So I have been busy doing just that. Each kits will include all papers and embellishments to complete 2- 2 page layouts (4 layouts total). You will also get diagrams on how to cut the papers and instructions on putting the layouts together. Also included is several ideas for you to spice up the layouts to give them the WOW factor! And the best part is that they are only $12 and are available for pickup. Postage will be extra is they need to be mailed out to you. You can save on postage by ordering more than one kit. </p> <p><font size="4" face="Arial Black"><strong>This is Workshop #4</strong></font></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDg1szFwCznVhIHXmbcLhe4LwOXj1nwgOrZIMcFOVBUR9O8Ze9gNgM-Nzb3iZAQAW5r_AvwjOWdtJuSb3b9D9yw3LDQ4eujjfGnZoVmNpMKwIn-FnjCYQu1WTB6nuJ4MPEk-U1iIooRJvy/s1600-h/_1078030%252520Workshop%252520%2525234%252520MIFYH%252520%2525238%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA " border="0" alt="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSWTCbqjUgt7a8fWEC2JUEzsWjJEsStfEEo9OflFmZUt9GvwSLrvcDk7-07nhr7364aPvB_1ZHMkFZEHICXI_BwR9u1AzJRAiunhJ1AulvKvBNLd0fwkIKQhCztrijY33qxEWBvRzrOn-w//?imgmax=800" width="490" height="269"></a> </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6qxuBC1SVQTrU2F9_jMjwoVy0C9TtgZFQjmXGCvWYXCzi6uD6WQcmLk_3DEPbjztRJi2kYIEVtyvSgJ-eaIhpVdhC4ImHnRAFgLqKOvMm_95C03p30Z5epdyyNAd0zODIkLStOA4rFMZs/s1600-h/_1078032%252520Workshop%252520%2525234%252520MIFYH%252520%25252310%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA " border="0" alt="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6LjnkPTtCT1gHYCh6QM5lmCECCa_hSbyo8MTS9RBZjck7TsJP5a8GvAS5VGpwxvYMI12LG8sk8mDFcbkWDGB9yIuHo8weGJnuS9ptEBLlXtZRjXwgrelh5baOyff6DCyoLE5G4syHEKaA//?imgmax=800" width="493" height="264"></a> </p> <p> </p> <p><font size="4" face="Arial Black"><strong>This is Workshop #1</strong></font></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz6mXc-qbS09AmGJjlpc1FzQVNOldM7D0KM0B2q7gEiFhgSQBnYiLnl-I3wxhDNJQ55kKHwUBctN19GAQzDUv67FXuyWizrgMxDfOewpyXc8sJJUZNLc9xC4ZkzNR_gjLwGI6Kus6EZuWI/s1600-h/_1078036%252520Workshop%252520%2525231%252520MIFYH%252520%2525233%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA " border="0" alt="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSUs1VOEr5D30Q8mBds2M7ad_UfYcnpnYYKXtFCB90K3Ca5AmFoY8hQ3YobxY4xbWbySgj3H742ZAnWPt9ArFeFsmwH5aZm6CT_SxEkDaU-WTxCGcSCARysjXtoGPKigYXsrJWhveT6Au_//?imgmax=800" width="494" height="283"></a> </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKAUYauhdf8OugC0GSFbmGFANB0opOzZ7hGOkU0GFj08FL7D6JSb6YqitISkiaecV_u1VhTxYE1uUYNapYdu-Cwd9UisVXOQwo9T5AU-8yyznkms5H095NQtJ0c5sGBpMKZQHxvqEoA6JJ/s1600-h/_1078034%252520Workshop%252520%2525231%252520MIFYH%252520%2525236%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA " border="0" alt="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqfyYvJUQZep7UCe62y6oIsrmEBfLsPCfmhMi7vfKOKWBBKAGAw0GlXG3reuC5l4qko8-u4xTKgQQsJKrveGDMpiK8VwRFRnNy6LTjzDk9f_KKGh8ZsoLKtNr-nxKLvwZzujAuv-Ca4uKS//?imgmax=800" width="497" height="275"></a> </p> <p>You can contact me through email to order these kits.

