Skylark Cruises on the Paper Trail

Ooops, not the Buick Skylark! Although it is nice!
Welcome to the Paper Trail Blog hop.  You may be just getting started or you may have arrived from Connie's blog, Scraps & Stories. 

Either way, you are on the right trail.  We are a small circular hop and you will return to wherever you started.  Enjoy!

This month we are featuring the Close To My Heart Paper Pack, Skylark. I won't lie, it's my favorite pack in the new Idea Book.  These are my feel-good, happy colors!  Add birds and I am in heaven!

My two page layout for my March Scrap Class.  I've used the CTMH Cricut Artbooking cartridge in two ways.  The first cut was an overlay centered on the two pages with lovely pops of color in each honeycomb.  The second use was to cut a smaller overlay and use it as a stencil, sponging color onto the lower outer corners of the full layout.

Next is a My Creations Pennant Frame my daughter created using Skylark.  It was the perfect choice for my family photo.


For information about classes on these two projects, check my "Workshops Classes & Crops" tab above.

One of my new favorite Close To My Heart products is our Picture My Life programs for pocket scrapping.  The next photos are of the Skylark set, a perfect companion to my traditional pages!  





Now I must get back to my craft room as I hear the Skylark calling me back with his song.  You should hop on over to Karen's Inky Fingers blog for more Skylark inspiration.

    I really love your layout and your daughter's penant frame has me "almost" convinced to give it a try.

      Thank you, Diane. I love the honeycomb shape and the stencil idea just came out of the blue - I really liked it in the end, too.

    Great layout, Betsy!!! Love the honeycomb, which I've been eyeballing each time I pull out my Cricut. Love the colors and designs with the Skylark!!!

      Don't know what it is about honeycomb, but it is appealing!

    Wow! I'm inspired. I love the honeycomb patterns on the layout, and I think I may scraplift the frame design!
