I Live For These Moments

I am finishing up my layouts from the CTMH Spring/Summer Idea book. This was one of my favorite paper packs and I love the layout on the cover. I was relieved to see that the Stella paper pack and Complements Canvas Shapes are available in the Autumn/Winter Catalog. If you are interested in ordering this paper, you can go to my website here to purchase it.

Join my team in August

I was so excited to get this gorgeous backpack/totebag just for going to this year's Close to My Heart Convention. It was such a hit that CTMH is offering it to everyone who signs up in August. I would love to have you join my team and go to Convention with me next summer at, get this, Disney World!!! How awesome will that be. Plus you will be able to bring your families and get discounted room rates from 3  days before the convention until 3 days after. I am so excited and always have so much fun. Won't you join me? Plus they are offering something else for new consultants. I promised that I wouldn't tell....so stay tuned until August 1.  If you are interested in joining CTMH, check out my consultant site: loriscott.ctmh.com.

4th of July Layout

I have really been into making Paper Piecing Layouts recently. I love the way they turn out, but word of warning, they are not the easiest layouts to make. Every little piece has to be cut out and pieced together. I used the Silhouette Camio with the Design Studio Software to cut the pieces. If you get a Silhouette, make sure you purchase the software, otherwise the pieces are difficult to see on the screen. The Patriotic Bears came from "Designs on Cloud 9" and the title came from "Scrapping Bug Designs." The background paper is from CTMH's Fanfare paper pack.
