More Throwback Thursday Graduation Layouts

More celebration of Graduation season and Throwback Thursday...

in 2013 Tommy paper (still available on Studio J) came out in the perfect colors for my son's graduation!

Layout #8 from Make It From Your Heart Volume 1.
Info on how I used Flip Flaps to make the announcement interactive can be found on my Facebook page.
"Liberty" die cut from Artbooking.

Notice the color I added to the white cardstock using our Spray Pen? I  previously wrote a blog post about this technique.

"Sideline Surprise" layout from Imagine. This one can be a little complicated with the angled photos. You can always change them to squares. Mine got a bit busy so I used ribbon to separate the two photos on the left pages and highlighted the action with frame shapes on the right side.

Diplomas are just rolled paper tied with Baker's Twine.

"Simple Contrast" from Cherish. Flip Flips on both right side photos; instead of three, I have seven photos. This layout also includes paper from Lucky, and it too is available in Studio J.

"Contrasting Elements" from Cherish. 
Borders cut using Art Philosophy cartridge.

Flip Flaps on the photo and the program.

Wedding Projects #1

Our oldest son married his high school sweetheart last month. My next several posts will be the items I made for the wedding.

 THE INVITATION

The monogram for the belly band was cut, then printed and finally stamped. That was probably not the easiest way to do it, but I was conserving paper! ;-)

You may not be able to tell, but the printing is in Outdoor Denim! 

Yes, you can tell your printer to match CTMH colors!! (Ask me how.)

Colors are:  Sorbet, Outdoor Denim and Colonial White

The invitations were mailed in our 5x7 Colonial White envelopes.

The paper pack is Claire. It is retired but I had quite a bit left. Turns out it wasn't enough though. Much thanks to all of my fellow consultants who were willing to give up packs from their stash!!  (One of the many reasons I love this company!) For the scrapbook, I'll be using Studio J. Did you know there are YEARS of retired paper on Studio J?  Currently there are 125 kit options. And, next month (November 2014) the Constant Campaign is a Studio J special!!

Here's the inside. I printed the invitation and enclosures at home on Colonial White, 

then stamped the images in Outdoor Denim ink. I also edged the top enclosure in Sorbet.

Stamp Set:  Hello Tweety (retired)

The film strip on the left was cut using the Cricut Artbooking Collection.

Now, does anyone have any ideas for all of these leftover pieces?

Quite the production!
