April Hearts of the West Blog Hop - Confetti Wishes

Welcome to the Hearts of the West team blog hop!

If this is your first time joining us you will love it. It features Close to my hearts Consultants from all over Canada showing you their projects. The hearts of the west team was founded by Nancy Klein.

This months challenge is Confetti Wishes paper pack, brought to you by the new Annual Inspirations, hand picked from Nancy Klein.




If you came from Chelsey's Blog then you're in the right place, this is a go around blog hop so you can start anywhere! Just in case, the full list will be at the bottom. So, as always, grab your coffee, tea, water, relax, and hop around the team with us.


I love CTMH's wonderful paper, it lends itself so well to so many themes. Confetti Wishes  is no exception, it is a birthday themed kit. . . or is it!! :) With its bright colours there are lots of fun possibilities.Well, as most of know I have been trying to finish scrapbooking our last trip to Disneyland,  so I decided to use the bright colours in this paper pack would make another great Disney layout.

I used Magic,one of CTMH's wonderful how to books, as a starting point or my layout.

Here is what I created: (Warning Lots of Photos!!)

I love the simplistic style of this layout, but it holds a few surprises. The little dolls are from a paper that I purchased in Disneyland and trimmed to create the borders on my layout.

 The ribbon on this layout is a May Arts white ribbon that I coloured with my Shin Han markers to match.

These cuties I enlarged, hand traced and then coloured with my Shin Han markers.

 

This sunny guy, is a re-creation of the sun inside the ride.

This Photo is more than what it seems. . . it is a Tag mini album - to hold the many pictures my 9 year old took on the multiple times through the ride.

 

I hope that you like my project for this month.
