Day 3 I'd like to introduce you to Huntington

Today's featured paper packet is going to be perfect for our fall cards & layouts! May I present, Huntington. And even though I'm still in the midst of enjoying a long, lovely, warm summer we're having in the Puget Sound this year, it makes me long for falling leaves...

Day 2 Announcing...Baby Cakes

Here's the 2nd in my series of new introductions...of CTMH paper packets, this is! Baby Cakes is a perfect pattern for kid layouts, baby shower invitations/announcements or party treats. But also versatile enough to be used for all occasion cards - check out this swap card that features Baby Cakes. I think it's adorable too :)

Challenge: Color Dare #55

Happy Sunday! I found a new challenge site called Color My Heart this morning while searching for inspiration on Pinterest. And since I recently completed a swap using this week's colors, I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to submit my first entry to this group. I used Lagoon card stock to finish off this card since I didn't have the Laughing Lola blue yet - hope that meets the criteria for the challenge?!

If you're getting tired of Laughing Lola, stay tuned! Each day this week (Mon - Fri) I'll be posting the swap items I received using the other five papers featured in the new Idea Book.

My Eye Candy

I belong to a facebook group called Eye Candy. It's a group of incredibly talented consultants all over the country, who I regularly get my inspiration from. During the CTMH convention last month, I got a little caught up in the excitement (even though I couldn't be there) & signed up for my first swap with this group. We had ONE month to create seven sets of 2-pg layouts plus 2 different cards & an altered item. I picked the Laughing Lola papers, since I can't resist the purple tones & paisley designs. I nervously packed up my creations last Wed & mailed them to Texas where the organizer will swap my artwork with 6 others & send me back a package of goodies. I can't wait to see what everyone else created! In the meantime, here's what I made. What do you think of this new paper packet? It's featured in the new Idea Book - and available for purchase TODAY on my website!

Contact me if you'd like your very own copy of the fall/winter Idea Book.
