Heather's Paper Playroom

I’m back again with another page is my Race Day journal.  For this page I created a stencil with scrap paper and the floral pocket die from set 2160 Romance. I used the stencil to decorate my Coffee Dyed paper.  I used the same die to add a pocket onto my page to hold some memorabilia.  I used the 2016 Journal File XL1 Set to cut a tab for the daily schedule. The die has a flap on it which I just trimmed off. I also added a stamp from set CS232 Label Tabs.  You can see the full but short process video below.  Thank you so much for stopping by and have yourself a WONDERFUL day!

I'm having so much fun putting together these workshops and I really feel like I'm starting to get caught up.  The workshop features the Basics Fundamental paper pack, the Better Together complements and the Basics ribbon pack.  I still have a bit of paper left over and am planning on creating one more double page layout with the new Blush cardstock.  The instructions are free with your purchase of the workshop components or you can purchase the instructions separately for only $10. If you're interested in attending an in person workshop for this then you can find monthly club dates on my facebook page .  To purchase the instruction only just drop me a message at paperplayroom@hotmail.com.  

I finished my Falling for You workshop!  As with previous workshops this is the standard Workshop Your Way kit with the added coordinating cardstock package.  I did change up one of the base pages for the original workshop but otherwise they are the same.       If you don't know, I host monthly club nights at my house, typically on the third Friday of the month.  While some folks work on these kits other just work on their own projects.  It's always a fun night and we usually get a lot done.  If you're interested in joining in just let me know.  If you're not local to Barrie, Ontario and would like the instructions for this workshop you can purchase it for $10 or it's free with your online kit order.  Just email me at paperplayroom@hotmail.com for ordering details. The above layouts are the kit layouts and the next ones are my bonus layouts.

I've been getting caught up on my Halloween layouts.  This is a retired paper but it suited the subject. This is the workshop layout but I changed the title to suit my needs.   I've used the swiping technique to stamp my title images.  So simple but a great effect.

So, I have two little boys.  I still love some of the girly type paper though.  I have found that I can make almost any of the girly type paper packs work for my boy layouts.    Although there are lots of florals and pinks in this kit I pulled out those and used some cardstock to keep it simple and more masculine.   This paper is retired now but I bet that I can pretty much do this with any kit.  I challenge you to try this too.  I'd love to hear which kits you've done this with. 

Did you know that Picture My Life cards make great layouts? At one of the CTMH events we were shown how to create this adorable layout with PML cards .   Such a great idea and so simple.  It only takes a few minutes to put together one of these layouts. The gold polka-dot washi tape also makes the layout really look great.   Did you notice that both pages are basically the same layout?  I hope you enjoyed my layout.  I'd love to hear what you think.  Please leave me a comment below.

I just love the new Urban collection!  I hope you that you like it as much as I do. I completed the workshop layout.  It can be completed using the Cricut Artistry cartridge.  This new cartridge has some amazing shapes on it, just as you would expect from CTMH.  I love these little badge buttons from the Urban Assortment .  I also completed the second layout from the workshop kit.  Well, it's basically the same layout.  I didn't want to use the peacock cardstock for the background so I switched up the papers.  I really like how the papers compliment the photos.  If you would like to see the instructions, you can find them here .  Below is the CTMH version of the alternate layout.   I hope you enjoyed my layouts.  I'd love to hear what you think about my version of the alternate layout.  Please leave a comment below.

Here is my final piece of art from Convention 2013.  This is a mini book that I made for my roommates.  I also decided to make one for myself.   I made the front cover in Photoshop using some graphics that I downloaded.  My intent was for it to be a sort of autograph book but it didn't really turn out that way. Instead I just filled it with some pictures and memorabilia.    It's a cute little book that holds some key memories as well as some of the connections that I made.  A couple of little pockets hold business cards from fellow consultants and other little bits and pieces. I added a little signature on the back.  I hope you enjoyed my Convention memories.  You can find the other below. Part 1    Part    Part 3     Part 4

So I'm a little behind on my blog posts again.  I finally managed to take pictures of lots of my projects again.   Here is my Zoe Workshop layout.  I really love this paper pack.  It's so adorable and works for pretty much any photo.   If you interested in creating you own Zoe layout you can purchase it here .   Thanks for stopping by and if you are interested in coming to my monthly club to create layouts like this then just drop a comment and I'll give you all the details. 

Welcome to part IV of my CTMH convention layouts.  If you missed my other layouts then you can find them here . This is the second layout that we were given at convention.  I love how simple yet very pretty it is.  It includes some random tone on tone stamping on the base pages.  I used a chipboard embellishment that I was given to put on my badge as a for symbol first time attendees, I believe.  I really wanted to include it somewhere and it fit perfectly with this layout. A tradition during convention is to exchange roommate gifts.  I decided to make a mini book for my roommates and was given this Disney pin by one of them.  I love the pin because it's not something I would buy myself but it's a great keepsake from our resort.  I love that I was able to fit it onto this layout.  My other roommate generously gave us lots of Disney embellishments which you can find throughout my layouts. Stayed tuned fo...

Here's another pocket scrapbooking layout.  I'm finding these a lot of fun but sometime a little challenging.  They are quite different than traditional scrapbooking so sometimes I have a hard time deciding what I should do. I usually follow a pattern or use a how to book for my layouts but with PML I just do what I think works.  The Later Sk8r PML kit was perfect for this layout.  It includes lots of sports images in addition to lots of others.  I added a flip flap onto the right side as I had just a couple extra photos that I really wanted to include.  They fit perfectly on the PML pages . I also included some retired enamel shapes and enamel stars .  I hope you enjoyed seeing my layout and are inspired to create something fun of your own.
