supplies I used:



I hope this video inspires you to start scrapbooking!
