Hello! I’m so glad you stopped by today.
Welcome to the CTMH New Product Blog Hop! You may have come from Michelle’s blog. If not, no worries…you can continue in a circle. You’re sure to find lots of inspiration along the way so get comfy and enjoy the hop!
Today I’m sharing one of my favorite new products, the Craft with Heart scrapbook kit, which features the Sweet Girl collection for May. With every new catalog, there’s a new collection of layout kits for CTMH’s Craft With Heart subscription. I LOVE this subscription!!! ๐
As I’ve mentioned before, I love to scrapbook “from scratch,” but as a busy momma, I truly appreciate these pre-designed kits. They are my BONUS scrapbook layouts – layouts that I may not have gotten done otherwise. ๐ But they still include all the joy of playing with paper and creating something beautiful, plus the satisfaction of documenting your memories – in a fraction of the time!!
Process Video
One thing with pre-designed layouts is that they may not fit the exact sizes or orientations of your photos. Don’t fret! I change up my layouts with almost every kit and I’ll show you how I changed this one up in the process video. You can view it below or over on YouTube (be sure to subscribe while you’re there!) ๐
Here are come close-ups of the details. ๐บ

Scrapbook Layout as Intended
Here’s what the above layout was designed to look like. Very similar…but you can see I changed the placement of a lot of the embellishments and made my own title using my Cricut – all to work with my photos.
If you want to keep it as-is – go for it, or if you want to make changes – go for it! This is YOUR artwork and YOUR scrapbook. The great thing is you have options, so do what makes you happy and works best for you ๐
Up Next!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I have been loving our Craft with Heart kits! It totally helps me get some layouts completed. I love how you made it your own and I think that is so important to share.
Such a lovely layout using the Craft With Heart Kit! Enjoyed watching your process video too! Sweet blessings, Pamela
I like your idea for changing up the kits! Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks so much, Terry! Thanks for visiting ๐
Just love your ‘process videos’…they are so helpful. It’s also very helpful to show the difference between how the Kit Layouts are designed to be finished and how you can change it somewhat to fit your photos and needs…overcoming any hesitation about customizing these kits . You do a super job showing how to add touches that bring the bling to a layout. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Coelle! I so appreciate your feedback and am so glad you enjoy my videos ๐
Beautiful layout! I, too, have a hard time following the exact recipe. I love that we can put our own twist on these projects.
Yes!! Thanks so much ๐
Very beautiful layout! You did a fantastic job.
Thank you so much, Michelle!
