<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Birthday! Swing, swing!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This little swing card is for our granddaughter's 8th baptismal birthday anniversary. Doves and pearls are extra special because of biblical references.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll add a little handwritten note in cursive (yay, she's learning cursive this school year!) to remind her that God has made her His own dear child, and that He is ALWAYS with her!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm feeling like a Rumplestiltskin who has awakened after a long, long, non-creative nap (though I guarantee you I haven't been sleeping or napping). My life these past few years has been FULL of roadtrips and caregivings, grandchild care, and friend-care days. Now that school has begun full-time for a couple grands and childcare has become part-time, along with elder-care part-time, I am truly hoping and praying I can get back to using all the wonderful Close To My Heart and other paper stash products in my studio for awesome causes and events!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you for stopping by and renewing your hellos and comments. I hope to stay back in the mojo and share more as time goes by!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The papers are inks are sweet leaf and crystal blue from CTMH packets. The Happy Birthday stamp is from the Party Banners set, and the bird stamp is from VERVE.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Remember to make your envelope pretty by stamping it too!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blessings,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jane</span></div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H-D3Nosto4U/U8agApBQ3OI/AAAAAAAAMZY/L_WbpejN86k/s1600/necklaceformom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H-D3Nosto4U/U8agApBQ3OI/AAAAAAAAMZY/L_WbpejN86k/s1600/necklaceformom.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my mom's "half-birthday" I made her a "bird and believe" themed necklace using the Close To My Heart Base & Bling chain and square pendant (page 80 of the Spring/Summer Idea Book).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition to the rhinestone gem, I added the Believe and the little wren birdhouse charm (both from from Hobby Lobby). Mom loves to feed and watch the birds and hear them sing in their yard. Her favorite is the little brown wren who sings so pretty. She loves blue too -- the bird under the square glass cover is from the Skylark CTMH paper packet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the Skylark paper, I covered a dollar-store jewelry box to coordinate with the necklace. I paper pieced the dragonfly and "wings" to add to the top of the box.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The finished necklace! With many thanks to my DH for attaching the charms with his micro-pliers!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Tip: If you paper-piece something into your square or circle pendant under the window, use the Base & Bling Adhesive dots (cut to fit). Don't use Liquid Glass on the paper--it will ruin it. Liquid Glass works well if you use the Base & Bling Style Sheet stickers since they're sturdier material. On this necklace, I used small glue dots in each corner, which happen to show more in the photos than they do in real life.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> When I began to design this two-page layout of our granddaughters,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to hide my journaling</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">so that someday each of them could read my thoughts</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">about this very special Easter Day in 2011</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">when they were 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old.</span></div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to use two cards from the Picture My Life Chantilly Scrapbook Program</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to serve as the hidden journaling cards behind their photos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A loop of shimmer tape provides a pull for each card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll write on the pullout cards in my printing for Ella and Beatrice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think it's special to showcase our handwriting, don't you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used CTMH products (except for the background papers, from my stash.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">One of CTMH's new Spring/Summer paper packets is "Lollydoodle"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">and it's full of pretty pink, teal, pear green, and gray designs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">Because birthday girl B had yellow in her dress,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">I added the sunshine yellow-inked die cut arrows</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">to help coordinate papers with her fourth birthday photos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #134f5c;">Other CTMH items I used include:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #0c343d;">"You are the sunshine in my life!"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #0c343d;">I cherish the time we get to spend with these two little munchkins!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0c343d;">They are definitely bright spots in our lives. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0c343d;">We thank God for each one of these precious girls and all the joy they bring to us! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last September, E (6 years old) had lost another bottom tooth, and her top permanent teeth were starting to come in, making her smile so different from her "baby teeth face"! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
B (almost 4 years old) just happened to look up with her blue eyes as we ate in a family restaurant,<br />
and I caught her great natural grin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's unusual for me to create a one-page layout (rather than a two-page layout). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I wanted to focus on the two closeup photos of the girls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My page base is the Kraft paper from CTMH.<br />
Layered on that,I used the new CTMH paper packet called "Skylark"<br />
along with the Skylark Complements (sturdy die cut quotes and tags and embellishments),<br />
and the new washi tape in teal houndstooth.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a colored pencil to add teal color to the sentiment embellishment.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The patterned paper had just the right amount of color and design,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
