Helping out friends

We gave baby items to The Restoration House in Hammond.

We completed our First Large Crop.  We had 15 ladies attend.  Everyone worked on their own projects and learned some new techniques.  We taught a How To Class for a few ladies.  Played Scrapbook Bingo, King Cake Taste contest, crowned Mrs. Most Mardi Gras, and gave back to the community.  Our next Crop is August 19-21, 2016.  Thank you for all who attended.

January Weekend Crop

Only a few more days til the Crop in Hammond that I am hosting.  Looking forward to seeing you there.  I will be posting pictures later. If you have not registered give me a call I have a few spaces open.

Sangria Card

Sangria is the paper featured this month by Close To My Heart.  Inspired by Sheena Brooks I created this card using Champagne, Poppy and Eggplant inks. Also, D1663 Floral Banners Stamp Set.  I used the Artistry Cricut Cartridge to cut out the leaf. I backed it with Sangria paper.  For your private class or a list of my classes just email me at ilove2scrap67@yahoo.com.

September Cards

Zoe B&T

 Zoe Backgrounds & Texture card using Whisper, Sorbet, Buttercup, Glacier & Black ink. The SOTM S1509 and CC1041 National Stamping Month Stamp. 

Nevermore

We used Nevermore Backgrounds & Texture paper and Sorbet Cardstock to make this pinwheel card and embossing folders of choice.  We de-embossed with Whisper ink. We used the "For Someone Special" from C1607.

Card clubs are a great way to learn lots of techniques.  September card club was loaded with techniques.  Ask how you can join or even start your own card club near you. 

Zoe Workshop on the Go

Using the Zoe Workshop on the Go I created these two layouts.  I added more pictures than what was suggested.  You have that option.  With the remaining products I can create more layouts or cards.  Also, that exclusive stamp set that comes with the kit is very easy to be used with other projects.

Convention Swap 2015

 Close To My Heart Convention in Disneyland was fun. One of my favorite activities is the consultant swap.  This year I made about 50 cards to swap with other consultants. Close To My Heart has some very talented people.  By swapping cards you can meet others that have the same interest and  learn about where they live.  I meet some great ladies from Australia, & Canada.

Beach Gear

This is a card we made using A1164 Beach Gear stamp and Wanderful B &T. We used Gypsy, Smoothie  Honey inks for stamping the images.  Also, we used Glitter Paper and made the strip in the middle. The sentiment was from the C1605 Happy to Be Friends.
