Patterns on Patterns

A new Technique from CTMH
This technique is simple, yet powerful: Simply chose a  
pattern from any how-to pattern and then filled it with a
 repeated shape instead of a block of cardstock. 
I used pattern #27 in Make It From Your Heart Vol. I
and filled in section B in the pattern with hexagons. 
It's fun and simply easy. Give it a try.

A Real Color Challenge

And Mum's the Word
A real challenging color challenge at Color My heart 
that happens to go with Mum's the Word at Heart 2 Heart
With Ruby and Crystal Blue and White Daisy with
Colonial White this makes a real challenge. For me Ruby
is too bold to go with Crystal Blue. So to soften Ruby 
I stamped it second generation. Then I used Colonial
White for my mat under my White Daisy Sentiment piece.
The two whites were a good mix with the white shimmer trim.
And, a Happy Mother's Day card goes over to Heart 2 Heart.
So, share with us your idea for a Mother's Day creation or
take the color challenge at Color My Heart or both.

May is National Scrapbook Month

And Time to Celebrate with the New
Taste of Summer paper pack
When I scrapbook I usually choose my photos, then choose my papers
and cardstock, then my layout design. However for this new Taste
of Summer paper pack I have a fun new suggestion.  Grab your kids,
some popsicles, and your camera and head out to the park. Take some
great pictures and come back and add them to this layout.
Left page has places for that up close photo of your cute
little one enjoying that sweet taste of a popsicle.
Right page has a spot for a 5 X 7 group photo and some
more spots for some up close popsicle lickin' fun.
Be sure to visit all this week for some more fun with the 
Taste of Summer paper pack and stamp set.
