The next display continued with "everyday life" but switched to windmills and farmhouses. The display included both the inside and outside of the house which is rather unique.
I made this layout during the CM Virtual Crop in June. You can see the sketch here. I used several papers in this layout. The denim blue is from a pack called Outdoor Blues. The plaid tan along the left and right sides are from some 10x12 CM paper (which tells you how old it is) and I don't remember the line. The inner stripes are from Painted Prairie (which seemed appropriate given the theme). The Painted Prairie paper is a special pack of just 6 sheets. CM makes them available to consultants 4 times a year. You can use them as incentives for your customers. Other decorations on this page are from the old "Day at the Farm" sticker pack from CM.
The next layout is more about the inside of the house. I liked the kitchen the best (as I usually do) and loved that this one included the canning jars. That brings back memories of helping my mom can tomatoes every summer.
I scraplifted this layout from an old CM blog post. While that blog page disappeared with the Old CM, I had pinned the image and understood the idea of using the tag punch to make the frill around a canning jar lid. The jar itself is just a rectangle of paper (this one from the old Earthy line) and a contrasting piece as the "label". The rim of the jar was a piece of a roll of decorative tape (the precursor to Washi tape) and I finally used it up! It really looks like a canning lid doesn't it? The gray doily was made using a special punch that will create circles with decorative edges. Two have been made so far--this one and a tulip border. They take 6" squares of paper and turn them into decorative mats. The "Home Cooking" and borders are from the Made with Love pack. Put all together, it's an historic kitchen from post to pictures!
