These girls are not just teammates they are the best of friends who work hard together and have the most fun all summer long. I do have a ton of photos of them and their shenanigans, but this is one of my favorites. </div>

I'm going to guess some of you know about digital scrap-booking. I've known about it for quite a while, but haven't really taken the time to get to know it until now. I had used a program Close to my Heart offered called Studio J. It was simple, you would pick a themed template that's already designed, add your own photos and make some customization (if you wanted) and then order prints of your layouts. It was a great tool for getting a lot of photos scrapped, helping us get "caught up".<br />
Close to my Heart did away with this program years ago, I feel, too soon. Digital scrapping is more popular now. Most of us have a tablet or some portable device that makes it easy to work on your pages anywhere, anytime. I use a drawing program and purchase digital kits to make my layouts much the same as traditional pages by layering jpeg papers and png images of elements.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;"> I have not given up on traditional scrap-booking with paper, embellishments, sequins, glue and all the fun that goes along with it. There is no substitution for the textures, inks, glitters and layers you can feel. I just don't have time to go to my studio, lay out all my supplies, cut and glue and ink and stamp and distress etc. I have a job outside the home that takes up my precious free time. I have kids, busy teenage kids, who are living their best life and I'm the one driving them there. So maybe I get a couple hours here and there in the evenings or on the weekend for actual studio time.</span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="text-align: center;"> My wonderful, supportive husband realized I haven't been able to participate in the hobby I once loved so much that it was also my career. He thoughtfully bought me an Ipad Pro and Apple pencil for Christmas this year so I could make my art anywhere I wanted. I downloaded some apps. Some for photo editing, some for drawing and some for PDF editing. I watched youtube videos and searched Pinterest for tutorials. I sampled a few and even purchased some, finding the ones I liked that worked best for my needs. </span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="text-align: center;"> Now I'm on my way to getting more pages done digitally in one evening than what I've been able to make in 3 years. For me, the importance of scrap-booking has always been preserving memories. So whether my albums are full of thick embellished pages or prints of digital designs, I'm happy to be getting my families experiences archived. </span><div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;"> I would love to know, do you digital scrap-book or are your layouts traditional paper, or perhaps hybrid?</span></div>

I have been making changes with Your Memories Here and along the way have decided to drop the storefront and get back to the basics of just enjoying crafting for, well, the joy of crafting.<br />
I'm not promoting any one company or product line. Just creating whatever makes me happy for my own personal use.<br />
For the businesses I've worked with along the way, I am still available for free lance work, just contact me as you always have in the past.<br />
<br />
I look forward to sharing creativity again.<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

Do you know what Thin cuts are? The fun little metal dies that cut your papers, cardstock, glitter paper, etc. into words and shapes with your favorite diecut machine. I use Cuttlebug, because they made it in pretty blue ;) but you can also use Sizzix or Spellbinders or some other brands that I'm not aware of.<br />
<br />
The Thin cuts I used today are the <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9369" target="_blank">'hello' and 'thanks'</a> set from CTMH. They are perfectly sized for cards.<br />

I think the cuts alone are great for the card sentiments, but you can also add a little stamped sentiment too (which I did on a couple of the cards with the <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9453" target="_blank">Short & Sweet A1189</a> and <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9395" target="_blank">Sending Smiles D1708</a> )</div>

Before you know it Christmas will be here. You're probably thinking 'we haven't even had turkey yet'. But that's the thing. We get so busy this time of year preparing for Thanksgiving that the Christmas season sneaks up on us. I like to get my Christmas cards out into the mail the day after Thanksgiving (or no later than December 1st) How can we do that if we don't start preparing now? For the next couple of weeks we're going to keep you inspired and motivated to get it done and be ready!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing we can do to be prepared is make a list (and check it twice <span style="color: yellow;">;)</span> ) of who you want to send a card to. Then you'll know just how many cards you need to make. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Check back tomorrow for our next tip on how to be prepared for the holiday season.</div>

