Fanfare LO

 

This is the layout I did with my clubs in June.  It is a layout from the Magic book but rotated.  That is one of the great things about the CTMH layout templates. Your options are limitless since you can rotate the templates.  If you'd like to make a layout like the one pictured above please contact me to come as a guest to one of my clubs.  There is an option to come on either the 18th or 19th this July.  My email is zabel800@gmail.com.
The photos I used are from last summer.  I feel like the kids didn't change as much as I thought they would.  We went to the same beach again this year with the same swim suits.  The main difference is that Aubrey is now walking.  I'm glad.  Although it's exciting and good to watch them grow I want to hang on to my babies!

True Love Layout

 

I couldn't get enough of my niece Skylar when she was born.  She was the first grandchild in our family and my goddaughter.  I was really disappointed when I had to miss her actual birth to administer NYS ELA tests.  I told my sister just to hold on a little bit longer but I guess Skylar just couldn't wait! It's hard to believe she'll be going to kindergarten this fall.
The great part about this layout is versatility of the corner rounder.  By using it on all of the papers and pictures it really softens the layout.  And I created the flower embellishments like the ones pictured on a similar layout in the Idea Book.  I added some ribbon to my original design and used two tone embossing for the title.
This is the layout that my club members completed in May.  If creating this layout is something you'd like to try you can contact me a zabel800@gmail.com.  We create a layout or cards each month at our club gatherings.
