Buzz & Bumble card and holder using Artise

 Well I am getting really excited about the new book that comes out February 1st how about you?   This project was made with the new Buzz & Bumble paper.  I am a little behind but I finally got my Artiste cartridge ( love it!) and the magazine holder for the cards was made with it. I was excited to be able to do this with my small Cricut. I am still working on getting a larger one. I also cut the tag out with my Artiste.  The flower is from Just Blooms-Spring Blossom. I also used the Sparkle Assortment Round, brown & tan and some Cocoa gross grain ribbon. The stamps are: Annotations, Petite Perks Bee Your Self, The Present, and the Buzz & Bumble workshop stamp. I colored the seed image with my alcohol markers.

 Don't forget the Whoooo's your Valentine deal is still available until the end of this month. hptt://brendamckerchie.ctmh.com

Momogram cards using Pear & Partridge

These are some more cards I made for my girls for Christmas.  I used the Monogram stamps found on page 116 of the CTMH book and I also used the Perfect Fit-Frames stamp.  The paper is Pear & Partridge.  I love how this paper works for things that are not Christmas.  Scrap Happy! Brenda

Sneek peek at new book and Victory layout

Are you getting excited for the new book?  I am. I can not wait to start playing with the new paper and stamps.  Remember you can start ordering from the new book February first, but if you wait until latter in the month when Kathy has her party you can get your name in on a fun drawing.  I will post it latter closer to her party.
This layout is also from our tubing trip a couple of summers back. The paper is Victory,and the stamp set I used is Pure Adventure.  I used the Poster Board stamp set to make my title and I used some Tough Tags. Thanks for stopping by.  Try to stay warm and Scrap Happy!

layout using Emporium

For this layout I used Emporium paper. I also used Ribbon Rounds Heartfelt Collection and Jouncing Spots Journey.  The ribbon is from quite a while back and has long ago retired but that is what I love about CTMH. The colors still all coordinate and look great together. We were lucky enough to camp at my brother and sister-in law's a couple summers ago and went tubing.  Makes me wish for summer!  We have already made some camping reservations for this summer( you must make them 6 months ahead to get into the state campgrounds) and I am already looking forward to it! Bring on the SUN!  Well I do not think that will happen any time soon. We are supposed to get some snow.  Scrap Happy! Brenda

Zoo layout

I did not use any Close To My Heart stuff on this layout and it is very simple but sometimes those simple ones turn out the best. I love how the pictures take center stage. Thanks for stopping by.  Brenda Oh ant the paper is from Paper Pizazz called Wild Things Giraffe.

I am not sure what the other stamp is called. the book we made was a hit! I am not sure what the final bid was but last I heard was 40 dollars.
