January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop is HERE!!!

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! Can you BELIEVE it's already 2011!! I'm still scratching my head wondering where the heck 2010 went!  Well, to start off the new year, we will be featuring January's SOTM, which is "Find Your Style" a set of 9 stamps. These stamps are simply amazing, and I had a LOT of fun playing with them, so be sure to check out my additional post featuring MORE artwork!

This is the GORGEOUS stamp set that we had to work with this month!  I hope you love it as much as I do!


And here is my creation.  I just love how this Pacifica stamped bird pops on the background. Read more for details!

I was able to learn this amazing "faux wood" technique by watching a video created by the VERY talented fellow CTMH Consultant, Tracey Mason!  You can view this "how to" video HERE. I am surrounded by so many talented people in my Close To My Heart family.  Let me know if YOU would like to join our family as well!

Wow, Studio J!! What? You don't know what Studio J is?

Have you played with Studio J?  Do you know what Studio J is? Welllllll, let me fill you in!  If you visit my Close To My Heart Website there is a link to go to Studio J Online Scrapbooking!  Now, GET THIS...Studio J is completely FREE for you to try out and play with, it does NOT download anything to your computer, so no worries about viruses or slowing your computer down, and you can create to your heart's content, all at NO COST to you!

Never thought you would do online scrapbooking? Well, I have a few girls who needed a gift, or thought they were not creative enough to do the traditional paper scrapbooking...they now LOVE Studio J!

Here are a few of the pages I have created with Studio J...




Can you imagine? These were so fun, so easy, and took limited time to create! And did I mention, NO MESS to clean up afterwards?  Although I do not see myself ever going completely to online scrapbooking, it sure is fun to do.  I was able to order two copies of the tubing pages, and the pages of my nephew so that I could give them to my son's girlfriend Kayla, and my sister!  Easy peasy! Create it once, order two copies to give as gifts!

So, have some fun, go check it out. It costs you NOTHING unless you decide you love your pages so much you HAVE TO order the prints :).  You can purchase individually, or I do have details available on discounted 5 packs, a 3 month membership, or a full year membership. 

What does the membership do for you?  It allows you to purchase your layouts at HALF PRICE, receive FREE shipping once a month on qualified orders, receive page protectors for your new pages you have created, gives you access to member exclusive paper packs AND page patterns...WOW!

Contact me if you wish to receive more details! You may purchase your 5 packs and memberships through me, or right online through my website.  Now, run and play! It's so user friendly and a blast to play with!

Daddy, Mommy & Baby Isabella...

These ADORABLE pages are part of the January Wings Workshop on the Go, being held Saturday, January 8th, 2011, 10 am - 2 pm.  Deadline to pre-pay, pre-register for this workshop is Tuesday, December 28, 1020.  I will post MORE artwork for this workshop soon, but wanted to get these pages up since I totally LOVE them!

These pages feature one of my beautiful stepdaughters, Lacy, her fiance Alex, and their precious baby girl, Isabella Marie, due February 5, 2011! So excited to meet our granddaughter soon...

Creating with "Wings"

ONE of the MANY awesome benefits of being a Close To My Heart Consultant is that I am allowed a "preview" period before new products are released to the public!!  I have been VERY BUSY being creative with a LOVELY paper pack "Wings" that will be available to all of you come January 1st!  Be sure to see me for the January mini-catalog with AWESOME deals in it that include this fantastic paper pack!



In these pages, you will see our "Flip Flaps" featured also.  "The Shoes" is a 4" x 6" Flip Flap, and the pages themselves feature the 6" x 12" Flip Flaps.  This is an AWESOME way to expand your space for more pictures. 

Don't forget to watch my blog for the January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop which will feature the adorable stamp set used in these pages as well!

My lastest creative attempt...

My oldest stepdaughter, Lacy, is blessing us with a granddaughter soon.  I had the pleasure of throwing her a baby shower back on December 5th.  I wanted to share with all of you what I created for her.
This is her diaper baby.  I am very pleased with how she turned out, especially since this was my first ever made! It was a lot of fun choosing the outfit, and teaching myself how to make them!  I also made her a diaper cake, which was also a lot of fun!  The diaper baby I made in size 1 diapers, and the cake in size 2.

I am very excited and can't WAIT to meet our precious granddaughter, Isabella Marie!

NEW!! Clubhouse Punch Cards!

You've asked.....and now they are HERE!!!!  My Creative Clubhouse now has TWO new punch cards! That's right, more ways for YOU to save!

The first is a punch card for CLUBHOUSE HOURS!  Yep, the $5.00 per hour "Clubhouse Time" that I offer ANYTIME My Creative Clubhouse is open!  You come in to work on your own projects and use the multitude of tools I have to share with all of you! You get a 6 foot table ALL to yourself, the use of ALL non-consumables...over 900 My Acrylix Stamp Sets, wood stamp sets,  many cutting devices such as Cuttlebug with embossing folders and dies, many Nestabilites, punches, THREE ink towers filled with 60 ink colors with coordinating markers....and did I mention TWO Cricut Expression Machines with well over 100 Cricut Cartridges!!