Well, I'm sure this feeling wont last long because I'm reminded that I am so far behind on getting other photos scrapbooked. But that's OK, we all need to have projects to work on.<br />
<br />
Here is my double page layout of my trip to the pumpkin patch with my youngest daughter Lilee.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was inspired by a layout I saw on Pinterest by Char's Crafty Creations. She used these papers from Swan Lake and the contrast of the dark background was really appealing to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3_8037nhFmMcx484YYcU6kPs9Gvlcpo-aITlBnVYK5TzQ-m2YwfEcMMO44y3bnDtGWS0izZHRPAy3DyNtw_WQMK4cHU5u9aPqqJNyFoQy46h7ckOSl5XrF9ZI94cUdKUUtJu2C0tbWciU/s1600/FullSizeRender+%252811%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3_8037nhFmMcx484YYcU6kPs9Gvlcpo-aITlBnVYK5TzQ-m2YwfEcMMO44y3bnDtGWS0izZHRPAy3DyNtw_WQMK4cHU5u9aPqqJNyFoQy46h7ckOSl5XrF9ZI94cUdKUUtJu2C0tbWciU/s400/FullSizeRender+%252811%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the title I used the "hello" 4x6" from the PML sheet and then I stamped "pumpkin" with my alphabet stamps in black ink. The leaves and pumpkins on these pages are cut on my Cricut and then water colored with inks. I made a video for you showing how I did this on the previous blog post.</div>

On both layouts I added a 3x4" flip flap to the bottom photo so I could include more pictures from our day. Pigeon Roost Farm is more than just a pumpkin patch, there's a whole slew of things to do like a corn maze, slides, various farm animals and all sorts of other fun things. So I had taken a lot of pictures.</div>

So of course I go to my Cricut and cut some out. But I wanted them to be more dimensional and realistic so I colored them with my CTMH waterbased dye inks. And then I thought of all of you and didn't want to leave you wondering "how'd she do that?" So I made a quick video tutorial for you.<br />

Here's a couple cute birthday cards I've come up with, perfect for a little boy (or girl or anyone who digs monsters and aliens)<br />

They're these great way to use one piece of patterned paper (usually double sided) and create many cards/layouts/projects etc.<script data-dojo-config="usePlainJson: true, isDebug: false" src="//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/signup-forms/popup/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">require(["mojo/signup-forms/Loader"], function(L) { L.start({"baseUrl":"mc.us14.list-manage.com","uuid":"a4e03e8d42354d7dbadfd21ce","lid":"e2e1c236ee"}) })</script>
<br />
<div>
So far, every one I've found uses a "cutting guide" to tell you exactly how to cut apart your paper in various sizes and shapes (most often rectangles, squares and triangles) and then how you adhere those pieces to the front of your blank cards (and maybe add some stamping and embellishments) to create a lot of beautiful cards with only one sheet of paper.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For me, cutting all those little squares and strips and rectangles is really boring and I want to get right to the fun part of creating and decorating. You want to know another little secrete? Paper trimmers are not my friends. No mater how hard I try to make sure its lined up and on the correct measurement, I still manage to cut it crooked! Maybe it just me?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My solution, I use my Cricut for AS MUCH as I possibly can when designing projects. It does all the work for me! I just load my paper onto the mat and send it to cut and then all those little pieces are right there waiting on me to make something pretty (and correctly sized, might I add). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
That is why I designed this one sheet wonder cut file.This cut file makes these 10 cards:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTq_D4xZo0oi1VbdY2TUbt3vsp-LpwTUSTxUK1VGIYrECsaqO2WUtZTPm9ZtwNwvcGXij1E5O1k9tmp1xr3zuSeBUb9dDvnJAHoozwe9pMVDaGseHU__FZeJXXdJY5Q6Kt77IuQFE8AcC/s1600/IMG_1368.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTq_D4xZo0oi1VbdY2TUbt3vsp-LpwTUSTxUK1VGIYrECsaqO2WUtZTPm9ZtwNwvcGXij1E5O1k9tmp1xr3zuSeBUb9dDvnJAHoozwe9pMVDaGseHU__FZeJXXdJY5Q6Kt77IuQFE8AcC/s320/IMG_1368.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It takes just one 12"x12" sheet of B&T paper (and don't forget to save your zip strip too, those are bonus pretties). It uses all the paper with very little waste AND it DOES NOT require a cartridge! All you need is the Cricut Design Space program for your Cricut Explore (sorry this is for DS users only).</div>
<div>
And because I designed it for myself, I didn't just use squares and rectangles and other straight edge shapes, I mean this is the Cricut so there's way more capabilities than those mean ol' trimmers that only cut straight lines. Here's 5 more cards using the same cut file:</div>

Of course I want to share this cut file with you, so all of my newsletter subscribers will get the file emailed to them, along with how I chose to use it to assemble my cards shown here (but of course you can mix it up and make your own card designs too). Every time you use a different pattern paper you make a whole other set of cards! Here's a few examples of that:</div>

