Mother's Day

I know that it is not even Easter yet, but I am already thinking ahead to Mother's Day.  To me, Mothers are some of the most important people in the world!  I lost my Mom back in 2007 and OH how I miss her. So, for May hostess club we are going to celebrate our Mothers.  Here is a one page layout that I have designed for this most special occasion.

This is made with Sweetheart paper pack, spray pen, pearl paint and Tulip ink pad & re-inker.  Also used the Pennant and Polkadot Alphas.

April Club Layout and Gift Baskets!

I so enjoy "spoiling" the ladies who attend my monthly scrapping club!  These group of women are awesome!  They mean a lot to me, so every month I put a little surprise in their product order bags and then try to give them another little surprise at the day of our club meeting to show my appreciation to them.  Here is a picture of the layout we will be learning at club this month and also a picture of the gift baskets that I made for each lady.  Two of the eggs are filled with jelly beans and one egg has a special offer in it.  Each basket has a different offer, I don't know which ones are in which basket so it will be a surprise for all of us!

The layout was made from the Sophia paper pack lv 2.  I also added stamps from Beautiful Butterflies.  The baskets were also (for the most part) made from Sophia paper and I used the Jubilation stamp set.

I did run out of the Non-CTMH ribbon so I used our craft-color boarders and sponged them with Pear ink!

Spring Layout with Sophia

I have been working on the layout for my April club meeting.  I was inspired by the Sophia Workshop On The Go.  This layout is a slight variation of the additional layout available with the workshop.

Take A Picture!

For the longest time I struggled coming up with a design using the Wings Paper pack and the Take A Picture MyAcrilyx stamp set.  Thanks to Jeanette Lynton's wonderful How-To book, Cherish, I found the perfect layout for me.  Here are a few pictures how it turned out.

Pocket Cards--Easter

I made these cards and filled each with chocolate as a thank you to my wonderful customers.  Each customer will receive one of these cards with her order!  Thank you ladies for being so awesome!

March club layout

This is the layout the ladies in my club are going to make for March.  I am super excited to show them how to use the sponging technique on the stamp to get the look of the clover with a flourish attached.

Birthday Card for Granson

My beautiful Grandson is celebrating his 3rd birthday today! I made this card for him using Hooligans paper, Sunset ink, Pear ink, 2" scallop punch, 1.25 circle punch, Party Animal, For Every Occasion, and Polka Dot Alphabet stamp sets.

You're A Star thank you pockets

I made these cute little pockets for my club customers, I put in a piece of chocolate. Just a small way of saying thank you to my valued customers.  I have so much fun with these ladies, such an awesome group!

Here are a couple of pics from our first club meeting.

Organization?

I just started as a consultant with Close To My Heart at the end of September 2010. Previous to CTMH I had not EVER done scrapbooking or cardmaking, always wanted to but didn't think I was "creative" enough. Well, that has changed and I love what I do. Since I am basically brand new to CTMH I haven't collected a whole lot of product and I don't have a room where I am "set up". So, I transformed the coat closet into my storage area until I do have more product and a specified place to create, (right now it is the kitchen table). So, here is my closet. I have used a couple of old boxes to separate papers and store supplies. I also utilized a couple of baskets for embellishments etc...not much yet, but OH you wait!

Find Your Style and Olivia

My 16 year old daughter came to me this morning asking for help. She says that it is her boyfriend's mom's birthday today and she needs a card! Thanks for the last minute notice! So, I went through my stash and this is what I came up with! I used Find Your Style and Unity stamp sets, Olivia paper, and Sunset and Chocolate Inks. I hope she likes it!

By the way, I lifted the idea from another consultant, but I can't remember who at the moment. Just want to give credit where credit is due!

Welcome Banner

I wanted to create a welcome banner for my club group using the Wings Level 2 paper pack, Level 2 Wings My Stickease Assortment, and the January Stamp of the Month. I also use Exclusive Inks Juniper, Sweet Leaf, Vineyard Berry, and black.

You can see below what I finally came up with. Hope you enjoy it.
 P.S. I also covered the backs of each pennant so that it can be reversible, but I haven't finished that part yet!

Valentine's Day Card

I have my first club meeting coming up and wanted to do a Valentine's Day card. The card pictured is done using Lagoon Cardstock, magnifique paper, lagoon exclusive ink, and In My Heart stamp set. This card is just a mock-up for what we will be doing in class. For the Class we will be using Wings paper and Vineyard Berry Ink.

Wings Workshop On The Go



I just followed the instructions included with the workshop. Not exactly original but this is what I want to show at my clubs. I have also cut out all the papers for the six cards to make and have a ton of paper left over for the additional layout plus more! There is such great value in the Workshop On The Go. Totally worth the money you spend. Plus it is a great way to grow your stamp set collection! Hope you enjoy!

Here is a litte update with all 6 of the cards that can be made in addition to the layout. Instructions for the cards and layout come with the Workshop kit
