Annual Inspirations New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to the Annual Inspirations New product Blog Hop! This hop will feature original artwork from talented CTMH consultants using brand new products from the 2016-2017 Annual Inspirations Idea Book.

If you've arrived from { Lauren Moore's blog } you are on the right track! For a complete list of hoppers please visit Melinda's blog { HERE }. Now, on to the project!

When Paper Fundamentals was first introduced last year it changed my scrapbooking for the better. The kits just make it easy and quick to create beautiful layouts. Don't get me wrong, our other papers are beautiful too, but it's something about the simplicity of the patterns that just draws me in.

 So, when I first saw the new Rustic Home Fundamentals kit I KNEW I just had to have it. It goes perfectly with my family hiking photos don't you think? And, because I needed just a hint of bling I added the new Sea Glass Glitter paper. It's such a pretty shade! I actually think my daughter wants to repaint her bedroom with it!

 For embellishments I stuck to the All Together Complements, popping them up with 3D Foam tape for added interest and dimension.

Thanks for checking out my project. I hope it inspires you to create something using the new Paper Fundamentals line. Please continue on to { Wendy Kessler's blog } for more new product inspiration. If you would like to see all of the products available in the new Annual Inspirations Idea Book please contact your local CTMH Consultant or visit my website { HERE }.

Stay crafty,

Watercolor Blog Hop

Welcome to the Watercolor Blog Hop! Today approximately 30 CTMH consultants will be showcasing different ways to use watercolor paints and pencils in their projects. If you've arrived from  { Helen Gullett's } blog you are on the right track. For a complete list of hoppers please visit Melinda's post { HERE }

I love how bold watercolors can look on a scrapbook layout so today I made one featuring my daughter and me. Her love of rainbows and bright colors was the inspiration for the focal piece of the layout! 

To create it I started out with an 8.5" x 8.5" piece of watercolor paper and lightly drew diagonal lines from the right side of the page 3" from the bottom. I wasn't too careful to stay within the lines and overlapped the colors adding more water here and there to lighten and blend between shades. That's kind of the beauty of watercoloring...it can be as fine and soft or bold and graphic. I think this layout fits somewhere in between!


Thanks for checking out my project! Please continue on to { Vickie ODell's } blog to see what she's created. To purchase any of the products used on this layout please contact your CTMH Consultant or visit my webpage, www.michellebattitori.ctmh.com.