What have I been doing while they're gone? NOTHING!!! OK not completely nothing, but none of my "mom" duties.<br />
I did take some time yesterday to scrapbook. The August Stamp of the Month inspired me to create a layout with my favorite subject to photograph, my cats.<br />

I <i>may</i> have been called a crazy cat lady once or twice. I don't think I'm obsessed, I just love my pets. They have their own personalities that make them endearing. I could go on and on about Walter and Mojito, but that might support the notion of how cat crazy I am ;) If you would like to learn more about these two, they have their own Instagram account @a_mojito_for_walter<br />
So let's take a closer look at these pages:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAms7qok8Kt6dhriaDAvBWK5AevR8YH0iLSB2TE3UScH3fSlMV-VLz5otMISD4PbYDHbt_6strFYBLvPyzl3V2Meq_nthoRa21atvMt6S6breZgfeW87q66O8yQ2I128oag2BJwSdc1qss/s1600/28584808210_84426dbb2b_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAms7qok8Kt6dhriaDAvBWK5AevR8YH0iLSB2TE3UScH3fSlMV-VLz5otMISD4PbYDHbt_6strFYBLvPyzl3V2Meq_nthoRa21atvMt6S6breZgfeW87q66O8yQ2I128oag2BJwSdc1qss/s320/28584808210_84426dbb2b_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The title is stamped with the <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9249&ci=5786" target="_blank">August SOTM Purr-fect Halloween</a> and <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8939&ci=5554" target="_blank">Typography alphabet</a>, for Lady.<br />
Close to my Heart has some really great <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=226" target="_blank">alphabet stamp sets</a> that are perfect for spelling out page titles.<br />

The cats are also from the August SOTM set and I colored them to resemble my cats using <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8637&ci=6273" target="_blank">watercolor paints</a> and <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=238" target="_blank">waterbrush</a>. I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of watercolor painting at first, I preferred to use markers. But when I started using the paints with the waterbrushes it became so much more fun. The brushes give you the ability to add more water as needed and its a more controlled application. *Remember if you are stamping images to watercolor to use the Archival Black ink as the pigment and dye inks are water soluble*<br />
<br />
Also I'm loving the CTMH color of the year Sea Glass and how it pairs beautifully with the Basics Fundamentals collections.<br />

For my card I paired the black and white paper with gold foil, which I cut into a star banner with my Cricut, and sea glass cardstock. I used white embossing powder so the "Birthday Wishes" sentiment would show up on the black paper. And for more sparkle and glitz I added a strip of sea glass glitter paper and gold shimmer trim. My daughter said it looks like a night sky party! </div>

I made this really sweet flower pot card using the flower pot and hydrangea shapes on the cartridge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The patterns on the flowers and leaves were made using the stamp sets that are included in the collection, as well as the card sentiments.</div>

In Cricut Design Space I welded a basic shape to the hydrangea base so that there would be a "card" to slip inside the pot. Aside from stamping and gluing the layers, the Cricut does all the work for you.</div>

I have the <a href="https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/43541693" target="_blank">Design Space file here to share</a>, all you need to do is purchase this collection and you'll be on your way to making Flower Market projects too.</div>

