Take a peek at one of the single-page scrapbook patterns—great for the opening page of your album—in our Make It from Your Heart® publication. With both card and scrapbook patterns included, you’ll turn to this publication time and time again!

Courtship Album

These are photos of an album I did for a friend last year. It was a gift from him for his bride to be. Every few weeks during their courtship he would give her a 2 page layout. Except for the first one and last layout. The first one was mail out to her and the last one he gave to her the day they got married. I did not get photos for a few of the layouts because he showed up unexpectedly to get them. I am missing pages 2, 3, 4, and 5. It was a 10 page album. I really enjoyed doing this album for him. The paper packs he chose for the album were CTMH Back Country and Lucky. I supplied the embellishments and I made the little chocolate bar. The ribbon tabs on the first page are used to pull out a journal box. The layouts with the distorted image was a personal drawing and a poems he composed for her.

I will be attending the CTMH Vancouver Regional Celebration on September 23rd and 24th.  As part of our registration we got the opportunity to complete 5 two page layout for free.  We were sent instructions with the kits and techniques we were to use.  These are the five layout that I did.

Tumbler Ridge, BC Area

I had the opportunity to go on a nature walk this past fall with some friends. I decided that I would use Studio J and do three layouts. Nine years ago I shattered my right ankle bone and this was the first time since then that I was able to go on a hike.

Remembering Christopher

It is hard to believe that it will be a year this Sunday January 23 that my son died. I miss him very much. The following is a remembrance I put in our newspaper. I added the rose for the blog, it was not on the one for the newspaper.

Studio J Layouts

Here are some more Studio J layouts I have just created. I really enjoy using Studio J. It is fun, easy and fast to use. When I receive my layouts in the mail I will be adding real embellishments to them. I also enjoy creating traditional layouts. I hope to get some posted here on my blog in the near future.

More Studio J Layouts

These layouts are the ones I did for October. They are of my little granddaughter Makenna. It was a lot of fun doing them.

Our Three Grandchildren

These are some of the layouts I did of our three grandchildren. I did them using CTMH Studio J. I love Studio J.
