This paper packet was fun. It's from the Blue Skies campaign.  This one was real easy.  White cardstock, Canary Yellow photo mats.  The white cardstock was cut to 11" placed over Smoothie cardstock.  The zip strip at the bottom is from the paper packet.  The kite, words, ice cream cone & bike were all stickers from the sticker sheet.  The clouds were stamped & cut from thin cuts & popped up on page.


This 12 x 12 layout and the three below are from my CTMH  May 2020 12 x 12 layout class.  This layout starts out with Peach colored cardstock over white cardstock where I used the CTMH Floral Borders stamp (C1822).  I colored the flowers using Spectrum Noir markers.  The Lady on the bicycle, & the Eiffel Tower were cut from metal dies. The Canary Yellow border on the white photo mounts were cut from the CTMH border metal die.  The words Spring Time & Paris were printed from Free Clip Art on the web.

This was fun paper.  This 12 x 12 layout & the two below this were all made from the CTMH Stitched Together Paper & Sticker paper packet.  The background paper is Glacier cardstock.  The floral paper is a 4" strip laid on top of a 5" piece of Candy Apple cardstock.  The Peach color is a 2 3/4" wide patterned paper from the packet. The red & blue flowers are stickers. The dark blue sticker in the upper right hand corner was placed on a Canary yellow circle I punched out & I popped it up. The little flowers were punched out using a little flower punch. I cut out a tag using white cardstock & embellished it with washi tape.

This fun layout was real easy.  The back ground paper is the lighter side of the Peach cardstock. The red paper at the top is a 1 3/4" strip of red pattern paper in the paper packet.  The light blue strip below is a 1/2" zip strip from paper pack, the quilted paper is a 4" strip from the paper packet & the 1/2" zip strip that runs across it comes from the paper pack also.  The words Good Times & flowers are stickers from the paper packet.  I cut the ladybug from Free Clip Art on the computer. The white photo mounts were outlined with the Sapphire cardstock.


This is from my May CTMH 12 x 12 Layout class.  This was fun paper. It's the Stitched Together Paper & Sticker sheet.  The background paper is Sapphire, the photo mounts are Peach cardstock.  The flowers & butterflies are stickers. I popped up the butterflies.  I also used a couple of the Picture my life cards.  The birdcage & bird was cut from a metal die.
