Isn't it exciting to see how different the papers work up into cards?

SCRAPBOOK ELEMENTS - CHANTILLY

I just realized I haven't posted my Scrapbook Elements in awhile.  This one was a couple months ago and is from

 the Close to My Heart  Chantilly paper pack (X7163B). 

 These elements can actually be used on cards,

 papercrafts and scrapbook pages.

Getting some ideas?  Give them a try!

SURF'S UP CREATIONS

Here's a card, tag, and bag created by two very talented women for our unit meeting.  This month we featured Close to My Heart "Surf's Up" papers ( X7168C).

Here is a closer view.

OPERATION SMILE - DISPLAY BOARD

I was lucky enough to win the bid for this

 Display Board at

Close to My Heart's Operation Smile Auction

 at Convention in Orlando in June.  We raised over $20,000 at the auction from our consultants.  That means several kids can have facial surgeries and new smiles!

I was also recognized as the 4th highest donation contributor to

 Operation Smile from Close to My Heart for last year. 

 Thanks to all my customers for all the times

 you rounded up your sales tickets. 

 Thanks to everyone that supports my January

Operation Smile Crop and Auction.

  It's because of you that we all make a difference

 in the lives of so many children.

THANK YOU!

SCRAPBOOK ELEMENTS- SURF'S UP

Each month I participate in a

 Scrapbook Elements Exchange for items  that can be used

 on my scrapbook pages.  This month it was Surf's Up. 

 These elements include circular frames, borders,

 titles ,6"x 6" page, banners, dimensional elements, joiurnaling spots, envelopes and so much more by some very talented ladies.  

To view larger, just click on the picture.

I hope this gives you some suggestions

 on ways to embellish your scrapbook pages (or cards and crafts).

Happy Creating!

NEW ARTBOOKING CRICUT CARTRIDGE

 Close to My Heart has done it again and has given us

 ANOTHER fabulous Cricut cartridge called Artbooking !

  That makes three CTMH Cricut cartridges,

 each unique and different from the rest. 

 I use mine all the time, and love creating great projects with each.

Artbooking comes with 700 different cuts:

* 30 Themed DOUBLE Page Layouts (total of 60 layouts) all size coordinated

* 10 Themed Mini Albums (8x8, 6x6, 5x7) with minimum 8 pages each

* Full page and partial page overlays (square and rectangles of each overlay) which can also be used as stencils for inking or misting

* Many phrases

* Themed accessory images

* Themed and decorated photo mats

* Font

* And so much more!

 This cartridrge is great for cards, gifts or home décor, can be re-sized and used as pieces for many kinds of projects!  This cartridge was designed with the scrapbooker in mind, but can also used for cards and other papercrafts!

Watch for upcoming projects.
 Here are a few pages from the New Artbooking handbook.

And so much more....

  Preorders available with shipping on August 1^st.

Can't wait to get creating, how about you?
