Getting Back to School

Well we might not be back to school yet, but I'm warming up to the idea by doing a couple LO's with the 'Emporium' pp we will be using for Sept. Club night with my CTMH ladies...it's getting me back into the swing of things. It is definitely a challenge to Scrap older photos...especially prior to being a Scrapbooker. I am continueing to work a little at a time on my three kids' Elementary and Middle school albums...hopefully I'll finish them before they all graduate!

I have loads of paper left in September's WOTG kit and my goal is to use it all up!

Here's the finished layout for Club that I did using some photos from the arrival of my newest niece, Sadie and a couple bonus LO's I've done so far in an effort to get school albums up to date...

Enjoy your day!

Memory Workshop Scrapbook Co.

I was asked to be the Guest Designer for the Memory Workshop's September kit. The Memory Workshop Scrapbook Company specializes in big events...all day crops, fundraising crops and weekend retreats. In addition to that they offer a wonderful monthly kit club - The Page Builders Club. Each months kit includes cardstock, patterned paper and an assortment of embellishments as well as a tool of some sort. Check out Sandra's site, I'm a big fan and kit club member myself! Here's a sneak at a couple of the layouts I did for her...

Have a great day!

Let's Get Busy!

Getting back into the swing of things...that's my goal! As much as I had good intentions of doing some serious catching up with my scrapbooking over the summer break, I fell seriously short...I'm making up for lost time. I have been busy playing with some of the new paper lines that CTMH has in the Autumn/Winter catalog...lots of sneak peeks yet to come.

Here is a tiny peek of some of the extra projects I've completed using the Emporium Paper that we will be working with for the September Hostess Clubs...I am endeavoring to use up as much of the kit as I can. I have to say that I am lovin' the 'Heartfelt Whimsy' felt die-cut sheets.

Don't forget to pull out that sewing machine everyone...it is a great way to add texture and dimension to your pages.

Have a fantastic day!

CTMH 'Sneak Peek'

Well check out my pile of loot! Time to do a little playing with these two new paper lines 'Jingle' and 'Twitterpated' and of course the eight new stamp sets I had to get! I hope to get some pics up with what I've played with soon! Sorry the colour isn't the greatest, evening time. I have to say pictures don't do these new paper lines justice...I can hardly wait to start working with this new Christmas line 'Jingle' and the felt and dimensional elements look fantastic!

October's Workshop Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peek of the 'Twitterpated' paper pack that CTMH has just released. I really like the paper and love the fact that they are offering an Exclusive B-size stamp set only through the Workshop program. I can't wait to get my hands on this paper and get creating some cards just like these ones! Hopefully these recipes in the Workshop Guide will help me on my way with more cards...I seem to hit a brick wall when it comes to Cardmaking...thank goodness for CTMH's new Cardmaking Workshop kits!

New Catalog Release!

As an Independant Consultant for Close to my Heart, I am really excited about the new format to the CTMH catalog and the designs they have created to accompany all of their fantastic paper collections and accessories! Check out my site for the complete catalog before you get your hands on one of your own...a little teaser! I have of course, for those that know me, got a wish list already tabulated and am planning on ordering it all! I have hopes to have it in my Hot Little Hands by the time my first Clubs start in September...hopefully by the time of my August Class...stay tuned!

Now while we are in the mood for sneek peeks, here is the layout for October's Club working with CTMH's Twitterpated paper collection...
