In This Together- perfect pandemic paper!

We have all had some time to make some very special memories- ones that we hope to look back on someday and remember… maybe you will remember the blessings that came out of your time at home with family, maybe you will remember the crazy things you had to do to keep safe…there are things you WILL want to remember.

CTMH released a special paper collection this month that is SOOOOOOO fantastic! The colours, the patterns, the stickers and the optional stamp set are all just so perfect. These pieces can be used in cardmaking as well but I just could not resist completing some more of pandemic memories for my album.

On my first page, I used a stencil that I created with a die-cut- I actually make a process video for this layout and you can view it on my YouTube channel here.  It is a fun technique and one that I will use again. My second page was inspired by the Creative Scrapbooking Magazine’s monthly sketch. I used my Cricut to cut out the title and backed it with another shade of cardstock. The stickers in the paper collection worked perfectly with this particular page (and really- who hasn’t done some major binge-watching during the last year?)

My third page used the Doodled Borders stamp of the Month.   The borders added fun designs on my cardstock and helped to frame out the main part of my layout. The speech bubbles are one of my favourite parts of this page- they are all hand cut out of one of the sheets of paper.

What special memories would you scrapbook with this paper?

Making Memories- Covid Style!

Well, this year has been a doozy- and I don’t even need to explain why because everyone has felt it in some way. In Ontario, we have started our second province-wide lockdown in the hopes of curbing the trajectory of this illness. This means the holidays are a little more quiet and relaxed AND it means more time for making memories with my family and spending some quality time in my new craft space.

On my table today? I plan to work on more of my Pandemic album and use our fantastic exclusive stamps to add that special touch. Have you seen these? They were released earlier in the year and have been brought back for just this week during our Boxing Week Sale. So fun!

All of these (and so much more) are available on my website at braemontgomery.ctmh.com
