A Few Things to know.

Each month I will be showcasing ideas and artwork focusing on the use of the current promotions and workshops that are available that month. Some workshops will be at my home, but most will also be available in a kit format that you can do at home as well.

WORKSHOPS ON THE GO: These are monthly workshops that are held in my home, but that can be done on your own as well. The cost for a scrapbook workshop is $29.95 and includes supplies to create a 2-page layout with plenty left over to create more. (last month I made 6 layouts, 8 greeting cards and had almost a full roll of ribbon ($6.95 value), and 3/4 package of embellishments ($5.95 value) left over) You will also get a D-sized stamp set (valued at $17.95) to keep and use over and over. Most kits have a value of about $40 for only $29.95. If the workshop uses cricut embellishments I will cut these out for you so you can still do them at home even without a cricut machine. (ink pads however are not included).

STAMPS OF THE MONTH: Every month CTMH has what they call a stamp of the month D-sized ($17.95 value) stamp set that is only available during that particular month. When it's gone...it's gone! It can be purchased at full retail value, or for anyone spending $50 in other product they can purchase it for just $5.00. Check back regularly to see what this month's stamp set is and for ideas on how to use it.

SPECIALIZED PROJECTS: Ocassionally I will be offering other projects such as home decor ideas, card making workshops, technique classes and seasonal or gift giving ideas. I am hoping that these will be offered both as classes in my home as well as kits that can be done on your own. Keep your eyes on my blog as the holidays are just around the corner.

October Workshop Your Way

Here are the Pictures of the Swan Lake (fall/thanksgiving) Workshop your way. I know some of it looks a little empty...but as we were discussing today at the Jeepers Creepers workshop...try to imagine them filled with pictures and looking much more complete.



Christmas Card Buffet

Here are a few more cards that will be available at my Christmas Card Buffet on October 8th.  There are many more on my earlier posts and will be more coming over the next 2 weeks.






Monday, September 19, 2016

Following are a few examples of some of the Christmas Cards kits that will available at my Card Buffet on October 8th. I will be posting more examples every few days as I complete them. Please keep watching. Cards will vary in price depending on each piece but most will range from $1:00 - $2:00 a kit. I will have several of some of the easier designs but may only have a few of the more elaborate pieces. They will be available starting on Oct 8th at 5:00 and will continue to be available while supplies last through the holidays. I am guessing the majority of them will sell at the workshop on the 8th, so save the date and plan to attend.










those two little round enamel dots on the trees were just accidentally there. Didn't see them. Not supposed to be there. Sorry.
