<div style="text-align: center;">
<pre><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> This great set lends itself to so many things; </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">scrapbook pages, calendars, journals and so much more!</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">However, since I am in a swap group that makes cards </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">using each of the SOTM sets I had to figure out how to </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">use this set to make a card. That was a bit of a challenge </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">for me, but this is what I came up with.</span> </span></pre>
<pre> </pre>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R6LpSr2sJvU/UJGncRNks9I/AAAAAAAABQw/jMVO8eo5j6w/s1600/novSOTM12-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R6LpSr2sJvU/UJGncRNks9I/AAAAAAAABQw/jMVO8eo5j6w/s400/novSOTM12-2.jpg" width="313" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I wanted to make a birthday card for a milestone birthday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But since I make multiple cards for everyone in my group </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I realized that not everyone would need a birthday cards for a 21 year old. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">That's when I decided to make it a spinner card when the sender </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">could choose which milestone by turning the circle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Below is a photo showing all of the options I made. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It's kinds a fun twist I think. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> As usual I was assigned a paper pack for the swap.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This month I was assigned Clementine. While I love the Clementine </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">papers I had a hard time seeing them as "Christmasy".</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> According to the rules of our swap we are supposed to at least</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> use one of the B&T designs. Admittedly, I used the bare minimum on this card. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The blue design on the top is from Clementine. The rest of the card uses two</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> of our new colors, Ruby and Slate. I embossed the Slate piece of cardstock </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">with a snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sanded it</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">so that the white core shows through. I love that effect!</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> All of the shapes were cut on The Cricut. I finished it off with a bit of bling</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">and some Slate dotted ribbon. A Very Merry Christmas indeed. </span></pre>

The only downside is that in that time I have collected A LOT of STUFF.</div>

With the release of the latest idea book I decided that it was time to do some purging.</div>

I must admit it was hard to let go of some of my favorite "friends"</div>

<br />
<br />
Hello everyone and welcome to the September SOTM Blog Hop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have arrived here from <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://roxybonds-scrappin.blogspot.com/2012/08/ctmh-september-stamp-of-month-fall.html">Jen Patrick's blog</a></span> you are on the right track. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep on hoppin' though, though there are more than 50 consultants </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in this hop showing you their beautiful artwork so enjoy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I get started on this hop I want to apologize for not getting my pics of last month's project up until today. August was a crazy month for me, living in three cities in two states out of a suitcase for 5 weeks kind of throws a wrench in the crafty plans. If you would like to check out my project </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using Baroque Borders click <a href="http://www.dudleychickdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/07/august-sotm-blog-hop.html">HERE</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for this month's project using this awesome stamp set, Fall Favorites. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I have loved coloring since I was a little girl, and I still find it very relaxing to bring an image to life with COLOR! This set is perfect for coloring. It was also perfect for trying out our new alcohol based markers. If you like Copic markers you will LOVE these. They come two to a set so you have a light and a dark shade of the same color for less than you would pay for ONE COPIC...isn't that awesome!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here is the card I made </div>

I was assigned the Pear and Partridge paper pack this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly kind of like when I get assigned papers and stamps that you wouldn't think of together, I enjoy the challenge. For this card I used the leafy B&T paper from Pear and Partridge and added New England Ivy and Goldrush cardstock to make it feel more like fall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't you love those swirly designs and that shaped window? </div>

Hello and welcome back for another SOTM blog hop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have arrived here from <a href="http://michelleloncar.blogspot.com/">Michelle Loncar's blog</a> then you are on the right track. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the last SOTM set in our current Spring/Summer Idea book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you as excited as I am to see the new Idea Book? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
July's set is called Live Out Loud and its a fabulous set of 8 awesome sentiments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EcqTJR8cOa0/T-90lnfpbwI/AAAAAAAABL8/LVy8yR8gb54/s1600/Jul12SOTM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EcqTJR8cOa0/T-90lnfpbwI/AAAAAAAABL8/LVy8yR8gb54/s400/Jul12SOTM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This month my assigned paper pack was Crusin'. And since I was making these cards just before Father's Day knew I wanted to make some "man cards". I decided to also use the car image from the Cruisin' WOTG kit. I just love that classic car and it stamps so beautifully.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is the card I made</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zyFo755CyrQ/T-91h2h-i0I/AAAAAAAABME/L32DBsyat9U/s1600/July+SOTM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zyFo755CyrQ/T-91h2h-i0I/AAAAAAAABME/L32DBsyat9U/s400/July+SOTM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I wanted the car to look like it was driving along a road so I stitched the white lines with white embroidery floss, using our awesome clear ruler to poke the holes for perfect spacing. I then stamped the image and accented it with our new durables in the corners to make it look like a billboard. Finally, I cut small triangle flags from the decorative border of one of the Cruisin' papers to make the checkered flags.<br />

