Scrapbooking Grandpa's Rain

I love how Close To My Heart creates such beautiful layout patterns and by adding our own pictures, we can make it so special for our own scrapbook! This layout is the featured layout with the CTMH Splendor paper. It went together so well, and I love how it turned out. Of course, Natalie's reaction is the best - "me and rain" :) I plan to add the journaling on the left side of the 8 x 8 photo using vellum paper.

Want to create some pages with the Splendor paper? I have 2 classes this week and I would love to have you join the fun. For those unable to attend, I also put together kits for you to complete on your own. Just leave me a note and we can work out the details.

Scrapbooking Artwork

I thought I would share another display board of artwork with you tonight. The paper that I used for this layout is a new Close To My Heart Level 2 paper pack that will be featured in the Fall / Winter Idea Book. Also if you look closely, you will see some new embellishments. Want to see more of the paper pack? Check back tomorrow - I will post more pictures then.

5 days of FUN!

Yes, the Close To My Heart convention was an awesome experience. I had such a great time catching up with all of my CTMH friends. It is hard to believe that it is over. While I didn't post too much the last few months, it was because I was prepping for teaching a class at Extravaganza - a very special teaching workshop for all of the convention attendees. My topic title was Irresistable Adorable Idea's. I will be sharing many of the ideas in my upcoming workshops.

This picture is one of the boards that I created for my class - yes, it is Natalie when she was about 6 months old.

I have missed blogging, so look for some more artwork and ideas to come soon!

Happy July and More

I hope that all of you had a very safe and Happy 4th of July. Just couldn't resist adding this picture of Natalie that I took after the parade. She really enjoyed the parade and enjoyed collecting candy, beads and seeing the fire trucks and dogs. Doesn't this popsicle look refreshing?

The evening scrapbooking workshop on July 28th will be using the Splendor paper - such fun summer paper! Email me today to sign up for this workshop.

This is page one of the Cherry O scrapbooking workshop that was held in June. Would you like to create this layout? I will be repeating the workshop on July 28th in the morning workshop. I also have some kits available for those who would like to create this layout on their own.

The card stamping workshop in July is on the 21st for the morning class and the 22nd for the evening class. We will be creating some fun projects, with some featuring the adorable hedgehogs in the Stamp of the Month.

Tomorrow I leave for Washington D.C. and the Close To My Heart convention. I will enjoy the time away with consultants from all over the U.S. and Canada. This is my time to learn, create and be inspired!
