Christmas Book Workshop

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!

This workshop will be held Saturday, December 11th, 10 am - 2 pm.  The cost is $25.00.  You must Pre-Register and Pre-Pay for this workshop no later than Wednesday, November 24th so that I can order all of the supplies!  Great way to get your holiday pictures into a themed mini book!

My Creative Clubhouse accepts payment in the form of cash, personal check, Visa, & Mastercard! Hope to see many of you there!

Mix 'N Mingle Workshop

Looking for new decor to help spruce up your home for the holidays? Now, you can join this workshop and CREATE YOUR OWN decor!!  We will be making this beautiful Mix 'N Mingle mini album to use during Thanksgiving and Christmas!  That's right, dual purpose, gotta love it!

Thanks to inspiration from my awesomely creative CTMH sistah, Annette Green, I have created the above workshop!  This Workshop will be held Tuesday, November 16th, 6 pm - 8 pm.  The cost is $18.00.  You will need to Pre-Register and Pre-Pay no later than Friday, November 5th so that I can order the supplies needed!

Hope to see you there!

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

Z2328- Hollyhock Exclusive Inks Marker

Z2319- Dutch Blue Exclusive Inks Marker

Z2342- Parchment 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!

Enjoy Life Scrap Class

This class is going to be SO much fun!  I will begin by teaching you the art of random stamping.  Yes, you got it, this page was created BY ME with STAMPS!  Nobody else will have a pattern paper exactly like mine because they cannot go buy it ANYWHERE!  How awesome is that?  Think of the possibilities, of how unique YOUR pages can be by learning this extremely versatile technique!

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)

Space is limited, so reserve your seat NOW.  Unable to make the class, but want to create this layout yourself at home? Kits are available for purchase.  Stop in or call 262-338-CLUB (2582).

Do you just LOVE this stamp set and HAVE TO have it for your very own? GREAT NEWS! This is the August 2010 Stamp of the Month! Ask me how you can purchase it at a discount, or even get it for FREE!