<br />LeAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00671312831056358627noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864656220978850248.post-30987978322959440262012-06-26T01:19:00.001-06:002012-06-26T17:56:20.974-06:00Love Birds...Once upon a time my daughter had a room mate. I'll call her Jessica, (because that's her name). Jessica finished her college education and took a job in a tiny town for the summer. In that tiny town there was a boy. I'll call him Jacob or Jake for short. Despite the fact that Jessica was only in the tiny town for a short while, Jessica and Jacob fell in love and decided to get married. Since my daughter is one of Jessica's bestest buddies she offered to help with the wedding. And in the process of offering her own skills in cake making, decorating and other friendly wedding duties somehow I got volunteered to "help" make the invitations.<br />
<br />
Jessica wasn't sure exactly what she wanted but she wanted to somehow incorporate trees. I went to my favorite place for inspiration...PINTEREST. I found and pinned lots of ideas for Jessica as a place to start. This is the pin she liked best. It is from an Etsy shop and can be found <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/79437730/mod-tree-elegant-wedding-invitation">HERE</a>. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7zsJi2f3idg/T-lKRCjt0OI/AAAAAAAABIw/ZdvjZbvRDYs/s1600/Pinterest+idea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7zsJi2f3idg/T-lKRCjt0OI/AAAAAAAABIw/ZdvjZbvRDYs/s400/Pinterest+idea.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I thought, "I can do that" and starting thinking of stamp sets and colors that I could use to recreate if for Jessica and Jake. I made a few samples using different color combinations. And met with Jessica to make some decisions. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kVesOcvJY_o/T-lNJyJ77XI/AAAAAAAABI8/JgK3UmYBIUc/s1600/IMG_1425.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kVesOcvJY_o/T-lNJyJ77XI/AAAAAAAABI8/JgK3UmYBIUc/s400/IMG_1425.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
This is the prototype we came up with. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0Qxy6R-8Pms/T-ln5jiO3wI/AAAAAAAABLw/PoPEkdKlTgM/s1600/prototype.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0Qxy6R-8Pms/T-ln5jiO3wI/AAAAAAAABLw/PoPEkdKlTgM/s400/prototype.PNG" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
Then I waited for the numbers, how many were they going to need? Jessica waited for the lists to come in from both families but she thought they would need about 150 invites. <br />
<br />
"I can do that", I told her (wondering what it was really going to take to hand stamp 150 invites). When the final numbers finally came in it was 250 invites. I can honesty say I thought to myself, "What did I get myself into.". We had decided on the colors (Chocolate, Sweet Leaf, Smoothie and Colonial White) so I ordered the cardstock and we planned a weekend to get the girls together to make them. <br />
<br />
I cut all of the pieces ahead of time and my daughter and I started stamping. First came the trees, I used the CTMH stamp set Grown With Love (retired). Jessica really liked the "carved" heart that was on the original one we saw so we had to figure out how to carve a heart out of our tree. We decided to cut small hearts out of sticker paper using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to mask out a heart shape on the tree trunk. Instead of completely removing the mask before stamping which would leave a white heart we left the stickers on the stamp and inked it with Chocolate and then stamped. Because the sticker paper absorbs the ink instead of sitting on top we got a brown heart with a different texture than the rest of the tree with a nice outline that just happened (I love happy accidents). .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_IZA9UqNsxI/T-lbNpxzMCI/AAAAAAAABJQ/zSHeVZLt15o/s1600/IMG_1589.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_IZA9UqNsxI/T-lbNpxzMCI/AAAAAAAABJQ/zSHeVZLt15o/s400/IMG_1589.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next come the leaves, stamped in Sweet Leaf.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WkmcVF_3M24/T-lbLiFe-4I/AAAAAAAABJI/OyD7Ci42ivk/s1600/IMG_1588.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WkmcVF_3M24/T-lbLiFe-4I/AAAAAAAABJI/OyD7Ci42ivk/s400/IMG_1588.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Each invitation has 14 stamped leaf groups. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xl9vIzFq3mA/T-lbPvY9twI/AAAAAAAABJY/KioRC3_AKFc/s1600/IMG_1590.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xl9vIzFq3mA/T-lbPvY9twI/AAAAAAAABJY/KioRC3_AKFc/s400/IMG_1590.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And then come the birds stamped with Smoothie. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The birds came from the CTMH Childhood Portrait stamp set </div><div style="text-align: center;">and luckily there are two birds in that set, one facing each direction. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SzLmwnx4nEU/T-lbRiNqqvI/AAAAAAAABJg/bmDfqd6nX2Q/s1600/IMG_1592.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SzLmwnx4nEU/T-lbRiNqqvI/AAAAAAAABJg/bmDfqd6nX2Q/s400/IMG_1592.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We added the initials inside the heart with a Chocolate marker. </div><div style="text-align: center;">When we were done our stack looked like this. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JgZ5t2ybdW8/T-lbVg6sFGI/AAAAAAAABJ0/r9NYxfSnnU0/s1600/IMG_1595.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JgZ5t2ybdW8/T-lbVg6sFGI/AAAAAAAABJ0/r9NYxfSnnU0/s400/IMG_1595.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For a bit of perspective here is our stack compared to the height of three stamp pads. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Pretty impressive if I do say so myself!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AuAGWaKUEDw/T-lbXYS3mQI/AAAAAAAABJ8/6dzy8Fkn6dQ/s1600/IMG_1596.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AuAGWaKUEDw/T-lbXYS3mQI/AAAAAAAABJ8/6dzy8Fkn6dQ/s400/IMG_1596.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I had so much fun with this set. One day my friend and I just decided to sit down and make cards. I had just gotten this set and the Dotty for You paper pack and so we went to town. I also had the paper pack assigned for my swap group so I had lots of ideas flowing.<br />
<br />
This first card is the one I did for my swap. I paper pieced the bird with the dotty for you paper. I just love how you can mix papers from different packs and they always match perfectly.<br />