Attending a workshop isn't the same as an all day crop or weekend retreat. You really shouldn't need to bring much with you, just the essential tools. Most of the time pretty much everything is provided as part of the workshop cost, especially if its a pre-cut kit.<br />
So what do I consider the essentials?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBO1xDW9UL8j8dGBKYCsmQALBUDTkogW4DtdMdFggdqZcSFbXbXEJPmhJjTMlDIlyX1aWKmLWnKbx9cgaGOzTuMrUxgTBEeJpSS0vvQrtaOl1jCNJL71CfWN2HdQrG_aLlkiM-zXy4uUs_/s1600/27388387253_3e7fcce618_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBO1xDW9UL8j8dGBKYCsmQALBUDTkogW4DtdMdFggdqZcSFbXbXEJPmhJjTMlDIlyX1aWKmLWnKbx9cgaGOzTuMrUxgTBEeJpSS0vvQrtaOl1jCNJL71CfWN2HdQrG_aLlkiM-zXy4uUs_/s320/27388387253_3e7fcce618_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Consumable items like adhesives, products that you prefer to use that won't be part of the kit (ex. you like to ink or distress all of your edges bring your own mini ink pad), small portable tools that would be time consuming to share - like scissors and stamp blocks.You'll also want to bring a pencil so you can jot down notes or maybe marking measurements.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the list I give to attendees of the workshops I host:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Adhesive tape runner <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8068" target="_blank">Z3022</a></li>
<li>Paper trimmer <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6777" target="_blank">Z1783</a> (while not always necessary if the kits are pre-cut, an essential tool to own) </li>
<li>Micro tip scissors <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7190" target="_blank">Z1836</a> these are the non-stick ones that are super awesome, just sayin'</li>
<li>Bonding memories glue pen <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=173" target="_blank">Z5552</a> and broad <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=171" target="_blank">1512</a></li>
<li>Spritz cleaner <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=58" target="_blank">1778</a> and Stamp scrubber <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6776" target="_blank">Z1782</a> - to keep your stamps looking and working great</li>
<li>My Acrylix blocks <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6033" target="_blank">Y1501</a> (the starter set of commonly used sizes) <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=32" target="_blank">Y1002</a> also a common size</li>
<li>Pencil </li>
<li>Liquid Glass <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=1030" target="_blank">Z679</a> - not always essential but a great product to have on hand</li>
<li>3D Foam tape <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=4303" target="_blank">Z1151</a> for when you want to add some extra dimension to your projects</li>
</ul>
<div>
All of these items can fit into a <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8259&ci=6201" target="_blank">small tote</a> or <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6884&ci=6406" target="_blank">craft organizer</a>. Again, you're not going to an all day crop you don't need every product you own and the kitchen sink :)</div>
<div>
If there is any specialty tool or item that doesn't fall under the "essential tool list" you will be advised ahead of time to bring it too. </div>
<br />
<br />
I like to keep all of my essentials together in my tote/organizer and then when its time to craft, I just grab it and go.Kristinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04715264304751039197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814237038291269283.post-5204437986326622232016-07-15T22:40:00.001-04:002016-07-15T22:42:49.242-04:00Coming Soon and Going Fast!Just 17 days until the NEW Annual Inspirations catalog goes live!<br />

Well you’re in luck, because today we’ve got a couple tricks up our sleeves (or cards, in this instance!) to help you take things to the next level!<br />
<br />
For starters, try decorating your envelopes so they coordinate with your cards.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogctmh.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/thank-you-card-ideas.jpg?w=560" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogctmh.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/thank-you-card-ideas.jpg?w=560" width="305" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It’s like creating your own stationery! Getting a beautiful handmade card is already a breath of fresh air, so imagine how much you’ll brighten someone’s day by giving a card with a beautiful, matching envelope.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogctmh.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/thank-you-card.jpg?w=560" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogctmh.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/thank-you-card.jpg?w=560" width="317" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
You can also add stamping to your envelopes. This “Thinking of You” envelope communicates love and empathy before it’s even opened.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogctmh.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/sympathy-card.jpg?w=560" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogctmh.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/sympathy-card.jpg?w=560" width="285" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Embossing is another great way to make your cards extra special. It’s simple to do, but gives your cards a high-end look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogctmh.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/happy-birthday-card-ideas.jpg?w=560" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="284" src="https://blogctmh.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/happy-birthday-card-ideas.jpg?w=560" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And while you have your embossing machine out, here’s another fun idea to try—embossing the flaps of your envelopes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You just know you want to use a certain product or stamp. That's how this card came to be.<br />
<div>

I have a couple packages of the chevron sparkles that I bought because (a) they're sparkly and (b) they're on clearance. So they became the inspiration for this card. I used the kaleidoscope papers because I liked the geometric lines of the patterns with the chevron shapes of the sparkles. To further tie the colors together, I used pink shimmer trim (you can never have too much sparkle on a birthday card). </div>

This stamp was only available for consultants who earned the Caribbean cruise but lucky for us we can order it now until the end of March! I can't wait to use it for all my poolside scrapbook pages, pool party invites and maybe if I'm extra lucky one day I'll actually go on a cruise 😉 and have it for those scrapbook pages too. </div>

That means a new month long special is on the horizon. It also means it's your very last day to get the <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8226&ci=1766" target="_blank">June SOTM</a>. I've enjoyed creating with it. It's a perfect summer stamp set and also great for birthdays and other celebrations too. Here's a few projects I've pulled from the <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/CTMH/stamps-of-the-month/" target="_blank">CTMH Pinterest page</a></div>

I've also been working with the <a href="http://yourmemorieshere.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8433&ci=2137" target="_blank">Blossom</a> paper packet. This has been one of my favorite paper collections and I'll be so sad to see it go in August. I have a few cards to share with you using the Blossom paper packet and a few card stock scraps from my stash. The stamps I used are listed under each card.</div>
