CTMH "Urban" Australasian Blog Hop

Hi and welcome aboard this CTMH Australasian Blog Hop where we showcase the Urban paper collection. 

If you have arrived here from Lauren Moore of CTMH craftings then you are in the right place. If you are starting your Urban journey here, Welcome! You can join in the blog hop by simply reading through my post and once you get to the end just click on the link to the next blog. Keep reading and 'hopping' until you find yourself back to where you started from. Each of the 10 featured blogs will showcase a project staring the trendy Urban collection. 

With 2 young boys this paper collection is right up my alley so I had to create a scrapbook layout to show you. This page will be used in my DS2's album of his first 12 months. 

This layout was done based on pattern 6 from Make it From your Heart volume 2. I used the corrugated look papers from the Urban paper collection as my base for this page, ensuring I could see the graffiti watermarks at the bottom.  There is also a 1" strip of the blue urban B&T and the zip strips from the paper are used below the 'Awesome' title. 

Whisper cardstock was used as the solid colour base, with highlights of saffron at the sides. The photo mats are in Sapphire cardstock. To embellish the page I used stickers from the enchantment collection of Fundamentals stickers. 

I also created a Christmas Card which is part of my Christmas Card Buffet this month. The design was inspired from another CTMH Consultant, Dawn Montagano, and I adapted it using the Urban papers. 

All these cards use Urban B&T paper and white daisy 4.25" x 5.5"card/ envelope pack , as well as the following:  

Joy to the World: Slate cardstock, Slate exclusive ink, whisper thick twine, Christ is Born stamp c1629 and sequins silver assortment.

And below, two male birthday cards.
