CTMH Album Contest 2013 - Layout entries

I am going to feature the 5 layout that I entered in the Close To My Heart Album Contest 2013. The theme this year was to base the layouts on the word "Viva" which translates to "Live". I decided to make a family layout and then one layout for each person in my immediate family and a coordinating quote with the theme "live" in it. 

After the pictures below, I will also link a youtube video I made showing each of the layouts including close ups. Thank you so my for looking/watching. Be sure to follow my blog and subscribe to my youtube channel.

Prima Engraver - Happy 50th Birthday 5 step card

I made this card for a colleague at work who was celebrating his 50th birthday this year. 

I cracked open my Prima Engraver product that I have collected but not used yet. I loved 

how it came together. I have made a video tutorial on how I learned how to make this 

card for anyone who is interested at the end of this post.

Thanks for looking!

Here is the video and I would love if you follow me on youtube!

Chantilly Stair Step Card including video tutorial

I came across this style of card originally on the Magnolia-licious Facebook page. I could not wait to learn how to make one of my own.

For my card, I used the Close To My Heart Chantilly paperpack, coordinating chipboard pieces, sparkles and the stamp sets used were Fashionista and Happy thoughts.
