Creating A Book Wreath!
Welcome!  Recently I received a request to create a 'Book Wreath' for a treasured client.  Of course, I loved the opportunity to think outside of the box, design and create! 💝 

 This exciting opportunity came about when she saw my Grateful Wreath on-line. 💖  She wanted her wreath made with books, and without flowers or words, but similar in size to my Grateful Wreath.  😊
With my design in mind, it was time to create!  After cutting and scoring all of the leaves, I gave them a light folding at the score line to add additional dimension.  Their veins were drawn in using the Shimmer Brushes. Some of my leaves were cut apart while adhering with Liquid Glass to the Wood Ring Base.  


Liquid Glass was used for adhering all of the components to the wreath base.  It was also used as an embellishment providing the glossy, protective coating for the books.   

 After stamping and coloring the stacks of books images, I fussy cut around them.   They were also brushed with the Liquid Glass.  
Other than a 16" round wooden base purchased in the floral department of the local craft store, everything else is from my Consultant site, PapercraftingWithGayle.ctmh.com.

 Here's what I used!
A quick FIY, my Cricut affiliate link is available here on the sidebar, and is always available via PapercraftingWithGayle.ctmh.com.  Not only exclusive Close to My Heart Product, but all Cricut products are available through my link.  Your support is greatly appreciated!

Heritage Layouts  


Welcome!  I'm so glad you are here!  For whatever reason, this particular photo in my layout, had been quietly residing in my box of wedding proofs.  We don't recall why it didn't make it into our 'official' wedding album, nearly 40 years ago, yet we love it, and maybe it just needed this layout!  💖

 I will include this layout and a companion page featuring my husband and me with each of our parents from our wedding.  These will then be placed at the end of an album I'm creating using photos of my parents and my husband's early years. .  Hopefully we can also locate some early ones of our grandparents, a true Family Heritage Album. 😊 💝

For these particular pages, I simply used the 'Cut Above' kit in the March Craft With Heart Scrapbooking Subscription.  Each kit creates two, 2-page layouts based on the Yesterday & Today collection.  Gather your pics, and each layout is completed in about 15 minutes!  Woot!  


Base pages, stickers, die cuts, memory protectors, and directions are all included!  Seriously, these pages are super quick to put together!  Just add your pics and a bit of the all important journaling!  Sweet!💝 

 Make as shown in directions, or tweak to fit your style and needs, as I did here! 

 Although these layouts were created using the Craft With Heart Subscription, the thrill of culling through and deciding on specific papers and embellishments for specific photos, is exciting!  

 The Yesterday & Today Creative Collection is perfect for such treasured photos! Here are just some of the components available. 💖 

 Our photos speak to us in many ways.  Over the last few years, we've seen so many new  developments with the phones we carry in our pockets, and pics are snapped on a regular basis.  Contrast that to even a dozen or so years ago, and we needed to have a camera with us to capture life around us. Please take them out of the box or print them for albums!  You and yours will treasure them!  💖
Remember, each month you are able to purchase a beautiful, exclusive Stamp of the Month for only $5, regularly $18.95 with qualifying purchase.  Here is the timely "Family Legacy" set for March.  It is sure to be a beautiful accent to your cards and layouts.
