A Special Birthday Card

This is the Napkin Fold card I made for my daughter.  I used purples, because she likes that colour and so do I.   Kathy Skipper made this card style for an Operation Smile auction and I thought it was so beautiful, I wanted to make one.



sorry they are so dark.

Christmas Tags

Well here are the examples I made for the Christmas Tag workshops, Nov. 20th and Dec. 1st.    $15.00 to make 24 (plus more) tags in 4 hours.  Contact me if you would like to join us.


Remember, if you don't have that many gifts to put tags on, you can always package them and give them as gifts.  Or if you take a bottle of wine or a potluck item to a dinner party, attach a tag.

Studio J

The following is my first attempt at creating with Studio J, Close To My Heart's online scrapbooking.  It was a lot easier than I had thought and I had fun making these 5 layouts.  If you would like more information about Studio J, please contact me and let me show you how.

The 5 pictures on the bottom right are actually one photo;  a cool technique available only in Studio J.
These pictures were scanned to my computer and edited in Studio J to meet the pixel criteria.   Some of them are quite old!  See the argyle paper at the bottom of the left page and under the pictures on the right, well that was hand made online!  

 Some great pictures taken on a friend's phone of my son playing ball; perfect for Studio J scrapbooking.   I used the Typeset paper pack dragging in a lot of tags and stickease embellishments, even adding text to some of them.  

I really like Sonoma paper in the current Idea Book.  I love that I can drag the embellishments right on to my layouts online, including all of the stitching.  The copy and paste feature makes duplicating embellishments simple to do.

There is a lot of layering of the embellishments on this layout.  All the doilies/snowflakes have been added , cropped, resized and layered.   A fun layout to do and it didn't take much time at all

Click on the Studio J icon on my blog sidebar and try it for FREE.  All you have to do is 'start creating' once you are at the CTMH Studio J site.  If you want to save your work to play later, just open an account, no credit card necessary, and go back often.  When you are satisfied with your layout(s), you can order using my name as your consultant or contact me and I will walk you through the process.  If you have any questions, contact me and let me show you how.

Christmas Gift 2011

I really like this Events Calendar and it was so much fun to make.  I even stamped the backsides just to keep playing!  If you would like to make one, please contact me to order the Close To My Heart supplies and let me show you how.
