New Year resolutions!

Hello Everyone, I hope each and Everyone of you had a wonderful Holiday Season!! With the new year just around the corner I am hoping to get a few things organized and de- junked at my house!
As I organize and clean I will post a few of my ideas that I have to share, and hopefully it will help you to get your items organized as well :)
First I will share my Washi tape organizer. I love the Washi tape dispenser and how it fits in my small organizer (Z3148)! I have ordered a couple more dispensers so I have one for each type of washi tape, but until they arrive I thought I would share my idea with you! I really like how it keeps all my tape in one spot and closes for easy storage or to take with me when I am on the go!!

Enjoy and please let me know if you have any questions or Suggestions on organizing you are willing to share!!

Pathfinding

Good Morning,

Yuletide Carol pages

Here is a set of pages to coordinate with the layouts that I created in my clubs this month. On this set of pages I used the coordinating stickers and accents. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the ribbon! I love this black striped ribbon because it goes with Everything!! With so many Christmas pictures I will also have this set of pages available to purchase as a kit to go along with my other pages!

Oct. 2014 Pathfinding Fall Pages

I love this time of year when the leaves change to such bright colorful colors! The air cools off and it is just such an enjoyable season!!
To celebrate Fall I used the beautiful Path finding papers to create pages and cards this month! We used the Scor-board to dry emboss the bamboo and goldrush cardstocks to add some fun texture to the pages! Then sanding the dry embossed lines on the Goldrush paper, and inking the Bamboo photo mattes!

 The top set of pages was designed by my talented upline Sheri Rhottler, and I just changed it up a little bit! It uses the Pathfinding compliments to finish off the page. Plus to add a special little finishing touches I added shimmer trim behind the chevron punch , I love the extra little bling to finish off my projects!
   The set of pages below are the exact same layout without the compliments. Allowing you to have more photo wells!

The next Layout was inspired by the talented Liz Mullins to use some more of the compliments on a Cute coordinating set of pages!!

I have a couple of kits left that include 2- 2 page layouts and 2 cards!

I am so Excited to share my projects for Sept.!!

When I saw the new CTMH catalog I was in love with the FUN New paper packets!! I loved the bright fun colors they had used for Halloween projects. Brenda Rose presented to us at convention and she had made some adorable pages using the Scaredy Cat paper collection. So I have taken her idea changed it up a bit and created 4 pages using the Paper, Stickies and Accesories! When you complete these adorable layouts you will only have a couple of stickies left,  I used almost the whole package!

 This first layout uses the colonial white side of the paper, then on the second set I turned the paper over to use the bright Orange side it and really makes it stand out! So you can choose which look you like by simply turning the paper over!

 The second set of pages also uses the Adorable stickies and Acces.! Oh and I forgot to mention our Awesome new black striped ribbon :)  To add the last finishing touch I then went over different parts of the stickies with liquid glass to make them stand out just a little bit more! I love the way these pages turned out and I am sure you will too!!

Please contact me to order a kit to put a set together for yourself dbrinkerhoff@ubtanet.com or you can easily order all the supplies to create you own on my website janel.ctmh.com
