Make Waves Workshop

Today I'm excited to share with you my

Make Waves Workshop!

Honestly, I was unsure of this paper pack because of the mermaids. I'm so glad that I got this paper pack because I fell in LOVE! The mermaids, the flowers, the embellishments that complement this paper pack! OH MY GOODNESS!

Just a touch of mermaid on this one! Check out the white glitter embellishments and that teal shimmer trim. "This is a girl with a head full of magical dreams, a heart full of wonder & hands that will shape the world."

Touches of pink for this one gives it just that subtle amount of girlie! "Be You! Be Strong! Be Brave! Be Fearless!"

I really like this pattern paper, how it flows from purple to blue! I'm loving the black accent with them as well. Gives it just a touch to break up all the femininity going on!

Flower power! Purple, pink and teal shimmer trim! What more can you ask for with this one. LOVE LOVE LOVE these white glitter flower embellishments!

Simple Layout

Ok, so I started thinking that I would prep for the craft fair in June!  I was going through all my old stash of papers and thinking that creating some simple layouts to sell would be a good idea!  So tonight I put together the first of many to come!  It feels good to be creating again!

I created the layout from the CTMH Make it from the Heart Volume 1 book.  It is a very simple design because I'm trying to keep the costs low to entice buyers at the craft fair.  I've done this craft fair twice now.  The first was a huge flop because I went trying to get my name out there.  I set up my tables with display boards to show what Close To My Heart was.  I had my card classes and my workshops listed to try and find people to sign up for them.  No one did.  So the winter one I went in trying to sell Christmas cards, bows and tags.  Unfortunately it was a flop as well.

But I'm hopeful!  I'm going to keep trying and I'm going to keep putting my name out there!  I will find crafters and I will find those who are interested in coming to classes or crops!

Wedding Album Layouts

So today I got to be creative!  Slowly but surly I will get my wedding album completed!  Today I pulled out all my Sonoma papers and my photos, grabbed my Magic book and off I went!

Today was time to put together pages all about the bride!  ME!!  I really love this layout combination!

Sorry, the second photo didn't crop so nicely ... One of these days I'll get better at it!  But yeah, in the midst of planning for a Christmas trade fair, I managed to put together these layouts!  It's getting closer to being completed!

Creativity Time for Me

So I finally got some time to create this weekend!  It felt so good to actually make some progress on my wedding album!  I really love the Sonoma colours and they fit so well with my wedding colours!

Sorry for my crappy cropping and picture taking!  I will get better :)  I haven't done that in quite some time now!

These ones I actually completed some time ago ... I was just waiting to get a 5x7 picture printed.  I also had to decide what to put on the purple strip.  I cut the strips out with the AP Cartridge!

These are some of my favorite photos of my hubby and the best man!  Again I'm loving the AP Cartridge!

These last two I did quite some time ago as well.  I just am really bad at taking photo's and posting on the blog!

Either way ... I now have 10 full pages completed for my wedding album!  I'm hoping to get a few more completed next weekend because I've got friends coming over to just play!  Going to be a good time!

Sonoma WOTG Part 2

So I created the second set of pages for this workshop! I really love the colours and can't wait to post more and more with them!

Ok, here is the second page! I've got two more pages just about complete! I'm just waiting to get some more of the cardstocks so that I can continue to create!

CTMH - Somona WOTG

Hey all! So this kit is going to be my absolute favorite! I'm going to create my entire wedding album with this paper packet!

This is the Workshop that I tried to have on the 17th of September, but due to slow shipping and incompatible days of getting together ... LOL ... it is finally happening tomorrow! I got anxious though and put my first two pages together. I'll be posting the next two pages soon enough!

CTMH You and Me Kit

This was the You and Me kit that Close To My Heart had. It was a great kit to create and the proceeds went to a great cause! Do you remember all the flooding, tornados and storms across the United States? Well proceeds from this kit went to help out those in need!

I had fun creating this kit! Now all I have to do is add my photos!

Hope you like the outcome!
