September/October Catalog New Product Blog Hop

 

CTMH has two catalogues

#1)  Core Products  September 2021 - August 2022. It's found by scrolling down from the bi-monthly catalog.

#2) A bi-monthly CTMH Catalog September-October full of new products. This hop will show-case the new products from this newest bi-monthly catalog.

If you came here from Maureen T OSullivan's blog you are on the right path! The blog hop is a complete circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating CTMH Makers. HERE.

This month we have 14 CTMH Makers sharing their creations using products from our September-October CTMH Idea Book.  This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one!  Here we go!

It's so hard to decide what to create! Each paper pack has a coordinating digital collection and the one I used is called Pumpkin Spice Digital Art Collection X7272F found on page 7. 

I haven't used the digital library even though I have a lot of the collections.  Good intentions!  However, when I saw this layout I decided it would be great for some photos I have of our grandson. His due date was yesterday 9/16/2021, he decided he was ready for this world 5 weeks early and entered at 4 lbs.7oz. and after a month was already 6 lbs. 14 oz!! and so alert.!  I'm still working on printing the photos so will hopefully have them later tonight. 

I changed this page from two horizontal photos to switching the bottom into 2 square photos that is a better fit for photos I have. 

The colors I used are from the Pumpkin Spice coordinating Card-stock: Nectarine, Papaya, and Shortbread. I used New England Ivy for the leaves and photo-mats.  For each of the colors I used the lighter side except the "Hello" mat!   The Pumpkin Spice sticker sheet has the prefect sticker "Together We Make a Family".  It's been fun using the digital library.  They are easy to download and then just upload to your project!  

Updated layout 9/18 AM. I like these colors better!

I decided to switch up the colors to a more Baby Boy layout.

Glacier, Rosemary, Nectarine, and Shortbread. Printer still isn't cooperating with printing the photos, heading to Walgreens.

CTMH Technique Hop - "Make it Shine"

 

 

This month there are 9 CTMH Makers using any CTMH products in their artwork to create projects showcasing techniques that "make it shine". It will be interesting to see what each one creates.  This blog hop is a complete circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the artwork.   If you are coming from Maz Wood's blog you are on the right track. If you get lost, you can find the list on the bottom of Melissa's blog. 

Here we go! 

I love everything Rose Gold! I used the Rose Gold Foil patterns paper pack.  It already shines, and you can make it pop more with some color. I used watercolor pencils and the water brush. I didn't have the Rose Gold Glitter paper so used Mocha, a darker  contrast,  I cut apart the Embroidered Card Front stamp set to just stamp the circle (Oh! Yes, I did - works great!) and then covered it with the Circle Shaker Window thin cuts and added some more shine with the Rose Gold sequins!  For the wood flowers I inked them with a light coat of the Mocha ink then using VersaMark was able to clear emboss them for their SHINE!