It can be used for little boy layouts, big, tough men layouts or the cute little cowgirl layouts. It should be quite simple to come up with photos for this one. <p>I really like the look of our new burlap ribbon. It has finished edges making if very simple to use. You can also cut into it like I did with the ribbon edge and it will not fray too much. If you do want the frayed look though it is easy to do by just pulling at the layers of burlap a little and it will fray easily for a completely different look. This ribbon is 1 ½ inches wide and there is 5 yards on the roll for only $7.95. I am sure you can tint it with a sponge and ink fairly easily too, and even stamp onto it with bold stamps and dark ink. I know you will see lots of more projects on my blog with burlap as it is so cool to use. <p>All supplies are from CTMH unless otherwise noted: <p>X7148B Pemberley Paper Packet <p>Colors are Bamboo, Desert Sand, Outdoor Denim and Colonial White <p>D1482 Love Life Stamp Set <p>Z1760 Burlap Ribbon <p>Desert Sand Ink <p>Z1371 Blue Assortment Buttons <p>Z1751 Harvest Assortment Bakers Twine <p>Corner Rounder <p>Glue Dots <p> <p>Thanks for stopping by… <p>Laurie Laurie Flanneryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15427659255948032199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389818787475301877.post-4639583042004148032012-11-22T09:59:00.000-06:002012-11-22T09:59:00.109-06:00Christmas Gift tags<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiThFHHOYz2UhyphenhyphenRqK2qwjG6xL2h4yR3kjEdTkbgO-KL_KixkV7SdcAj1c0KtIdsyRZdVJ-waxR4vBiyckYK-n9bo2j0EO3vVIWIGRreK2bIRfjeRgHOT3snu7jbSeSCwsEtch8t9lbjxlmt/s1600-h/_9197818%252520xmas%252520tags%252520%252528Medium%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="_9197818 xmas tags (Medium)" border="0" alt="_9197818 xmas tags (Medium)" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbK6skKZ-zqRh9EH1iGdPenkX3N90Zc_-AvdOKLZoDU-_1MHnpmgwb-vtrk2ujZMkcIupcVqdfXcF-ZELOaKYue9OyeAV5ZgLs99I8ZAmuOMUlzSkqMVd40TMrAzz1ETDyTE7MxUUZCFiw//?imgmax=800" width="246" height="237"></a> </p> <p>I have been busy making tags for my Christmas Parcels this year.

We are in the middle of a good old blizzard with forecasts of more than a foot of snow with wind. So, with it looking a bit more like Christmas, I thought I would post my Christmas layout today. </p> <p>Don’t you just love the new Pear and partridge Paper? I love the traditional Christmas colors with a bit of brown. And With the instructions included in the Workshops on the Go kits, it makes for an afternoon (or evening) of creative bliss. This kit teaches a few tricks that you may not have thought of before, like mixing 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> generation stamping in one cluster, Layering rub on images with stamped images and even layering rub ons on top of each other. There are more little tricks too but I will leave that for you to discover when you put your own kit together.

You just cannot get any better than that…LOL. I used our new Black Tulle Ribbon on this layout. I had never worked with this kind of stuff before but I was so surprised at how easy it is to use and how beautiful it looks. It is 3 inches wide and you get 10 yards on the roll! Yes 10 yards! All for only $7.95. If you think that is too much you can split a roll with a friend. <p>One of the things I did on this layout was to cut a piece and gather it in the middle then attach a button around it with bakers twine. Does that not look pretty or what? I also placed two Autumn Terracotta brads in the button holes just to add a bit of something unexpected. For my journaling I used a black Journaling Décor Spots. It is a cute little tag inside a pocket. They are sold on page 129 of the Fall/Winter Catalog and you get 2 each of 6 different colors for only $5.95. Just Another hidden gem throughout the pages of our catalog. <p> <p>All supplies are from CTMH unless otherwise noted: <p>Magic – One Way Mirror Sketch <p>X7161B Moonlight Paper Packet <p>D1515 Play Day Stamp set <p>Z1393 Black Mini Medley Accessories <p>Z1798 Black Tulle <p>Z1751 Harvest Assortment Bakers Twine <p>44751 Archival Black Ink <p>Autumn Terracotta Brads <p>Z1461 Journaling Décor Spots <p>Fiskars Upper Crest Punch <p>Finger dauber <p>Glue Dots <p> <p>Thanks for stopping by… <p>Laurie</p> Laurie Flanneryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15427659255948032199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389818787475301877.post-25050701755097617542012-11-04T09:57:00.001-06:002012-11-04T09:57:57.989-06:00November Constant Campaign<h5> <p>Save 50% off any stamp set* of your choice when you qualify for and buy the November Stamp of the Month set for $5!</h5><img alt="November 2012 Constant Campaign: Capture the Date, Capture the Savings!" src="http://www.closetomyheart.com/%7E/media/Public%20Website/Campaigns%20and%20Promotions/November_2012%20CCs/1112_CC_Capture.ashx" width="498" height="271"> <h6>Help those affected by Hurricane Sandy</h6> <p><font size="2">To show our support of Red Cross relief efforts for those areas of the US severely affected by Hurricane Sandy, Close To My Heart will donate $1 for every Stamp of the Month set sold as a part of this promotion during November.</font> <p><font size="2">In celebration of our Stamp of the Month program, we’re throwing in a little something extra: a 50% off stamp set!

I don’t like winter so much …just snowmen. For this layout I wanted to show you that our Moonlight paper can be used for layouts other than Halloween. I think I did a good job of that with this layout. For the snowman I cut out 3 different sized circles and overlapped them from the bottom up. I tied some of our Sunset ribbon around his neck for a scarf and placed some of our Color Ready Arbor Wooden Shapes for his arms. I used a cute Sunset button brad for his nose and two different sizes of Black Licorice Opaque's Adhesive Gems from buttons on his belly and for his eyes. I cut two rectangles of black cardstock for his hat and wrapped around some Harvest Assortment Bakers Twine and tied it in the front. I used foam dots to place the hat onto Mr. Snowman.

