Clementine is the paper pack for February Creative Classes.  It is the last of the fall catalog paper and then we are on to the next round of paper found in the new catalog.  I am excited because I got to design our pages for the beautiful Chantilly paper kit for our team.  Anyway, I have had a creative rush of pinks and yellow and blue.  Next I started working on the Later Sk8ter pack which provided another batch of color to start swimming in my head.  Love that feeling of having something come together creatively.  It is very helpful that CTMH comes out with a great pallet of paper and accessories for us to start with.

Anyway, back to Clementine.  If you got my newsletter (out on February 1) you saw one of the layouts.  Now look at the photo here and see if you can see a difference...besides the fact that Jen took the photo of this one and she is an incredible photographer with a great camera....

So yeah...you can totally switch the pages around if you want to.  It also looks pretty cool with the first page rotated so the flowers are on the top left hand corner.  Lots of options.  Just another beauty of CTMH layouts, which is a pretty fun function to play with on the Studio J scrapbooking site.  Have you tried Studio J yet????  You need to if not, and February the cost is only $5 per layout. (Less than Costco and anywhere else.) I will be doing a bunch of Studio J layouts this month.  Simply log in to my web page at marybeth.ctmh.com.  Just do it!  I think it is SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!  Here is a copy of my Christmas Card I did using Studio J.  I designed it in about 1 hour, bought the j.peg for only $2.95 and took a copy on a thumb drive to our local grocery store photo center and the gal behind the counter put it onto an 8x4 card in about 4 minutes.  Sweet!


 It does seem a little weird not to be making a bunch of valentines this February.  I used to make up to 100 for all my kids classmates and now they don't need any.  What?  I will still make some for the students in the classroom that I work in and that will be fun.  But it is a change in my life.  Speaking of Valentines, the 2nd Thursday of the month when I usually do class is the 14th...and there are a lot of other options for people that day, so the schedule for the Clementine Classes for February are a bit different than usual.****  

*****Thursday February 7th at 12:30 or again in the evening at 6-ish ****
Tuesday, February 12th at 6-ish (earlier or later is fine...everyone is together in the middle)
Saturday, February 9th or 23rd are both available if you want a Saturday morning slot...just let me know.

Cost is $19.50 for these pages and cards  (I will be hiking prices all the way up to $20 from here on out... tired of always needing change and don't worry, you will get some extra sparkles, or paper or something for the extra .50)

Cost for the card workshop is only $10.  The design is very similar to the ones in the picture...but we will be using the cottage flowers accessories instead.  They are just so cute.  You will make 2 of each design for a total of 8 cards.   Oh and one of my customers slipped and told me that at Archiver's their classes are $25.  But don't worry, I am not changing my prices for these classes.  $10 is a nice even number and I am sticking to it...for now.

Remember that if you want to do my projects but don't live nearby.  I am happy to ship thing to you so you can do it on your own.  Not as much fun and a bit more $ for shipping, but you do get some great pages done.
