My Butterfly

This layout was inspired from a similar one in our New Idea book for Summer which is available in May. I can't wait to put some pictures of Kylie on this layout. Colors used were Amethyst, Baby Pink, Blush, and Bamboo. This is another layout that will only be $3 for club members and $4 for nonmembers. Contact me for details.

Extra layouts for April

Emily Cunningham took these great pictures of Kylie and Blake in their easter attire on her farm. Thanks Emily! The layout is from CTMH's great Imagine book. If you don't have it, you definately need it! I made the yellow background on white paper with the rubber brayer and Sunkiss Yellow ink. Other colors used were Crystal Blue and Key Lime. You can make this layout for just $3 if you are in the hostess club or for $4 for nonmembers.

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.
