September Scrapbook Nights

This month we will be working with the Scholastic paper. We will be making 2 two page layouts with the paper and some extra embellishments.

The cost for this workshop is $25. You will receive the Scholastic level 2 paper pack, Noted Canvas shapes and Canvas Alphabet. You will get to keep all the material that are not used on these two pages for you to make other projects with.

I will offer this class three times this month.

September 17th at 7:00PM in Katy

*Please let me know if you are interested in attending as I will need to have time to order in the materials for this class.

Plate & More Workshop

Come out and join me in making personalized plates and bowls. These make great gifts or are the perfect thing for those kids that have unique names who never get a personalized item. All you have to do is come out and stamp your design on a special paper and then I will send it off to be processed. The final product will be back in about 3 weeks time. . I will have a wide variety of stamps and themes that you can choose from. The cost is $12 each for the plates and $12 for the bowls. Now is a great time to get a jump start on Christmas gifts or up coming birthday gifts.

September 15th 4PM to 9PM

Customer Open House

We had a great time on Saturday kicking off the new Fall/ Winter 2012 Close to my Heart idea book. It was really great to see some people that I have not seen in a while.

While getting a chance to get some discontinued product at a great discount they were also able to see all the new product.

We also had a great time making a fun make and take using the new Cricut Artiste. We made a cupcake holder.

 These cute little cupcakes were made by my friend Catherine who has started her own company CraftyCatherine. She makes all kinds of wonderful treats and goodies. Please take a moment to check out her facebook page here.  I know that she would really love to hear from you all.

This cute little box can make sharing a sweat treat that much more delicious.

Thanks again to all those that attending this fun event. If you were not able to attend and would like to get a catalog, please contact me so we can make arrangements.

Studio J Fun

Close to my Heart has made some wonderful changes to the Studio J program. I am so excited to share some of them with you. First off they no longer require membership to get the best pricing. All  customers will get the very best pricing and all the advantages that came with being a member. They have added some wonderful Studio J exclusive paper packs and exciting new layouts.

Express Collections

The next exciting thing they have added are express collections. They have taken out some the time in laying out the pages and made it even fast. These collections consist of 10 two page layouts and a cover/back page. So that is a total of 11 pages. It make creating a album so fast.

All you have to do on these pages is load your photos and drag and drop them where you would like them.

The album the I chose to do was an All About Me album. The hardest part for me on this album was to find pictures of me.

These pages already have titles on them so I just added the journaling  where I needed. That is one of my favorite parts of Studio J is have complete pages with journaling on them when I am finished. That rarely happens when I scrapbook.

  

With these pages being so easy to do I was able to complete this project in just a few hours. I love being able to start a project like this and be able to finish it in no time at all. 

 On the My Dream page I was able to change the title to work more for my pictures. These pages are so wonderful and they still leave you with plenty of ways to customize them for your needs. 

There are 6 different Express Collections right now. They all have different themes. The best part about them is you don't have to stick to just one collection, you can make pages from any of them to complete your project along with doing some custom pages. 

If you haven't check out this free application to make pages I would suggest you do so now.

Convention 2012

We had a wonderful time in Dallas this past week. It was so nice to have convention in our part of the country. They made sure that convention was Texas sized fun for all.

This is a picture of all the Stamping Sisters that were in attendance. The Adina Godin is the leader of the Stamping Sisters and one of the best uplines you could ask for. This is the largest group we have had in a while. I am sure being able to just zoom up to Dallas helped.

This picture is of all my downline (The Stamping Friends Team) that were able to attend. It was a blast to get to know some of these ladies better. Thanks to my great team for making it a fun time.

We have so many new and wonderful products coming out I can't wait to show them all to you.  I am working on setting up a open house that will probably take place the first weekend in August. So get ready to be blown away with all the wonderful new items.

Also if you are interested I still have spots at my Scrapbook Retreat. Please see the post for that below.