Hello and welcome to the May SOTM blog hop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have come here from <a href="http://tamrascraftypapercreations.blogspot.com/2012/04/ctmh-friendship-bouquet-sotm-blog-hop.html" target="">Tamera Pope's blog </a>then you are on the right track, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is one great big loop of creative inspiration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month's set Friendship Bouquet is such a beautiful set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uOnYFZQk3ck/T58NMwPyx8I/AAAAAAAABFg/_TP8EdJcyjA/s1600/May12SOTM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uOnYFZQk3ck/T58NMwPyx8I/AAAAAAAABFg/_TP8EdJcyjA/s400/May12SOTM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love sunflowers and gerbera daisies and this set can easily be colored to be either. Since my assigned paper pack for this month is Lucy I decided that I would be making pink daisies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3fmJq5XpDiw/T58TUM57g2I/AAAAAAAABFs/UjezlUVohKw/s1600/MaySOTM1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3fmJq5XpDiw/T58TUM57g2I/AAAAAAAABFs/UjezlUVohKw/s400/MaySOTM1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here is another view with the band removed so you can see how it opens.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love these die cut cards, they are so cute!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FXg1ycA9KGA/T58ViP-oo_I/AAAAAAAABGE/7F9A30oR5eU/s1600/MaySOTM4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FXg1ycA9KGA/T58ViP-oo_I/AAAAAAAABGE/7F9A30oR5eU/s400/MaySOTM4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was recently giving sewing lessons to the teenage daughter of a friend and we were working with grey and pink and I just loved those colors together. So, since I still had pink thread in my sewing machine I thought why not sew on some Grey Wool cardstock as an accent for my card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a close up of the sewing on the band closure of the card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how the pink just pops off of the grey wool. I need to do more sewing on my projects!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also knew that I wanted to use the daisy to make a layered 3 dimensional flower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the technique of cutting only part of the flower for each layer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then stacking them for a 3D effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This set is perfect for that technique. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a close up of the 3D flower. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this set might be getting lots of ink this spring and summer! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget that you can only get it throughout the month of May</div>

