Beach party days have finally arrived!

Finding time to craft has been super difficult since we started caring for my little nephew- full time work, my two kids and a wee baby means busy, busy, busy!! I was able to sneak in enough time to scrapbook a fun summer memory from last year at the beach just down the road from where we live (we spend a lot of time there in the summer). This fun memory was scrapbooked using a sketch from @alisondavis4sg (check her out on Instagram) and brought to life as part of the 30 days of sketches series 9 held by Christy Harriman (#bestof30dscbl to see more of these fun pages). I have LOVED crafting with these sketches when I can!

The colours and patterns of this paper are perfect for the lake, ocean, pool or vacation pages (and I am sure there are MANY more options). I have just started to play and cannot wait to see what else I can scrapbook… if I get time LOL.

One of my favorite features of this sketch is the photo array on the far side- you can size this up or down but it is a GREAT option for when you have lots of photos that you want to include on a page.

Let me know what you think about this new paper below in the comments!

(and I almost forgot to add- you can get your hands on this paper starting July 1st over on my SHOP!)

Slimline Celebration- all the ‘adorableness’ you could want!!

Absolutely this is a set that I have thoroughly enjoyed having!!! I know I will return to this one again and again. The images are adorable and fun and they allow me to colour- something I find very relaxing. These stamps and thin cuts are part of our current special- Slimline Celebration. You can purchase the pieces as a bundle and save some money OR you can purchase just the items you want.

Just look at the cute things you can make!!! They even work well on scrapbook pages.

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
