Magic Layout #3

Yes, I know I'm late in getting this posted. I have been having camera issues and my hubby won't get the hint that I need a new one...

I'm still doing my honeymoon in Puerto Rico for the layouts. I did our trip to the Observatory - can you guess this was Rich's pick! lol It was actually very interesting. I used Emporium papers for the layout and Genuine Fun, Treetops and Classmate Alpha for the stamping.

October 26 Gift Workshop

I thought you might like a preview of one of the gifts you'll be making at the workshop. This candle is stamped with one of CTMH new Christmas stamp sets - "I believe". The other one is done with "Snow Days" and our glitter glue! Too Cute!!

Magic layout challenge week 2

This is the second layout in the Magic "How-To" book from CTMH. I had to rush because I forgot that I lent my book out and had to have another (thanks Pamela) send me pictures! I used the Unity and Fieldtrip stamp sets and Maginfique paper. Thanks for looking!

Magic Monday Layout #1- Parlor Trick

Even though these aren't the

best photos, the layouts turned

out very cool. I love the idea of

getting my pictures cropped and

trying out all of the layouts in

the Magic book!

Fun With Flowers

This months workshop has been one I have been wanting to do for so long! We will be having it on August 31 @ 6pm. If you would like to join us, please email me right away for information. I've taking a picture of only a sampling of the flowers we will be making.

Fair Fun!

The kids did really well showing their goats this week! We had our last show last night and we are all exhausted!
Grampy helped them hang all their ribbons on the "girls" pen.

August Stamp-a-palooza!!

I'm posting before class - it might just snow!! We are doing chalk-popping tonight and making a lil' post-it not holder with wings! Can't wait!!

Box of Note Cards

My wonderful Aunt Jess loves to send out cards....me on the other hand love to make them, then forget to send them. I thought she might like this box of notecards. I used Treasure Life stamp set, some Perfect Day B&T and assorted cardstock.

Animal Cookies Baby Album

I made this adorable 6x6 accordian album for my dear friend Sam and her new baby - Chase!

Dry Erase Workshop

What a fun time we had making the dry erase boards! The best part was - everyone did their own thing! We all helped eachother with ideas and color choices, which made the night a fun girls night! Didn't they do a great job?!?

Lil' gift bag - for any occasion!

Did you ever need a gift bag and didn't have one? This little

bag was made out of some cardstock (heavenly blue), some B&T (splendor), ribbon...OH - and paper lunch sack! The girls at my July workshop each got one with some treats inside! Hmmm...future workshop project - Come and see!

sTAmP-A-pALOoZa July 15 &16

Monthly stamp class is this Thursday or Friday. 6:30pm -$5 - RSVP required!!

I'm still alive!!

I'm sure your all wondering what happened to me....well, when you find out - let me know!! lol
Life has been quite crazy. Now that VBS, vacation & CTMH convention are over - I hope to get back to being creative and posting again!
Convention was a blast! I saw so much creative, learned new ways to make my business better, and met a wonderful group of women! I am really blessed to work for such an amazing company with a wonderful, supportive and down to earth CEO - Jeanette Lynton. They went way above and beyond for us.
Thanks for waiting for me to get back online - see you soon!

Home Gathering Project

We did this cute card at my last Home Gathering - Book your's today so you can "get creative" with your friends! (Thanks Sherry for a wonderful time with your friends and family!)

Birdhouse fun

Saw this in the archives of the Project Tuesday page and thought it would be fun to try. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The splendor paper really made my cloudy day shine! Used: Goldrush, Moonstruck and Splendor papers, Moonstruck and Topiary Inks, vines from One of a Kind stamp set and bird stamp from Felicity set. Directions here.

Shirt Fold Instructions

I've had some requests on how to fold the shirt on the card I did. Well, I took some pictures and this is what I came up with. Besides, I don't think you would have understood "fold left thingie over to the other side to the other thingie..." Hope this helps! You can click on pictures to make them bigger.


















1. Start with a 4x6 piece of paper. (you could go 5x7 or 3x5, but that ratio works best, I think.)
2. Lightly crease top in half, just to get a half way point for the next step - DO NOT fold all the way.
3. Fold both sides into middle (to that light fold mark at top)
4. Fold over top (towards unopened side) about 1/2 inch (this is your collar).
5. Turn over and fold top corners in, leaving a space at the top (collar) with points together.
6. Fold up bottom, tuck under the "collar" and make crease at bottom of shirt.
7. Unfold again
8. Fold out "sleeves" from crease to the bottom of paper, like shown.
9. Fold back up. Voila! You have a shirt. You can pierce holes and add brads as buttons if you wish!

May Stamp-a-palooza!

Well, you missed a fun one! We did puddle pads and paper folding!

(sorry the pic's are so bad!)

New Zippidee paper for shirt, Tag used SOM - Cherish the moment and A Flitter.

Our new babies!!

Welcome Molly, Nubian/Alpine (white) and Daisy, LaMancha (black) to our family! Our children are doing dairy goats for 4H. These little ladies are sooo much fun!

Altered Tin

I made this cute little altered tin for my open house. It was one of the silent auction prizes...The lucky winner was my new friend Betty!

The tin holds a post it note holder and 4 magnets.

Used: New* CTMH Splendor Paper & Paper flowers

OPEN HOUSE

Well, if you missed it - you missed some fun! I had a two day open house and had the chance to see so many of my new friends - and make some new ones! Thanks to all of you who came out and saw the new product, made a card and played the game! A special congrats to the door prize winners! We made this cute card as the make-n-take (sorry about the BAD picture)!

My Mom is the BEST!

My mom's birthday was May 2 and I wanted to make her something special. I saw the rose on Jeanette Lynton's blog and had to try it. I don't however, recommend trying it at 10:30 at night....She loved the card, which is all that mattered! LOVE YOU MOM!

used: caprice ctmh paper

OPEN HOUSE! NEW PAPERS!
