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 

Cards for Aug. are using the Fun new colors just added to the color palette!!

With the Amazing new Annual Idea Book CTMH just released they have added 5 new colors to the color palette!! I have featured them here on this card using the Nov. Stamp of the month. 

 Thistle, Canary,  Pixie, Glacier and Flaxen! 

 On the above card I inked the embossing folder with Flaxen before placing the paper on the folder and running it through my cuttlebug. Below I used one of my favorite colors "Whisper" to emboss with. To add a glitter glam I finished them off by adding Sequins or Bling Gems to the center of the flowers!!

My Dear Friends son created this card all by himself and shared it with me so I could have my customers make them at my upcoming workshop! I love the detail he added by shading in two different colors of ink!! Great job Dylan!!

Aug. Class projects and Introducing our NEW IDEA BOOK!!

Seaside is the Awesome new Summer paper packet featured in the new CTMH catalog. I love all the texture they have added to the paper. We are using the Seaside paper, Stamps from the collections A1164 Beach Gear, C1595 Hello Summer and the Great WOTG collection G1089 to create our pages in Aug...

These page were designed and shared with me by my Very Talented down line Vanessa Fenn!

They have also added some awesome new alcohol markers, stamp sets and fun new accessories!! I can't wait to share the new catalog with YOU!! If you have not received your new catalog from me yet and would like one please contact me ASAP to get one delivered to you!!

July Projects!

For the month of July we created some bright, cheerful pages using the promotion paper from May "Free to be Me"! I loved how cheerful this paper was so we created very simple pages that are versatile for many events!

I love the double sided papers from CTMH! The quality is excellent and the patterns go so well together!

The top pages I inked color on color to make them bright and stand out loud and proud! They have the adorable polka dot vellum to add a little extra! The layout design was published by CTMH as an extra bonus when you purchased the paper packet.

On the pages below I only inked the photo mattes, title and out side edge of the finished layout. I wanted to show how soft it was just by using the quieter side of the paper and not inking each piece of paper.

June Class projects!

Sorry I have been MIA for a little bit. We had a Crazy June at our house!

For the month of June we created these adorable Summer pages using the Jubilee paper pack and the stamp set that comes in the Works shop on the go kit...  

 I first sanded the top on ALL of the Honey card stock pieces, the red card stock that I stamped the watermelon on before stamping my image, and a little sanding right under the title to really make it pop!!  I then inked the edges of Everything with the Chocolate ink using a sponge.To finish it off add a little liquid glass on top of the watermelon seeds, flower center and the center of my sun to give a little extra finishing touch! These Cheerful pages were inspired by the talented Mary Beth Wright!   If you are interested in a kit to put together for your Summer pages or if you have any questions please contact me! 

Here is a  simple, fast and easy card idea that we created in class this month. Once again I put a little liquid glass on the seeds and sanded the red card stock before I stamped the watermelon to give it some extra texture! I hope you have a Wonderful Summer!!