Just because it comes in a party kit does not mean you have to used it for party decorations. I used mine for scrapbooking. <p><strong>I have lots of things going on in this layout:</strong> <p>· I gathered the black tulle Ribbon topped with pear ribbon as an accent <p>· I made a bracket with the Artiste cricut cartridge and stamped with a coordinating frame stamp then my title <p>· I sponged sunset and pear ink onto the Color ready Arbor pumpkin shapes <p>· I made curly cues with waxy flax for the pumpkins <p>· I used my bracket border punch onto black and sunset cardstock for a nice accent <p>· I stamped tabs from the Confidential Stamp set, cut them out and layered onto the layout. I also added the dates to these. <p>· I used the 4x6 flip flaps to add some extra photos. <p>· I used scraps of paper to make some banner flags on the left page. <p>· I added some pear brads for accents <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTkAL4hUlHtJsNniy3tRvayOi7xNy0nXSEi2zFsl5heBSeD4VjHJSiQOy_WClL4bYGWLsxo20wBW2y0X1e3w7-XVgqIgKurMXj9xwdC_bJqfhJJI7mx8AGWp6AFPS6owKpjNhwEBxB0p1/s1600-h/_9197832%252520open%252520%252528Medium%252529%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="_9197832 open (Medium)" border="0" alt="_9197832 open (Medium)" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDWoXtcOTdttHm1oOBNbMwWArKFaajGu_rAPb6iv2JrRYgnhWv0O5h5JEs3HgXpV2O0K_uGs71Pjp484TIDh5UKXFFYIy6MOdh9xSbomsoJIBOxQUgsrjNHpWJEiLgqdfU7UmCmDLvTQ-8//?imgmax=800" width="523" height="372"></a> </p> <p></p> <p>All supplies are form Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted: <p> <p>Magic Abracadabra Sketch <p>G1040 Spellbound WOTG Paper <p>Colors are White daisy, Black and Sunset <p>Z1790 Artiste Cricut cartridge <p>D1347 Confidential Stamp Set <p>D1229 Fabulous Fall <p>D1532 Stars Shine Bright <p>D1386 Save the Date <p>4475 Archival Black Ink <p>Z2197 Pear Ink <p>Z2191 Sunset Ink <p>Z4114 Flip Flap Memory Protectors <p>Z1089 Black Waxy Flax <p>Green Waxy Flax <p>Z1765 Color Ready Arbor Wooden Shapes <p>Z1339 Pear Mini Medley Accents <p>EK Bracket Border Punch <p>Finger Daubers <p>Glue Dots <p>Adhesive <p> <p>Thanks for stopping by… <p>Laurie</p> Laurie Flanneryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15427659255948032199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389818787475301877.post-66887618277375097672012-09-17T10:05:00.001-05:002012-09-17T10:05:32.430-05:00Scrapbooking with Flirty paper<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiCSisjfqf1L6F-OLEL3xnJ13WyMzdqKuO9bnDxIxssYRzj_-2YmRAWxH1f2Q6aKE4EHZgH-5RyZ3wrRdQW5qeFbSotCL4M0NxYx-Vmk7B86R7DjhNgZmYvMQ0JMuD3prbtp4CtzjDDYNC/s1600-h/_8297345%252520you%252520bring%252520a%252520smile%252520to%252520my%252520face%252520%252528Medium%252529%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="_8297345 you bring a smile to my face (Medium)" border="0" alt="_8297345 you bring a smile to my face (Medium)" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuH-m2Xo0MBJ88ZHyELTOWEQERK9iKOS1scrm7Se3L_Wl3atwSAJYRiQOtsOjHky6RiyVWmkjHzk6SI2fkIBdBpgf5n7VlRyJD52EhnOAZLkdI9h0rolcGhfyIl_WhCb1SD2WU8R7fGri3//?imgmax=800" width="521" height="276"></a> </p> <p>Don’t you just love the accents on this page. They draw your attention to the top of the left page and continue on down to the right page and on up to the corner, all in a nice even flow. <p>These little accents are really easy to make…except they do take a little bit of time to do. You start with a 1 ¼ inch circle punch and double sided paper. Then with the punched circle you fold in the sides to create a square. Then mat on top of another circle.

It is fairly simple, uses a large 8x6 photo and 2 4x3 photos. Different size photos add interest not only to the layout but also to the album you are putting them into. <p>On this layout I also got to use some of the My Reflections Complements Canvas Shapes. These are pretty cool embellishments. They are ink printed right on the self adhesive canvas. It gives it a rich unexpected feel. But the best part is you get 2 6x12 sheets filled with swirls, flowers, tree limbs, birds, sentiments and more for only $5.95.