I will however, tell you in advance that it is highly addictive. I have pinned more cards, scrapbook pages, recipes, sewing/ DIY projects than I will ever have time to try if I live to be 100 years old,,,and I keep pinning!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">It was on Pinterest that I saw originally saw the idea for peep s'mores.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Here is the <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/221169031670499662/">link to the original pin</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> And here is another version I pinned for a printable bag topper available on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/95513484/diy-printable-peeps-smores-tags?ref=v1_other_1">Etsy</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1j9KqfPOSKc/T3qXolPvoDI/AAAAAAAABE4/95qlZ9Y5p48/s1600/etsy+peeps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1j9KqfPOSKc/T3qXolPvoDI/AAAAAAAABE4/95qlZ9Y5p48/s320/etsy+peeps.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
As soon as I saw it I know I wanted to make my own version using CTMH's new My Peeps stamp set. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">So I gathered my supplies</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FPURoS1w7Do/T3qX8svw85I/AAAAAAAABFA/4pCSsgiMwq4/s1600/P1040678.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FPURoS1w7Do/T3qX8svw85I/AAAAAAAABFA/4pCSsgiMwq4/s320/P1040678.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">And went to work.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Here is what I came up with.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(sorry about the blurry pic)</td></tr>

Welcome to the April SOTM Blog Hop. if you have arrived here from<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <a href="http://www.tuttonstreasures.blogspot.com/2012/03/april-stamp-of-month-you-are-blog-hop.html">Angela Tutton's Blog</a></b></span></div>then you are on the right track. It is one big circle so you start anywhere and hop your way through some amazing artwork and awesome ideas on how to use this fantastic set,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">You Are... is an awesome set of 15 stamps. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XI90UZhLlF8/T3YFOW4pUNI/AAAAAAAABEA/l-8i17J0cVo/s1600/Apr12SOTM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XI90UZhLlF8/T3YFOW4pUNI/AAAAAAAABEA/l-8i17J0cVo/s400/Apr12SOTM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Aren't they fun? You can use these to describe a person or an event. You can use them on scrapbook pages, cards or even home decor. As usual with our SOTM sets the possibilities are endless.<br />
<br />
Here is what I created using this set.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qTdkDH8Dzs8/T3YHww2jXLI/AAAAAAAABEI/ql5O7rvygtg/s1600/YouAre1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qTdkDH8Dzs8/T3YHww2jXLI/AAAAAAAABEI/ql5O7rvygtg/s400/YouAre1.jpg" width="368" /></a></div> I used the Cocoa, Sunset, Tulip and Lagoon colors from the Stella paper pack and created my own stamped background. I love the way the different colors and fonts combine to create a fun background. The medallion, the tag and the banners were cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. I don't think there is much that I create these days that I don't use that cartridge, it lives in my Cricut full time.<br />
<br />
Here is a close up of the medallion, its so easy to cut those intricate cuts when you use the Cricut. Can you even imagine trying to do that (multiple times) with a craft knife?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1dd2RXe85Uc/T3YKClRYmeI/AAAAAAAABEQ/Q21JnoJy9l0/s1600/YouAre2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1dd2RXe85Uc/T3YKClRYmeI/AAAAAAAABEQ/Q21JnoJy9l0/s400/YouAre2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>Supplies used:</u></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stella level 1 paper pack</div><div style="text-align: center;">Exclusive inks in Cocoa, Tulip, Sunset and Lagoon</div><div style="text-align: center;">Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge</div><div style="text-align: center;">Tulip Mini Medley (button)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Antique Copper Bitty Brads</div><div style="text-align: center;">Chocolate Waxy Flax</div><div style="text-align: center;">You Are - April SOTM Set </div> <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E6wcTIDGjU4/T06QBsm03mI/AAAAAAAABDU/AMkV68OE1Ds/s1600/Mar12SOTM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E6wcTIDGjU4/T06QBsm03mI/AAAAAAAABDU/AMkV68OE1Ds/s400/Mar12SOTM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">This gorgeous set is going to be a new favorite I am sure. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I just love the bold flourishes and can see myself using them on both cards and scrapbook pages. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">And I just LOVE the sentiments, there is so much love and encouragement in those seven words. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">As many of you may already know,</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> I do my monthly SOTM projects </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">based on a paper pack assignment</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> from my consultants group. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">This month my assigned paper pack was Florentine,</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> which I think compliments this set beautifully. