Sparkle and Shine Scrapbooking Kit

We have a special line of paper here only for the holidays (Sparkle and Shine) and we know that when it is gone, it is gone.  (Right now they have everything we need to do these layouts...so it isn't too late.  12-1-2014)  With that warning in mind, NOW is the time to buy this kit.  It is BEAUTIFUL and will make a great layout to display and/or to be tucked in your scrapbooks.  There is room for lots of pictures and the colors are WONDERFUL.  Diana adapted these from layouts done by Lynn Como and Dana Kesler and we are so happy with how they turned out.  Here are quick pictures of the pages and the card photos will be here soon.  I will be doing a Christmas Card workshop during the first part of December.  We meet in December on Tuesday Dec. 10 Orem, Wednesday December 11 (Mapleton) and on Thursday afternoon at 12:30 in Orem.

So for those of you who come to my classes or are on my long distance shipping list... you know that I have you pay in advance and then I have the paper cut and ready for you to put the pages together.  This is one of those months that you can buy 2 layouts.  Then if you want to put them together in Dec, Jan or Feb...no problem they are paid for and ready for you.  You could even do them as homework at your own personal crop.  If we get enough orders I could add an extra class and you can come twice.  I am concerned that if you wait, they will run out of paper, etc.  And we know you will want to do these pages, so let me know as soon as possible so I can order for you.

There is a special running right now that with a $100 order you can actually get the paper pack FREE, thus your kit is less than usual... heehee.  Do you want this for a Christmas gift under your tree?  No problem.  Have your parents, spouse, friend, sibling or whoever contact me and we will take care of it.

Usually we limit our kits to 1 accessory pack, but this one actually contains 2, thus changing my usual price point.   Both accessories are SO GREAT!!!!!! So there are a couple of options:

      *  for the two layouts as is with the dimensional elements and sparkle flourishes, the cost is $25. If you would like to do the bonus cards also, it is only $1 more...so $26.

      *  For the two layouts as is with the dimensional elements and NO sparkle flourishes, the cost is $19.  Add $1 for cards here too to take it up to $20. The sparkle flourishes are beautiful and I know you can't see them in the photo all that well, but they really add a great touch and are so festive. 

Hope to hear from you soon!!!!

Plates

So... I have been a consultant with CTMH for 21 years.  Yes....21.  My hope is to still be with them for another 15 at least.  What does this have to do with plates?  Well, back when I started doing this I attended conventions and one of the classes was on making plates using our stamps.  Actually you just stamp on a tissue and send the tissues to a company and they form a plate around the tissue with your artwork showing through.  Well, I found that lots of people liked doing these as gifts so every few years or so we get together and have a great time stamping plates.  I have 2 sets of plates for my family of 8.  Here is a photo of the two I did for me and Sam's.  When the kids were younger we used them as an indication as to where the kids were to sit.  Now we don't care whose plate we use.  Some people do a Happy Birthday Plate or a You Are Special Plate or a Cookies for Santa Plate.

Anyway, this is one workshop that I do that I really don't earn any money doing.  You can come and use my stamps and inks and create and then we send them in.  It helps to get several plates processed at once as the shipping starts out at $10 for only one plate.  It is also $10 for 20, so you can see by the math that it is better to combine our efforts.  I can't give you an exact price quote yet...it depends on how many plates we do.  I am guessing that the cost per plate will be between 6-7 dollars/plate...  I don't know how much the company has changed their prices since we ordered last.

So...if you are interested in doing some plates, e-mail me and let me know about how many you would want to do.  We will try to figure out a time to get together and have some stamping fun.  If you have stamps, etc. and want to get your tissue stamped at your home and your convenience, that is totally fine too.

Grateful for some beautiful Fall weather this week!!!!!

I have a lot to be grateful for and right now this weather is making me so happy.  Cool evenings...yes, but the days are in the 60's and fine and beautiful.  We started off fall with some cold and miserable slap-in-the face winter-is-here type days.  So now I can be extra grateful for the beauty.  Just wasn't ready for winter in September.  Another thing I am grateful for...fun times in Idaho and at the CTMH album retreat.  Grateful for a great class at work to work with.  I could go on, but it is time to get this post up so people can see the great Huntington Fall layouts.  Remember back when people were draped with color swatches to determine your season?  Well, I am an "autumn" so maybe I am even more especially drawn to these colors than all you winters out there.  But I LOVE them.  Perfect for any fall photos you have going.... Thanksgiving, playing in the leaves, rustic cabin photos, nature, garden, etc. etc.  I know you don't get the newsletter until the classes are about here, but don't hesitate to sign up...I have some extra paper kits and will be happy to have you participate.  Then in December we will be doing the pages and cards using the Frosted paper pack and the bonus Christmas layouts can be done either in December or January...so budget up for doing 2 kits one of these months.

Cost of the Huntington Kit:  $21 with the 2 layouts and 4 cards
     I have everything precut for your scrapbooking pleasure...
     (not interested in doing the cards?  no problem...only $20 for the layouts.
Cards only:  8 cards (2 of each design) are only $10  

Oh and guess what...card crafting is making a new come-back.  For many of us, it never went anywhere, but it is good to know that the rest of the people are catching on again.  Sweet!!!!

