Base & Bling

I finally got around to making my base and bling necklace. I made one in May at a conference I attended and gave it to my daughter.
Now this one is for me.
When my order comes I will make one of the new ones. Maybe a rectangle or an oval. I am not sure yet.
Well maybe I will make both.

I am going to change how I connected the charms and have them hang from the chain instead of attaching them to the chain.

I am going to host a base and bling get together late August or early September. I will post the date and time once I know more.

I have cut all the paper to make some Christmas cards. The new workshop is quite nice. I will post the pictures as soon as I have them finished.  

I have my daughter coming this weekend and will be taking a milk paint class. I have the dresser cleaned and ready to take. I guess I won't get too much scrapbooking done this weekend. 

The New Catalogue

I am back from my holiday.  The weather is finally getting nice here. I thought I was going to freeze (a little exaggerated) as it was colder here than in Ireland.  I like to think we brought the nice weather back with us.   We had awesome weather while in Ireland.  I really enjoyed my time with my husband and my family from England.  

I have been getting caught up these past few days and have a few more things to do to kind of be back to normal. 

I have received my new catalogues, Annual Inspirations. There is so much that I want but alas could only order a few of my favs to work on so I can show off the new product. I am excited to start sharing the new product starting August 1. 

I am looking forward to getting and using the new Cricut cartridge. I can't wait until August.

Have a great day.

Page Patterns

Hello again everyone.  I forgot to add a couple of pictures. I used CTMH product and my sewing machine. I have finally stepped outside my little box as I said and have been trying something new.

I started these pages with a page pattern I made. I enjoyed doing it. I stitched around the outside of all the papers and then some of the corners of each square and added bling. I have since did another two page spread page pattern page and  now to make them. 

I think that I am liking page patterna more and more. I haven't printed any of my newer pictures that way I can print them the size I need for any page pattern I choose to use.  I do love the CTMH books for pages and cards. So many good ideas.

Have a great week.

Some CTMH

Hello Everyone,
Two posts in one night. Here are some things I have been working on.

First are pictures of the new Free To Be Me paper pack available this month for $5 when you purchase $50 worth of product. I got it and had to use it right away. I did the pages then decided what pictures I was going to add.

 

 

 

I had fun doing the pages. If you order the paper pack I will include the printout of the pages and cards.  The design team at CTMH have created some awesome designs. 

I have finally finished the Surf's Up WSOTG and now will have to add the photos. I do believe I will add some more pictures from Nice.

 

I will add more as I get pictures added. I am working on a Picture My Life project and can't wait to put pictures on here to share.  I am scrapbooking 1994 photos.
Have a fun week and I hope you get some crafting and scrapbooking done.

Camp Croppin and Scrapbooker's Paradise

Hello Everyone,
I attended Camp Croppin in Calgary in April. I had a great time and only got two of the pages I brought done.
I learned that if I am going to take classes to bring only a couple of things needed with me.
I also did some great make and takes.
The products I used by Simple Stories, Bo Bunny, Cartabella and Stampendous. I got most of them done while there and I am still working on the Blossom Beauty Journal. 
Bo Bunny and my puppies:

Simple Stories Homespun and my family

 

 

I now have more ideas on using y CTMH Picture My Life. I did not think I would ever use pocket pages and I am finding that I am now using them with my Classic scrapbooking. 

Cartabella and my flowers:

 

I have used some of the things I learned in this class on my CTMH pages that I have done recently.

Stampendous Blossom Beauty Journal:

 

I have been having fun working on this and trying some new ideas. I will have it finished one day. the flowers are by Prima and the bling is by CTMH. I also used acrylic paints I had on hand and pencil crayons. Not sure what type.  I think I will bring out some other things I have been putting off trying.

Simple Stories & Bo Bunny make and takes. I did a few others but they got put away so no photos.

 

All the make and takes were fun. I will go again next year. I learned new things and have been encouraged to try new products. Next modeling paste and gel medium I think.

I also won some prizes. I met knew people and ran into some old friends. 

A great weekend!
