This month I created a Journal tag for a Christmas swap with my ASP girls!!!!
I stamped the house in New England Ivy, with a Cocoa roof and Cranberry Door. The bricks are stamped in second generation in Cranberry. I used my blender pen to color in the roof and chimney! Then I used liquid applique on the roof line to give it a wintery touch!
The Tree stamp is from Holiday Trinkets and is popped off to the side and topped with a little bling! The journal lines come from the Noteworthy set, stamped in Cocoa!
The whole thing is matted on the reverse side of the Presents paper in the Jingle Level 2 paper pack!

Supplies:
SOTM- Around the Block
Holiday Trinkets
Noteworthy
Cocoa, Cranberry, New England Ivy ink
Blender pen
Sparkles
Liquid applique
Level 2 Jingle

Classic pieces of CTMH Artwork or Studio J created pieces of artwork...can you tell??!!??

I can't believe what an amazing job Jeanette and her team at Close to My Heart have done in creating this awesome new scrapbooking software. Go to http://www.studioj.com to learn all about it. Don't forget to sign up for the email list while you are there - you'll be entered into a contest to win a free My Legacy Album!

I was able to order this awesome layout to show off what Studio J can do. I can't wait to get online to create layouts using pictures of my family with it. I love to do the classic scrapbooking as I love the embellishments and getting my hands dirty. However, I think it will also be fun to do some Studio layouts to mix up my albums a little. What I am most excited about is that I can do this from anywhere (maybe even work.... shhhhh!!!!) In addition to that, real embellishments can be added to these to give them that traditional scrapbooking feel!

Are you as excited as I am? If you are, NOW is the time to sign up to be a Close to My Heart Consultant.
Here's the deal:
It will cost you only $99 to get started, and you'll get a kit with over $300 in products.

When you successfully complete both levels in our exclusive program designed to kick-start your business, Straight To The Top, you’ll receive even more than the STTT reward of $150 in free select products. You’ll also receive 10 FREE Studio J scrapbook layouts!

When you do the math, it is $480 in free product! How cool is that!!??!! Even better, Close to My Heart Consultants will get to use Studio J in January, a full two months before it will be released to the public.
You can learn more about the Close to My Heart Consultant Opportunity on MyCTMH website at roxybonds.myctmh.com.

Act fast! This offer is only good until Saturday, October 31!

Double click on the pictures below to get a closer look at these gorgeous layouts.

CTMH-- Christmas Card

I just have to rave about these! Every year I search and search, look through Originals and now Wishes for the perfect Christmas Card! I love making them and need almost 100, so I was really looking hard for something that would work with a photo and obviously would not be too tough to make tons of them....

One day, voila, I went to Nona's blog (which I frequent) and she was GIVING AWAY a Christmas Card Template away! AWESOME! I fell in love with it and knew that this was it!

Now I'm not sure if this is the actual photo that I will send out with these cards, but this one looks pretty cute for demonstration purposes :)




Supplies:
All CTMH unless noted
Jingle Level 2 paper
White Daisy Cardstock
Twinkle brads
Holiday Trinkets Stamps
Sugar Coated Cardstock (doodlebug)

Some changes I made to her template/instructions:
I used my cricut to cut a snowflake out of sugar coated (glittered) paper and put Twinkle brads through the center. The snowflakes are popped off the red swirl paper. This small change allowed these cards to be made for much less $$!

These were a huge hit with my customers!!!!!

Check out Nona's blog to download the template! Email me for details on how to create these yourself, or order the supplies you need!!!!!!
