Two Page Scrapbook Layout Postcard Perfect Summer Travel Page KIt #scrapbooking #pagekits #scraptabulousdesigns #ctmhpostcardperfect #cricutexplore

Postcard PERFECT is all about SUMMER!!!

Happy National Scrapbooking Month!!!  I hope you have all taken some time to get crafty, it’s definitely much needed therapy in my house.  Speaking of my house, we are officially homeless as of today.  Homeless, that is, until we close on our new house next month!  Whoop Whoop!!!  And next week I have to complete my son’s school album and highschool football layouts for his graduation party.  Happy NSM to me!

This kit was super fun to create – its WAY simple, and I LOVE that for summer photos.  No embellishments, just paper.  Lots of Cricut images and cut-outs, so no worries, these pages are still SCRAPTABULOUS!

Just a note on the pictures, it was pretty dreary here when I took the photos, so the dark blue color looks kinda black on the layouts.  I assure you – it totally looks blue in person!

Make sure to get your Postcard Perfect kit before its gone, it’s only here until May 31!  I am starting on Beautiful Friendship tomorrow, so be on the look out for another kit coming really quick!

Two Page Scrapbook Pages Layout Stargazer Boy Awesome Fourth of July Rocket Stars Wonder Page Kits #ctmhstargazer #pagekits #scrapbooking #scraptabulousdesigns

FINALLY!!! Stargazer Scrapbooking Workshop is HERE!

Oh, my friends – this is a HAPPY DAY!!!  My life has been turned upside down these past few months and this kit just fell into the abyss.  For those of you that don’t know, we are in the process of moving from Michigan to Massachusetts.  So that means that I have been getting my current house ready to sell while visiting Massachusetts to find a new home.  Adding to excitement on the home front, my son is graduating high school this year, my daughter is getting ready for dance competitions, my website was hacked, and we went to Punta Cana for Spring Break!  Crazy town is my new normal.  And it’s all good!  So, now that ya’ll know why I am slower than molasses, let’s get back to what we all care about – scrapbooking!

Stargazer is a breath of fresh air!  Bright, primary colors are soooo fun!  Loving the blues because that means all kinds of pictures with denim will be perfect.  These layouts are gender nuetral and will work great for your boys, Fourth of July, school activities, celebrations, and pretty much anything AWESOME!

Gimme Some Sugar will be out by April 18 for those of you waiting for something SWEET!

I am also restocking ALL CURRENT PAGE KITS and will be releasing (3) K-12 School Workshops that I found in all my organizing!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout Mermaids Flower Spring Beautiful Shine My Girl Make Waves #ctmhmakewaves #scrapbooking #pagekits #cricutexplore #scraptabulousdesigns

Make Waves with Mermaids and Flowers!

Hello – Did someone say MERMAIDS?  Make Waves will have you dreaming of the magical warm days to come!

So, to be completely transparent with you all, this kit had me paralyzed from the start.  I do not do pink/purple/cutesy in my daily life.  It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that time in my life was AGES ago and I went so *all in* with my daughter that I hit overload.  But – as usual, once I got over my fear (yes, I fear mermaids) and embraced the cutesy factor, the design went SWIMMINGLY well.  See how I did that there – HA!

Make Waves is truly fun and feminine!  I kept the mermaids to one layout, but you could easily add them to the other pages if you want.  The My Girl, Beautiful You and Shine Bright layouts will work well for so many photos (think pets, Mother’s Day, Easter, school, dance) and will totally look AWESOME with black and white photos, as well.

Chelsea Gardens – Come on, SPRING!!!

Happy 2018, all of my beautiful friends!!!!  I hope you all had a SCRAPTABULOUS holiday season and took lots of pictures!  Here is my tribe this year in our matching jammies.  

And, just like that – it’s life back to normal in the FRIGID north!  So, let me tell you how hard it was for me to work with Chelsea Gardens during our deep freeze…..  Don’t get me wrong, the papers are simply STUNNING, but they make you feel spring and warmth and I was pretty much in crabby patty mode wishing that I could skip right from Christmas to Spring! 

But, now that I finished this workshop, I have fallen in love with this kit.  I even have some perfect photos to use with it!!!  My goal for 2018 is to show ya’ll more of my finished work, which means that I actually have to print photos and get scrappy.  I am WAY excited to see if I am up for the challenge!  I totally went all in with the butterflies and colors in this kit, I didn’t even try to fight it and make it into something else.  Sometimes, you just gotta go with the flow.  For the last layout, I kept it all nuetrals and even included a large photo mat for an 8×10 family photo!  Lots and lots of options for this layout.  Continue reading →

Two Page Scrapbook Layout Silver Gold Christmas Holiday Winter Joy Birthday Love Merry #ctmhsilverandgold #scrapbooking #pagekits #cricut #scraptabulousdesigns

Give me ALL THE BLING with Silver and Gold!!