making this a fun and easy page to create.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The teal Shimmer Trim adds a little eye-candy to the page.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead of hanging a seasonal banner across the front of our fireplace,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to create a "valance decor" for Valentine's Day this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with the pennant bases cut from black cardstock,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then used Paper Studio patterned papers in spring floral designs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for some of the pennant shapes and for all the punched circles behind the letters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Patterned papers were layered on top of lacey doilies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge to cut the I LOVE YOU letters,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then embellished each with Opaque Pearls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll most likely leave this hanging until Spring, and then</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to hanging lighter weight and lighter colored draperies too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a long winter -- Spring can't come soon enough! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These are fun to create and give as sweet surprises!</div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chBWZENETT4/Uxp7yq_7BfI/AAAAAAAAMUc/h-9cYTjMTfQ/s1600/It%27sYourDayBdayCardJHaas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chBWZENETT4/Uxp7yq_7BfI/AAAAAAAAMUc/h-9cYTjMTfQ/s1600/It'sYourDayBdayCardJHaas.jpg" height="257" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
After watching a CTMH video demonstrating the "front and back stamping" technique,<br />
I gave it a whirl.<br />
<br />
First I turned the stamp to the back side (flat side) and masked the top of the cupcake so that only the paper liner would show. I stamped this in Honey and the shape came out evenly covered.<br />
<br />
Second, I cleaned the stamp, then turned it over to the front side, and stamped the entire cupcake shape with Lagoon ink. That allowed me to see the cupcake paper "pleats" and also the icing.<br />
<br />
Then I added a few sparkles to the icing.<br />
<br />
I also used:<br />
For Always patterned paper, Honey paper, Honey ink on the birthday sentiment,<br />
and Baker's Twine<br />
<br />
I think this card turned out sweeeeet! It was fun trying something new too!<br />
It was a fun way to begin the NEW year!<br />
Happy New Year, and Happy Creating!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our son-in-law admired an event calendar I had made for our daughter,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I surprised him with a masculine version for his December birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's going to hang it in his office and ask each of his patients</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to add his or her birthday to the calendar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a thoughtful gesture!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The CTMH event calendar (perpetual) makes a great gift for anyone--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know what I'd do without mine...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You never need to re-write special birthdays/anniversaries on calendars</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
once you make and use one of these!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A card made by Sandy Trammel inspired my "Noel" card -- </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I regret not bookmarking the link, but will add it when I find it eventually!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used: Kraft paper, burlap ribbon, CTMH Cricut cartridges for the poinsettia </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the Noel title, Sparkles and Liquid Glass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I photocopied the Christmas carol from a songbook we've used through the years and printed it on Colonial White cardstock to keep the vintage look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of my favorite cards so far since I love playing music,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my favorite color is red!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's one of my Sparkle & Shine banners</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using that pretty new CTMH paper packet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and also one of the patterned papers from the retired Jingle packet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(behind the J and the I). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge was used to cut the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trees and letters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Art Philosophy to cut the circles and circle frames.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the pennant bases from poster board. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Additional items I used are the silver glitter paper,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shimmer trim, Sparkles, and the Metallic flowers.</div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Of_Yv7dk1lM/UopbordT4vI/AAAAAAAAMQc/zPKY7KlnTZs/s1600/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+AccidentPage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Of_Yv7dk1lM/UopbordT4vI/AAAAAAAAMQc/zPKY7KlnTZs/s320/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+AccidentPage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Here are a few samples of "faith"-booking layouts I've created with the purpose of sharing my Christian faith and values with family members and friends who enjoy seeing my memory albums.<br />
<br />
After being hit by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 69 near Indianapolis, I decided to journal about the happening, and share not only what happened, but also how the accident was a BLESSING in our lives. God's angels protected us from something so much worse that happened two miles further on the snowy, ice-covered road! Remember to add the negative life-happenings to your albums, not just the positive, and write how God brought you through them, provided care or protection, and how He worked in your life.<br />
<br />
(Click on the photos to enlarge them.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y06GOePN8Lw/Uopbo_M-4qI/AAAAAAAAMQY/MiH4EFAtUr0/s1600/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+Jane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y06GOePN8Lw/Uopbo_M-4qI/AAAAAAAAMQY/MiH4EFAtUr0/s320/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+Jane.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Ella and I love to giggle and sing and make up songs. Since she was a baby, I've sung "Jesus songs" to her and she has a large repertoire of favorites. She also loves musicals and memorizes all those favorite songs. I just had to document this photo from us at a Fox Theater musical. Someday, Ella may be IN a musical!<br />
<br />
