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!

Scrapbook Challenge 34 from Cherish using Sweet Home
By Helen | November 22, 2009
I really love how different the Sweet Home papers can look when you combine the different patterns. I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw this layout’s photo on my computer monitor…the Buttercup patterned paper has a “hidden” design – the white rings that look like the Indian Corn Blue pattern paper! Let’s look at a close-up of the Buttercup paper…
In person, I see the blue circles and flowers - interesting isn’t it?
This week’s pattern comes to us from the CTMH Cherish how-to book and is the Balanced Blocks pattern on page 104. If you like using page maps or page sketches…or, if you’ve never tried them and would like to, email me and I’ll send you a few PDF files from the different CTMH how-to books to try.
I can easily see this layout used for baby boy photos, heritage photos – imagine sepia photos on this layout, yummy! This would be wonderful for showcasing a beautiful spring day, Easter photos and so many others. What photos do YOU see used on this layout?
Here’s a close-up of the stamped flower…
I stamped the flower in Indian Corn Blue, then used the concentric circles and stamped that in the center using Buttercup and finished it off by adding one of the White Daisy flower brads from the White Daisy Mini-Medley Collection.
Have fun playing with this layout. I’d love to see what you create!
