I set a challenge for myself at the beginning of the year to complete a layout every week.  I am combining it this week with the Stampers with an Attitude hop since I designed a layout using Regatta.  Here is my layout #12 using the Regatta paper.

Father's day ~ Regatta layout ~ CatScrapbooking.comI realized after I had completed my layout that it happened to be a father’s day layout, too bad it was couldn’t have been for Mother’s day.  At least it met one of the requirements :-).  Father's Day Layout detail ~ Regatta ~ CatScrapbooking.comHere is a detail of the left page.  I used the Perfect Fit Dad C1542 to work as my tittle and accent.  I was also able to incorporate the Enchantment Fundamentals Stickers into the layout too.

Welcome to this weeks Color My Heart Color Challenge!  This week for Color Dare #183 we are featuring  COTTON CANDY, SWEET LEAF, TOPIARY, GLACIER and WHITE DAISY.

Dolor Dare #185

I love the double stamp look and since Close to My Heart has quite a few I wanted to play around with one called Someone Special C1607.  These colors were perfect.

Zoe ~ Someone Special ~ Flowers ~ Color Dare 185n~ CatScrapbooking.com  I cut a frame from the Zoe hounds tooth paper. I used foam to pop it up like a Polaroid photo.  I stamped the flowers in Cotton Candy, the first stamp was second generation and the top was Cotton Candy.  I used Sweet Leaf and Topiary on the leaves but the Topiary is all that really showed.  I stamped the sentiment in White Daisy ink then added White embossing powder.

Full list of products used:

Just create a project (card, layout or other craft project) using this weeks colors.  Then link them to the Color My Heart Blog ~ Color Dare #185 or you can post them to the COLOR MY HEART FaceBook page.  For this Color Dare Challenge, you have until Thursday March 24, 2016 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time to submit your project.   We love to see your inspirations.

Featured Product Hop ~ Complements

March 16, 2016 by

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured product is Complements.  As you know for every paper pack there is a coordinating Complement pack.

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop. If you came here from MELISSA ROBINSON’s Blog then you are in the right place. Now on to my project:

Penelope ~ Just Because ~ Chicks ~ CatScrapbooking.comI have been admiring the curtain fold cards I have been seeing and decided to give it a try.  I used Penelope paper pack and complements. If you are interested in trying the curtain fold there are many tutorial out there and I still need to play around with the size.  I started with a 3″ by 7 3/4″ strip.  I started by making a tick mark on the right side 1 1/4″ down from the top along the short side and at 2 3/4″ in along bottom left side.  Then trim at an angle connecting the two tick marks.  I then scored starting at the left at 2 3/4″, 3 1/2″, 5″ and 6 1/8″.  This results in a 3″ by 3 3/4″ finished fold.

Here is the list of products used:

Thank you for checking out my project.  If you enjoyed my project please comment below as we love feedback! Next on our blog hop is KIM LOEWEN’s BLOG. Make sure to check out her amazing work featuring this same product.

See you on Wednesday April 6th as we will be featuring the Fundamental Stickers!