Sometimes it works well to hide journaling, as in the layout below. The title and the 8x 10 inch photo are enough to catch the eye on this page. So instead of cluttering the layout with writing, I measured the space to the right of the photo where I wanted to insert a pull-out journaling card (see the flower sticking out), and then cut the Memory Page Protector with an x-acto knife to that specific length.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Jfzc1qW0n4/Uopbo9jLN3I/AAAAAAAAMQg/S4HLCKk5Muk/s1600/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+HiddenJournaling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Jfzc1qW0n4/Uopbo9jLN3I/AAAAAAAAMQg/S4HLCKk5Muk/s320/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+HiddenJournaling.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I tucked the journaled card through the memory page protector, behind Ella's photo, and now, whenever we want to read my thoughts about her and my message to her, we simply pull it out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yjcG30ZR0-s/UopbquktYuI/AAAAAAAAMQo/tp8s7XE4aS8/s1600/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+JournalingTab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yjcG30ZR0-s/UopbquktYuI/AAAAAAAAMQo/tp8s7XE4aS8/s320/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+JournalingTab.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>More about faithbooking ... </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently a few friends came over for a faith-booking workshop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pre-cut papers in a variety of colors and patterns to keep this a simple activity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Giggles & Grins layout was the sample with the simple elements--<br />
title, photo mat, and journaling space.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each one brought a totally different style of photo to feature on a one-page layout. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One was a simple silhouette someone had cut of her from looking at a photo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each person's layout turned out so unique and different. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each chose special Scripture verses and/or a hymn verse to emphasize the Christian witness she wanted to add to her page. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a truly blessed afternoon together, and we plan to continue this! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I had cut "Truly blessed" from the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for each person to use as a title if she wished.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of the works in progress below.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XbKAnCx_rqI/UopexKyTWoI/AAAAAAAAMQ8/WNSRRl-mHXA/s1600/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XbKAnCx_rqI/UopexKyTWoI/AAAAAAAAMQ8/WNSRRl-mHXA/s320/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
1) This friend wants to use her layout as a 12 x 12 inch framed wall art, and may use her extra decor items that are placed off the page in a second layout.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #741b47;">Update: She used her decorative elements and finished her wall art! See the beautiful finished product below. </span></i> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w_rkMrVQCLg/Uo5ALAEiuOI/AAAAAAAAMRY/4oNnkOEYwQg/s1600/L+O+Faithbooking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w_rkMrVQCLg/Uo5ALAEiuOI/AAAAAAAAMRY/4oNnkOEYwQg/s320/L+O+Faithbooking.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Now for the next layout ... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ted9IluQ6xs/UopexBN6-6I/AAAAAAAAMRA/dOYqfUqdeas/s1600/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ted9IluQ6xs/UopexBN6-6I/AAAAAAAAMRA/dOYqfUqdeas/s320/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+004.JPG" width="312" /></a></div>
2) This friend jotted quite a few notes and Scripture verses, and wanted to finish her journaling at home in a quiet place. I can relate to that! It's hard to focus and write while the rest of us are chatting! I know she'll finish this page in a great way as she tells about being twin sisters and the blessings that come with that!<br />
<br />
And another ... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hwEuJfZTn58/UopewpLLMyI/AAAAAAAAMQ4/whXAb3tdTA0/s1600/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hwEuJfZTn58/UopewpLLMyI/AAAAAAAAMQ4/whXAb3tdTA0/s320/2013+Nov+Faithbooking+006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
3) This friend is completely new to scrap-booking, and I was so happy she joined us and dived right in with her family photo and Scripture verses that convey her message of being so truly blessed by the Lord. I hope she continues to create, because she has great ideas and I love being with her too!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Have you tried faith-booking?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As I get older, interjecting my faith statements into memory albums becomes more and more intentional and important to me. I want those who read the pages to know what I believe and what my values are. I want to tell my story, but even more important, HIS story and how God is present in my life.<br />
<br />
Use the key word "faithbooking" (all one word) in the search bar at the top of my blog to see a few more posts about this subject. <br />
<br />
If you faith-book, or if you want more information and resources about faith-booking, leave a comment or send me an email. I'm compiling resources to share with others. I'll be happy to include you on the list!<br />
<br />
Blessings, and happy faith-booking/scrap-booking!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #990000;">Noel!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Today I made my second Christmas card for this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">I used the papers from the Sparkle & Shine paper packet</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">featured in the Close To My Heart</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">mini catalog, "Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide."</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">(To see the Holidays catalog, click <a href="http://janeellinghaas.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=2155">here</a>.) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">It doesn't look anything like my first Christmas card</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">I made last week with Sparkle & Shine!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">(You can see it <a href="http://scrappy-gram.blogspot.com/2013/10/its-time-to-sparkle-shine.html">here</a>.) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">That's the fun of these CTMH papers and embellishments --</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">each creation looks different!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-edn7qTYqMOw/Ummftbci7GI/AAAAAAAAMM8/ORkNsWo1DZA/s1600/173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-edn7qTYqMOw/Ummftbci7GI/AAAAAAAAMM8/ORkNsWo1DZA/s320/173.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">The card's base is a 6 x 6 inch Kraft card from CTMH. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">For the dimensional poinsettia, I used the Artiste Cricut cartridge</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">to cut the flower die cuts and also the Noel title. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">I layered four flower die cuts, and attached them with a sparkle brad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">I free-hand cut the leaves and tucked them underneath.