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Here is the card I made </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uhyIkQOjJmY/T06RY7Xzj0I/AAAAAAAABDc/FX9Huig_RAQ/s1600/Apr+SOTM1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uhyIkQOjJmY/T06RY7Xzj0I/AAAAAAAABDc/FX9Huig_RAQ/s400/Apr+SOTM1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">The card is cut using one of the card shapes available on the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">The shaped window is perfectly centered and cut right out of the card, easy peasy! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">With the card closed you can only see the word Anything through the window.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BEStXs-HpwQ/T06TuI4YhxI/AAAAAAAABDk/x_oZTJJd8wE/s1600/AprSOTM3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BEStXs-HpwQ/T06TuI4YhxI/AAAAAAAABDk/x_oZTJJd8wE/s400/AprSOTM3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">But in this image I stood the card up a little more open </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">so you can see the entire message stamped on the inside. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">For the front I used the back side of the paper that looks like a persian rug. I always have a hard time cutting those beautiful full page designs but I really loved this design on the back side. It is one of the reasons I usually buy two paper packs, I usually like BOTH sides of the paper!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I was working on these cards at Archivers when they were demoing a new product from We R Memory Keepers called Sew Ribbon (you can find out about it <a href="http://weronthenet.com/Sew_Ribbon">here</a>).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> It is a fun new tool that you can use to punch slits anywhere on your paper and weave your ribbon through.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> It was so much fun and I loved the results so I just had to buy one.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> Here is a closer look at the ribbon weaving. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's that time of year again, </span>out with the old and in with the new. As CTMH gets ready to unveil the all new Spring/ Summer Idea Book on February 1st they have released the list of items that will be retiring as of January 31st. If anything you want or NEED is on the list you better act quickly, before they are gone. There are more than a FEW of my favorite things on this list...sad! BUT, there are some amazing new things to come, I promise. I can't show you anything but lets just say that there are LOTS of new boy friendly papers (camo, superheros etc. ), tons of new A sized stamp sets, a couple of great alphabets and MORE!!! If you are in Utah stay tuned for info on my OPEN HOUSE, coming soon. <br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>Here is the list, just click on the product names to see everything on my website.</b> T<b>hanks so much to fellow consultant Tamytha Jenkins for sharing her clickable list and slideshow. </b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I will be placing an order in the next few days so let me know if you need something or you can always order directly from my website and have it shipped directly to your door. </span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<br />
Hello and welcome to 2012! I hope you had a lovely holiday and are getting ready for an awesome new year! I know CTMH has some great things in store for 2012. This month we are hopping to see all of the beautiful projects created by the final SOTM set in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have arrived here from <a href="http://inkygeorgia.blogspot.com/2011/12/january-2012-stamp-of-month-bloghop.html"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Georgia Hauglid's blog</b></span></a> then you are on the right track, </div><div style="text-align: center;">keep on hopping for some amazing ideas. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> S1201 - Little Reminder </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tpm-xJZgj_A/Tvtz83afZuI/AAAAAAAABBc/JuzPAjUFceU/s1600/JanSOTM-Images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tpm-xJZgj_A/Tvtz83afZuI/AAAAAAAABBc/JuzPAjUFceU/s400/JanSOTM-Images.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This fun set is a great way to remember dates on anything from cards to invites, to scrapbook pages.</div><div style="text-align: center;">There are just so many possibilities.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And once again some of the images coordinate with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't you just love that?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I made this card months ago, long before my move so I would be sure I had it done. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7EY_cxr8XLs/Tvt2tP6yZAI/AAAAAAAABB0/6qPK9pBJUXk/s1600/jan2012SOTMhop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7EY_cxr8XLs/Tvt2tP6yZAI/AAAAAAAABB0/6qPK9pBJUXk/s400/jan2012SOTMhop.jpg" width="347" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">It ended up being for my cousin, who is expecting a baby boy in early February. I will leave the dates blank so that she can fill in the birthdate and add the card front to her scrapbook. I love how the colors in the Dreamin' paper pack are perfect for a little boy, but the designs may not be what you think of first for a baby card. The versatility of the CTMH papers and the beautiful color pallates make thinking out of the box a bit easier. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is what I used for this card...