Save the date--Saturday October 13th from 10am-noon, so you can plan to come to my mini album workshop.  You can make one or all of these cute albums for only $10.00 each.  You have four new paper packs to choose from:  Pear & Partridge, La Belle Vie, Dakota and Scholastic.  All papers will be precut for you to make it easy to quickly put these together.  Hope to see you there!!

 This is the front of the Pear & Partridge paper pack album.  The middle of the wreath was left blank so you can add a saying or a date.

Hard to believe tomorrow is October already--where does the time go?  The October classes will be held on the 6th, 7th and 8th, so make plans to come and create these great projects!!  These cute gift bags were made using the new cricut cartridge Artiste (exclusively from Close To My Heart) and the October stamp of the month: Very Merry Christmas  S1210.

It is always fun to create a fall card and using the stamp set Fall Harvest (C1504) you will design your own.

3x3 cards are a fun card to make and have on hand for that special bag or gift you have for someone.  The base of the cards were made with the Artiste cartridge also.  This fun stamp set is the Petite perks (available only through a CTMH consultant).

This month the 2-page layout will feature the Clementine WOTG paper pack and our new burlap ribbon. 

September Class Projects

Classes in September are just around the corner and with a new Idea Book out, new paper packs will be featured in our class projects.  We always do a card/project with the stamp of the month, a layout using one of the WOTG (workshops on the go) and with the new cricut cartridge "Artiste" I will add fun projects from there.  Check out the fun items we will be making in September--you won't want to miss making these!!

This is the September SOTM and check out this fun card using the Clementine paper.  It folds up nicely to fit into a standard envelop, but is great to display on your table--who wouldn't love getting this in the mail!!

                                                                   
For the month of September you can order this stamp set--It's Your Day-- for only $5 with a qualifying purchase (spend a minimum of $35 in product).  In September you will make one of these cute 3x3 cards using the Avonlea paper pack.

The new Ariste cricut cartridge from CTMH has so many new 3D items and this month we will be making this fun coffin gift box you can fill with goodies to give to that special "ghoul" in your life.

Using the Moonlight WOTG kit and stamp set we will make this fun 2 page layout--just in time to add those Halloween pictures you are sure to take!!

Cruise Earner!!

The Close To My Heart Convention in Dallas was awesome as usual and all the new product was a big hit.  CTMH has added some decor products and the new catalog has a new look and feel to it.  I had a very successful open house on August 4th and everyone who attended got to take home their own slice of the cake (made with our new cricut cartridge 'Artiste').  Check out these pictures of some of our new projects you can complete with a little time and imagination.

These are some of the cakes made with the new Artiste cartridge that was a big hit!

The new WOTG Advent calendar (you need the new Artiste cartridge to make the boxes)

The new display trays are wonderful and oh the possibilities!!

This is my beautiful granddaughter Tatum framed in our new bracket frame.  The flowers were made using both cartridges we now offer.

This fun star is decorated using our new Dakota paper and pearl flourishes.

How fun are these new 3x3x3 blocks!  The possibilities are endless as far as design.  I created this set with our new La Belle Vie paper, chipboard letter and added black tulle ribbon.

These cute coffin boxes made with the Moonlight paper will be one of the projects we make at our September cardclub classes.
