Seasonal Expressions 1 New Product Blog Hop

Oh, don't you just love a new idea book and all the possibilities for new projects?  Join us on today's blog hop to see what's new in the Seasonal Expressions 1 idea book from Close To My Heart.

If you have never participated in a blog hop before, it is just one big loop of creative ideas.  If you are coming from Krista's blog, you are on the right track.  If you are starting here, just look for the link at the end of my post and successive posts to see where to go next.

For my project I used the beautiful  new  Cut Above™ Layout Kit—Forever & Always kit.  It is designed to be used as a beginner's kit with a layout and several pocket pages.  I love the papers and die cuts from this kit and wanted to create my own pages using the materials from it.  

Here is what the original kit looks like - beautiful and easy to complete with the directions included.


See the kit supplies here .

The two double page layouts I designed use the papers, die cuts (which I just had to punch out), and Picture My Life cards and some of the complements from this kit.  I will save the large pocket pages included with it for another project.  I substituted pocket plus insert pages to augment each layout.

Seasonal Expressions 1 New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to  Close To My Heart
Seasonal Expressions 1 
New Product 
Blog Hop

If you are arriving from Wendy's blog , you are on the right path.
To continue visiting each blog on the hop, just look for the bolded
link at the end of each blog entry along the way.  If you get lost, 
you can find a complete blog hop list here.
  

I chose to work with our beautiful new paper pack, Charlotte, paired with the new 
stamp set Springtime Wishes and our new CTMH Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts which 
will work with your Cuttlebug or other die-cutting machines.


First of all, I must thank fellow consultant, Peggy Pawlak, for the inspiration 
on this layout.  She shared a beautiful layout on the CTMH consultant bulletin board 
using a similar paper combination from this packet. 
The nice thing about this layout is that each page can be turned in 
varying directions and it still looks wonderful.   

I learned a lot about working with the new Thin Cuts both by playing
 with them and from the CTMH video about this great new product.  
You can see the Close To My Heart Thin Cuts video here.

Here are a few close-up shots of the flowers I stamped, colored with our 
ShinHan TouchTwin markers, and then cut with the Thin Cut dies.

Just a note for my regular scrapbook club gals: This is one of the layouts that we will be doing in February using the Charlotte paper pack.
