Cutting into Bloom with Grace!

 

Enjoying some quiet “me time” in my craft room this afternoon. Just finished cutting and sorting all the papers I’ll be using to create the featured scrapbooking workshop kit for September...BLOOM WITH GRACE! This color combination is just so stunning and perfect for Fall, feminine, family, outdoor, or anytime-themed photos. Can you spot the NEW color Desert Rose?! Follow me on IG and FB to see my completed pages...coming soon! Local customers, I still offer the extra service (option) of pre-cutting and sorting your paper for you at no additional cost, which saves you valuable time, simply because I love what I do and I appreciate you so much! #ctmhscrapbooking #ctmhbloomwithgrace #letmeshowyouhow #stampwithjencreativefriends

My November Class Creations!

 So, the month of November has just been flying by
and I realized that I hadn't yet been able to share any
of the artwork I created for my November "Frame It Up"
Scrapbooking Class and my November Card Classes!
So here they are...enjoy!!

 This single 12x12 Fall page design was inspired by the Annual Inspirations Idea Book (page 118).  The papers I used were some of the leftover retired papers I had in my stash (Pathfinding and Flirty).  All of the stamps I used and most of the cuts were made using the Cricut Artistry collection (fall images on page 44).  The wreath was cut from Olive cardstock at 10.75".  The Desert Sand leaves (dry embossed and sanded) were cut at 3".  The Goldrush (Flirty patterned paper) and Chocolate leaf pieces were cut at 2.75".  Lastly, the acorns and acorn caps were cut from the Cricut Art Philosophy collection (page 36) at 1" and 1.25" from Desert Sand and Chocolate cardstock.  Ink colors I used include Chocolate, Desert Sand, and Glacier.

...and here are the four card designs

(below) that I offered for Card Class!

These cards use the White Pines 

and Sangria paper collections...

Happy Fall and Thanksgiving everyone!!

October 20th and 27th Flirty Workshop!

First of all, I apologize that this post is so late and long over-due. We had a computer virus that caused me to lose a lot of the photos I had taken of our upcoming projects, and it really messed things up for me this month. The only upside to having that issue is that it forced us to finally get a new home computer that I now absolutely LOVE!!

Since I'm so late promoting it on my blog this month, 

I'm offering you two different dates for you to join us

for this month's workshop featuring the "Flirty" kit! 

A few of you who pre-ordered your kit recently (Jackie and Jessi) will have yours in time for our Workshop date this Saturday, October 20th (1pm to 5pm). If you haven't had a chance to pre-order yours yet though, there's still time and I can have yours ready for you to use on Saturday, October 27th (1pm to 5pm), so it's not too late to plan to join us if you can. I will also be offering a "Holiday Banner" workshop on that same Saturday, October 27th...so you can expect to see more photos and details about that posted here on my blog next.

The full "Flirty" kit is $35 

pre-paid by Oct 20th

to create 2 layouts and 6 cards 

(includes stamp set for you to keep).

The basic "Flirty" kit is $25

pre-paid by Oct 20th

to create 2 layouts and 6 cards

(includes use of my stamps).

The "Flirty" CARDS ONLY kit is 

 $5 for a set of 3 (or 2 of each, total of 6 for $10) 

If you would like to make the "cards only"

I will have them pre-cut and ready for you to stamp, assemble, and embellish (please RSVP early, but you can pay for them the day you attend).

If you already have a kit from a previous workshop that you'd like to finish using, feel free to bring it and/or any other projects you'd like to work on with us! Remember to bring a potluck dish to share along with your completed projects from the last workshop to show off to us so I can give you extra tickets for our prize drawings!
