More Fundamental Frame Fun!

I might have mentioned how I adore the CTMH Fundamentals line of patterned papers from Close to My Heart...because I use them for everything!

I recently used another pattern to frame a photo--you can see my first one HERE.  This time I chose a favorite from the Uptown Fundamentals.

Oh how I ADORE this photo!!!  It is my all time favorite from November 2, 2016 when my Cubbies won the World Series!!!  I cannot get enough of this one.  The words on the pattern paper go perfectly with how I feel about the entire 2016 baseball season...enjoy...play...love...fun...joy...be happy!

Here it is hanging on my entryway gallery wall!

I can't wait to frame some more! 

Chicago Cubs Fan Celebrates 100!

Oh my goodness, this is such an incredible post to make.  It was absolutely my pleasure to be asked to make this card for a fellow Cubbies fan...and not just any fan--a fan for her 100 years of living life!!!

I used my Cricut Explore to create a Cubs cut file pretty easily by using a chunky font.  Then I realized how fun it would be to incorporate the Cubs logo style "C" into the birthday sentiment!  It worked brilliantly!  The Sapphire striped paper from the Close to My Heart Enchantment Fundamentals was a great paper to use for this design, as well as the Red Shimmer Trim and Blue Enamel Dots.

I used a retired sentiment stamp that coordinated nicely stamped in the front and inside in Sapphire Ink.  100 candles should get her any wish her heart desires, don't you think...and I bet she wished for another Cubs World Series Win!!!!!  :)

Die Cuts on Gift Bags

Sooooooo...back to that baby shower around Thanksgiving (yeah, lol, I know.)  I posted a little bitty preview of this project on my Facebook Page, so if you want to see what I'm working on in the moment, head on over and follow me there...

I was able to snag some plain white and kraft gift bags on clearance once, so any time I have a gift to wrap, those are what I grab for first.  Then I figure out a way to embellish it!

This one was super easy to transform for two of the biggest Cubbies fans (with a new one on the way) I know!  I die cut some baby onesies with a die from MFT and used some circle punches to create the Cubs logo...DON"T forget the shimmer trim on those cute clothespins!  ;)

Isn't the heart ribbon just the PERFECT addition?

Close to My Heart has a sale going on all month while supplies last on their line of  Thin Cuts Dies so check them out over on my website soon!  They are the perfect addition to any project!  :)

And, yes, I did get that baby his very own Cubs merch, lol!  ;)

Only during March

Chicago Cubs Mini Album with CTMH Instalife!

Did you see the start of my Chicago Cubs Mini Album that I shared before Christmas? 

I know!  It was a long time ago, so HERE is the link if you want to go see before I show you more...

NOW, here is MORE!!!!  I am having an absolute blast reliving the moments from the past few months...

While the "W" flag surely deserves its very own page in the album, I have a little something to show you about this page...

...it's really a flip-book of sorts that I created with the 2x2 flip flaps!

This last page shows the amazing little gold foil overlays you can add to these pages...

This title card comes in the #life Enjoy Cards...

I just love this collage page I created using the 2x2 photos printed on my Canon Selphy...

I can add some hidden journaling under the flip flap!

No. Commentary. Needed.  (swooooon!)

Now, I ran out of 2x2 pages and only had the 4x4 available.  I laid these pics out as I will place them in the 2x2 protectors when I get my hands on them again...

Kris Bryant anyone?  I know!!!

So if you made it with me this far, you just might want to be creating an album like this for yourself or that Cubbies fan you know and love!  You can pick up most of these products at a HUGELY reduced price for the rest of December while they last, RIGHT HERE, so get on it!!!  :)  Just choose the Blue Jean Mini Album Bundle.  You can also add the #life Enjoy Gold Overlays that I used!  :)
