Wow, have we had some snow here this weekend! Early last week we were dealing with an icy storm, but we managed to squeeze in a morning viewing of Disney's newest movie "Frozen". Might I just say that we loved it, and it might just be a new family favorite. So, as my poor hubby cleared all of the snow from our driveway today, I was in the mood to pull out my CTMH Frosted paper. I started this card by creating a Kraft cardstock base. I then cut a piece of that beautifully subtle snowflake paper from our Frosted paper pack and embossed it using a new snowy folder I just picked up at AC Moore. Next came a strip of the blue Frosted paper. Then a whole bunch of stamping using the CTMH Classic Doily stamp set as well as the CTMH Snowflakes stamp set. And all of that stamping was done on shapes cut out on my CTMH Cricut cartridges Art Philosophy and Artiste. Some foam tape to pop up my images and some bling completes the look. I hope you like it!

Last week, I had the privilege to meet one of my CTMH customers in person - Kathy MacGuire. She was looking to purchase a retired Buzz and Bumble paper pack to make cards for a special gift. Kathy decided to take the trip to my house to pick up her paper so that she could begin right away on her gift. We live in a very mountainous ski resort town, but with MapQuest directions printed, Kathy set out. Unfortunately, the MQ directions were WRONG, and sent Kathy on an hour long tour of my town! I set out to meet her, and Kathy finally had her paper. It was such a pleasant surprise when I opened my email the next day and Kathy shared these beautiful cards with me. I loved her artwork so much, that I asked if I could share them with all of you. Aren't they pretty? Thank you Kathy!
I am officially Spellbound thanks to my CTMH Artbooking cartridge. I can't stop waking up at night with a new idea! Here is my most recent Artbooking inspired layout kit. Aren't the Artbooking Spider Web frames cute?
I did have a little help from my old friend, the CTMH Artiste cartridge, because after all, one CTMH cartridge is never enough! Here is a close up to show off some of the details.
I must admit, the layout was inspired by the extremely talented, Sassy Girl herself...Tonya Sheridan. I was so lucky to have worked with Tonya at the NJ Scrapbook Expo. She created the most amazing layouts using CTMH Laughing Lola paper and embellishments. Would you like your own pre-cut and pre-stamped Artbooking Spellbound kit?

For those who have purchased my Create and Take Layout Kits at the Somerset, NJ Scrapbook Expo, here are photos of the completed layouts for your reference while assembling. Feel free to ink up any edges and pop dot any of the elements that you so desire. Have fun!!!!
Remember that September Stamp of the Month set that I told you about yesterday? Poster Tidings? Mine arrived yesterday and I could not wait to create a fall themed card to share with you. I have seen ONE TOO MANY such cards made with the CTMH Huntington paper pack LOL!!! I wanted something different. I started with the Sarita paper pack instead, giving us Outdoor Denim and Goldrush papers you see here. Then I added a little Laughing Lola for an unexpected pop of purple. Some Rosewood bling and Bronze Shimmer tape complete the card.
It's that time of year again. The kiddos are off to school, and although that means that life is more hectic thanks to all of the activities, it also means a little free time to scrapbook. And to help YOU scrapbook those memories more quickly, I have put together a brand new kit. You will receive everything that you need to create this trendy layout made with the brand new CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge. All of the pieces right down to the little circles will be pre-cut and stamped for your convenience. You will need only your favorite adhesives and a very little bit of time to throw this layout together. A full colored photo will be included for reference during assembly.
Here is a close up of the details. You could easily toss the title aside, and change the entire look of this layout, it would easily adapt into a family layout. Quantities are limited so order yours today for only $11.95!

I love sketches, and the Mojo Monday challenges are so much fun. They provide a sketch or two each Monday, and you get to use your supplies using their sketch. Since I already had out my Surf's Up paper, I decided to use up some extra pieces to create this happy little 4.25" x 4.25" card. It literally came together in a matter of moments!
Happy Labor Day weekend everyone. How better than to end summer with yet another fun layout featuring CTMH Surf's Up? Although Surf's Up paper is still currently available for purchase, this layout features three different retired stamp sets. I love the way they all work in harmony to create this beautiful layout. I can't wait to scrapbook photographs of our family time at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon on this layout. (Yes, we are a family full of Disney fans here!) I have added the close up photo so that you may see the detail including the bling. Do you have summer photos yet to be scrapbooked? I have a limited number of these layouts available for sale for purchase by US customers. Virtually everything is prestamped and cut for your easy assembly. (Some slight "fussy" cutting of the waves and sun sign will be required for your creative pleasure!!!) Bling is included, you will only need adhesive and pop dots if desired.

I would love to share my very first Artbooking adventure with you. What is Artbooking you ask? Well, as explained in a post a few below this one, it is a brand new cartridge available only from your Close To My Heart consultant - me!!! Beyond that, it is a tool that will turn your scrapbook layouts, cards and papercrafting into true works of ART. You may purchase the Artbooking cartridge today by clicking HERE, and it will be mailed directly from Close To My Heart right to your home. So as promised, here is my Tropical Artbooking project featuring the beautiful CTMH Surf's Up paper pack.
My inspiration for this project came from the very talented Miss Gingerdots herself, Tina Sutton. I loved a layout that Tina had created, and I decided that I needed to copy her stamping around the background page, her choices of colors and CTMH paper. What is not to love about those palm trees that she created? I set out to create the left hand page on my own with her composition in mind. Here is the layout that I came up with.
And here is the right side layout that I created.
I love this layout! Thank you, Tina, for the inspiration.
I love this kit. Think ahead ladies - this workshop would make a great gift for any occasion including birthdays and holidays. It includes a 12x12 canvas, flourishes, sparkles, baker's twine, 2 - 12"x6" chipboard embellishments allowing you two different color palettes and themes and a very versatile C sized stamp set. It can be yours for half off during July, no other purchase necessary. You can even purchase more than one if you would like. This offer is while supplies last, so hurry to get your gifts (and maybe even one for yourself while you are at it...you deserve it!) before someone beats ya to it!
