All Grown Up - 'Graduation' Scrapbook Layout

Who knew that the Seaside paper was so versatile !!!
Here I have used it on a graduation layout of Leo.

I used the 'Timeline" pattern from the Imagine How To Scrapbook Program. These book make it so quick and simple to make a stunning layout very easily. I use them all of the time and highly recommend them x

The Base and Bling alphabet stickers formed the title - these will be retiring so stock up while you can !! I love the finished result along with the stars which I cut from Black glitter paper on the Cricut.

Smile - Scrapbook Layout - Extravaganza 2014

This is such a great day - out for the day on a Catamaran boat with CTMH when we were in Costa Rica on the CTMH Incentive Trip. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful boat values at $500,000!!!

Here the Base and Bling charms and pendant pieces were mixed with the metal Seaside compliments - a perfect pairing.

The Desert sand cardstock was scored both horizontally and vertically to give the illusion of wooden planks and then heavily distressed with the White Daisy pigment ink pad. Loved the finished result. Gold bling gems (which will soon retire) formed the centers of the flowers. I use so many of these gems are they really do seem to co-ordinate with everything. Make sure you stock up before they go as it is while supplies last

You & Me Scrapbook Layout - Extravaganza 2014


This is one of my favorite layouts from CTMH - and is made using the Make it from your Heart Vol. 1 of the 'How To' programs. These programs are great as they give you a blueprint, a cutting guide and then finished artwork examples as inspiration. Brilliant !

Here is another way you can add the Base and Bling jewelry to your pages - on the left hand page I have added a pendant and on the right hand page I added the charms - the Eiffel Tower at the bottom and the '&' on the title is another charm where I cut the loop off it. I colored the now retired clear sparkle flourishes with the brown ShinHan alcohol marker.

Base & Bling Cards - Extravaganza 2014



Here are 3 more cards decorated with the Base and Bling line of jewelry products.

The top card has a pendant piece on it and again I have cut off the hanging loop to make it more of a statement piece. The border is cut on the Cricut in the gold shimmer cardstock.

The middle card was embossed in a diamond pattern and then heavily inked using Colonial White ink to give it a Shabby Chic look and again I used the chain as a ribbon and added the bird charm which i had cut off the hanging loop with an old pair of scissors.

The final card features a sticker on its own and the mustache charm again with the loop cut off it.

Even though they all have the same color combination there are 3 very different styles.

Extravaganza 2014 cards with Base and Bling



Here are 3 of the cards which I made using the Base and Bling jewelry line. It is very versatile.
The top one has a pendant piece with just a sticker in it but no glass, the middle one has the pendant with the sticker and the glass added, and the bottom card shows the sticker on its own - not inside the pendant but then using the chain as ribbon.

I also used the Floral Embossing folder on the colonial white cardstock which I then distressed heavily with Desert Sand ink. This folder is available on its own or as part o a 2 design or 3 design discount pack as it will retire shortly. Hop on over to my website to check out the other patterns and get them while supplies last

Hope you like what I made & that it inspires you to create - Love Sara xxx
