Choices or “Scrapbooking on steroids”!  Next month you have 2 choices for your scrapbook pages, the Cats & Bats collection OR the Falling for You collection OR BOTH!!   It’s your choice. First, let’s take a look at the Cats & Bats collection . Close to My Heart asked consultant Noreen Petty to create a workshop that can be used by other consultants in their business. I narrowed it down to my 3 favorite layouts to use for October’s Scrapbook Club . I really like the layout above because it shows how versatile this collection is and that it’s not just for Halloween. So as I mentioned you can choose to create the Cats & Bats collection OR you can create with the Falling for You collection . As I usually do when we create with 2 paper collections in one month, we use the same patterns for each layout.  So you can see the layout above matches the first layout pictured from Cats & Bats.  So if you choose to create with both collections you simply cut 2 s...

I recently attended a team event in which 2 of my fellow consultants shared 3 cards featuring the new Falling for You and Cats & Bats paper packs and stamp sets. Little did they know – these cards would become my next workshop. Thursday, September 28 from 6:30-9:30pm. I was so excited to learn how to create a wiper card and couldn’t wait to use the new Cats & Bats Cardmaking stamp set (Z4040) with coordinating thin cuts. How cute is that?  The cat pops up when you “pull” each side.  So much fun! This stamp set doesn’t have to be for just Halloween either.  This sunburst card is much easier than it appears and is great for using up scraps.   This is the new Falling for You Cardmaking stamp set that has a coordinating thin cut (Z4041). This last card is called a Double Diamond fold.  Who thinks of this?  Such a fun, new idea. Thursday, September 28 from 6:30-9:30pm Cost is $25 to make 10 cards total.   Register by Wednesday, September 13th I...

These are the 4 layouts that we will make at September’s Scrapbook Club on Thursday, September 14 at 6:30pm Sunday, September 17 at 2pm This layout was created for the Seasonal Expressions launch event that CTMH held for consultants back in March.  So you won’t find the instructions in the Workshops Your Way guide.

So I am super behind on blogging and advertising my upcoming Card club, but I wanted to at least have it archived here so we could refer back to it. This class is unfortunately sold out at this time, but will be held on  Thursday, August 31 from 6:30-9:30pm. One of the highlights of this class is the pop-up box card.  This is not a new concept as I followed the directions from this web page . This card folds completely flat and fits inside a standard envelope.  This is a new stamp set called Sending Prayers (B1563 ).  I really love the font as well as the sentiments and it looks awesome embossed with Gold embossing powder.  All of the flowers in this workshop were cut from the Flower Market cartridge. This sentiment is from one of my favorite newest stamp set called Southern Sass (C1687). The “inside” of this heart is filled with ribbon from the new Basics Ribbon Pack (Z3364). I just love this sentiment and flower cut from our new 2-toned cardstock. Again, sorry...
