Let's Scrap Hexagons with Jackson Paper!

It is time to jump into the NEW Jackson paper from Close To My Heart! This is Layout #1! I could NOT wait to cut into this paper set. I took it with me to the big Boyne Scrapbooking retreat the first weekend of May. (My Mother's Day gift- an escape from day to day responsibilities, it was Oh so nice!)

I had the help of this beautiful sketch challenge from the Let's Scrap Sketches Blog! It "had me at Hexagons". The stamp set that goes with Jackson has hexagons in it, couldn't be a better pairing!

This is my interpretation of the hexagon cluster on the sketch template. I used a few word stamps to add subtitles here, as well as room to journal if needed. The diamond shapes were so quick and easy to add, self adhesive accents from the "Brave Enamel Shapes" (Z3073- $6.95).

This accent cluster is one stamped hexagon, one paper punched hexagon, and one enamel diamond.

I used paper scraps to create pennant shapes and layered an enaml shape and a stamped hexagon on top.

Hope you can join us for our Jackson Workshop on June 13th! Invite your friends. We will create the layout above as one of the 4 layouts we will make. You also could choose to create a set of 15 cards. More project photos will be posted soon!

Happy Crafting!

Preview! For Always Valentine Scrapbook Pages

Valentine Layout: "For Always" Paper Pack

This is a sneak peek at one of the new paper packs featured in the NEW Close To My Heart Idea Book, which will be revealed in February! I could not resist sharing this Valentine layout that I created for my daughter.

"For Always" love quote zip strip

Black and White patterned paper is perfect for Valentine's Day when it is paired with Ruby Red! I love this color combo so much that I am entering this layout in the following Challenges!

"Dynamic Duos"- DD#36 Red and Black and Valentine
"Color My Heart"- Color Dare #26 Black and White with a Pop of Color

Paper Bow cut with "Artiste" Cartridge- Cricut

I could not wait to cut out this paper bow with my new "Artiste" Cricut Cartridge from Close To My Heart!

Spiral Note Pad Page cut with "Artiste" Cartridge- Cricut

I also used the "Artiste" Cartridge to create this journaling area that looks like a note pad page ripped from a spiral book.

I LOVE the "Whooo's Your Valentine" stamp set that comes with the Valentine Kit! I have been using it even MORE then I thought I would! (And I haven't even gotten to the owls that I have plans for yet!) This stamp set might be one I won't be able to let go of!

We will make this scrapbook layout at our February Scrap Class, Feb. 23rd. RSVP with a supply order by Feb 5th.

Happy Crafting!
