April Hostess Club Layout

I can't believe this little boy is going to be two in July! As you can see I'm soooo behind! This layout was pretty much lifted from one of my talented downlines Autumn Boblitt. Papers and colors used were Stardust, Topiary, Sunflower, and Moonstruck. Stamp sets were Star Struck and Believe in Your Dreams. I used our great white embossing powder to make the star pop in the upper left hand corner. Want to make this layout? Join my hostess club or contact me for details.

Jan Layout "Emporium"

I'm trying to catch up! Here's January's layout with Emporium papers, Garden Green, Twilight, and Buttercup. Lots of distressing on this one. I know, I have no pictures on this one either! I promise to do better. Wait until you see the Feb FREE layout! Yes, I typed FREE. I'm hosting at my house this Thursday for anyone interested in the hostess club or just wants to check out Close to my Heart.

Dec Layout "Joy and Merry"

I know it's been a long time! This was the December layout for my hostess club members. I was inspired by the new catalog. I'm a good copier :) I love using 8x10 pictures sometimes in layouts. As you can see I still need to finish the rest of the layout! Papers are Evensong with Cranberry and Evergreen. I used the Cricut for the letters in the layout.

February's FREE stamp set promo!

November club layout

I love embossing, but I don't do it near enough. Now pair embossing with sparkles and snowflakes! I love the whimsical feel of the sparkly snowflakes paired with the adorable pictures of Kylie and her daddy! Colors used are Vineyard Berry, Twilight, Desert Sand, and Colonial White. I got my inspiration from the November stamp of the month layout in the current catalog. This month's with the snowman is too cute! I couldn't spare many of the photos of them playing so I printed them in wallet size so they'd all fit. I used my cricut teardrop cartridge for the "frosted." For the stitching, I used the Simple Stitches stamp set. It's a must have since I seem to use it all the time.

Halloween Layout

Sorry that I've been a slacker of a poster! I promise to do better. I have been working on several projects this weekend that I promise to post soon. I can't wait to show you the Perfect Day Workshop layouts, you will love them! I finally got to play with our new clear album and it's so much fun. That will be another workshop soon!

Anyway about this layout....I love the Creepy cobwebs stamp! That huge web is fun and a little tricky to do, but I can show you exactly how! I used Desert sand, Pansy Purple, and Goldrush. I got the idea from a recent Becky Higgins sketch in CK. The little pics are 3x3 except for the few that pop out when I didn't want to trim out a key feature. So a good example of not having to always follow the rules!

I went to a Christmas Bazaar this weekend in Harrodsburg and met some fun new scrapbookers. Hopefully, some of them will join us soon!
