Best Stamps on the Block

Family


I was so excited to receive my CTMH order this morning knowing it would contain the "Wings" workshop kit. I was even more excited when I opened the package and I saw the awesome colors the pack contained. I immediately went to work scrapping family pictures taken at Christmas. I have to say, "I love, love, love this paper pack!" I also utilized CTMH's new Bohemian Alphabet for my title (which is stamped in Vineyard Berry). Very fun!
Stay tuned as I am currently working on a chipboard banner and decorating it with some cute papers from the Basic Gray collection. I'll post as soon as it is completed. Happy scrapping!
Page 2 "Perfect Day" layout


When I am lacking creative energy I often refer to layout ideas to get the ball rolling. The layout ideas can come from several resources. This is actually page 1 of a 2 page layout. While the photos were taken at Christmas I really wanted to focus on the "family" concept so I steered away from Christmas papers. "Perfect Day" is a retired pack from CTMH and had a great feel for family. I also utilized the "Perfect Day" My Stickease to help with my title and embellishments.
I took a couple of "mental health" days and decided to complete some pages because after all, "scrapbooking is cheaper than therapy"! This page was literally thrown together in a matter of minutes with the help of Close To My Heart's level 1 paper and My Stickease. This pattern is from the "You Rock" paperpack.

January 2011

So onto the exciting news......the new Spring/Summer bi-annual Idea Book is here!! Basically, two books have been combined into one. Introducing 8 new paper packs instead of only 4 and much much more. I am thrilled with the publication and believe that you will be too.

The January Stamp of the Month is called, "Find Your Style". This set is very feminine with a touch of vintage appeal. If you purchase the Wings Workshop on the Go kit, plus 4 items from the Inspirations brochure, this set could be yours absolutely FREE. It is also available to be purchased outright for a cost of $22.95. If you don't recall, the Wings Workshop Kit was introduced in the brochure I emailed out last month. If you have any questions about the brochure please let me know. The brochure deals are only good until the end of January.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Happy Scrapping,
