A 'Bliss'ful Layout

Yesterday I caught up on my picture taking...I had sooo many layouts and cards that needed to be photographed that it took me most of the afternoon. But, now caught up, I have a load of pictures to post for you!!! I decided to start with a layout, lately while perusing the blogosphere, I realized that there seems to be a shortage of layouts posted. I still love to use Close to my Heart Scrapbook Layouts, they are clear and I DO always get a great layout, I am no longer a consultant but still love all things Close to my Heart. This layout is all CTMH except 6 little buttons and Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist.

A really sweet layout for either a B/W baby photos or Wedding pictures, it is dreamy and soft, perfect for those pictures. I did lots of different techniques on these pages,

I tried to layer lots, so I first took CTMH new Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and cut a large Medallion, then I used that medallion as a mask for both pages, layering Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Coffee Shop/Creme de Chocolat/Pearl over the mask.

I used the same on a Tattered Angels Flourish Mask on a photo mat, punched my scalloped strips with a Martha Stewart punch, Inked all edges, added CTMH crochet ribbon and generic buttons, but it still needed something...

So I cut up the mask I used and used the pieces to embellish this great layout. I am not sure if I should classify this as Shabby Chic or Romantic, but I love this layout and will use my Cricut to make many more masks!!!!

Moments Recorded

This is the latest from a great challenge site called Moments Recorded. Lots of great challenges. This last challenge was to use a sketch, mask and use mist of some kind. I do not own any kind of mist so I used paint splatter to recreate the mist effect. Messy! I do love my niece in this picture, she is really cute. Next time I think I will buy real mist for a great effect!!!

Go.....

I am ready to start submitting and getting my name out there as a creative scrapbooker and teacher. I feel like I have made some really creative layouts and think it is time to submit to online groups and magazines. I hope they will be recieved well but who know what they are looking for. Now it is time to lock myself in the basement and create!!!

Look for more creations soon!
