One Year Old!

It is hard to believe that my granddaughter had her 1st birthday already.  Time sure flies...We had a nice party for her out at the lake. 
I like the way the Hooligans paper packet went with the birthday photos.  it was a lot of fun making this from the new How To Book, Magic.  The pattern is in there, but I did change it up a bit.
I also didn't have any sunset cardstock so I used White Daisy cardstock and my sunset ink pad and did direct to paper to make my own sunset cardstock.  I think it turned out beautiful, it has a bit of texture for depth.  And it is very easy to do if you find yourself without the right color of cardstock. 
All supplies are Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted.

Too Cute To Spook!

Welcome back to Maggie Mondays.  Isn't she adorable.  The more I get to play with these little girls and boys the more I love them.  They are irresistible! 
This one is Sitting Witch Tilda.  The glass flowers came from my local Michael's store.  The were in the bridal section.  I also didn't have any sunset cardstock that I wanted to use so I took my sunset ink pad and rubbed it in circles all over white cardstock to make my own custom paper.  It also has texture to is as some areas are darker than others.  A fun way to make do with what you have.

Studio J Digital Layouts

I have a confession to make.  We have been selling CTMH Studio J Digital Scrapbooking for almost 1 year now.  I was not interested in it because of the cost.  It was just too expensive and then when you add the shipping to Canada it was not something I was interested in promoting to my customers.  Then this summer at Convention in Washington DC they announced a membership program to Studio J.  This made it totally affordable to us in Canada! 
Studio J memberships include:

• FREE hi-res JPG files for every custom printed layout purchased
• Special Members only patterns and kits
• FREE Shipping and handling on your monthly order
• FREE Memory Protectors
• Exclusive Campaigns and Deals throughout your membership
• 50% off custom printed layouts...Your cost is only $7.50 per layout...that works out to only $3.75 per 12x12 page! 

So to summarize...$3.75 per page and free shipping...What is there not to like! 
The cost of a 12 month membership is only $115. or you can try a 3 month membership to see if this is something that you will like for only $35.

We also carry a 5 pack which includes 5 - 2 page printed layouts, 5 memory protectors, and free shipping and handling.  This option will cost $73. 

And to make this even more affordable become a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant on my team!  A one year membership may be one of your 3 choices you can make on a custom made consultant kit! 

The above layout I whipped up yesterday in only a matter of minutes.
You can try Studio J out here
