Project Inspiration 2012 Autumn/Winter Idea Book: Home Decor

Check out this new video about Home Decor products that Close To My Heart has in the new Idea Book. You can start ordering products like this on August 1, 2012.  Very exciting!!!

Soft and Sweet Gift Set Workshop

Hi everybody!  Hope you are having a wonderful day in whatever you are doing.

Here is a beautiful card workshop that Krista Ritskes designed using layouts from the CTMH Wishes book.  In total there are 8 different cards and a box to hold them in.  She did a beautiful job!  The following pictures are the cards that I created at the workshop that she had.  Like I said in my newsletter I'm not a fan of pink but I fell in luv!  Scroll down and take a look.  If you are interested in creating something like this yourself (which is easier than it looks), I'd be happy to show you how.

You can have your own workshop by inviting your friends and letting me know how many are coming.  We'll figure out a date and time and I'll be there with all the supplies to make this workshop or you can join a workshop that I'm having.  If you have your own workshop and there are sales, you never know, you can walk away with a beautiful gift set and free product!

Post a comment below or email me at jagsscrapin@bell.net and I'll get things started on my end.

The above card "Just wanted you to know..." is one of my favs. 

I really luv "Sending you Birthday Wishes..." one as well!

I think that I have to continue to post a picture or two which are my favs as well.  Here is a Brittney Spaniel puppy pic.  They are 6 weeks old and just adorable!



This is all I've got for now.  Keep checking back for more cards, scrapbook layouts and paper crafts.  Enjoy your day!!!  Happy crafting!!!



2012 National Scrapbooking Month: Dotty for You

Check out the video above and fall in LUV with the paper for national Scrapbooking month.  I did!!!  National Scrapbooking month is May.  Reach me via this blog or email me at jagsscrapin@bell.net and ask me to order it for you.

First Blog...

Hi!  This is my first posting on my first blog.  I'm slowly learning how this whole blog world turns.

I'm excited to start posting my Close To My Heart (CTMH) layouts and cards here along with any other crafting that I create.  I love to take pictures so I may add some of those in as well.  Well, here goes:

This layout is from the new Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book.  This is from the "Pemberley Workshop on the Go".  I luv the paper!

This layout was created at a day long scrapping event.  I love the colours and the way the pink snow suit pops.  The scrapping event was a success for my co-Close To My Hearter and we all had a great day!  This is "Wonderland" paper from the Fall/Winter 2011 Idea Book which, sadly, is no longer available but I still had to post this layout.

This is a picture I took a few years back but still come back to it when I'm looking for flowers.  It is an african daisy that grew in my garden one spring.  I really like this picture.

I am very new to blogging.  I've got questions and more questions and probably some problems with everything so just bear with me as I learn something new.
