G is for Good Life Complements

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter G. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their G element will be featured in their post.

If you came from Jenifer then you're on the right track!

For my G, I decided to use the Good Life Complements. I love how bright and sparkly these are!

I paired the Good Life Complements with paper from the Some Kinds Wonderful Paper Packet as well as the Adventure Fundamentals. 

Look at these gorgeous embellishments! The title stickers, glitter arrow, gold stars and washi strips are all from the Good Life Complements and make decorating a page so easy!

Complementary Cards

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured product is Complements.

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can find the complete list at the end of this post.   If you came here from Annette you are in the right place. Now on to my project:

I decided to make two cards using the Some Kinda Wonderful Complements as these are bright and chherful, sure to bring a smile to anyone's face!

I focused on the animal stickers for these cards, as I have a couple of nieces with birthdays coming up and I wanted something cute and whimsical.



The first card uses one of the PML cards from the Some Kinda Wonderful Paper Packet, which I paired with Raspberry cardstock. The PML just said 'wonderful' and so I added the 'hope your day is' with a stamp. I also added some black star sparkles around the card. The Complements I used on this card were the turtle, the stripy heart and the dark blue love heart circle. These blend in so well with the spotty paper design!



The second card uses two zip strips from the paper packet, as well as the fun Raspberry patterned paper. I added the cat and the speech bubble to the White Daisy panel, and stamped the sentiment in the speech bubble using Black ink. I also used some of the black glitter embellishments from the Some Kinda Wonderful Complements, and added more of the star sparkle stamping and Blue Enamel Dots.

Crushing on Complements!

I am in love with the new My Boy Complements from CTMH- with two boys of my own I create a lot of masculine layouts so these are perfect for me!

My son recently celebrated his 7th birthday, and I wanted to create a fun double page spread for the birthday party photos.

I used Whisper Cardstock for my background and added some accents of patterned paper from the Enchantment Fundamentals Paper Packet. Then the My Boy Complements did the rest of the work for me!



The left hand side features a title pennant from the complements, as well as a star cluster and another sentiment sticker.



More star clusters on the right hand side, as well as this gorgeous 'hello handsome' title. The only stamping I did was to add some journal lines from a retired Stamp of the Month.



I love how the Complements brightened up this page in a matter of minutes- they do all the work for me! If you have some CTMH Complements at hand, why not join us over at Heart 2 Heart Challenges for the Complements Challenge this month?

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #176

I can't believe I had a whole day to craft last week- the time was well spent and I absolutely fell in love with some of the new products that had been burning a hole in their delivery box! 

One of the cards I created was based on this week's sketch at Atlantic Hearts.

I grabbed the new items in front of me and set to work!

I started off with a Colonial White card base, and added some of the papers from the Rustic Home Fundamentals. I also added some of the All Together Complements for the flowers and the decorative strip.

The leaves were stamped in Chocolate ink from the September Stamp of the Month Blessed Beyond Measure, and the sentiment was also stamped in Chocolate ink from one of the Flower Market exclusive stamp sets.



I really like the rustic simplicity of this card, and I will be playing more with this colour combination! Fingers crossed I get another day all to myself to craft again soon- I have been flat out this month and September is looking even busier.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Georgie for my Gorgeous Boys

This week, Close To My Heart has asked us to create a page about why I scrapbook, preferably using the Georgie Paper Packet, with a chance to win an amazing prize pack.

I was very much inspired by their earlier post and so I recreated this layout using the yellows and blues from Georgie, Zoe and Kaleidoscope.

Here is a layout of my two gorgeous boys. I was told I would never have children, so every day I am in awe of these two little dynamos. I want to show them that I love the special moments between the two of them, and their brotherly bond is something I cherish.



Who can resist these smiles?



The journaling says "I love scrapbooking these special moments between the two of you. My miracle boys, you make me smile every day."

I thought this stamped sentiment was very appropriate for this layout- I stamped the whole sentiment with Canary ink then rolled the top two lines in Juniper ink to create this effect.



This layout will hopefully show my boys why I scrapbook- I love capturing their bond and it is something that we will all look back on and remember.

This layout is also for the Color Dare this week as the other paper packets have these colours in them too.

Featured Product- Complements

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured product is Complements.

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can start here at the beginning as I have the complete list.

If you came here from Annette you are also in the right place. Now on to my project:

I decided to make a card mixing two of my favourite lines, Zoe and Regatta. I made a little Kraft abnner on top of the Zoe paper, which I blinged up with White Shimmer Trim. The sentiment was stmaped in a circle I cut out from the top of the patterned paper. I used the complements from the Regatta line to frame my stamped sentiment.



Here is a close up of the Complements framing the negative circle and sentiment. I love how Regatta has these flowers as well as the nautical embellishments, which really makes it versatile for a lot of themes.
