Wanna Win a Scene?

You all must go check this out where you could win this amazing scene of chipboard...(I am supposed to show the photo of the item and link it back to the site but I am still learning on the new Mac and when I try to save pic as it saves it as html and won't let me add it on here? I just can't figure out how to save another pic from a site onto my comp and then add on here...anyone help me? Hopefully this still puts me in the running.

So cool hey?! Oh what I could do with free chipboard!

Sketchy Thursdays

Well, I found this new site, Sketchy Thursdays that has a new sketch challenge every Thursday. I figured I would give it a go. So, here is my layout for last weeks sketch, due today.

New Layout

I love how this one turned out..I just wish I had done my title differently as it blends in a little too much.

Don't forget to check out the Close to My Heart promotion below...putting in an order by the end of this week.

Buy one get one FREE!!!

I am putting in a Close to My Heart order by the end of this week so if you want anything please let me know by then. The stamp of the month for February is a very cute birthday cake set that is soo cute you must have it.

Also, this month with Close to My Heart you can "give and get back" During the month of Ferbuary when you purchase a 12x12 textured cardstock combo pack, you'll get one FREE and for every offer purchased C2MH will donate $2 to Operation Smile's Haiti relief efforts. By one, get one free...wow!! What a great offer. And, I just love their cardstock, it is so nice to work with and coordinates with our paper packs so nicely. To top it off you are contributing to help out Haiti who so desperately need all the help they can give. Each combo pack is only $17.50 each.

One more layout to share with you. At my daughters last birthday party, number 7 she wanted everyone to do their nails with this new nail polish set with drier she had gotten from my sister as a bday gift..so, viola!

More layouts from Scrapbook Heaven online crop

Here are some more of the pages I did over at Scrapbook Heaven this weekend.

This following page was done using some papers from the felicity collection from Close to My Heart that is available only till the end of this month.

This next layout is one of my new favorite recent layouts. I was looking through my photos I have printed off for scrapbooking to find two that I could do for this sketch and came across these beauties. I love them and had forgotten all about them. For this layout everything I used is from Felicity Collection again, even the flourishes which I die cut from my Slice were left over paper from the layout above with me and Dillon. I only added some stickles to the flourishes on the paper itself, but even the title and the other stamps all come with this beautiful collection. Close to my heart really outdid themselves with this set. I hope they come up with more scalloped type papers as they definitely have a knack for it!!

One of the challenges that was put out to us for the crop was to design our own sketch to challenge the Dt's. Never done this before but thought I would give it a go, plus it gets me another entry into the grand prize so here is my sketch...I then did a layout based on my own sketch..lol First time ever that I did a whole layout using only Coordination papers. I really like the overall effect it gave to the layout though.

This first sketch is the precrop sketch over at the online crop happening at Scrapbook Heaven this weekend.

This one is for sketch #2

Finally!

Well, I went scrapbooking all day friday at JSI with some friends and got quite a bit accomplished. I tried out my new irresistibles Lots of Dots alphabet stickers. Wow, I am totally IN-LOVE with these. I think I used them on almost every page that I did that day. They are sooo neat. They come in two 6x12 sheets of white alphabet stickers with white dots on them. You take a sponge dauber inked up in your color of choice to match your papers you are using and dab away at the letters you need and voila!...the color resist the dots leaving them white and changes the background of the letter to the color you are using. They are just sooo neat I couldn't stop using them on each page I did...and there is ample letters of each letter that even after using them for the amount of pages I did, I haven't even touched my second sheet and still have LOTS left on the first sheet! They are sooo much fun and you really must add them to your stash!

These Christmas layouts were part of the Christmas WOTG from last year. I had already put them together a few months ago but needed to wait till I had the photos for it to put it together with the final touches...so here it is now all done.

Yeah! I am going scrapbooking ALL DAY tomorrow at JSI! Won't you come join us!? I should have lots to share with you by monday as I plan to get lots done this weekend.

January's WOTG!

K, so I started doing these last year just before I started working and then had to put them on the side burner as I just had no time to do them working full time and still fitting family in there. I know other consultants that have tried them and they are finding them to be quite successful. There is no commitment...you just come to the ones that you would like to do.

WOTG's come with a level 2 paper pack, an embellishment of some sort related to the themed paper packs and a exclusive full sized stamp set that isn't available in the catalogue, along with a detailed instructional guide for the 2 page layout as well as instructions for additional cards or layouts if you choose to do them at a later date. That is the basic kit...for approx. $10 more give or take depending on the months kit you can purchase the better kit that includes the basic kit and a few extra embellishments to add to your layouts. I always do the better kit myself.

How it works. I give you a set date for the workshop and a deadline date that if you would like to attend you need to let me know by and have your payment to me...usually about 2 weeks prior to the workshops to give me time to order them and have them arrive in time. Then on the set date all you need to bring with you is your trimmers and adhesive. I supply inks and any other tools we may need. You come to my place and I will show you, along side your guides how to compose the two page layout we will be making. You just need to add photos when you get home or bring them along and add them at the time! You then leave with all your extra papers and there will be lots left! and your stamp set and guide and will have fun making more layouts or cards with what you have left over.

Each month a new WOTG is featured. This month I am doing the topstitch one as I love that paperpack and couldn't wait to order it! If you and your friends would be interested or would like some more information please contact me at C2MH@shaw.ca and I will be in touch.

Because do to me working till this past Sunday I am posting this a little late so deadline to have your order and payment into me will be January 18th, with the workshop being on February 6th. Please help spread the word for me by passing this site onto your friends/family that scraps.

Here is the layout that we will be making on the 6th