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">The white poinsettia is from a retired Mistletoe embellishment packet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">The burlap strip is cut from a length of CTMH's burlap ribbon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">I scanned a Christmas carol book page </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">and then printed "The First Noel" onto colonial white cardstock</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">and trimmed the music to fit the card front.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b6biSZ4dK9Y/Ummfs4mPp7I/AAAAAAAAMNA/9UdROhaZT4k/s1600/170.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="294" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b6biSZ4dK9Y/Ummfs4mPp7I/AAAAAAAAMNA/9UdROhaZT4k/s320/170.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Inside the card, I layered the Merry Christmas stamped sentiment</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">on a strip of Sparkle & Shine patterned paper,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">and added a small pointsettia and sparkle brad</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">to the corner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">My inspiration in making this card came from </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">a card (see below) created by <i>CTMH Consultant, Sandy Trammel,</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">which she shared on the Scattered Hearts facebook group page.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I think it made a beautiful "I Love You" card,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">don't you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The doily stamp in these three layers reminds me of a precious quilt pattern--</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">a mixture of a Scandinavian and Pennsylvania Dutch design.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The tri-fold shutter card pattern is one of my favorites</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The new Sparkle & Shine papers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from Close To My Heart's "Holidays from the Heart" gift guide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are so pretty and versatile!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added strips of shimmer trim between the die cut ornament layers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for extra sparkle ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember to add a surprise INSIDE your cards too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More sparkle is layered here on top of a strip of the patterned paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I left the inside empty to attach a family photo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How many of these will I be able to finish before December 10,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the date circled on my calendar to "get cards mailed at the P.O.!" ?</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Faithbooking Layout: Psalm 145 selected verses</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Artbooking Cricut Cartridge, an exclusive product from Close To My Heart,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
made this layout a simple task and a pretty autumn-themed story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the 10 inch tree overlay so I would have extra room </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the additional gold strip across the top of page 2,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where the words of selected verses of Psalm 145 continue from page 1.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A variety of Fall colored cardstock</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
along with the die cut leaves, apples, and pumpkins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
made this clean and simple layout perfect</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for showcasing the grandgirls while apple picking and giggling together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I have more vertical and horizontal photos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll add a few layers of Flip Flaps</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
once the Memory Protectors are on these pages. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to "faithbook" these special times together,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and add Scripture verses to remind us all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how good God is, how abundantly He blesses us,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and how He is always with us, day in and day out,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even as we pick apples and make apple crisps--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gifts from His beautiful world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can simply give Him our praise and thanks </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from morning until night!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">will compliment the photos of first grader Ella</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">that her mommy will add to the layouts.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;">The big yellow bus -- the first day outfit -- the new lunch carrier & backpack ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I love summers, and wish that summer would BE endless!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Though we're in the dog days of summer now with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the thermometer reading near 100 degrees F each day,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'd much rather be warm than cold!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And we always find a pool or a clean Missouri lake</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where we can be refreshed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white;">I'm going to have to do a layout just showing our little <b>"Goggles Girl."</b></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white;">She does everything in her hot pink goggles--eat breakfast, ride in the van,</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white;">play with her dolls, and even color and craft with me. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I combined Surf's Up with Dream Pop papers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because of the great pops of color in the <span style="color: magenta;">pinks</span> and <span style="color: #cc0000;">sorbets</span>!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are my first attempts using the <b><span style="color: #0c343d;">NEW CTMH Cricut Artbooking cartridge</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the layout title and overlays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This new product provides 700 different patterns for titles, page overlays,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
memory book page patterns, borders, and icons!</div>