Dates we will be having our CREATIVE CLASS:
November 12, Here at my home in Orem at 6:00
November 13, Down south in Mapleton at 5:30ish
November 14, At my home again in Orem at 12:30 in the afternoon

Here is the photo.  We did add some mats with colonial white on the 2nd layout to brighten it up a bit.  We will be using Desert Sand and Barn Red ink and sponges to do the edges.  Looking forward to good times in November.

 

Laughing Lola: October Groups

Wow, September flew by and October is already here and newsletters are going out and hey, my blog isn't really updated yet.  What happened to last month?  Not sure except that...Fall hit.  I am really hoping some new or former people will want to do these pages and  cards because they are interesting and beautiful and have great colors, etc.   So please if you have thought "I ought to do this..." now is a great time to change it to "I am going to do this...now"

Here are the pictures...same as in the newsletter.

I have changed the lower layout title to be "You are amazing".  Wanted to use the Workshop on the Go stamp set.  Love playing with the paisleys and the very cute circle flowers and hey...I am still loving the notebook page on layout 1 with the cute cricut cut and stamp from our new Artbooking cricut cartridge.  Very tempting to put that on every layout.  I know these are not your typical Halloween October fare, so you are on your own to do Halloween pages this time.  Several consultants have used these papers for Halloween and Jen came up with a cute little decoration.  The base is actually only 12 inches so it is a mini...but so VERY fun and cute.  I have a ccr file for anyone who has the Artbooking cartridge and would like it. 

We will be using slate ink to sponge edges if anyone wants to bring their own sponge and ink pads.  I love how slate adds that soft edging with a little softer look than black. 

Cost of class:  $20 with only the layouts and $21 to add the cards in

Cards only:   (2 of each for a total of 8 cards)  $10

DATES we will meet:  Tuesday October 8, 6:00 my home
                                  Wednesday October 9, 5:30 Mapleton
                                  Thursday October 10, 12:30 my home

See you soon!

Sarita Class Details

September Creative Classes are right around the corner and the Sarita pages are as fresh and innovative as ever. I am loving all the paper in the new catalog and even if one side of the pattern paper is not something that grabs me, the other side is.  Such versatile and beautiful paper with the cardstock to match is part of the reason why these kits are such a great value.  I will be having classes during the 2nd week in September on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday:...so join us creating this month.

Tuesday, September 10:  6:00 at my home in Orem
Wednesday, September 11:  5:30 at Peggy's home in Mapleton
Thursday, September 12:  12:30 at my home in Orem

Cost for pages.  Had to be a little creative this time.  So it is the same price as usual, $20 without the cards and $21 with the cards.  However this does not include the flip flaps. (Z1395 $4.95 plus t&s)  Everyone is buying them in addition to the class, because well they are an extra item.  And you get 8 of them in a variety of widths but only use 2 of the 6x12 inch flaps.  So there are extras for other projects later.  Two people can easily share a pack of flip flaps too and that is a great option.  So fun to get this product into your hands because you will want to use them all the time.  I love the photo-size flip flaps too and often add extra photos that way too.  This is a product that almost always sells out when we have them at the expo. Weird not getting ready for expo right now since there isn't a fall expo.  Can't wait for the Spring expo.

Please let me know as soon as you can if you would like to participate in September classes.  See the photo in the last post.

CREATIVE CLASS Surf's Up/ NEW Catalogs & Cricut Cart.

August Creative Class = Surf's Up

Not that you need to be a surfer to use these beautiful layouts and cards.  I am excited to offer these 4 great pages and cards for only $21.  If you are only doing pages the cost comes to $20.  We displayed these pages at expo and other events and it is fun to watch people stop in their tracks to see these layouts and tell us that they love the colors, etc. etc.  I know August is a crazy busy time, so if the class schedule just won't work for you and you want to do these layouts, let me know and I can do a kit for you and you can pre-pay for it and come do it another time.   Also don't forget the option to have a kit mailed to you for only $6 more.

Class Schedule for August::
      Tuesday evening August 13th at 6:00 at my home in Orem
      Thursday afternoon August 15th at 12:30  at my home in Orem  (no evening class...a wedding to go to)
      Wednesday evening August 20th at 5:30 at Mapleton

Don't forget if you don't scrapbook, you can do 2 sets of the cards for only $10.  Great to give a set away as a gift and use the others.

I have new catalogs available and ready to give to my class attendees.  In addition to the catalog there will be a special Christmas Supplement to order from that will be available in the fall.  There is a new cricut cartridge and if you want to get in on the group order so that you get a discount and a free paper pack just let me know.  I have to put you into groups to take advantage of the hostess rewards and it is a great deal.  So call me or e-mail me soon.  Again, this cartridge is packed and has a great variety and so many options.  The 3 stamp sets that come with it are my favorite.

They just keep giving us more and we love it! We will do some of these cricut specials in August because the stamp of the month is FREEEEEE this month with a $50 order, so that sweetens the chocolate pot.  Here is a flyer showing the Stamp of the month for August.  I think we can all relate to this one for some reason.