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Dreamin' Level 2 Paper Pack</div><div style="text-align: center;">January 2012 SOTM- Little Reminder</div><div style="text-align: center;">B1368 Baby Love</div><div style="text-align: center;">Exclusive Inks in Chocolate and Pacifica</div><div style="text-align: center;">Chocolate Grosgrain Ribbon</div><div style="text-align: center;">Blue Button Assortment</div><div style="text-align: center;">Chocolate Waxy Flax</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Last year I did a Christmas card class where each person made 20 cards using simple mix and match layouts with papers from the Mistletoe paper pack.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kU7RrrkPx5A/TulBlJz4ROI/AAAAAAAABBE/ImzYynwhleM/s1600/Cardapalooza1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kU7RrrkPx5A/TulBlJz4ROI/AAAAAAAABBE/ImzYynwhleM/s400/Cardapalooza1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>It was one of my best attended classes to date. However, when I was calculating how much paper I needed to order for the class I accidentally DOUBLED the order! So, this year I have LOTS of left over Mistletoe paper. It's ok because I really do love the classic Christmas colors (Cranberry, Olive and Chocolate) and the simple elegant designs of Mistletoe.<br />
<br />
Somehow, when I moved out of state my Christmas card list grew. Not that I am complaining, I am glad so many of my friends want to stay in touch.When I got to Utah I told my friend Angie I needed to make more Christmas cards and she was game so we got out the Mistletoe papers and the Christmas stamp sets I had saved from the jumble of the storage unit and set to work. Here are just a few of the cards I created. I sent about 60 cards this year, hoping to get at least half that many in return. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I even helped Angie create this year's Christmas card </div><div style="text-align: center;">from the Dean family (although I forgot to take a pic of it).<br />
And she happily created lots of cards on her own (I didn't take pics of those either, oh well)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think I have converted her to my form of therapy. </div>LeAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00671312831056358627noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864656220978850248.post-47076931405861483802011-11-30T18:55:00.048-07:002011-12-06T23:42:06.140-07:00December SOTM Blog Hop- Mad About You<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hello, and welcome to our final blog hop of 2011.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have arrived here from </div><div style="color: #990000; text-align: center;"><a href="http://memoriesoftheheartbydeb.blogspot.com/2011/11/stamp-of-month-blog-hop-mad-about-you.html"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Debra Van Patten's blog</b></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> then you are on the right track.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Keep on hopping, it's a great big loop</div><div style="text-align: center;">of awesome artwork and ideas. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's hard to believe that we are so close</div><div style="text-align: center;">to celebrating another new year.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is your holiday shopping done? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Are your cards finished and ready to mail?</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you are like me, then the answer to both of those questions is "no".</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am using moving to a new state </div><div style="text-align: center;">a couple of weeks ago as my excuse, what's yours?</div><br />
It's a good thing I finished my card for December BEFORE the move, since my craft supplies are still a bit scattered . In fact my entire ink tower was MIA until just a couple of days ago. Luckily a rescue dig mission into my temporary storage unit was successful and the missing ink tower and camera were located...so on with the SOTM post.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This month's set is called Mad About You and it is full of lovely images and sentiments to celebrate love and Valentine's Day. There are even three of the images that coordinate with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ss2-EfIs1g/TtWrB4mBxaI/AAAAAAAABAE/9Cy4qn27F1k/s1600/DecSOTM-Images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ss2-EfIs1g/TtWrB4mBxaI/AAAAAAAABAE/9Cy4qn27F1k/s400/DecSOTM-Images.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
As soon as I saw this set I knew what I wanted to do. The "Over The Moon in Love with You" tag just begged to be used with a moonlit scene. So here is the card I created...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ItM35HrZLGg/TtWsS3gD_rI/AAAAAAAABAM/_sCr6hhrZXU/s1600/DECSOTM-DudleychickDesigns.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="347" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ItM35HrZLGg/TtWsS3gD_rI/AAAAAAAABAM/_sCr6hhrZXU/s400/DECSOTM-DudleychickDesigns.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I used one of my favorite sets, Childhood Portrait for the sweet couple on the bench as well as the trees and the grass. I just love the silhouette images in the Childhood portrait set and have used them over and over again. The moon was masked out with a circle punched from a post-it-note while I sponged the sunset with large foam texture tools. Remove the circle and viola' a full moon! The window was cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and kraft paper. I love how the scalloped edge of the card front looks kind of like an awning and finishes off the scene perfectly. This would be a sweet card for that special someone in your life, or even for a wedding or anniversary.<br />

