I created this layout using my scraps from the paper fundamentals workshop you receive when purchasing this months special.

I love the bright colours and I thought they would be perfect for photos of our Disney World Trip.  

Here are my take on the workshop layouts.  I added more photos on a few,or changed the size to fit my needs.  I love how this paper makes your photos pop.

I added a red gem to make him look like Rudolf.  The next card I created in craft-room (I know I am old school).  The new font on Artistry is awesome.  I am going to try a few more like this, Inspired by Lisa Stenz.

I used a combination of stamps from all three sets to make these cards.

This Card features the new urban paper pack and some saffron card stock.  I stamped the sentiment in pigment ink to make it pop.  I used the ink blob stamp set from the new annual inspirations to add some detail to the Blue B&T paper, I stamped both with black and saffron pigment ink.  This card is for my sons 8th birthday.

This card I heat embossed the sentiment "Oh Hey" then stamped the flag with our new Eggplant exclusive ink and the thanks sentiment in Black exclusive ink. I used our dimensional tape to make the sentiment stand out.   The paper seen here is a mix of the old and the new paper fundamentals.

Here are a few of the products I used,  you can find all the products used on my shopping site createbythelake.ctmh.com
