Album Retreat Roomie Gift

This year I attended the Close To My Heart Album Retreat in Salt Lake City.

My roommate was Nancy,  we always best time together.  I wanted to make her something special and knew that the Sarita Paper would work wonderfully in an album for her.  This album was inspired by one I had seen at convention, but I don't know who made that one.

This Kraft album is so easy to work with and affordable for any occasion at only $5.95.  Mine has 9 pages but I think it could hold several more even with more embellishments.

The pages were cut with the cricut using our new Artbooking Cartridge. Preset the cartridge to cut at 8" and easy as pie I cut all the pages without changing anything, love how this new cartridge works.. I used various CTMH stamp sets and accents as well.

If you are interested in any of the items listed in pink you can click onto the item to get more information.  A new party will open on Nov 1st and you can join in. 

Holiday Gift Guide Blog Hop

 Welcome to my first ever blog hop.  The purpose of this hop is to introduce you some of the new product in our Holiday Gift Guide, available October 15th now through December  31 (or while supplies last).
It's a circle of CTMH consultants who want to share some special artwork with you.  If you have come here from Carolyn Johnston's Blog, you are headed on the right path.  If you get lost along the way you can find a complete list of the participating consultants here.

It's super easy to hop along with us - just click on the link at the bottom of this post to see what is next.

This Treat Box Card was made using the new 

Sparkle and Shine Paper Packet.

It's a fun way to give a little sweet gift along with the card.  In the box are 5 Hersey Nuggets each wrapped in our great B&T paper.  The stamp set used for the sayings is from the Stamp of the Month for this month and available only until Oct 31.

The template for this treat box came from Splitcoaststampers, Treat Box Card.  I cut the opening using Cricut Craftroom.

Post it Note Holder

This second item I wanted to show you that the Sparkle and Shine Paper Packet can be used for something besides Christmas.  I am sure you have seen Post it Note Holders before using a slanted acrylic frame, but frankly they are really flimsy.  So I decided to use our new Designed Decor Flip Stand, I used the rings to hold a pen, and tied it on so you wouldn't loose it.  This stand is meant to use for a little table top album.  I have one made with Frosted and Huntington papers that you can take a look at.  Anyway, if you decide you don't want to use it as a Post it Note Holder after awhile you can always just make a little album and use it that way too.

Holiday Card Class

 

Here are 6 of the cards I will have available for the Holiday Card Class this year.The top card features the new paper from the Holiday Gift Guide and the Santa stamp.  Check out the sparkly washi tape on it.

The Scandinavian Wishes card is our stamp of the Month and was inspired by one that consultant Karen Pedersen shared.

The Merry and Bright card was inspired by a talented consultant Brenda Rose.

The snowflake layered card was inspired by another amazing consultant Mary Thompson and the Santa card was inspired by an ornament Mary made.

The bottom card is all mine.

The class is now closed.
