New Spring/Summer Idea Book, Jump for Joy & My Favorites

Beginning February 1st the NEW Spring/Summer Idea Book will go live!  It is loaded with fresh new ideas, products, kits and more all for YOU!  Starting February 1st, you can CLICK HERE to go directly to my website where you will be able to browse through the catalog and create your wish list as you go.

Perhaps you may want to consider holding your own Home Gathering and receiving some of those gorgeous new products for FREE or at a 50% savings! I have a few dates open in February & March and would like to offer you an extra incentive to book a Home Gathering during these months.  The first 3 people to contact me will be "Jumping for Joy"  when they get to jump up a level in their Hostess Rewards.  For example, if the sales total from your Gathering reaches $350 you would normally recieve $60 in FREE product and 1 item of your choice at 1/2 price.  But when you "Jump for Joy" to the next level you will recieve $80 in FREE product and 2 items at 1/2 price!   Have I got your attention now?  Ok, so act fast!  Contact me to take advantage of this special offer that is only available through me.   This is not a Close To My Heart promotion, but rather a special offer from me to YOU!

The NEW Spring/Summer Idea Book has so many great new kits and products, but I thought I would give you a little sneak peak at a few of my favorites.  There are 2 new Workshop on the Go Card Kits.  I will be offering the Chantilly card workshop in March-details coming soon.  I love the fresh, bright colors of these birthday cards.

 
Next up on my favorites list is the Canvas Home Decor Kit.  This kit contains products to create a wall hanging in your choice of 2 different color schemes.  This would be a beautiful artwork addition to your home.  It would also make a great Mother's Day gift!  I just got my kit and cannot wait to put it together.

It may be because I have 2 boys, but the Later Sk8r kit is my all time favorite!  I love the colors and think it just screams BOY.  Can't wait to work with this kit. 

My second favorite kit is For Always.  Love the black & white patterns and by adding just  a pop of color, you can make this kit work for many different occasions.

 
Surf's Up is another favorite for summertime and the beach.  I think I will need to do an entire album with this kit, since I have so many beach pictures.

Last up is the NEW Hinged Display Frame and the Tommy kit.  This kit has a nautical theme to it, but contains primary colors, making it very versatile.   

Of course there's plenty more new products for you to drool over, so be sure to check out the NEW Idea Book online, beginning February 1st.  Or, contact me to get your new catalog sent directly to your mailbox.  The cost is $5 to cover shipping, or if you're in the area you can stop by and pick one up.

Saddle Up with Clementine or Dakota!

I'm Calling all Cowboys (or girls) to head on over to my ranch in February for a down home scrapbooking workshop!  It's gonna be a Rowdy Time with your choice of Clementine (a feminine country floral) or Dakota (more masculine country flair). 

Round up your friends for this workshop on February 21st from 6-9pm or February 23rd from 10am-1pm.  Either way, if you plan on coming, I need your order/payment by January 25th.  You can contact me to place your order or simply CLICK HERE and go directly to my website to place your order.  Just be sure to "JOIN" the "January Sales" open gathering prior to placing your order, or during the checkout process.  Or else, I may have to get the Sheriff after ya!

First up at the rodeo is Clementine.  These pages were designed by Lynn Como.  I love the floral patterns, Canvas Complements Shapes and the Brown/Tan Sparkles-which add a little bling.  The Cottage Assortment is my favorite though.  These adhesive backed, layered fabric flowers come with the buttons already attached and really add dimension to your pages. The Canvas Alphabet works well with this kit too, for adding titles-which I still need to do on the first layout.

Now, for all your little Cowboys we have Dakota.  I especially love this kit since I have 2 little cowpokes of my own, and the colors are perfect for many occasions.  The metallic stickease and Round Durables Studs add a special touch, and the wood grain paper reminds me of barn wood.  Have you tried the Houndstooth Alphabet yet?  They come white, but when sponged with ink, the houndstooth pattern appears, so cool!

January Specials-Just in time for Valentine's Day!

It's hard to believe a New Year is upon us and Valentine's Day is right around the corner.  The January Stamp of the Month-Happy Valentine's is perfect for creating a Valentine card for that special someone, but can also be used for an anniversary or sympathy card as well.  The roses are so pretty and elegant. 

 

 

For the card below, I used a color combination of Whisper, Slate, Ruby and White Daisy.  I created my own patterned paper by random stamping the large rose image in Slate ink on Whisper cardstock.  I also inked the edges of all the papers with Slate ink.  The hearts were cut out using the Cricut Artiste Cartridge.  For embellishments I chose Clear Sparkles and the Silver Shimmer Trim to add some sparkle & shine. 

 

 



This set is available during the month of January for $17.95, or only $5 with a $50 purchase.  Email me to place your order or you can go directly to my website by CLICKING HERE.  Be sure to "JOIN" one of my open gatherings during checkout.
