Heart and Home

As I looked at the shopping section a few days ago, I realized how many Carol Halm Creatables are among my favorites. I love her style and she seems to be able to read my mind as to what I want and need for the particular thing I’m creating at the moment.

Let’s begin with Heart and Home, one of my favorites. How many of us have moved and lived with boxes before and after the event until we think we will be happy if we never see another box?

This little packed-full-to-the-brim collection gives us a fun way to document our move, or create cards to celebrate (or sympathize for the trauma) someone else’s move.





Project 1: We’ve Moved Card
    Using Heart and Home by Carol Halm.
  1. I added images to my 8.5 x 11 page, layering them to create a little scene.
  2. I added the little heart upside down because the page will be folded and that will be the bottom of the back.
  3. I added the words and then beveled them.
  4. I added shadows to each item.

Project 2: A Moving Experience
    Just a fun page to start off your album celebrating a moving experience.
  1. Using the green map as my background, I added other images from Heart and Home.
  2. I created a mat, used an edge effect to make the mat stand out and also applied some highlights with the dodge and burn tool.
  3. I wrote a simple little verse but this is where you can write your own journaling.
  4. I added some shadows to the various images.

Project 5: Friendship Card
    Who wouldn’t love to get this card from her Sprinkle a Little Love collection?
  1. Add your image to the right hand side of 8 x 10 page.
  2. Print and fold to create card.
  3. Add verse to inside of card by sending it back through the printer (following your printer instructions for double sided printing) or on a fresh paper to be placed inside and attached.

There you go, maybe these ideas will keep you busy for a minute or two, but if you get bored, please listen to me on the Diva Craft Lounge interview on Blog Talk Radio, Wednesday, 27 May at noon Pacific when I talk about my classroom books which you can find right here. I want folks to know that Board Smartz makes an especially good gift for teachers or homeschoolers.

See you next month!

Hugs,
Thena
