"Game On" Memory Showcase Album

Today I worked on Justin's Memory Showcase Album to go inside his Memory Box Keeper. (See yesterday's post.)

I decided to make the 6 x 6 inch album to allow more space in his box for his "treasures" from the soccer seasons.

Here's the cover with the Game On papers, Stickease, and a Foundry Frame:




Pages 1-4 ... Papers, Stickease, pewter brads, foam squares, black CTMH ribbons ... (Click on a photo to enlarge it.)



Pages 1 & 2 ... Page 1 has space for him to write his 3 things he likes best about soccer.



Pages 3 & 4 ...

Back cover, pages 5-6, front cover ...

Back cover with circle Window Charms ...

A tiny redo of Page 3 -- After I took the first set of photos, I decided to outline the "a" with a black marker to help it stand out ... now you can see it!

It's just as fun to make papercraft items for boys as it is for girls! The "Game On" papers and Stickease are really cool IRL.

Hope your Monday was marvelous, magical, and most abundantly blessed!

Pregnancy Journal Album for a Friend

Our friends' daughter is expecting their first baby!

What could be more fun than to play with the pretty Key To My Heart papers and Expecting stamps from Close To My Heart to make this gift album?

She can include pix and journaling as she wishes, as they count down the days for the arrival of their tiny blessing.

Wonderful Sunday Workshop

Make a Smilebox slideshow Eight friends came to Sunday afternoon's memory keeper box and album workshop. Each person's project was so beautiful and unique. Each used a different packet of Close To My Heart papers: Boom-Di-Ada, Vintage Travel, Whoops-A-Daisy, Emporium, Magic Moments, Silhouette, Free Spirit, and Sweet Pea. Thank you, Hollie, Becca, Sandy, Linda, Kristin, Paula, Elaine, and Emily for being with me this afternoon! Special thanks to my upline, Deb, in Ohio for getting the new Idea Books to us for today!

X Box and Album

Here's a memory keeper box and a coordinating photo album for a young boy who likes trucks, cars, boats, and everything that moves! I repeated circles and dashes throughout the project and added some "all-boy" stamps and journaling pull-out cards.

I used the Close To My Heart box, album, Childhood Boy stamps, chocolate ribbon, autumn mini brads, chocolate photo clip, buttons, hemp, chocolate marker, and a chipboard X (inked with outdoor denim). Papers are from a local scrapbook store.

Unforgettable Gift Set

I used the CTMH "Unforgettable" Level 2 Paper Packet, Stickease, Fancy Cut Botanicals, Clear Sparkles, Sassy Strands, Square Window Charm, and a lot of Liquid Glass for these items--Close To My Heart's Memory Keeper Box, 9 x 9 inch accordion album, and birthday card.

Colors of papers and inks are Juniper, Sorbet, and Cocoa. Stamps are from the sets of Adorning Corners, Say It In Style, and Special Friendship. Ribbon is Sheer Elegance. The card design is a template in CTMH CEO Jeanette Lynton's Originals book.

This is a good example of how easy, fun, and simple CTMH products are to use!

Stardust

It's so much fun to play with the new papers from CTMH!

Here is Stardust on the memory keeper box and accordion album

that fits into the box.

I used the Stickease embellishments, lots of pop dots, Liquid Glass,

hemp, buttons, and pewter brads--it's ALL BOY.