SOTM Blog Hop - Cherish The DayHello and welcome to the November SOTM blog hop. If you have arrived here from <a href="http://www.hookedonstamping.com/index.php/scrapbooking/ctmh-november-sotm-blog-hop-tutorial-2/"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Helen's blog</b></span></a> you are on the right track. She also has a list of all the participating hoppers in case you get lost along the way. It's a great big circle so just keep on hopping to be sure you get to see all of the great ideas.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This month's set is Cherish The Day. And there are a whopping 44 stamps in this set!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SWTZiLfda48/TqjQf3rgXrI/AAAAAAAAA-U/n46aCKcfaK4/s1600/NovSOTM-Images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SWTZiLfda48/TqjQf3rgXrI/AAAAAAAAA-U/n46aCKcfaK4/s400/NovSOTM-Images.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I really think this set will be a staple in my craft tote from now on. Cards, layouts, tags...I could go on and on!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Since I am getting ready to move<br />

have to stay ahead of the game so we have time to<br />
crank out our fun holiday cards.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Christmas cards are nearly done,</div><div style="text-align: center;">so Valentine's is the next major holiday I am thinking about. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #38761d;">NOTE: I am in the process of a move so I may not be posting anything really new for a little while, so this is a re-post from last year. If you haven't tried these yet you should. Enjoy!</span> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As with many of the things I create I cannot take full credit for this idea either. I saw this for the first time last year on another blog. I wish I could remember where so I could give credit but I read so many craft blogs I really have no idea where I saw it originally. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is a fun an easy way to create custom glitter ornaments</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> in any color you want.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> The possibilities are truly endless. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is what you need:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZTdV0qexcM4/TOJEL45ujzI/AAAAAAAAAoU/v63LQSSwZvQ/s1600/materials.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZTdV0qexcM4/TOJEL45ujzI/AAAAAAAAAoU/v63LQSSwZvQ/s640/materials.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><ul style="text-align: center;"><li><span style="font-size: large;">Clear Glass Ornaments </span></li>

I have a great group of ladies and I am really going to miss them. I am so happy though that one of them has decided to become a consultant and continue the group, she is going to be great and they will continue to have great fun and creative times without me. I feel kine of like I did when my daughter went off to college, only this time it is me who is moving on.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> Here are the projects we did at our final meeting</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><br />
One of the things I love the most about the Art Philopsphy cartridge is the 3D boxes. This fry box has to be one of my favorites (at least until I make one of the other ones). I made this one as a cute little Halloween treat. I will admit that the bags used to hold the M&Ms were purchased from Stampin' Up. I know you can get them elsewhere too but I was invited to an SU party so I couldn't resist.<br />

