Come Join the CTMH Regatta!

This month I have been playing with the Regatta paper collection from Close To My Heart. I tweaked the workshop kit a bit by adding a few extra sheets of white cardstock to use as backgrounds instead of the pattern paper. This allowed me to make an extra single page layout and make several more pocket pages. I still have more paper leftover to make even more pocket pages this week. 

I also added in some cards from the Picture My Life collection called Love Your Selfie. It matches very well with Regatta. This layout is going to be my title page for my Nangor Resort album so I will add an end date under the "2011" when it is completed (hopefully we will continue to go for many years!) Alphabet stamps used here are Framework and Handwritten Print. I also added gold sequins to my layouts which are not included in the workshop kit.

I also used the Ink Blot stamp set on the edges of the background cardstock

This is a layout from the workshop kit but I changed the background paper to the white cardstock. I wanted to use my Ink Blot stamp set in this layout and I love the way it turned out.

A 4x6 flip flap was used to add more pictures

This layout is almost exactly like the workshop kit except for some of the embellishment clusters and the gold sequins. 

I used one of the cut apart cards from the kit instead of a picture so I could use the Hit the Road stamp set. 

This layout is exactly like the workshop kit except for the background paper. I loved this ombre paper so much I had to use it on this layout and I am extremely happy with the results. 

The following pocket pages document a three day trip to our favourite summer resort with friends. I also used the PML Love Your Selfie cards here. "Capture the Details" title was cut out on the CTMH circut cartridge Artbooking.

"You and Me" and "fun & sun" title were also cut on Artbooking circut cartridge. 

"You've captured my heart" stamp set is from the April stamp of the month "Life in Pictures"

"endless summer" and "paradise" cut out on Arbooking cartridge. Camp Rules photo was printed from Pinterest

"Smiles" cut out on Artbooking cartridge

Here is the second sketch for September sketch challenges at 2 Broke Girls Scraps. Remember to post your sketch on the blog for a chance to win a prize!

Here is my take on the sketch:

For this layout I used a variety of papers including Maggie Holmes, Amy Tangerine and DCWV (Michaels). I cut out the cute circle on my new CTMH Art Booking cartridge. The grey letter stickers are from American Crafts.
