Joyful Stars Blog Hop

It’s time again for our Joyful Stars Blog Hop.  This is a fun hop that includes many talented Close To My Heart Consultants.  This month our theme is “Easter.”
If you’ve arrived here from Andrea's Blog, you are on the right track.  Now without further ado, here is my project for the month.
Blog Hop April
Blog Hop April upclose
That sweet Momma Bunny is from one of my all time favorite CTMH Stamps called Sensational Season.  It is a retired Stamp of the Month from a couple years ago.  I love using it every year.  Many of the other goodies on my project are new.  The pattern paper is from the Skylark paper packet.  I added the teal shimmer tape and embossed and sanded the Lagoon base mat using the new CTMH Quarterfoil embossing folder.  By the way, the image is colored with my CTMH alcohol markers.
It is time to hop on over to Stephanie’s Blog.  If you get lost along the way, head back to Joyce’s Blog for a full list of participants.  For Now, Happy Crafting!

CTMH Lollydoodle Workshop On The Go

I think I mentioned before, but I am really liking the CTMH Workshops on the Go.  In the current Idea Book, there are several and two created especially for cardmaking.  Lollydoodle is one of them and I have to use it for class because it is such a great deal.
WG1
By now, you know me…I have to change things up just a tad but this card is very similar to one of the cards that comes in the kit.  Each WTOG contains several sheets of pattern paper and card stock, embellishments, a D sized stamp set and an instruction guide.  For $24.95 they are a terrific deal.
This is one of the cards that we will be making at my April Workshops.  Nice and spring like…what do you think?  Check out my website to see the full like of CTMH workshops on the Go.  For Now, Happy Crafting!

CTMH Lollydoodle Handmade Card

It is the time again for me to begin preparing for my April round of card classes.  This month I’ve chosen the CTMH Lollydoodle Card Workshop On The Go.  As time has gone on, I’ve really begun to like the Card Workshops On The Go.  The kits include papers, card blanks, embellishments, instructions and a “D” size stamp set all for $24.95!  Lollydoodle (G1080) is no exception.  The stamp set has fun sentiments and even one of the most trendy images out there…an Owl.


I wanted to enhance the kit even further so I created a card using the Hostess Reward Stamp Set called Doodle Signs (A1158.)  This stamp set can be yours for $4.00 when you have a CTMH party with sales of $150.00.

Lollydoodle is such a fun paper packet…SPRING colors.  Oh how I can’t wait for spring.  Pear, Sorbet, Sky, Hollyhock are just a few of the great colors that coordinate with the cheery patterns.


If you are interested in seeing more of the Lollydoodle paper, WTOG or the Hostess Rewards Stamp Set or would like to Hostess a party, please stop by my website.  For Now, Happy Crafting!

CTMH Handmade Card With ProPlayer

No sooner do I finish one series of classes and it is time to start another round.  The month of February we will be using the CTMH paper packet called ProPlayer (X7172B.)  At first, I wasn’t sure about ProPlayer, but the more I studies it, the more I realized that it is a very useable pattern for many styles of cards.  So, here is the first in the group of my projects for the workshops.

The stamp set is another one of the “hidden” treasure Cricut Compatible stamps.  These are stamps that have not appeared recently in an Idea Book, but contain images that work with one of the CTMH Cartridges.  This stamp is called “A Cup of Cheer” (B1404) and has a sentiment image that uses the Art Philosophy cartridge.  By the way, the stamps are very usable even if you don’t have the cartridge.My workshops are all about techniques.  This card features sanding, coloring with watercolor pencils and washi tape.


Since I’ve often mentioned my workshops, I thought it would be fun to share a few pictures…

I love working with everyone.  So, don’t forget if you live in the Philadelphia area, contact me to join one of the classes.  There is also room for one more.  If you have ever thought about, or enjoy sharing the joy of paper crafting, think about joining the growing Saving Memories CTMH Team.  We have a blast!  For Now, Happy Crafting!

CTMH Spring Summer 2014 Idea Book Sneak Peek

 I am so excited about the upcoming CTMH Spring Summer Idea Book.  My supplies are beginning to arrive at my doorstep and you will be able to begin to order the goodies beginning February 1st.


One of the wonderful features that is continuing in this IB called Jeanette’s Stamp Archive.  This is a collection of stamps created over the past 30 years by CTMH’s founder, Jeanette Lynton.  This Idea Book has 4 new stamps.  Each of them is cuter than the next.
I’ve chosen one to complete a Valentine Card and that will give you a sneak peek at one of the many new items.


01-21-14


The stamp is called “Coming Up Roses” (C1579.)  While it does have the sentiment “Happy Valentine’s Day,” I think the cute cherubs and roses work year round for both scrapbook layouts and cards.  I’ve colored them with my CTMH Alcohol Markers and used paper from the Chantilly (Z1814) paper packet.


Chantilly will be retired effective January 31…right as the new IB becomes available.  It is a terrific paper packet featuring bright and springy colors.  Coming Up Roses is available February 1st.  Stop by my website if you would like to order Chantilly before it’s gone.  And, mark your calendar to stop by on February 1st to see the new CTMH Idea Book.  For Now, Happy Crafting!
