I used  the Magical paper pack, Whisper cardstock, Sapphire cardstock, Magical complements and Magical sequins, autumn terracotta, cranberry and outdoor denim Harvest baker's twine(retired) for the balloon strings, Happy Birthday is from D1497 Cricut Art Philosophy Celebration.

The hearts are from My Anchor thin cuts and the large heart is stamped with My Anchor stamp set. The cardstock is poppy, whisper and sapphire. I used black ink to stamp the sentiment.

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop-Display tray Decor

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop 2016

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured product is (Display Trays).
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 Clark
) you are in the right place.
Now on to my project:

I happened to have the 2 different trays which I'm afraid are retiring at the end of the Annual Inspirations at the end of July I do believe.

The first one is the hinged display tray. I used the Happy Times paper which will no longer be available as well as the stamp set. I do have a few packs of the paper available though if anyone is interested in getting it.

The pawprint in the heart is from the CTMH Artistry Cricut cartridge. The Family cut out was cut on my cricut explore but not sure of the origin of the letters. I added some coral sequins and triangle studs as embellishments. The Happy Times was fussy cut.

This display tray was fun to do. I used Georgie PML cards and a zip strip from the Georgie paper pack as well as a few pieces from the Georgie Complements. Sweet Baby Boy must have been a free one with my Explore because I can't find in any books and Little One is from the Artbooking cartridge.

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop- Artistry Cartridge

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured product is (Artistry Cricut Cartridge).
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 (Kim Loewen) you are in the right place.
Now on to my project:
This is the cover for a 6X8  First Baby Book mini album. It will be a bit of a process but I'm looking forward to finishing it.

I used the Artistry cartridge to cut out the rounded border on the bottom, p. 34, the little arrow , p.1, the hot air balloon, p. 34, frame for the photo, p.14 and the name tag at the top, p.47. 

The paper pack is Georgie and the complements

Cardstock is retired Buttercup, Juniper and Whisper.

The words in the name tag were printed with a Cricut Silver metallic marker that fits into my Cricut machine.

I used Give a Lift stamp set for Welcome on the ballon and My Anchor stamp set and thin cuts for the boat.  

 The hearts are from a retired puffie pack and the charms and button brads are from Michaels.

 The spine of this book has buttercup cardstock with juniper cardstock where I cut out the name with my Cricut. Not sure what font I used but the letters were too small to do anything with so I used the negative space. I like it!
