Button Borders

Another preview of the layouts we will be doing in our October workshops using the Grace My Reflections Paper Kit.  The button borders are created with the basic buttons and crystal blue waxy flax and add a playful element to these pages.  If you are interested in doing this workshop, email me by Thursday October 8th.  Workshop dates are posted on the right column of this page.

Heartfelt Wonders

Grace is a rich paper packet to use because of its diversity. For this page, I inclorporated the Heartfelt Wonder Die Cuts. This set comes with three sheets, features fall and winter images, and adds dimension and texture. I accented the flourishes with matching brads.

Fall is coming with Grace

The Grace paper packet is rich with earth tones. I was surprised how well it worked for these water photos. This layout is featured in the "workshop on the go" kit from Close to My Heart. The kit includes a 22 piece paper packet, a stamp set (flourish images) only available in the kit, a set of Rustic Edge Anchors, and a trifold brochure with a new patterns for layouts and cards. the kit has a retail value of $33.85 but is sold for $29.95. It is only available through Dec 31, 2009. Contact me for details on how you can earn this kit for half price!

Jingle All The Way

Each month I host a "team time" workshop for consultants on my team and those I have adopted. This month we decided to do a card swap. It is so much fun to see the creative ideas these ladies came up with from the parameters I gave them: colors of the Jingle My Reflection Kit and a current holiday stamp set. Wow! They are beautiful! Thanks ladies for sharing your ideas!

Family Cabin Time

This summer we spent a week at our cabin and different family groups came and went through out the week. Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and lots of fun! Once more, Twitterpated was the paper packet of choice! This layout was inspired by a consultant on our corporate website. (I apologize but I can't find your name.) I love all the ideas these ladies share. Enjoy!
