This card was a quick put together and I thought it was super cheeky for some of my friends or family that are getting a little older!

I grabbed this sketch too...which was a life saver seeing as I was super busy this week and this sketch made me just cut my paper and GO!

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to get creative using some of the designs, products and techniques seen along the way.

Hello!

I have successfully landed back on earth! 

The life changing events of the last year have taken their toll on my creative life and blogging to say the least...BUT I'm happy to say I see the tides changing and my blog life returning!

I have been knee deep in boxes and sorting and purging and unpacking...but I have also been getting crafty at work (Cherry Lane Scrapbook Shoppe) 

and with my Close To My Heart business as well!

There are so many new products out there and I'm really loving the new stuff that Close To My Heart has just released in our new Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog!

I'll be playing with our newest Calypso and Magical paper collections and our fantastic new Workshops Your Way format which features a complete paper collection with some cardstock, a full complements embellishment pack and a couple of great extra accessories which of course compliment each collection beautifully :) You can see below the Calypso WYW kit which also includes two rolls of fun washi tape and a full package of sequins!!!

Why not head Back to School too!

Hello my Scrappy friends!

Are you feeling left out now that your kids are on their way back to school? Why not join them in some Back-to-School scrapbooking and cardmaking classes of your own!??

For September's Workshops I am featuring our newest paper collection 'Typeset' for just this occasion:

Workshops on the Go™ Typeset Kit Contents

Typeset Level 2 Paper PacketMy Acrylix® 

Typeset Workshop Stamp Set (C-size)

Milepost Shapes

Create-a-Shade® Pearl Paint

Workshop Guide

Featured Colors: Desert Sand, Juniper, Creme Brulee

Follow the included step-by-step instructions to create the two-page layout featured in the workshop guide. The layout pattern is a Jeanette Lynton original created exclusively for this workshop. Then use your remaining materials and online tips to create an additional layout and a bonus project, shown in the guide.

and these are the Bonus cards:

The bonus project, five Art Philosophy cards, requires the following additional items (not included in the workshop kit):

1 – Dark Neutral Cardstock Shade Pack (X5912)

1 – Wooden Designer Buttons (Z1387)

Add this workshop kit plus the additional items for the bonus project to your shopping list and create three great projects—it's an excellent value!

Some basic tools you may already have, such as inks, stamp blocks, or how-to books are needed to complete these projects. The Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge is also required (Cricut® Art Philosophy Collection Z1686). 

If you are attending one of my Workshops in person...these tools are available for you to use.

CLICK on over to my Workshop info tab for more information or email me to find out how these Workshops can 'work' for you!

Close To My Heart has shipped their Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book's and I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the first Workshop Projects that I will be featuring when our Workshops start up again in September! This paper collection is called 'Typeset' and I am loving the look of this first layout!

There are so many new things to tell you about with CTMH so I'll just start giving you bits and pieces...you'll notice the corrugated shapes for one...they are included in this Workshop On The Go kit.

The MAJOR change is the Level 2 paper packs...they have changed all their patterned paper or background & textures paper or B&T duos we call it at CTMH... to a heavier cardstock-weight! 

Which I am actually really thrilled about! The second major change to the Level 2 paper packs is that they are including 6 - 12"x12" B&T Duos (2 each of 3 doubled-sided designs) and 6 - 12"x12" Cardstock Sheets...for $10.95... so for those of you regular Level 2 purchasers, you'll have noticed that they have 6 instead of 12 sheets of B&T duos and 6 instead of 10 Cardstock sheets...you'll also notice that the price has gone from $14.95 down to 10.95...

I am actually happy with those changes as I know I will actually use up ALL my paper packs! Right now as I prepare for all the new products coming my way...I am trying to use up my CTMH stash...some paper packs I still have from 4-6 sheets of B&T duos papers left! Which isn't always a good thing when you are like me and want to play with something new!

Here's the second layout:

and these are the optional* projects that you can complete with this Workshop kit

Note: optional* projects will often require additional products, in this case you will need to add: 

1 – Dark Neutral Cardstock Shade Pack (X5912)

1 – Wooden Designer Buttons (Z1387)
