Irresistibles

These chipboard embellishments have a resist pattern that shows through when covered with ink, chalk, markers, or watercolors.  My favorite way to color them is with a sponge and ink.  I think the child in me comes out when I see the resist magically appear!  They are so much fun.  In addition to the numbers, you can find Irresistible Ecletic Alphabet.  I used those in my title here

New in the Fall/Winter Idea book is the Make It Count numbers.  I have used them here to celebrate my nephew's birthday.   In addition to the numbers, you can find Irresistible Ecletic Alphabet.  I used those here.



I also used the new clear 14 inch ruler with guide holes to create the faux stitching on the card.  The ruler also has a metal staight edge for craft knife cutting and 1 inch grid marks.  This is a must have tool in your papercrafting kit.

Typeset scrapbook workshop October 15th



Please excuse my photography.  This photo set seems a little dark to me.  Anyway, I love the Typeset papers.  (Ok I love all the paper packets in the new idea book.)  This page was inspired by Vicki W.  She has lovely artwork.  Although my photos are placed yet, they should be here soon so watch for an update, I used this layout to celebrate Alli who turned 15 and started high school.  In the workshop, we will create two more double page layouts.  To order your materials for this workshop or to create on your own, contact me

Workshop details: 
Saturday October 15th 7:00 p.m. (open crop starts 4:00)

Keep Dreamin'

Convention is one of the great benefits I love about being a Close to My Heart Consultant.  This year it was held in Disney to I took the fam!  They went to the park while I was at the meetings.  It seems strange that I would "miss" Disney for convention but really it was worth every minute.  I did get to go to the park one evening and well...that is another story.  Can you say Autopia?  Future scrapbook page. 

Anyway, because I wasn't with my family and I am the family photographer, the photos of the events while I was absent, are nil.  But here is what I have to share.

A Year in Cards Workshop October 7th.

It is so handy to have a card on hand that is perfect for the month or season!  Using the special
Pair-a-phrase set, I was inspired by Jen Rubio's event calendar workshop to create these 4x4 cards.  A little water coloring with a blending pen (very therapeutic) and some black embellishments and you will create a beautiful card set.  You may even want to give it as a gift...or just keep it for yourself. 

Join me for a workshop to create this set of cards.  Friday October 7th , you can come and create between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.  The workshop is $15.  Add a blending pen or archival black ink pad to use the water coloring technique at home.  RSVP by October 5th. 


Here's the photos of my creations.
