End of August! Big things coming for September

I've been out of the blogging office for the summer due to my son breaking his leg.  I have worked on some cards and decorative items when I had some free time.

August with Close To My Heart has been fun!  There is new paper, embellishments, stamps and the big lead up to the new catalog/idea book next month :-)

The stamp of the month for August is Framed S1508.  

Recommended Blocks:

1" × 3 1/2" (Y1002)

2" × 3 1/2" (Y1009)

For the card below, I used the Framed stamp set plus Picture My Life cards, color ready ribbon and green enamel & glitter duos.

For this card I used the new CTMH Artistry Cricut cartridge, the Framed stamp set, glitter paper and our NEW Zoe paper pack along with more green glitter triangles.

Holy scraps, the end of 2014 is here!

Yes, 2014 has flown by and here comes 2015.  A new year for the start of many amazing new things!  I have some new clubs and activities planned.  Here is a list of what January has in store for all of you.  All dates and prices will be posted by January 1st.  After that, I will post the dates and costs the second week of the month for the following month's get together.  

Creative Colorado Card Club

Jump right in with getting 10 cards done a month, 2 cards of 5 different designs and one central theme, for example Valentines Day.   Each month I will feature one theme and then post the cards to show off what you will be making.  You will not have to live in my town to participate.  I can mail out your card club package to your home.  There will be options to purchase additional items to create a 2 page scrapbook layout.  The directions for the cards will be provided.

Picture My Life Scrapbooking Meet Up

Once a month we will meet, either at my house or a different location, depending on how many folks want to participate.  Picture My Life scrapbooking is scrapbooking in a snap!  It is a quick and easy program where you can choose from 15 amazing double-sided cards in 3" x 4" and 4" x 6" horizontal and vertical designs.  The cardstock-weight cards feature journaling spaces, sentiments, or a variety of icons.  I will have all of the sets available for you to purchase by the card.  You can buy as many as you would like!  I will also have 12" x 12" albums (both post and 3 ring) available to pre-purchase and I will have the My Creations Mini Book, both in kraft and black colors, available to purchase to the meet up.  This scrapbooking program is FUN and designed to help quickly organize your precious photos.

Creative Corner Classes

Meetings will be one evening a month.  Get together to create a craft that isn't anything like what you may be used to!  We will be cutting out vinyl with my Cricut to create one of a kind crafts.  You will create birthday boxes, treat bags, wall art and many other neat designs.

I can't wait to get the new year started!
