Twitterpated Layout

Close to My Heart has a very active online community, and on our Bulletin Board, we have a section where consultants can post their artwork. Well, one consultant started a challenge where she chooses a design from either Imagine or Cherish, CTMH's wonderful scrapbooking design books, and people can post the layouts that they finish using the same...

I Won!

I entered a couple of cards to SPCC's World Card Making Day colour challenges a while back, and my name was pulled randomly as a prize winner! Samantha Strachan, SPCC's owner, sent me a prize package, all the way from Tennessee, and these are some of the cute papers that were inside! It's hard to tell from the pictures, but some of the papers are...

A Masculine Birthday Card

I was browsing through my old CTMH Idea Books, and I saw this card pattern used a couple of times, and thought I should give it a try. I like the three squares and how balanced it all looks.

Another Back Country Page

I finished this page in next to no time. Don't you love it when that happens?

That never happened with film! I always got them developed as soon as the roll was done. Of course, now I...

Wall Hanging Part 2

If you scroll down, you can see the Christmasy side of this wall hanging. I will be hosting a workshop some time in the first week of December that includes the 6x6 My Creations Memory Showcase accordion-style album, photo hangers, ribbon, and enough paper to cover one side of the project. Customers will also have use of any of my stamp sets and inks...

Twitterpated WOTG

This is the layout I came up with using the Twitterpated Workshop On The Go kit from Close to My Heart. I love, love, love the colours, and the stamp set is sooooo cute! (That's the little mushrooms.) Originally, I thought I would use fall pics to go with these papers, but they coordinate nicely with the green spring grass and my mom's blue sweater....
