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!

Stamps + Cricut= a cake fit for a princess

I used my cricut expression to cut out this banner, then I stamped it with a retired stampset called Confetti & Favors along with the number 4 from the Chocolate Alphabet small in Crystal Blue ink. I think it was the finishing touch that really made this cake for my dear daughter special. I love to think outside the layout with my stamps, paper, and cricut!

Thank you gift with Olivia and Nov. stamp of the month

I've got just a second and wanted to share these cute gift jars I created last night for today's teacher appreciation luncheon at my daughter's school. The image below is not that clear because I was in a rush to take it. But I think you can get the gist. I used Olivia, Barn Red textured card stock and the awesome Nov. stamp of the month. They turned out really cute. Everything is Close To My Heart. I did use my circut and a punch for the shapes.

My job was to decorate a table for the luncheon and I chose a fall theme and I think the paper went perfect. Hope you find some inspiration!

Happy Daddy Day

Here's a lift from this week's Color Me Monday from http://www.jeanettelynton.com/

I loved how she created a masculine card with the You Rock Stamp set and the current Stamp of the month. I used You Rock and Ticket to Ride to get the same effect, but I threw in some Outdoor Denim cardstock.

You Rock! Workshop This Tuesday night

I LOVED The single page layout on page 20 of the current Close To My Heart Idea book. I wanted to give it a go for my club. So here's my mock up minus the sewing (can't do that in such short workshop). I added the Winning Layout from page 114 of Cherish to accompany it. I think it works really well. It's rocking with this You Rock level 2 paper pack and the Star power Stamp Set. Everything is CTMH. I used the lower case Giggle alphabet stamps and a large capital S from our Dimensional Elements. The awesome new Rockin Top Coats and our white Daisy brads accent the layout very nicely. The large star is from Shining star, a very versatile stamp set. If you look close you'll see our gold embossing powder and our new Glitz glitter glue in Stardust. I can't wait to add my pictures.
