July workshop
July workshop
If you love that little purse - you will just have to get our Artiste cartridge! It is so easy to make those little purses and other fun things with that cartridge. The cartridge contains 750 images! If you want to make little gifts, this cartridge is for you! Right now we have 3 cartridges - in August we will have 4. One of the ladies at the workshop thought, this little purse was a perfect project at a girlscout meeting!
If the "Celebrate" card looks familiar - well, I copied the design right out of the ideabook! I wanted to show everybody, that you can make what you see in the books! Spring/Summer book, pg. 96.
On the third pocket card I also used the cricut cartridge! It is so easy to make this type of cards, with the cricut. Here is a warning - once you get started - you may never want to stop! Don't tell me, I did not warn you!
Please let me know how I might be able to help you. You can contact me and I will be more than happy to give you some pointers on how to use those cartridges. You can also use some of the many tutorials I have posted on this blog here.
We will have our next class on August 22. If you live close by me, we would love to have you join us! We will be working on birthday cards!
If you miss one, but would love to make them at home or you live too far - its as easy as ordering the kits. Just go to my blog and order the kit!

CTMH Convention 2014
It was a blast! I can't tell you all the secrets yet (lol) you will have to wait for the big reveal for just a little bit yet. But you will love the new goodies coming your way!
In the meantime, we learned a lot of great new things to do with our product, we had lots of fun, met lots of great friends. I went on a 5K walk through the California Adventure park, then at night we had a dance party, took part in a flash mob dance, had great food, took a picture with Mickey! Whew I am sure I forget a few things :)
One of the great things is I spent a lot of my time Linda and Jo who have been with me for a long time! Jo joined me 10 years ago and Linda joined 8 years ago! We have been together for a long time and I have been truly blessed to have them part of my team - so glad we were able to be together!
We were able to raise enough money over this convention for over 146 smile operations - that is so awesome! We are so stoked - I will gladly walk and dance again for that :).
I will post some of the artwork soon, be on the lookout for that - and some teasers ...
So, here are a few pictures:

Clearly The Best: Do the Twist (S02E05)
When you're celebrating someone special, you need décor to match! Make
your own—and make it unique—by curving, bending, wrapping, angling,
curling, and coiling Slate striped twist ties into party decorations
sure to make your guests dance with delight.
As I am off to convention I will make some cool pictures - one will be the flip flops I made with these twists! I am making a few other cool little items, I will posts those as well soon - keep watching! My plane will leave early tomorrow morning ... :)

Did you miss the last workshop?
Never fear - I will share the cards we made and more!
First let me show you the three cards we made at the workshop. I will only highlight a couple of cool little steps I taught. If you want to learn more details - please, contact me and I will be more than happy to help you out.
Let me point out - all cards have distressed parts! Yes, we always distress the edges of the cardstock! Use your scissors, your edge distressor. Use your sponge or sponge dauber. Distressing adds a lot more to your artwork.
One of the gals asked me where I get my inspiration for the cards - I go to the internet, yes. But I also go to my previous idea books and I use our How to Books. I love to use them to get started and adjust the cards to what need to do. They are well work their price! We have them for card makers and scrapbookers. You can't really tell in these pictures, but I used 3-d tape on all of my cards as well.
One of the things I wanted to teach on the tie card was that - do not throw even the smallest piece of cs away! I used a sliver of background paper for under my buttons! It adds some color. I can always find a use for paper somewhere!
Don't you love this ribbon! The cricut makes cutting these ribbons out so easy! Our little booklets that come with the cartridges show you step by step how to fold these ribbons. Its 1-2-3 and they are put together!
Again, if you missed my classes - you can purchase the kits - contact me and I will be glad to help you out.
