Magic Monday

Happy Monday!!

Today's Magic Monday layout was created with the CTMH Chantilly paper packet.

The sketch is Mystify from the Close To My Heart Magic Book.  You can download a copy of the sketch here.  The Chantilly papers are one of my favorites.  If you saw last week's Magic layout, it was in shades of blue and also came from Chantilly. Such a versatile paper packet!

Magic Monday

Happy Monday morning!!  Here's the layout that my Magic Club ladies did in July.

We used CTMH's Chantilly My Reflections Kit.  This kit is so pretty.  I love the colors in it.  If you wanted to do a boy layout, just changing the Sweet Leaf mats to Twilight and you'd be good to go.  Next Monday's layout will be another from the Chantilly paper pack and it's very pink and girly. This paper pack is a "twofer".  Whether near or far, you too can become a Magic Club member.  It's only $20 a month and you will receive a My Reflections kit, all the embellishments you'll need plus full color instructions.  Email me if you'd like more info.  I'd love to have you join us!!

Today is the last day to get the cute You are my Happy stamp set.  This set has three D-size stamp sets and is only $10 with a $50 order.

Plus, get this cute Poster Tidings Stamp of the Month for only $5 with a $50 purchase!

If you'd like to order these, either drop by my website and place your order.  Or, you may email the order to me.

Magic Monday

Another Monday!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  We had rain most of yesterday, but Saturday was gorgeous!  I got a ton of flowers planted.  It's still gloomy out, but I hope it clears up quickly, as I still have a ton more to plant.

Today's Magic Monday layout is one that was created traditionally for our Magic Club.

The layout is called Hocus Pocus.  The paper packet used is CTMH's Tommy My Reflections Kit.  The film strips were cut using my Cricut and the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge.

Have a wonderful day!

Magic Club Layout

Good Morning!!  It's going to be a gorgeous day here today!  We may finally be getting into spring.  I have a to-do list filled with outside things.  Can't wait to get out there and get started.

Before heading out, I wanted to post a photo of the second layout we created in March using the CTMH Buzz and Bumble paper packet. The sketch is from the CTMH Magic book.

The wooden buttons are on the While Supplies Last sale.  24 buttons for only $1.50.

Have a wonderful day, everybody!!

Magic Club

This is one of the layouts that the Magic Club did for the month of March.

The CTMH My Reflections kit that we used is X7164B Buzz and Bumble.  The colors used are Chocolate and Sunset.  The accessories come from Z1831 Buzz and Bumble Assortment.

Magic Club

I learned something new the other day!!  I didn't know you could add text in Paint without a white background on a layout.  I'm excited because now I can list what the photo sizes are on the layouts I post and where the Title and Journaling go.  See...it doesn't take much to excite me!  LOL!

Here's the other layout that the Magic Club did in February.

This layout was created using Close To My Heart's X7166B Claire Paper Packet.  The pattern is called Ta-Da and comes from CTMH's Magic sketch book.  The white card stock on the upper part of the left page is only there so that you can see the shape of the Title spot.  You'd actually have the Sunset mat for your photo.

Magic Club Layout

This is one of the Magic Club layouts that club members created in February.  It was created using Close To My Heart paper X7166B, Claire.

The upper left picture mat holds a 5 1/4" x 7 3/4" photo.  On the bottom right of the layout, there is room for four 4" x 2 1/2" photos.  The flower embellishments are from Z1813 Claire Assortment.

Another Magic Club Layout

Here's the other layout we created in our January Magic Club.  It used Close To My Heart's La Belle Vie paper packet.  Sadly, it is retired.

The flowers were cut using the CTMH Cricut® cartridge Art Philosophy.  The scroll came from the CTMH Artiste Cricut® cartridge.

January Magic Club Layout

I'm back!!  LOL!  I'm getting back into the swing of things.  I have migraines and my doctor has been messing with my meds, and, thus, messing with me.  LOL!  It's amazing the side effects of some of those drugs. :)  I still have the headache, but it's no worse than it always is now.

Here's one of the layouts we did for for the Magic Club January.

The paper used was the La Belle Vie.  Unfortunately, it's no longer available.  I loved it!

The good news is, it is available through Studio J® and Close To My Heart has extended the Digital Delights Campaign until March 15 so that everybody has time to finish up their $5 double page layouts.  If you haven't tried Studio J®, hop on over and play.  You can use it to design you pages for traditional scrapbooking, or give the digital a try.

Magic Club

Good morning! I think it's still morning here :) I'm sorry that I have been neglecting my blog lately. I need to get back into the swing of it!!  I will!

