One of the things I love about being a CTMH Consultant is the ability to make a difference in the life of a child. For just $240 Operation Smile provides life changing clef palette and clef lip surgeries. A portion of every CTMH stamp set sold goes to Operation Smile. Imgaine giving a mother the gift of her child's smile - so rewarding!

CTMH Silhouette Layout with Cricut Accents
By Helen | January 28, 2008
I love the new Creative Basics collections Close To My Heart (CTMH) is making. These are packages of two designs of patterned papers and come with coordinating ribbons! This layout is the Understudy scrapbook layout from CTMH’s Imagine how-to book.
Complete list of materials:
- CTMH Creative Basics – Silhouette Collection
- CTMH Bamboo Cardstock
- CTMH Black Cardstock
- CMTH Colonial White Cardstock
- CTMH White Daisy Cardstock (used for bases)
- CTMH Make It Count stamp set and acrylix blocks
- CTMH Bamboo Ink Pad
- CTMH Black Ink Pad
- CTMH Edge Distresser
- CTMH Texture Tools
- Cricut Accent Essentials Shape Cartridge
- Cricut Expression Machine
- Coluzzle Circle Template
- Coluzzle Cutting Mat
- Coluzzle Swivel Knife
- Tombow Adhesive
- Bonding Memories Glue Pen
- Piercing Tool
Directions:
- All of the lace papers are “aged” using the Sea Sponge Tool and Bamboo ink.
- The photo mats are all distressed using the Edge Distresser and then the white edges are aged with the Bamboo ink.
- Stamp the large clock face with Roman numerals in Black ink on Colonial White cardstock. Cut out using the Coluzzle Circle Template. Stamp the hands onto the clock in Black ink. This is fun – you can choose whatever time you want! I want to use this layout for New Year’s Eve, thus, I chose to put the time as just before midnight.
- Stamp the clock outer frame in Bamboo on Colonial White cardstock. Cut out using the Coluzzle Circle Template. Stamp the sentiment “You only live once. Make it count” using Black ink.
- Stamp the numbers in Bamboo ink onto a 1 1/2″ x 6″ strip of Bamboo cardstock. Center the numbers between the top & bottom edges of the strip. You’ll need to stamp it multiple times. Stamp the sentiment “magic moments” over the numbers using Black ink. Using the Black Stubble Tool and Black ink, “age” the edges of the title.
- Stamp the sentiment “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. ~ Ecclesiastes” in Black ink on a scrap of Bamboo cardstock. Trim as desired. Using the Black Stubble Tool and Black ink, “age” the edges of the sentiment.
- Assemble the page as shown.
While I’m planning on putting photos from New Year’s Eve on my layout, this works for heritage photos as well as family, birthday, or elegant events.
