Recipe Box with Sophia

This is June's Workshop Project. I'm so excited about it. I copied this cute idea from page 9 of the current Idea Book from Close To My Heart.

Sophia Level 2 paper packs turns this z13222 My Creations Recipe/Photo Box into a really cute gift. I used the D1470 Dreams Come True and Celebrate Everyday Stampset.

Teacher Thank You Gift Bag's

The packaging of a gift is just as important as the gift and can be the most fun to create. Here are two white gift bags I decorated for T's teacher's gifts. I used the retired Zipdee level 2 paper pack. You're Sweet, Comments, Believe Alphabet, and Card Chatter stamp sets. The Ink is Dutch Blue and Cranberry. The crayon is from a Child's Year Circut cartridge. I think these turned out really cute. I was inspired by a card on Jeanette Lynton's blog.

Leadershare projects

This was one of the creative things we made a Leadershare. I had not made one of these before, but this was so fun it's now this month's workshop project. This is the new Irristables alphabet and Villa. The paper is from the Mayberry Level 2 Paper Pack. The cube is the my creations cube. This makes a great gift. This card I created as a quick thank you during some of our free crop time. It uses the May stamp of the month and a goodie but oldie paper paper pack.

Happy Mother's Day

With this most important day just around the corner I thought I'd share the cards I've made for my mom's. I used the stampset Grown with love, A little Everything, and Sans alphabet from Close To My Heart. The baber is from Twitterpatted and caboodle. I hope you have a very speical mother's day!

Leadershare 2011

What a great weekend to spend at the most beautiful beaches in the world! Friday night Jennifer Johnson and I headed to Navarre, FL for Close To My Heart's Leader Share event. We were there with 75 of our Scattered Hearts team members and some of our esteemed friends from Corporate. Talk about a fun filled weekend. Tina Sutton and Close to My Heart really know how to so us a good time. We cropped, created wonderful new layouts, a 3-d My creations cube, and learned so much. I'll show you some artwork asap.

Studio J rocks

It was great to get 3 2page layouts done in a 2 hour span this weekend. Studio J is fabulous and just what it promises. Faster, simpler, and easier. You can try it for free on my close to my heart website. But to get the most out of it for less purchase a membership. You'll have access to more layout options, pay less for printing (even less then where you already get your prints) and you'll have exclusive paper kits from CTMH to choose from. Want to know more?