Happy December!!!!  We are right on the brink of a cold front here in Michigan, so it is totally starting to feel like WINTER!!!  I am happy to say that I have the majority of my Christmas decorations finished and we put up all our outside lights, too (you know, while it was like 60 degrees!).  I absolutely LOVE this time of year, even though I am a little sad missing those family members that we have lost and looking ahead to next year when my son will be away at college.  Life changes so quickly, but this is why I scrapbook – to preserve these precious memories that make my heart go bump.

OK – I know.  I just released a Christmas kit with Beary Christmas!  However, because some of us just can’t get enough of the holidays, CTMH gave us a second holiday kit with Silver and Gold.  But, my friends, as you all know – I don’t follow directions very well.  I created one Christmas layout (think of showcasing some of your favorite photos from multiple Christmas’!) and the others are entitled Joy, Birthday Cheer, and Love This.  I am LOVING the black, white, silver and gold – can’t wait to get my photos on these pages!

Dont’ forget:  I know this time of year is crazy town for lots of us, but I wanted to remind you that all of our paper packs in the Holiday Expressions will retire on December 31 (if they don’t sell out before then).  Get yours before they are gone so that you won’t be sorry! Continue reading →

Two Page Scrapbook Layout Beary Christmas CTMH Holiday Family Merry Home #scraptabulousdesigns #scrapbooking #pagekits #cricutexplore #ctmhbearychristmas

It’s beginning to look a lot like BEARY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Oh my NOVEMBER!!!!  Seriously – where has time gone???  I hope you all had a Hauntingly Marvelous Halloween, because as you know, stores have gone from Halloween straight to Christmas!  I mean, there is some Thanksgiving stuff out right now, but it has been out for ages, hasn’t it??  

I have to say that I truly enjoyed working with our Beary Christmas papers!  Traditional colors and just enough whimsy to keep it cute and fun.  My daughter and I even had Christmas Bear pajamas last year, so I am thinking that I may use those photos on these pages!  I love it when things work out like that!!!! 

Don’t usually take a lot of Christmas pictures?  Then use these pages as inspiration for some special photo shoots this year or compile photos from Christmas’ past – how fun would that be?  As always, don’t forget the Flip Flaps if you take a bazillion holiday photos!  LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

Falling For You: Autumn Scrapbook Pages

It’s my FAVORITE time of the year – FALL!!!!  The trees are just beginning to change, football is in full swing, and the weather (minus that CRAZY heat wave) is getting cooler, just perfect for snuggling up in sweatshirts and blankets.  The holidays are right around the corner, too!  Lots of fun decorating and time to spend with those we cherish most, our friends and family.

Falling for You has the perfect colors for autumn and will work great for Thanksgiving, pumpkin carving, fall leaves, and outdoor activities.  I also created a fourth layout that is *not* necessarily fall themed, but still focuses on counting your blessings.

Cats & Bats & Parties – OH MY!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!  It’s September 1!!!  That means a BRAND NEW Holiday Expression from CTMH!!!  New specials, papers, accessories, stamps and a whole lot of GOODNESS!!!

I am kicking things off with my Cats & Bats Scrapbooking Workshop.  Now, if you are anything like me, I truly do not have the need for 4 Halloween layouts every year.  So, with this kit, I decided to make 1 layout for Halloween and the other 3 for parties, outdoors, and friends.  The colors are fun, gender neutral, and super trendy.

 

I used our BRAND NEW Cricut Collection – You are Here.  This cartridge is AWESOME and I am so excited for all the travel and every day images!

DANA’S SPECIAL:  Order the You are Here Cricut Collection from me during the month of September & I will send you a FREE paper pack ($9.95) of your choice!

Scrapbook your Outdoor Adventures with Jack!

Happy Summer, everyone!!  I can’t even believe it is almost August – it totally snuck up on me! Today I would like to share my Jack Scrapbooking Workshop, I am super excited with how these pages turned out!  These papers are perfect to scrapbook your summer adventures, even those rainy, chill-axing days or those extra long car trips…..

Now, if you look at the complements, you will notice that I chose not use the “Little Man” title pieces or PML cards.  If you have a Little Man in your life (even a furry one!), feel free to add these pieces back in.  My “Little Man” is 17 and taller than me, so I left them out on purpose. LOL

As always, don’t be afraid to turn some photos black and white or use a super cool filter!  And, I have been known to totally stage a photo shoot in colors that will match my layouts (think red plaid) when I love the papers!!!
