2012 is coming to a close and it was a great year for our family! I hope it was a good year for you as well. I am not good at keeping resolutions, so I don't plan to make any that are too specific. But I do resolve to post more regularly to this blog. Papercrafting with Close To My Heart products is...
The final card to post from my workshop was a very simple, elegant sympathy card. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the flower is stamped again, second generation, in Sweet Leaf ink to the left of the first stamped image. ...
The feminine birthday card for my World Card-Making day event was inspired by my friend and fellow CTMH consultant, Lynette. I made my card much simpler than Lynette's, she is the queen of detailed, gorgeous cards!! Most of my workshop attendees had never done a paper flower and they were all pretty impressed with themselves at how easy it can...

This card could be used for a holiday greeting or a winter birthday card. The mittens and snowflakes were cut using the CTMH Artiste cartidge. This card could be used for a holiday greeting or a winter birthday card. The mittens and snowflakes were cut using the CTMH Artiste cartidge. ...
Today I am posting the Holiday Gift Card Holder I created using CTMH Pear and Partidge papers and the Artiste Cricut cartidge. I also taught this same project to fellow consultant friends at our annual Stamp Camp a couple of weeks ago! It's a little hard to tell in the second photo, but there is a slot where you can slide in a...

Registered guests made 6 different cards: 2 holiday designs 1 masculine birthday card 1 feminine birthday card 1 thank you card 1 sympathy card They used a variety of techniques and a few of the designs featured the newest CTMH Cricut cartridge - Artiste!

Here is another card cut with the Artiste Cricut cartridge to create the pocket and the tag with the Dakota papers. ...
We just got back from KOOL Deadwood Nights. It's a full weekend of classic car events and concerts. We stayed with my sister-in-law's family and had a great time! I was working on a gift card holder today to send them and thought the Cruisin' papers were perfect! Now I just have to choose which one to send them! ...
Here are 2 cards using CTMH Dakota papers I created for a unit swap: The card on the left features the Artiste Cricut cartridge. I used it to cut the Barn Red scalloped edge and the banner for Oh Happy Day. The card on the right features the new burlap...very fun accent! I also curved the sentiment stamp to fit the circle. Here...
This last week I had an Open House to introduce the new Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book. I had a nice turn-out and it was great to visit with old friends and meet new gals interested in papercrafting! This was my Cricut station! I had some fun samples made with both Art Philosophy and Artiste, including the favor box, which...
I finally took photos of the 'Top 10' mini album/card I made for our daughter's 20th birthday. This one features Roxie papers. ...

I have discovered that I am a 'stand-up' scrapper! I most often find myself standing at my counter to cut and design my lay-outs. But the old counter was a little short for me and the counter was covered with a 'lumpy' linoleum! I felt obligated to keep it since it was original to my station. But one day while my hubby was...

Hello Papercrafting friends! I have missed everyone and am finally back to stamping, scrapbooking, and papercrafting! If you have a Cricut Expression (or have been thinking about getting one) you will LOVE the exclusive CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge! It has so many great features...if I had this one when I first got my Cricut I would have saved tons of money on other...
