March Club

We had a short card club this month, only two of my girls could come! I miss the others too! :) We did three cards this time, one for Easter and a couple of all purpose ones:
Next card club is April 24th!

I know, I know....

Life just happens sometimes, you know? :) Holidays, birthdays, remodeling projects, sickness, general laziness...sometimes they get the best of me...

Here are some things I/we have been working on:

This was card club for January. I took to Pinterest and got much inspiration there...I grabbed up my Cuttlebug and dusted off my embossing powders and heat gun and went to town!

These are quick simple "triple stamp" technique cards I am doing for a retreat I'm going to:

This is a layout I've been trying to finish, using the Avonlea paper pack from the Fall/Winter 2012 catalog (it's still available though! :)

This last set of photos is a quick little 6 x 6 accordion album I made for my mum for Christmas. Her best friend passed away last year and I thought I'd give her a little something to cry about :) I used the Dakota paper pack from the Fall/Winter 2012 catalog for this (also still available to order!) as well as some Dimensional Elements that came with our Cricut Artiste cartridge, some Scrabble letters I found on clearance at Joann's (perfect since that was their favorite game) and some of our Pewter Badge buttons and brads:

This one says "So thankful for your friendship." The photo is the fuzziest :)

We are trying to get a card club going for March...what with the Spring retreat coming up and me trying to clean out my stash...we'll see if we can do it! :) As always, if you're interested in attending a club, want to start your own or want to do something together, give me a shout! Thanks for looking!

It's Been Awhile....

We've been busy! Check out some of the cards we've done since I posted here last....

Various Items

The new Idea Book is AWESOME!! My wish list grows more by the day....give me a shout if you'd like a copy, we can start ordering tomorrow (August 1)!

Our upcoming Constant Campaign is pretty sweet. We're doing the the double stamp set again! From August 15 - September 30th, just order $35 worth of product and get the adorable "It's Your Day" double stamp set for only $5! The set is valued at over $35, so it's a GREAT deal!!

I'm going to contact my favorite gals and see when they'd like to have our next card club....it's been too long! When I know, I'll post it here...let me know if you're interested in joining us!

Till next time, paper pals....

WOWZA!!!

I've checked out the new Idea Book and OY! Great things, people! Cricut cart, a new How To book, the paper packs are beautiful (I really love every single one this time!), mini ink pads, markers, a great new Consultant kit, TONS of home decor projects, card kits, embellishments, storage, and more! I can't wait to get my shipment of books so I can share with all of you!

CONVENTION!

Wow! The CTMH sisters that are at convention in Dallas are posting some amazing changes! I'll share more soon....think, card kits, home decor kits....

School's Out!

What a crazy 30 days I've had! Without going into details....let's just say it's been busy :)

Here are pics of our last 2 card clubs, May and our mid-June "emergency" meeting! The gals and I have yet do decide on a date for July, as may of us are vacationing and the like, so when I know, I'll post it! Give me a shout if you'd like to come check it out or are thinking about starting your own!

Don't forget our current campaign, Stampaganza! Buy two stamp sets, get one of equal or lesser value FREE! Drop me an email and I'll get you the details!

 

Happy Hot Weather, everyone!

Life Happens!

Wow. That's what they say, "Life Happens." It sure does! We are tearing up our house and have, in the process of this, buried all my stuff! We had to cancel April card club because of this, but had one in May....I will post photos of the cards we made later. I wanted to tell everyone about our campaign for June, it's a DOOZY! It's called Stampaganza! Get this: buy two stamp sets/get one free! That's right! Buy any two stamp sets and get a third for equal or lesser value FREE! Ask me how!  

March Card Club - Complete!

We made 3 rather simple cards this month. I made the gals decorate Easter eggs which I cut out with the Art Philosophy cartridge for some Easter cards, and we used the super versatile stamp set "Card Word Puzzle" for the other two. We created our own background with the large flower from that set on the purple and green card (thanks to Christina and Charol for suggesting those colors) and we used the smaller flower stamp from that set and colored pencils for the small white card. I love my gals!

Great weekend!

Wow! I was lucky enough to get to spend the weekend with some GREAT ladies scrapping, chatting, eating....I had such a great time, I forgot to take any photos! I was so busy talking and stuff I only got 5 pages made the entire weekend! I made so many new friends though...totally worth it!

Thanks to all...and welcome to my crazy scrappy world if you're just joining us!

February and March!

Wow! February flew by even with the extra day!

On Leap Day we had card club. We had a couple of ladies missing, but we did 4 cards:



The stamp of the month for March is "Potential." I used it for my swap cards in the post below this one if you'd like to see it in action :)




We're doing next card club on Wednesday, March 28th. I can't wait!

The constant campaign for March leaves me speechless! We're calling it "The Philosophy of Fun." The deal is, sign up with me to be a consultant and purchase your new consultant kit for $99 (which includes a ton of our great products to get you started in your new business, as well as allows you to get add-on collections for only $40 if you like), THEN you get the Cricut Art Philosophy collection for FREE! The collection includes the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge (which has over 700 shapes you can cut), 3 coordinating D sized stamp sets and three 9 x 12 sheets of coordinating Dimensional Elements shapes! If you already have the wonderful Art Philosophy collection, you can get $100 in Select Product Credit instead! You can't lose! The basic new consultant kit is worth over $288! Contact me if you're interested!





Everyone have a great March!
