Timberline Workshop

I am back again with my second post. On Friday night, after I tucked the kidlets into bed, I had time to play in my craft room. I was able to get all the cricut cuts made, plus 2 layouts finished before going to bed that night. I tend to be a bit fussy, and a true perfectionist to the core, so I was proud that I got that much finished. 

Recipe:
Paper: Timberline, Lagoon CS, Twilight CS, Goldrush CS, Chocolate CS, Bamboo CS, Colonial White CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Timberline WOTG (CTMH)
Inks: Goldrush, Ponderosa Pine, Chocolate, Lagoon (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Sponge Daubers, Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (CTMH)
Other: Glue Dots, Foam Tape, Lagoon Brads (retired), Chocolate Brads (retired), Bamboo Brads (retired), Timberline Complements, Timberline Assortment, Irresistables Dimensional Elements (CTMH)

I didn't stray much from the workshop guide or Jeanette Lynton's suggested artwork samples. When something works, why change it? I knew these layouts would be perfect for many camping trips pictures that I have yet to scrap. I am in love with this paper! I especially like it paired with the Twilight Cardstock. If you'd like to order your very own Timberline kit or accessories, please visit my Scrappinbliss Website.

EMS Sketch #55 Timberline Layout

I LOVE PINTEREST! I don't know how I did without it, and I'd definitely go through serious withdrawals if it went away. 

For my next project, I was inspired by a sketch I found through Pinterest. Cheryl E. created a great sketch complete with dimensions. I am linking it up with her sketch at Even More Scrapping. You will have until the end of the month to play along, too, if you like.

Recipe:
Paper: Timberline, Bamboo CS, Colonial White CS, Goldrush CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Catch U Later, Shining Star (retired) (CTMH)
Inks: Goldrush, Lagoon, Ponderosa Pine (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Sponge (CTMH), Circle Stax Dies (MFT)
Other: Irresistables Dimensional Elements, Timberline Complements, Lagoon Mini-Medley Assortment (retired), Chocolate Brads (retired), Colonial White Brads (retired) (CTMH)

I need to get some pictures printed off so I can add this layout to my son's album. This sketch is intended to make those pictures pop. Isn't that Timberline paper gorgeous?! You can purchase your very own from my Scrappinbliss Website.

Have a happy day!

Color Dare #86 Masculine Cards

I have exciting news to share with you. Color My Heart has asked me to be a Guest Designer this week. I am deeply honored and have the utmost respect for these weekly designers as they continue to inspire others. As you can see from the picture below, the colors that you must use are Ponderosa Pine, New England Ivy and Goldrush.

I decided to create 2 cards using this color combination because, quite frankly, they are not my typical go-to colors and it can be a struggle to come up with masculine card designs. But that's the beauty of this challenge; to challenge us to use color combinations we wouldn't typically think up on our own. You are welcome to incorporate neutral colors into your design.

Recipe: (All products by CTMH)
Paper: Timberline, Sarita, Flirty (retired), Bamboo CS, Chocolate CS, Colonial White CS 
Stamps: Chantilly Card WOTG (retired), Camper Crazy, Catch U Later, Card Chatter-Sympathy (retired)
Inks: New England Ivy, Chocolate, Goldrush
Tools: Blending Pen, Heat Gun, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Paper-Piercer, New England Ivy Marker, Whisper Alcohol Marker
Other: New England Ivy brads (retired), Bamboo brads (retired), Chocolate Embroidery Floss (retired)

I encourage you to participate in this challenge. Thank you for stopping by. Have a fun-filled, crafty weekend!

CMCC#9 Camper Crazy Card

Teehee. I love this next card. Camper Cozy makes me feel happy. I love using our alcohol markers to color it in. I really like this color combo from Colour Me.

Recipe:
Paper: Timberline, White Daisy CS, Black CS, Cranberry CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Card Chatter-Sympathy (retired), Camper Crazy (CTMH)
Ink: Black (VersaFine)
Tools: Chicken Wire Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Clear-Detail Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Crystal Blue Alcohol Marker Set, Whisper Alcohol Marker Set, Cranberry Marker (retired) (CTMH)
Other: Bitty Sparkles, Teal Shimmer Ribbon (CTMH)

I used an old sketch from The Paper Players, but thought it was perfect for this card. The shimmer ribbon looks like astro-turf (sp?) and the grey woodgrain paper looks like it could be a dirt road. Such fun!

I'm so ready for summer....

MOJO334 Timberline Card

I've been missing in action for a few days. Illness has been a revolving door in our home for a couple of weeks, and I thought I might escape it unscathed this year. No such luck. But today, my energy started coming back and I was able to play in my craft room again.

When I saw this next sketch from Mojo Monday, I knew I wanted to use Timberline. I'm having a hard time working with other paper packs right now when I love Timberline and Lollydoodle so much.

Recipe:
Paper: Timberline, White Daisy CS, Twilight CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Card Chatter - Sympathy (retired), Camper Cozy (CTMH)
Inks: Topiary Pigment, Lagoon Pigment (CTMH), Black (Versa Fine)
Tools: Scallop Circle Die (Spellbinders), Circle Stax Die (MFT), Chicken Wire Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Paper-Piercer, Crystal Blue Alcohol Marker Set, Honey Alcohol Marker Set, Whisper Alcohol Marker Set, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Lagoon Brads (retired) (CTMH)

I made this 8.5 x 4 size to fit the tall and skinny challenge, but also so it would fit nicely in a #10 business envelope, which as a bookkeeper, I have a few hanging around. LOL

I did some paper-piecing with the little camper. I wish I could use this adorable stamp set all the time; it's that cute.

Stay healthy and warm, and especially crafty, my friends.

MOJO329 Timberline Birthday Card

Good morning. I am sharing a sneak peek at the new Timberline paper that will be available beginning February 1st exclusively to Close To My Heart.

If you're anything like me, you find it a little difficult to create masculine cards. I went back and forth on this particular card a couple of times...should I add ribbon, or leave it as is. I decided that for this card, ribbon would just be too feminine. 

Recipe:
Paper: Timberline, White Daisy CS, Slate CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Perfect Fit - Birthday, Cricut Artiste Kudos (CTMH)
Inks: Slate, Lagoon (CTMH)
Tools: Circle Die Stax (MFT), Chicken Wire Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, 1 1/4" Circle Punch (CTMH)
Other: Lagoon Brads (retired) (CTMH)

Thank you, Mojo Monday, for another great sketch!
