Recent card workshop artwork
As our cheer season is winding down, I now have a little more time to get myself organized so you'll be seeing several new posts over the next few days. The card workshop was for Happy Birthday cards. Here you go!
You'll see there's some smudging on the final card but after 8 tries even a consultant says "it's just a sample," lol. So, here's a little contest to see who's paying attention. ;) Comment below telling me which card is your favorite & why and I'll draw a name from those to win a goodie from me! Contest ends April 14th at midnight.

Picture My Life scrapbooking program twist
Many scrapbookers are not familiar with one of our newest scrapbooking programs. Using the Picture My Life kits, you can create super fast & still creative scrapbook pages. Memory protectors with 4"x6" and 3"x4" pockets allow you to simply add these kit cards and pictures in to have a completed album in no time. Each kit contains 44 4"x6" double-sided cards (2 each of 22 designs), 78 3"x4" double-sided cards (3 each of 26 designs), one 12"x12" designed cover sheet and 10 memory protectors. Shown here is the Seaside kit:
Not only will you have enough materials for an entire album but you'll have cards left to create other projects as well. For example, these cards were made using the Skylark Picture My Life kit.
Not only will you have enough materials for an entire album but you'll have cards left to create other projects as well. For example, these cards were made using the Skylark Picture My Life kit.
By adding just a few simple embellishments, card making because fast & fun! You can leave the insides of the cards blank, stamp a sentiment, or even use another of the PML cards.
With over 12 different kits, the varieties are endless. These are great accents to use on traditional scrapbook pages & mini albums as well. Check them out on my website at www.shellyv.ctmh.com under Shop and then Picture My Life. A fabulous value at just $24.95.
Card in a Box
Want an eye-popping card to mail to a dear friend? Try this card in a box. This box folds flat and fits into a standard invitation size envelope.
Again, I LOVE our Cricut cartridges and this stamp set comes with the Artiste collection. Stamps that coordinate onto cuts from the cartridge make this project all the more fun. This box is LOTS easier than it looks and you can find instructions on YouTube. There are so many variations and sizes to create something for anyone. Have fun with this!
More club artwork
In an effort to get more artwork on the blog, I'm posting more of our recent club projects.
This beautiful layout was created by another consultant who was kind enough to share with us to re-create. Using the Ariana paper pack, Hollyhock cardstock & ink pad, Crystal Blue cardstock & ink pad, White Daisy cardstock, bronze shimmer tape, and gold polka dot washi tape. Washi tape is translucent so whatever is applied to will show through. To create a look showing only the washi tape design, apply is onto white cardstock and cut as desired. The stamp set is one of the Cricut Artbooking sets. Finally, to create the cabbage rose (lower left corner), punch a scallop circle out of B&T (patterned) paper, spray with water in one of our spray pens and crumple. When they dry, gently pull them open in varying degrees and layer together. A super simple & fun way to create flowers in all kinds of patterns & colors.Sunday, September 7, 2014
