I am so excited to finally share with you my Christmas Card Workshop to be held on 2 different dates. Thursday, October 26 from 6:30-9:30pm and Sunday, October 29 from 2-5pm. This workshop makes 12 cards total (2 each of 6 designs), with an option to make 24 cards all using the new Prince of Peace stamp set (D1734). I really love this stamp set because each image is stamped with Memento Ink and then lightly colored or Heat Embossed to add that pop. The next 2 cards have fun folded trees that I found on Pinterest.  If you can’t make it to the class simply order a kit and I’ll include instructions with cutting diagrams and all of your images stamped ( not colored ). Thursday, October 26 from 6:30-9:30pm OR Sunday, October 29 from 2-5pm   Cost is $30 to make 12 cards total. Add a 2nd set for just $15.     Register by Wednesday, October 11th If you can't make it to the workshop, I can put a kit together for you.  Add $5 if shipping applies and $5 for a stamped k...

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...
