new product and a new sketch!

Good Morning!

I've got a great little sketch and some fantastic new product to showcase from CLOSE TO MY HEART! It's called Later Sk8r and it's great!

I have to confess I went a little off track from the sketch, but I just had to cut those gears out of our Artiste Cricut cartridge...

You can see the new ribbon in Outdoor Denim, love it! and some more of those great epoxy stickers!

Remember those!??? I have more than I want to admit, but those CTMH chipboard letters are my mission this year...use them up!!! I left them naked, I was going to stamp on them, then I was going to splatter paint on them...and finally I thought I'd just leave them alone!!!

 Here's the sketch this week at Let's Scrap...lots of possibilities!

And I thought you might enjoy looking at some of the new Later Sk8r paper coming for purchase effective February 1st!!! 

Contact me for your Close To My Heart Spring/Summer 2013 catalog today!!!

Thanks for stopping in today!

I'm off to BC Crop 4 Kids...

Instructions written (should've started that task a couple weeks ago!) and copied (phew)...kits all cut and packed (phew) and I might even get some sleep in before I go...or not!

I am just remembering that I should pack some stuff to do while I'm there too...I would like to do some scrapbooking myself, even though I'm super excited and nervous about my two classes...I always think I like my layouts but it is also always a little scary wondering how everyone else will like them!??

I am super duper excited to be staying at the hotel, even though I live close and of course, getting to stay up late, chit chat with my scrappy sisters and create!

Here's some sneak peeks of my Close To My Heart class on Sunday...I'm so glad I got my wooden shapes when I did as we sold out of them and they aren't being reordered! 

lots of fun bright colours in these Footloose papers...they were definitely my favourite papers of this summer!

I have two other layouts, a single and a double that I still have to take photos of! I forgot to take one of the Bonus single I created from the left over bits...and a couple hours ago, I decided to make some changes to another layout that I wasn't 100% pleased with...so an extra hour or two of Cricut cutting and re-stuffing kits (no problem) and at approximately 4:00AM, Friday, I think I'll get a couple hours of sleep and then pack some stuff for me to work on for when I'm not teaching classes :)

How's about a Sneaky Peek?

Hello!

I thought I'd send out some sneaks of the upcoming classes for this years BC Scrapbooking Crop for Kids in October.

This year I'm teaching a couple different classes but today I thought I'd share some pics of the class I'm teaching that I've sponsored with Close To My Heart papers and embellies.

We will be creating 2 doubled page layouts and 2 single paged layouts...but then after I created with the kit, I decided to add a Bonus single paged layout because I had some chipboard bits left and another layout was just minutes away :)

Here's the kit contents:

Now I can't show you the complete layouts until it's class time, but you might like to see a little of what we will be creating in class...

these chipboard sheets are fabulous...the embellies are the best quality I've seen

and these cork alphabets are my all time favourite CTMH embellie yet

Pennants and banners are so cool...I'm loving them and they add such great dimension and jazz to layouts :)

Well hopefully you have gotten a feel of the papers and embellies in this kit and hopefully we will see you there in October!
