Hubby Scraps!

Well, today I had a scrapbook workshop scheduled at my home and at the last minute I had several cancellations.  I think hubby felt bad that my guest list had dwindled so he did the sweetest thing -- he showed up at the door with photos in hand pretending to be a workshop participant!  After I hugged him and thanked him for being the sweetest guy ever, he kept with the charade and really wanted me to sit down and help him learn how to scrapbook his photos.  Surprisingly, he REALLY got into it!  Here are the pics to prove it ~ now I'll have my own pictures to make into a layout!

Catch Up with Studio J!

The year is winding to an end.  Do you have tons of pictures from the past 10 months stuck on your computer or digital camera?  Overwhelmed by the idea of printed the pictures and then creating hand-made layouts with them?  It is not exaggeration to tell you I completed an ENTIRE album in one afternoon using Studio J, Close To My Heart's online scrapbooking site.  It is unbelievably easy, fast, and beautiful!  You even get to customize colors, embellishments, journaling fonts and more!  You must try this digital method of scrapbooking today!  Click here to give it a try!


Happy Scrapping!

Holiday cards

Once November arrives, I always think of how the end of the year will fly right on by!  Those last weeks usually include sending some sort of holiday greeting and sometimes they're handcrafted.  I thought I'd share a few recent cards to spark some creativity.  Enjoy!

 The above card was made with the "Roxie" paper pack and coordinating embellishments.

 This thank-you card was made using "Dreamin'" paper, clear and wooden buttons and waxy flax.

I used one of my favorite paper collections to make this card.  It's "Wonderland" and combines non-traditional winter colors, chocolate and blue.  A bling brad tops the striped grosgrain ribbon.

 This baby card is made on the clear card set with "Elemental" paper.  Very different!

For this card, I used the circular die-cut cards, "Sonoma" paper, and lots of stamping!

Contact me if you'd like to make any of these cards or start your own holiday card-making!
