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!

As the holidays draw near, we have been creating away here at My Creative Clubhouse.  Many of you saw the Christmas Book at our Open House, Diva Night, and Fall Fest and have asked when we will be teaching this.  Well, it is scheduled!!  For those of you that have not seen the book in person, here is a little teaser!

This book was created by my awesome friend and downline, Vickie Tagatz!  Way to go Vickie! The customers LOVE IT!  I have to tell you all that Vickie was very nervous taking on this book, but didn't she do an AWESOME job?!?  I think so!

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.

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

X7103B- Mistletoe Level 2 Paper Packet

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!
