Events and More

Check my event on the sidebar.  I am looking forward to having fun and getting back into crafting.
Check out my facebook page as well. My event and newsletter will post later today.

The weather looked like rain today and now the sun is shining brightly.

The golf course is calling and it will have to wait as there are things that are required to be done.  I do have to find an oven element. Tried cooking last night and thought hmmmm the beeper had not gone. Decided to check it out as it had been almost hour (so I realized) and still not where it should be. Supper changed and broil it was.  Turned out and was quite good.

There are so many new products out and I would like them all.  I guess a few at a time over the year will work. I am hoping to play some time today and make a list of the things I would like from both idea books and then choose the priority ones.

I am looking forward to the new colours and the new stamp pads. I am looking forward to the Work Place Wonder being available.  It looks like it will be awesome.

Have fun checking out all the new stuff.

Have a great day.

Some New Things

Hello Everyone,
I have been busy trying to organize my house, do books and scrapbook, some holidays and time with my grandchildren.

I am going to try to get caught up with my CTMH stuff over the next few days.  I was hoping to have some samples of my own to post for the new product as it looks so awesome. My order has traveled a large portion of Canada due to the confusion with Canada Post and the threat of a strike or lock out. It is supposed to be on the way back from Ontario now so hopefully it will be here soon.

I am just going to post a few new things my website instead. When I have time I will work on the product and get it on here.

All the product I have coming was to do the challenges from the Virtual convention. The ladies at corporate and I had good laugh over that. I guess it will be a rush to get it done. It will get done though.

Here are some pictures of some of the new products and you can check them all out at Scrapbook Fun.

Whimsy Fundamentals 

Picture My Life

New Inks and Ink Pads

Basics Fundamentals - Rustic Home

Thin Cuts - Hearts

Adventure Fundamentals

Cricut - Flower Market

Take a tour through the new Idea Book. It has many knew items. I am also excited to get the knew Holiday Expressions and order some of that product. So many choices of exciting things and having to choose what to order first.

Have a great day.

July Blog Hop Magical





Welcome to the Hearts of the West team blog hop.

If this is your first time joining us you will love it. It features
Close To My Heart Consultants from all over Canada
showing you their projects. The hearts of the west team was founded by Nancy Klein.

This months challenge is the Calypso paper pack, brought to you by the Expressions 2 2016, hand picked from Nancy Klein.

If you came from Corinna Murphy Blog then you're in the right place, this is a go around blog hop so you can start anywhere! Just in case, the full list will be at the bottom. So, as always, grab your coffee, tea, water, relax,and hop around 
the team with us.

I used the Magical Workshops Your Way to make the following pages. I have yet to put the photos on and journal. I hope to have them done sometime soon. 

I got 3 -2 page spreads, card scrapbook pages and 9 cards out of one workshop with some paper and bits left over. I am going to start putting all the bits into a container and use them on other pages and in my workshops. 

I love these as they are quick and you do not have to stamp unless you wish to.

For the cards I have used a discontinued stamp set A1136 Card Chatter Focus on You and C1631 Birthday Princess as I do not have the stamp set Fairytale Birtday B1534. I used used Glacier ink, Archival black, Shin Han Markers to colour the Princess.

Stamping with Misti

Hello Everyone,

I have been having fun with the MISTI. Like I said it sat in my scrap room for a long time. I tried it and didn't like it much. I have watched some videos on youtube and now use it quite often.

I used CTMH products-inks, thin cuts, stamp sets, and Cricut cartridges.

I did the cut outs first. I then put the piece with the negative space into the MISTI, lined up the stamp in the space, closed it so the stamp would stick to the door section, then put the cut out into the space, inked the stamp and stamped on the shape. Made it very easy to do.  It lined it up quite nicely.

I also stamped onto cards. I was making more than one of the same card so once the stamp was where I wanted it on the card I closed the MISTI so the stamp would stick to the door then  inked the stamp and stamped away. The image was in the same spot on each card. I did not show them here as they are going to be on my blog hop for July.

I will always have my blocks as they come in handy for stamping on larger pages and items.

Have fun stamping and have a great week.

I have chosen to make the Workshops Your Way Calypso (G1109) projects.

For the cards in the workshop I used My Acrylix stamp set Tickled Pink (C1651) and corresponding Thin Cuts Tickled Pink (Z3228).

Also for the the cards I used the stamp pads Cotton Candy and Black, and White card and envelope value pack (x254).

I Had fun playing with some water colour and making the pages. I have not put photos on yet. I am trying to find some summer zoo photos. I haven't printed them yet so I discovered. The winter photos at the zoo that I have printed just don't quite work.

I had fun working on the cards and using the Thin Cuts as well.

April is Ending and May Beginning

Hello Everyone,

Today is the last day to order from the Seasonal Expressions 1. There are some awesome products
in the book. Studio J will no longer be available after today. If you have any unfinished projects they will need to be done today.

Tomorrow is the start of National Scrapbooking Month and the Happy Times paper pack and stamp set.  With a $70 purchase can order the paper pack for free. You can purchase the the paper pack as well for $17.75. You will be able to check it out tomorrow on my website.

Seasonal Expressions 2 starts tomorrow. The paper packs are beautiful. I had a hard time trying to choose what I would like to show my customers first.

I am still in the middle of sorting my scrapbook room and am making progress. I have had fun finding things I forgot I had and letting go of things I know I will never use as they have been here for a long time (years). I will be exploring the selling of some tools that I don't use anymore such as cutters and such. Parting with them will make more room for future tools if they are required. LOL

Check out my website for the May Stamp of the Month.

There will be a number of stamp sets retiring in July. If you wish to know which ones please contact me so you don't miss out on that stamp set you may have really wanted.

Take care and have a great day.

Kerry