First thing today, I need to brag a bit. :)   For Christmas this year, I got a Roku box for my husband...see...I can't watch tv with him as he can't stay on a channel more than one minute at a time.  Drives me nuts!  I tell him he must have the strongest index finger in the world from all that button pushing :)  Anyway, he usually watches tv in the kitchen, so I got a box for that tv.  I scored one!  It's so hard to find something for him for Christmas, as it is for me, as we usually just buy what we want when we want or need it.  So, now that he's got the Roku box and there must be 1000 old time western movies, he's no longer interested in having cable.  It seems like the cable channels play the same things over, and over, and over again!  Take "The Green Mile" for instance, it's been on just about every day/night for as long as I can remember.  LOL! 

He had an epiphany and thinks we should cancel our cable, with the exception of the basic package that gives us local channels.  Me...I'm not so sure!  LOL!  I watch a number of shows on the USA Network, some on TNT, A& E, AMC and Lifetime.  Now..what can I do to watch these programs, yet save us $100 a month?  We just got a brand new 42" tv and now all I'll have is local programming.  LOL! That said, probably 80% of my tv watching is on local channels...but, I'm going to miss my DVR!!  I looked online to see how to hook my computer to the new tv and found out I already had the cable.  YEA!  Hooked it up this morning and it's looking pretty good.  Only problem was, the sound was still coming from the computer instead of the tv.  Off to Google again!  I found a couple of options...after spending about an hour trying to change settings on the computer.  Then off to the basement to see what other cables/cords I have that might work.  Found one, hooked it into the computer and the tv and we are rocking it!  Now I just need to figure out how long these channels keep their current episodes online.  My only regret is I'll have to watch commercials again, rather than fast forwarding through them :)  Of course, if that's all I have to worry about, I'm a lucky gal!!  So, that's my brag for the day!  :)


Here's another of our December Magic Club layouts.  We used the CTMH Pear and Partridge paper packet.  Also used are Z1772 Holiday Dimensional Elements.

Magic Club

I just realized I never posted the Magic Club layouts for December!  We used CTMH's Pear and Partridge My Reflections Kit.  Also used are Z1772 Holiday Dimensional Elements.

I really like this paper packet as it's close to traditional Christmas colors, yet can be used for so many other layouts.

Magic Club Layout

In the Magic Club for November, we're using CTMH X7157B Dakota paper packet.  We sanded all the card stocks, and, as you can see, I wrinkled one photo mat.  Thankfully, it will be covered with a picture :)  The buttons, brads and stick pin are all from the Mini-Medley Slate Collection.

Magic Club

This is one of the layouts that the Magic Club will be creating in the month of November.  It uses the Close To My Heart paper packet X7157B Dakota.  The buttons and brads are from the Mini Medley Slate Collection.  The Baker's Twine comes from the Neutral Assortment.

 

Magic Club

For the October Magic Club we used Close To My Heart's X7161B Moonlight paper packet.  

The cuts were created using the Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut® cartridge.

Magic Club

This layout is one the layouts created in the October Magic Club.

We used Close To My Heart's Moonlight papers.  The leaves were cut using the CTMH Artiste Cricut® cartridge.  They were cut from Honey, Goldrush, and Autumn Terra Cotta card stock.  Then they were scored on one side to create the veins.  I then inked them with Goldrush ink.

Magic Club

This is the second layout the Magic Club did for September.

It was created using X7156B Clementine.  The flowers used are from Z1710 Paradise Paper Flowers. 

Magic Club

For our September Magic Club we used X7156B Clementine CTMH paper packet.  The flowers are from Z1794 Cottage Assortment.

The colors used are Champagne, Saddle, Cashmere and Sorbet. 

Magic Club Layout #2

I have to say, I LOVE this paper packet!  This is the second layout that the Magic Club did for August.  Again, we used Avonlea.

As the weather cools here in upstate NY, I find myself drawn to craft even more.  There are not enough hours in the day to do everything I would like to do.  How about you?  Have you thought of any Christmas/Hanukkah gift ideas yet?  I know that I will be recreating with paper one of the Studio J layouts that I did about the USS Coolidge.  You'll find that layout in the slideshow to the right.  I'm going to frame it as one of my gifts to my brother.

I saw a fabulous rag quilt that looks like the American flag on Pinterest.  I plan to make a couple or three or maybe even four of them.  LOL!  My Sister in Law, a niece, and our daughter are into the red, white and blue color scheme, so I know they'll all love it.  And, of course, I need to make one for myself, but that will wait until after Christmas :)

Well, my craft room is calling....  Have a wonderful Monday!

Magic Club Layout

Here is one of the layouts the Magic Club did for August.  We used Close To My Heart's  new Avonlea kit.  Such a pretty paper pack.  I kept the embellishments to a minimum as it seemed to take away from the pages.  I only used some of Z1748 Brocade Assortment on this set of pages. 

Magic Club

This is the second set of pages we made for our July Magic Club.

This set of pages was created using the Close To My Heart paper packet called Victory.
