Capture the Details of My Life

Wow!!!  What a weekend I just had!  I attended the Close To My Heart Fall Album Retreat and had the best time.  This was my first ever Corporate sponsored event.  I know....Right!!!  I have been a consultant for over 7 years and I finally took the plunge.  It is so hard to break away from my sweet family to go to these events.  I am so glad I went...just check out this GORGEOUS cover page I made!  This is just the first page...the remaining 10 double page layouts are just as beautiful. 

Close To My Heart is such a family oriented company and I am so happy to be apart of that family.  It was such a pleasure to meet the Corporate staff in person...they are sweet as can be!  Thank Close To My Heart for a wonderful and meaningful weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.

The supply list is a mile long...if you have any questions about what I used on this layout, please contact me at gonestamping@msn.com

Card Kit: Chantilly Birthday Cards

ProPlayer: Birthday Invitation and Thank You Card

Popping in with a really quick post.  My son turned 11 years old last weekend.  I can't believe it!!  He is growing up too quickly!  He is totally into gaming and his Ipod right now...so the new ProPlayer paper is so perfect for him.  I quickly whipped up some invites for his friends.  Today, I made him some matching Thank You cards to hand out for all the wonderful gifts he received. 

I hope you enjoy these and Thank You for stopping by!

Caprice: Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday!  I was playing around today with some older Close To My Heart paper.  I am so ashamed!  I have sooooo much paper!  I could open my own store.  I know...sad, right!?  I don't know if I am the only one out there that does this...but, I spend more time looking at other people's artwork and don't spend time making my own artwork!  I think I am a hoarder of paper crafting goods.  Is there a support group for that?!  I certainly could belong to one. ;)

Anyway...I found the first Freshly Made Sketch and made this cute little card.  I always need a stash of Happy Birthday cards.  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.
