Old Pattern New Spin

I've been a little under the weather so to say. So here's my first post in a little while, but now I'm on the up swing and ready to create. This is for a future workshop I'll be hosting. (Details to come). I can't take credit for the template it's from CTMH. Actually it's from the April 2007 Workshop on the Go. It was fun to create with our new line. This project uses the new Twitterpated line from Close To My Heart and the Many Thanks stamp set. This cute card box holds 12 3x3 coordinating cards. All products are CTMH.

This workshop creates 12 3x3 cards (2 of 6 designs) and this adorable card box to hold them in. Crop attendees in Oct. will be able to make this for an additional cost.

Grace Workshop on the Go Cards...

Here are the cards I promised from the Grace Workshop on the go. I love how they turned out. It was wonderful have the step by step instructions to work from. It's great to know that from one pack of paper you can get all of these cards (it makes 6, two of each design), the two page layout and so much more. The exclusive stampset is so versatile. I don't know if you noticed or not but each of the card uses one design... they are just so uniquely different.

I've also added a simple 3x3 card I made just for fun. The stamped image is from a breathtaking new stampset called Childhood Portrait. I couldn't wait to use it. I think this week I'll be using it on some layouts... hummm the possibilities.

Grace Workshop project for Sept.

Here's a sneak peek of the new Grace Workshop on the Go from CTMH. I just love how it turned out. It was perfect for these photos of my son at just 9 days old. This is the project my hostess club will be completing in Sept. Close To My Heart has added great value to the WOTG program, now you can get a exclusive stamp set included in the kit along with a great accent like the edge anchors used on these pages. But the bonus is that you also get the step by step instructions for 6 cards using the same paper pack, stamp set, and embelishments. It's an awesome deal. I'll post the cards in just a bit.

Card Box

I challenged the ladies in my Hostess Rewards Club to create a card using a template from Jeanette Lynton's Originals book. They did fabulous. I'll get photos of the cards and post them. The winner received 6 of the cards seen posted in slide show, and they were packaged in this cute box.

The template for this box came from Lisa Stenz. We're going to make this box and another at my upcoming extravaganza. If you'd like to participate please RSVP by emailing me or posting here. The Extravaganza will be on Sept. 19th from 2-5pm. More details to come.

16 cards from Wishes

Just a quick post before heading to bed. This is a super simple workshop from Jeanette Lynton's newest book called Wishes. It's a great resource for cards. It's got step by step directions for each card along with lots of variety of the same sketch. This set I created using Emporium and a variety of CTMH stamps (too many to list, you can email me if you'd like to know about a particular one). I kept this simple due to time issues (such as not having much of it). This workshop makes 16 cards 2 of 8 designs.

You can find this workshop on page 111.

Twitterpated Swap Spoiler

This is a sneak peak at a swap I'm participating in. This is using the new Twitterpated Level 2 Paper Pack from CTMH. I just love how it turned out. It's an acrylic 4x6 frame (from the dollar store) I've attached a 2010 calendar on the front (using Moments in time Previous SOTM) The tree branch is from Aspiration. I did paint the small branch and stamped it on the Sweat Leaf cardstock. This pattern is from the new Wishes book. I hope you like it and better yet I hope those swapping with me love it.

Everything but the calendar and the ribbon on inside the slit of the frame, I attached the ribbon with my Xyron to the frame and the calendar is glued down with glue dots.
