Scrapbook Challenge 28 from Cherish using CTMH Grace Papers

By Helen | October 11, 2009

I love autumn.  The cool crisp air, the colors of the leaves, and the new CTMH Grace paper pack will be perfect for capturing those autumn photos.  The stickers that coordinate with the paper pack are all about fun, family, friendships and blessings.

Scrapbook Challenge 28 comes to us from the CTMH Cherish how-to book and is the Color Celebration pattern on page 30.  These books are like page maps or page sketches that you may be familiar with.  I love that the books give sample layouts along with other tips throughout the book.  If you’ve never tried one of CTMH’s how-to books, email me and I’ll send you a PDF of a pattern (or two) to try.

When I was putting together the Grace Scrapbook Layouts for my Get More Done scrapbook club, I saw the ribbon type strip on the striped paper.  I thought…how fun would that be to cut that out and use it on a layout!  I was inspired by my friend and fellow CTMH Consultant Lynn Como’s use of the paper flowers under the edge anchors.  I couple that with the paper “ribbon.” 

Tip: There are times where a paper piece, or a ribbon piece for that matter, just won’t reach across an entire page.  I had to “stretch” the paper “ribbon” to fit the page.  The pieces extend out both sides of the title, and I left a space in the middle behind the heart and flower.

Materials:

  • CTMH Grace Paper Pack
  • CTMH Grace My Stickease
  • CTMH Cocoa Ink Pad
  • CTMH Texture Tools – I used the Sea Sponge Tool to add Cocoa ink to all papers
  • CTMH Rustic Edge Anchors – these come as part of the Grace Basic Workshop Kit
  • CTMH 3D Foam Squares
  • 2 sheets of Colonial White cardstock for the bases
  • 1 sheet of Bamboo cardstock added – this coordinates beautifully with the Grace papers

    Helen, I love the challenges you put on the Bb and I have finished them all except the last one. I have a few more pictures for 27 and then find the ones I want on my hubby’s computer for the latest one. I hope you know I am not picking on you on the BB but I don’t mean any harm…I love that you post these and love what you do. Someone told me I was being mean…I’m sorry if I am…Iona {{{hugs}}}
