Necklace Buffet

CTMH has a new necklace in their Base and Bling collection and I have put together a NECKLACE BUFFET with it.  I take the buffet with me when I set up at Vendor events as well as some of my Home Gatherings.  Anyone who wants can purchase and put together a necklace and take it home with them right then!  The cost is $15 and you get 1 chain, 1 pendant, 1 glass cover, and 3 charms.   You can also choose one of the stickers CTMH has provided or bring your own picture to put in the pendant.  I have even seen them made with just a piece of pretty paper in the pendant!  A necklace can be put together in just a few minutes and they make great gifts too!  If you are interested in a necklace contact me and we will work out some details to get you one!

Ivy Lane Layout

Here is a layout I made recently using the Close To My Heart IVY LANE paper packet.  I love the paper in this pack, it is lots of fun to work with and the colors are great!

I used the COTTON CANDY cardstock as well as Cotton Candy, Sweet Leaf, and Smokey Plum INKS .  The pattern came from the Close To My Heart REFLECTIONS how-to book.  The sketch is called Quilt Blocks.  I used the CTMH Cricut cartridge ART PHILOSOPHY to cut the flowers and stem/leaves.  Now all this layout needs is the perfect picture!
Come back soon to see more of my projects using CTMH products from the Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book.  You can shop my website for these things plus lots more at www.scrappinwithj.ctmh.com .

FROSTED Christmas Cards

Here are some sample cards I have made with the FROSTED paper pack from Close To My Heart.  I still have some more in mind I want to make, but this is my start!!

It has been cloudy here for a few days so my pictures didn't turn out real good as far as the color goes.  They are a lot prettier in person!  What do you think of the cards?  Check back soon as there will be more done soon....I hope!

More 'SPARKLE AND SHINE'

Hello my crafty friends!  Thanks for stopping by today!  The tea is on so grab a cup and relax! 
Today I am going to show you some of the Christmas cards I have been making using Close To My Heart's SPARKLE AND SHINE papers.  These papers are so much fun and  I have really been enjoying making my cards with them.  I am also having a Chrstmas Card Workshop on Nov. 17 and those attending get to choose from the Sparkle and Shine papers or the Frosted papers.  (for more information on the workshop, give me a shout!)  I have to stop playing with this paper for a while now and make some sample cards using the Frosted!!  Anyhow, back to these cards.....I have used the SANTA CLAUS stamp set (which I love!), the TRIM THE TREE set, and CHRISTMAS VILLAGE.   Let me know what you think of the cards!

The idea to have the Santa tumbling came from one of the other CTMH consultants, I can't remember who or I would give credit to her!
Thanks for stopping by, stay as long as you would like and check back in soon to see the cards I am working on using the Frosted papers!   Please feed my fish  over there >>>>> as they get hungry if I haven't stopped in!
Happy Craftin!
