CTMH - Elemental Layout using Art Philosophy Cartridge

Next up is the 6" x 6" layout using Elemental.  I'm so glad that Close to My Heart has included 6" x 6" albums in this idea book.  They have 8 page protectors.  Though the album is not expandable, 16 pages is generally plenty for a mini album!

For this layout, I used:

• Pattern: adapted from “Reflections” – Bottom Border
• Elemental Level 2 – X7141B
• Elemental Complements Dimensional Elements – X7141C
• Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge – Z1686
• Antiqued Copper Designer Brads – Z1410
• Cocoa Grosgrain Ribbon – Z1100
• Ink: Desert Sand
• Cardstock: Desert Sand, Crème Brulee, Lagoon
• Stamp Set: D1498 from Art Philosophy collection (Z1686)

CTMH - Some Delightful Things (D1369) and Grace Papers

For this card, I used the Wishes Card Confidence Program - Sentiment Secured.  I inked the edges of all of the papers in Cocoa Ink using the Foam texture tool (including the colonial white card base and the desert sand cardstock as well as the My Reflections Grace papers).  Then, using Barn Red ink, I used the wrong side of the flower stamp from D1369 (Delightful Things) and inked it.  I stamped on scratch paper, then stamped again on cardstock (2nd generation stamping).  I flipped the stamp over and stamped using the detailed side, again in Barn Red.

For this card, I didn't use a pattern.  Instead of Barn Red Ink, I used Twilight Ink(but the same technique).  You can definitely see it better on this card.  I added a Connections Club pearl and Colonial White organdy ribbon.  I added the photo corner stamp on the upper left and lower right.

And finally - a 12x12 scrapbook layout based on Reflections Scrapbook Program  - Side Bar-Main Frame.  Again, I used Colonial White Cardstock, Grace Papers, and Twilight Ink.  I turned the base 10x8 to landscape (rather than portrait).  I added cocoa grosgrain ribbon and a twilight button (winter collection), tied with Chocolate Waxy Flax.

CTMH - What I did at the crop on Saturday

For this layout, I used the My Reflections Level 2 paper packet - Good Times. I used the Edge Distresser on the patterned paper edges, then inked with chocolate ink. I sanded the chocolate cardstock to give it better definition. I inked the Color Ready Bold Alphabet using Buttercup Ink. I added buttons from the Winter Craft Button Collection tied with natural hemp, and brads from the Winter Cozy Collection. This layout is based on a design in the Reflections How To book - one of my favorites!