I loved the colors because it was something different from the traditional red and green of holiday papers. Plus, I am partial to the chocolate and blue combo (those are the colors of my bedroom). Another thing I loved was the snowflake patterns. Sonwflakes are perfect for holiday cards because they celebrate winter and not one particular religious holiday. I LOVE Christmas and enjoy all of the festivities, celebrations and for me remembering "the reason for the season". But, I also have friends of many other faiths on my holiday card list so I try and make some winter cards as well as traditional Christmas cards. When i really looked closely at the accessories that go with the Wonderland paper pack I was especially excited by the Icing Overlays. They are beautifully printed clear acrylic overlays that coordinate perfectly with the Wonderland papers. I knew immediately that I wanted to design a holiday card workshop using the Icing Overlays.<br />
<br />
November was my month to teach the creative project to our consultant group so I decided to get to work on my idea. After all who better to test out a workshop idea than other consultants. Here are the cards I came up with. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J0QU0cNd9X4/To12utAHnAI/AAAAAAAAA74/2RwXgQIhAGw/s1600/Wonderland-Icing+Workshop.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J0QU0cNd9X4/To12utAHnAI/AAAAAAAAA74/2RwXgQIhAGw/s400/Wonderland-Icing+Workshop.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
I designed 10 cards using the Wonderland Papers, Icing Overlays, Rhinestone Designer Brads, and Stardust Glitter Gel as well as ribbon and clear sparkles. Here are some pictures of the individual cards.<br />

</div>I love how they came out and I had so much fun creating and teaching this workshop. Since I created a full cutting guide and full color instructions to share with my consultant group I decided to also post them on the CTMH consultants' bulletin board. The response was huge, I am so flattered that some many other consultants are enjoying these cards too. So since I am in the sharing mood here are the links to the printable cutting guide along with the supply list and directions to make these cards for yourself.<br />

<br />
I am having a hard time writing this. You see I have struggled with a BIG decision for a while now and now that it is done I have a hard time telling people the choice I made. I have lived in Colorado since I was 2 years old. It is my home. But with my layoff and a year and a half of unemployment I have had to make some tough decisions. <br />
<br />
I will be moving to Utah next month. It just makes sense for me to go now, to make a fresh start someplace new, to be closer to Ashleigh and find my dream job with one of the major craft companies (I hope). I will miss Colorado, all my friends here and the Mile High City. <br />
<br />
One of the hardest things for me to think about in contemplating this move was YOU, my CTMH customers and friends. You have been so incredibly supportive of my creative venture, and I have really enjoyed the friendships I have made through this business. I will miss you all. First I want to say that I am NOT leaving CTMH. I will continue creating, blogging, teaching and selling all of the wonderful CTMH products, just not in Denver. <br />
<br />
What does this mean for all of YOU, my loyal customers and friends? <br />
<b><br />
1. You can still order from me anytime.</b> Just contact me directly by email, at 720-394-9361 or use my website <a href="http://www/CTMH.com/dudleychickdesigns">www/CTMH.com/dudleychickdesigns</a>. <br />
<br />
<b>2. I am looking for someone to take my place here.</b> Now is the perfect time to sign up as a consultant for CTMH (see Oct. special below) and I can hand it to you on a silver platter. I would love to find someone or a few someones who would be willing to continue my card club, classes and workshops here. I will guide you, teach you and even share my ideas, directions and supplies when I can. It's really a win/win situation for someone who is ready and willing to take the plunge. If you are interested please contact me and we can discuss the possibilities. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Card Club</b> - If you are a member of my card club there are a couple of ways this could go. We are just getting started on this round so we could just cancel it. But, I would love if one of you (or a couple of you) wanted take over and keep the club going. I will still have card club here on the 14th for anyone who wants to come. Hopefully, we can discuss more details for the future of the group then. Again, if you are interested in signing up and taking over let me know and we can discuss. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Classes and workshops</b> - I will still have my Christmas card workshops this weekend. In fact I have a couple of extra kits for anyone who wants to join us. The cost for the class is $25. That class will be the last one I do here. I will be doing additional Christmas card workshops once I get to Utah so I will offer them as a "Class in a box" for anyone who wants to do them here. Pricing will include all the cut and stamped pieces for you to assemble on your own plus shipping. More details on that later. <br />
