This month my clubs created the Seaside WOTG pages.  These are so pretty and the feature layout in the kit uses the Artbooking cricut Cartridge.   I've got lots of pictures that will go perfectly on these pages - I just need to sit down and get them printed! Here are the layouts we completed --  pictures shown are from the brochures: I love the compliments that go with this paper so I had to create another layout using the matching stickease.   The layout sketch is from Make It From Your Heart Vol 2 - Sketch #08.   Instead of using small pictures in the 2x2 spaces, I filled them with stickease - using foam tape to give added dimension.  Aqua Dots give the layout finishing touches.

More Free To Be Me art!   This 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card was created using Sketch #20 from Make It From Your Heart Vol. 2. and the Owls stampset (B1450).  I used the Gold Resist Cardstock as the base and the feather vellum overlay over one of the pattern papers. "Hello" is cut from one of the Free To Be Me paper zip strips.   Woodgrain Washi (Z1930) and Aqua Dots (Z1853) complete the card. Just 2 weeks left to get your Free To Be Me paper pack at $5 when you spend $50! Start shopping HERE!

A few weeks ago I shared an Artbooking layout I created using the new Lollydoodle paper and some of the coordinating stickease. If you missed it, you can see that layout HERE .  I had several pieces of stickease left so I created another layout using paper I had left from the Lollydoodle Workshop On The Go kit.  I wanted to share that layout today.  This is one of the Layouts that my Hostess Clubs will create. This layout sketch is adapted from the Make It From You Heart Vol. 2 -  Sketch # 2.  I used the FIT TO PAGE key to cut the large flower using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.     I fell in love with these Lollydoodle owls!  I used nearly all the stickease I had left and added lots of Pink Flamingo Dot accents around the page.  One of my very favorite CTMH go to items is our Foam Tape (Z1151).  I used alot of it to pop up the various pieces of stickease.   It really adds dimension and looks great when y...

I needed a door prize for my Girl's Night Out Event last night so I grabbed one of my little Petite Perk stamps, A Touche of Fall, and created a card.  I wanted to give away the card along with the stamp so that the winner would have a little inspiration for creating something with their new stamp. With the help of Close to My Heart's Make It From Your Heart Vol 2 sketch book I was able to create this card in just 30 minutes!  I recommend ALL of our How To books for anyone that loves sketches for inspiration! Our Petite Perks can't be purchased.  These are special little stamps available to consultants.  As I told the girl's last night - "You have to know ME to get this cute little set!"  I usually give these away at events or parties. Here is my card that the winner got along with a brand new Petite Perk.  Recipe: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Colonial White Card Value Pack (X1410) Make It From Your Heart Sketch #19 (9042) Huntington Paper (X7174B) ...

Here is another You Are My Happy card to share!  This time I used the gift stamp.  This image is on the Art Philosophy cartridge so I was able to cut it out and then stamp it!  I actually cut and stamped it twice. Once in Sunset and once in Slate ink.  Then I cut out the slate ribbon and adhered it to my Sunset package! The little flowers are also on the Art Philosophy cartridge as well.   The Slate pattern paper is from the Babycakes paper pack Recipe: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Colonial White Card Make It From Your Heart Vol. 2 (9042) Babycakes Paper (X7173B) Slate Bakers Twine - Baker's Twine Neutral Assortment (Z1701) Slate Mini Medley Accents - (Z1787) Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (Z1686) Don't forget this National Stamping Month special is going on during the month of September Purchase $50 in Close to My Heart products and you get this exclusive  set of THREE D-size stamps for just $10!

I'm taking a short little vacation with my hubby over this upcoming long Labor Day Weekend.  It's been quite a summer and we really never got any kind of vacation time in.  So we decided to take a little trip to Asheville, North Carolina.  It's a place I've always wanted to go but never took the time!  So off we go! But while I'm gone, I wanted to share another Hostess Only Stamp set that any Hostess can choose with rewards from a book party or gathering.  There are 7 Hostess Only stamp sets and the best part about these are that Hostess can get them at a reduced rate!  What a deal! For this card I used The Party Is On  set (only $8.00 for Hostess) and of course one of my favorite paper packs this season - Sarita . The sketch design is from our new Make It From Your Heart Vol 2. Recipe: Make It From Your Heart Vol. 2 (9042) White Daisy Envelopes and Cards Valu Pack (X1410) Sarita Paper (X7171B) Gypsy Cardstock (X5757) The Pa...

Ready for another sneak peek?  Today I'm sharing a card I created with the new Frosted Paper pack (X7175B) . For this card I used Pattern #29 from the new Make It From Your Heart Volume 2 (9042) .   The stamp is Classy Doily (B1424) .  This stamp coordinates with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge (Z790)  for perfect stamping and no fussy cutting!  I stamped the image three times cutting portions of the doily out so that I could layer them.  I used Sky and Indian Corn Blue Alcohol markers to color the snowflake.   Blush  adds just a bit of color to the top star.  For extra shimmer I added Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel (Z1313) .   "Merry Christmas" is from the set Holiday Tags (D1560) You can see this card and more at my Open House on Saturday, August 10 from 9am - 1pm! Be sure to stop by for a FREE Make & Take. OPEN HOUSE INFO: Saturday August 10  9am to 1 pm (stop by anytime!) 2722 Lascassas Pike Murfreesboro, T...

Whew!  What a start to August!  Have you had a chance to look through the Idea Book?  I can't STOP looking at it.   My Open House is coming up August 10 and I've been busy creating something with each new paper pack.  If you are local to me be sure to stop by!  There will be lots to see! (And alot a Cash and Carry Clearance items!) Today I'm introducing Huntington   (X7174B) !  This is a wonder fall paper that will work great for any Autumn event. The colors and prints work well with masculine cards and pages too! I used Pattern #22 from the new Make It From Your Heart Volume 2 (9042) .   I 'lifted' the design from a card created by the artists at Close to My Heart but my version is a little more blinged up.  I just LOVE the new accessories in this book.  My ribbon is the new Bronze Shimmer Trim (Z1849) .  Run, don't walk to order this one right away!  It goes with so much and the adhesive back makes it easy to a...
