Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak of one of the fun goodies you can check out if you come to my Christmas Tag Workshop on December 5 from 6-8!  I used the Sparkle and Shine paper pack and the new Santa Claus  stamp set to make a cute box that I plan to use for a gift this year.  Making your own gift boxes and tags really helps to show how much you care.  Let me know by the end of November if you can make it to the tag workshop so I can have your supplies ready.  The cost is $5 for 10 tags or FREE if you place an order of $25 or more in November or December.  Hope to see you there!

You light up my life...

When I saw the November stamp of the month I absolutely loved the little lamps for making cards and it had some sayings I liked as well.  When I saw these old pictures of Eva with the sparkle and shine paper I knew I had to use it on a layout!!!  Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful thanksgiving with the loves in your life!!!

Products used can all be found on my website.  The November Stamp of the Month is only available through the end of this month...Happy Shopping!!!

Artbooking Made Easy: Cross-Cartridge Collaboration (S01E11)

In love with cricut artbooking cartridge

So I am in love with the Cricut Artbooking cartridge.  This is the third of the Close to my Heart cartridges and it might be my favorite one yet.  The reason I love it so much is that it really has some awesome features to help make scrapbooking pages quickly and easily...and they look really cool!

If you are like me, you are way behind on scrapbooking your precious pictures.  I was just printing pictures from a few days after Eva was born and I don't even have one book finished for her.  (Stay tuned for more information about the new Picture My Life scrapbooking line from Close to My Heart, which is going to feature another awesome way to incorporate quick scrapbook pages for your pictures)  I used the Cricut Artbooking cartridge and the "Together" layout to create these two pages.  The best thing is that I used some leftover paper and embellishments and I think it turned out great.  What do you think?

Holiday Gift Guide is here!!!

The Holiday Gift Guide is finally here and it is full of some really cute things.  Some are only available "while supplies last," so make sure that you order soon to get all of your favorites.  There is also a special, now through December 31st, where if you spend $100 on any CTMH products, you can choose one free star item from the guide.  I love the Sparkle & Shine Paper Packet and I can't wait to make some cute pages of Eva and Jack with Santa.  Here is a card that I love that my mom made with some of the Sparkle & Shine Washi Tape.  How easy and fun...I can't wait to scraplift that for my own.  Happy scrapping and let me know if you would like to place an order or have a party!!!
