June Club Projects

Just getting a chance to post our June Club projects.

For our Imagine Club, we're using Close To My Heart's Route 66 My Reflections Level 2 paper pack. Reminds me of the 1960's. Love the papers and the colors in this kit.

For our Cherish Club, we're using the new CTMH Tinkerin' My Reflections Level 2 paper packet. I really like these layouts!

And, for the Stamp a Stack club, we used the CTMH My Acrylix stamp set called Extreme Happiness. We'll also be using papers from the Moon Doggie My Reflections Level 2 paper pack. While checking out Jeanette Lynton's (owner of CTMH) blog, I fell in love with her Pansy Purple, Petal, New England Ivy and White Daisy color combo used in the Monday Color Challenge.

If you'd like info only any of our clubs, and how you can receive freebies from being in a club, email me.

This month's Kit of the Month provides all the materials you will need to create three 2-page layouts, plus 3 cards. Visit my website to see the rest of this kit and place your order.

May Cherish and Imagine Club projects

I'm loving the papers in the new CTMH Summer Idea Book! Our Imagine Club will be creating these layouts with X7112B Animal Cookies. What fun paper this is! Great for those birthday photos or to make birthday cards.

Our Cherish Club is using X7114B Bella to create these cute layouts. I had fun using my Cricut for these projects!

A couple of custom orders

Funny...in all the time I've been painting, I've not had a request for a chestnut horse. Then, last week I get requests for both a mailbox and a slate with a chestnut colored horse. I love how they turned out!

New foal pics!

He's outside playing for the first time today.

Scratch that itch! LOL!



Here I come!


I'm still waiting on the other one to be born. Looks like it may be later today or tonight. Hope she waits until my husband gets home from work this time!

It's a Boy!

First foal of the season! Too cute! Evidently Red Eye Fix doesn't work on horses. :) He really does have an eye. LOL!

Long time no chat!

Wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. Where did March go? My cruisin' buddy came last week and spent a couple of days so that I could teach her how to scrapbook our photos. We had a ball! Chatted and scrapped for two whole days. What fun! She had picked up some great papers with the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, the Rome Coliseum, and Barcelona. Now I realize how spoiled I am using our Close To My Heart products that all coordinate. I think we spent more time trying to find papers to go with these than it took to scrap the pics! I haven't had a chance to add my embellishments, but when I do, I'll be sure to post pictures.

I'll also be posting some pics of our March Stamp a Stack club, Cherish Club and Imagine club projects. I got a new computer (it's been sitting on the floor here for two weeks waiting for me to set it up!) I finally set it up today, but now need to transfer the stuff from the old one to the new one. Wonder how much less will end up on this one? LOL! I remember when I got the old one how few things I ended up installing that was on the previous one. So, this time will probably be even less. :)

Have a great day everybody!

My European Vacation

Sounds like a Chevy Chase movie, huh? LOL! I finally got a chance to scrap some of my vacation photos. I used the Close To My Heart Vintage Travel Level 2 Papers for these pages, the Memory Keeper box and also the Acrylic Album.

I also did this CTMH Memory Keeper box to keep all of the keepsakes in that don't fit in an album.

I love how this acrylic album turned out! I can pop it in my purse to carry with me. It has a page for each of the different cities that we visited.
