{my} CTMH Portland Regionals Contest Projects

I made the 2 pages layout and card for the 2009 CTMH Portland Reg. Celebration's Contest.

I'm not the winner of the prize but happy enough to be at TOP 5 for the finals.

All the supplies are from CTMH. Requirements of the corporate.

These were fun and easy to make! Had a great time sharing them with the fellow ladies.

Next will share the SWAP's card and layout I made for this same event.

Thanks for looking.

Good stuff to inspire: images from Oregon Trip#1

We went to Oregon 2 weeks ago. My husband and I decided it would be a road trip so we could stop anytime for convenience or just for fun. And I had lots of fun taking some nice pictures!

Some of the places we stopped by...Redding (N. California) - TURTLE BAY, then getting to Oregon ASHLAND ( the historic hotel, the Shakespeare spot, a beautiful park - need to find out its name), MEDFORD and finally PORTLAND.

Today I'm sharing some of the pictures I took from the inside of the historic hotel, where I found many vintage collector's display with sea shells (loved them), bird eggs and more little intricate things.

I do believe when we're keeping our eyes and hearts wide open, we can always discover so many places to inspire and put us to fun creativities...

Got some new projects' ideas after the trip. Sure thing!

That's all for now.

Smiles,

A card for good

The card was made to be given to a customer and friend. She had an accident and I wanted to cheer her up.

I like the way how it came out fresh and feminine...

Supplies: all from CTMH.

Autumn right here...

Besides Spring, Autumn is my favorite season of the year too.

I love to find and see the things that represent so well the nostalgic feeling of the season...red leaf and acorn.

Here I made (it was the Make and Take project for the September CTMH Gathering and Showcase) - a set of 3 small cards (3" x 3"), with stamped images cut outs and pearls.

Supplies: all from CTMH(Close To My Heart).

Happy Autumn!

card for a friend - project review PR #01

I'll start my Project Review with this one today.

I have many scrapbook page layouts, cards and other paper crafts I made before having a blog, I simply kept the images in my computer. Now with this new space - created just for my own stuff - I think it's time to share them as a project review(PR), along with the current ones.

This is a card I made for a friend 2 years ago.

The card was part of our gift to her new photo studio grand opening.

Supplies: stamps(HERO ARTS), patterned paper(DCWV), punch(FISKARS and EK), ribbon (OFFRAY), ink pad(CTMH).