Which leads me to the second punch card!  Currently, the Cricut Cartridges can be rented for $10.00 for a 24 hour period.  NOW, rent 5 cartridges and you have two options for your FREE (6th) rental.  You may keep the cartridge you rent for your 5th for an extra 24 hour period, OR you may use it to get a 6th cartridge rental  for FREE!  You will receive a punch for each 24 hour period you rent for! Rent a cartridge for 2 days, get two punches!  Keep your eyes open...I will be adding a list of all the Cricut Cartridges that have a home at My Creative Clubhouse and are here for you to rent!



Ok, I have to say, this card is STINKIN' CUTE!!!  I found this adorable logo at 3.bp.blogspot.com and couldn't help but use it!

I hope you all enjoy the added perks!  Feel free to contact me anytime with suggestions.  Although I have named it "My" Creative Clubhouse, in reality I want this to be "Our" Creative Clubhouse!

October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our OCTOBER Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! WOW, this year sure is flying by!  We will be featuring October's Stamp of the Month, which is "Share the Magic" (D1443), a set of 12 jolly stamps.

If you have come here from Terrie Dodd's Blog you are on the right track!!  Wasn't Terrie's creation GREAT!?!
 
This month we have many, many Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's stamp of the month and other great Close To My Heart products on their blogs. You will be sure to enjoy yourself hopping along!  Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, take that "me time" that we all know is long over due, and enjoy the journey!!  This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!
 
This month, I chose to use the "Share the Magic" My Acrylix Stamp Set to complete the last page of the Summer Stamp Camp classes I hold at My Creative Clubhouse with kids ages 8-12 and 13-18!  This is a 9" x 9" page, and I used a pattern from the Reflections "How To" Program! What fun I had using this adorable stamp set! It was so hard to choose what image I was going to use... 

I ask you, WHO will be able to resist this adorable stamp set?  I see GREAT sales this month because everyone is sure to want to get this set for FREE!

And now for MY creation......drum roll please......(can you tell I'm in a GREAT mood while I am creating this post)  :)


Now, hop on over and take a look at Mary Eisen's Blog to see what she has created.  THIS lady has all sorts of tricks up her sleeve, and they are usually pretty amazing.  To see the items used in creating my page above, continue to read on.

Items used:
D1443- Share the Magic My Acrylix Stamp Set
9031- Reflections Scrapbook Program
X7103B- Mistletoe Level 2 Paper Packet
1385- White Daisy Cardstock
1272- Cranberry Cardstock

Z2319- Dutch Blue Exclusive Inks Marker

Z1313- Glitz Stardust Glitter Glue
Z308- Liquid Applique

TIPS:  I used the Glitz Stardust Glitter Glue on the furry areas of Santa's outfit, and the snowflake patters on the strips of paper at the top of the page.  The Liquid Applique was used for Santa's beard & moustache!  Remember when using Liquid Applique not to over heat it if you are using a heat gun for more "puff" or it will turn it brown!!  Just want a little "puff"? Allow it to air dry instead of using heat! Now have fun creating your own amazing artwork...to order your items, visit my website HERE.

Happy Stamping everyone!

We will then take our beautiful random stamped paper (this was painful for me to have to cut it) and create this gorgeous two page 12x12 layout.  I don't know about you, but I LOVE the autumn colors!  They are soothing to me.  In this layout, we will have room for five pictures, AND...
HIDDEN journaling! That's right, we will also use this gorgeous stamp set to create a "pull" for our hidden journaling! This sunflower will be the "pull" to reveal out personal thoughts about the pictures we show on this layout.  Let me walk you through step by step on how to create this layout.
When:  Thursday, August 19th, 11 am - 1 pm OR 6 pm - 8 pm
Where: My Creative Clubhouse, 132 N Main Street, West Bend, WI
Cost: $15.00 (all supplies included)

August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

WELCOME to this month's Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  We are featuring Something Splendid, a set of 13 images and sentiments.  If you have arrived here from Beth Nauman's Blog, you are on the right track!!  I have to say, as much as I LOVE sunflowers, I wasn't sure where to begin.  So, I started by random stamping!  This page turned out so beautiful that I didn't want to cut it!  At this point, I knew I had to do something, so I closed one eye (needed to make sure my cuts were right so I had to leave an eye open) and began cutting.

Boy, am I HAPPY I took that chance because I created THESE pages with that random stamped sheet...I am extremely pleased with how they turned out.  I do have to say that the Autumn color pallette is my favorite, hands down.  Now to dig out photos to put on here, and I know EXACTLY which ones I will be looking for (yes, I STILL need to organize my photos pre-scrapbooking addiction). 


In the spirit of the new How-To Book "Magic" being released for sale in the upcoming Fall/Winter Idea Book, I even made a place for hidden journaling!  See how I used the stamped image as the "pull"!  Oh yeah! Did I mention I'm extremely happy with how these turned out? Hehehe.....




Giving a sneak peek at a new product coming out next month, I have taken the piece of the random stamped sheet that I had left after making the above pages, and created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" clear acrylic card!  We had the pleasure of playing with these at the 2010 Close To My Heart Convention in DC earlier this month!  These are great, can't wait to showcase them at my Fall Festival Open House...

This is how the card looks closed...


And this is an opened view!  Love, love, love these cards!  Now, you will want to hop on over to see what the talented Carol Horton has in store for you!
