Magical Layouts

The Magical paper packet isn't just for Disney photos, it's actually versatile to use as a school theme too.  My little ones are going into Kindergarten and Second grade and I thought I would get ahead of the game and create their first day photo using the Magical papers.

I love how they turned out and can't wait to add my photos to each one.  Aside of using the Magical papers I used the Stamp of the Month "Notebook" and various Cricut cuts from Artiste (retiring this week…) and Artbooking cartridges.

This is the last week to purchase the Stamp of the Month, Magical paper packet and 3- Cricut cartridges - Artfully Sent, Artiste, Art Philosophy and products from the Annual Catalog.  Shop before they are gone!

Last Week!

This year I went to my second Close To My Heart convention and LOVED it!!  After going to my first one I was hooked.  If you are a crafter then can you imagine going to a place who love the same thing you do and be able to see incredible artwork?  Yes, it is amazing.  Both conventions were held at Disney Resort Hotels therefore I made this cute little mini album using the Hip Pics album and the Magical paper packet.

The Magical papers were perfect for my little album.  This is the last week to purchase the papers, album and many other items being retired.  Go to my shopping website and purchase your items before it's too late.

If your purchases add up to $50 or more you can also get the stamp of the month for only $5 which I've used quite a bit already.  Here are two more cards I had fun making.

Come back and visit on Wednesday so you can see two adorable layouts I've made using the Magical papers and stamp of the month as a school theme!  

Enjoy!

It's Magical!

I wanted to share another paper packet that will soon be retiring next week.  It's "Magical" and let me tell you it is, this packet is perfect for scrapping away your Disneyland photos because the colors are perfect!

It's also great for cards which is what I used it for, but I"m also working on a scrapbook page with these beautiful papers.

I made these cards using the Magical paper packet ($9.95) and used the "Beyond Awesome" stamp set which I can't seem to stop using because it's so AWESOME! LOL!  Seriously, it really is, it fits every card or lay out I make.

I also made this small card using a 6" X 3" white card stock for the base then folded in half to make the small card.  I then added Magical paper, stamped and Voila!  That quick and easy.  I created the small envelope using the Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge that is RETIRING this month.  Get it before it's gone!

Pink is Fabulous!!

Pink is just Fabulous and I just can't get enough of these cute little flamingos!  I just had to create more cards so I used the Close To My Heart Jubilee Cards since they were pink and cute.  Using thin cuts again I made 10 cards and 6 tags!

These are so easy to make with the card kit and Thin Cuts.  Order yours quick before they are gone because they are RETIRING at the end of the month!

The Notebook

The "Notebook" July Stamp of the Month is perfect for lay outs AND cards.  I wanted to share a card I made for my great niece's boyfriend who will be off to college next month.  I made him a cute little survival college kit and filled it with school supplies. 

I used the Stamp of the Month and the Magical paper packet.  The packet is only $9.95 and includes PML cards which I used on this card too. 

Enjoy!

Pink is Fabulous!

Pink is fabulous and so are these little cute guys!  I was inspired by Lisa Stenz and just had to make this card!  Isn't the pink gorgeous?

These cute little guys will be retiring at the end of the month.  If you too would like to re-create this card you will need to purchase the products by the end of this month because they are retiring.  Retiring some products to make room for new products! Here is the list of items you will need and feel free to change up the colors and choose different ones, which can give a card a whole new look.

Tickled Pink stamp set C1651- $13.95

 

Tinkled Pink Thin Cuts- Z3228

 

 

Cut Above Jubilee Card Kit- $10.95

 

I cut the flamingos using the Thin Cuts with my Cuttlebug machine so if you don't have a Cricut machine using Thin Cuts is a great option.  After running through Cuttlebug you then stamp directly on the cut with the coordinating stamp set.  I also used the pre-cut Jubilee card kit that comes with card bases and envelopes.  It's that easy!

Stamp of the Month

It's almost Friday for all you worker bees!  I've been using the Stamp of the Month and it is so versatile to use on many projects.  Here is a photo of my first card I made also with the Calypso paper packets.  The flamingos are too cute.

I used the tag from the Stamp of the Month and Calypso seguin at the top.  I love that the seguin has stripes on them!

My niece is currently in the nursing program so I made her a quick pocket scrapbooking mini book with several pictures I stole ( ha, ha) from her facebook page!  She loved it.  The outside also has the mini tag tied with ribbon twine that is on "while supplies last", get them before they are gone!

Get the Stamp of the Month for only $5 with a qualifying purchase.  Have a great weekend!

If you are really contemplating being a consultant with Close To My Heart, let me tell you a little more and show you what I received at convention this year. Being a consultant you are eligible to attend convention each year.  When you attend you receive the new catalog, new mini catalog, first to see the new wonderful products, attend business classes, receive a new bag (my favorite) and receive new products. 

This is m new bag this year which is a rolling tote!  I love it and the color is beautiful.  These are exclusive stamps I received not available in the catalog except for one which I will let you try to figure out which one! LOL.

 

Here's a closer look at just the rolling tote.  Since all consultants received one it was hard to tell who belongs to who so I added my little key chains to it right away.  Isn't this an awesome tote?

 

Convention also is a great time to meet other consultants and make friends.  I loved it!  Being a consultant you meet many people as you work your business and make long lasting friendships.  It's fun to meet with a group of gals who share your passion of crafting.
