Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Day at my house!!!!!

9am-9pm

You bring your stuff to work on and I will have all of my tools and supplies out for you to use or purchase!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Stephanie Fox for winning the Personalized Mini Scrapbook!!!!!!! I will give you a call so that we can talk about what album you would like!

New pages!

Okay so they are not completely finished! I have to write Ben's Journaling, but I couldn't wait to show you how they turned out! This is the new kit that you can get through Close To My Heart for the month of May only! Don't Wait or you will miss it! There are so many possibilities with both the new "Flip Flaps" and the "Irresistables"!

Your one or two photo, simple layouts can have more than one photo on them without over whelming the page! Or you can have several flip flaps on the page so that you can showcase 9-12 full 4x6 photos on one page! An awesome idea for those occasions that you can't possibly cut back on the number of photos you want on the page. Check out this idea! A customer of mine has all of her father's World War II photos and memorabilia and wanted to show off his own handwritten descriptions on the backs of the photos. What better way to do that! She can slide in the photo and all you have to do is "Flip the Flap" to see the writing on the back! I can't wait to see her finished project!

The irresistables are white chipboard shapes that you ink in what ever color you want. "What is so special about that?" you ask. Everybody has chipboard! Well this chipboard "resists" the ink in certain places so that it leaves white accents on the leaves, flowers and butterflies! The kit also comes with matching Stickease that fit right on top of the chipboard so that you get even more depth and detail!

I love it!!!!!

Wow

I didn't know it had been so long since I have been on!

I finished this album with Michele a couple of weeks ago and wanted to get it posted for everyone to see! I love the way it turned out! We used the Silohouette collection of papers from Close To My Heart and some embellishments and a couple of sheets of paper from Micheals that Michele had picked up. I love the way the Pansy Purple Cardstock popped on top of the black, bamboo and colonial white patterns in the CTMH papers! Michele gave it to her cousin as a Bridal Shower gift, who loved it just as much as we did!

Okay here I am two months later! I have to say that I am not as good at the blog thing as I hoped to be. I have been very busy with work, kids and my crafting. I have created many of my mini chipboard albums and I also took on a project for the school. I created thank you gifts for the School Board members by making a 12x12 page of the kids at our school with of course embellishments and a Deretchin Thanks You title on all 7 of them! It was fun, but I am happy to be back to creating things for my business and family! I have added frames and bookmarks to my list of crafts that I am selling! One of the frames is shown above, it was a special order and when I made this one is when I decided to add them to my list. I love how it came out! The mini book is also a special order for a wonderful friend of mine. I love the colors and the stamp of the Dandelion Puff. It is one of my favorite new stamps!

I promise that I will be on again soon! I can't wait to show you the bookmarks that I am making! Check back soon!

Just the beginning...

Well here I go on another adventure! Scrapbooking has been a passion of mine for the past few years so why not make so money by doing what I love! I am starting slowly, making Mini Chipboard albums, selling them at craftshows and becoming a Close To My Heart consultant so that I can support my habit! Here I will post my newest projects for all to see! I will also let you know what kind of great deals you can get from CTMH each month.

I was in my first craft show this morning and sold 6 mini books and took one special order! Considering that I only took 8 books with me, I think I did pretty well!

My Close to My Heart Launch Party will be held on November 20th at 7pm! So save the date and be sure to come! We will have prizes, free make and take project and of course lots of chocolates and goodies to eat!
