City Sidewalks: November Hostess Club Projects

Hello!  I can't believe it is November already!  That means it is time to start thinking about Christmas.  My Hostess clubs are meeting this weekend and we are making quite a few fun Christmas themed projects using the playful City Sidewalks papers and stamps from Close to my Heart.  I especially love the pop-up card, isn't it cute?  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween! Jeepers Creepers

I have been on a blog posting hiatus!  It seems difficult for me to keep current with my page.  Such is life!!  Since it is Halloween today, I thought it would be fitting to share my September Hostess Club projects.  The Jeepers Creepers papers featured in the New Seasonal Expressions 2016 are just super FUN!!  I loved working with it and bought extra so I could continue using it for awhile.  I hope you enjoy this fun layout and cards.  Thanks for stopping by!

July 2016 Hostess Club Layout and Cards: Calypso

Good Afternoon!  Popping in with a quick post to reveal my Hostess club projects.  They are all made using the Fun summery paper, Calypso!  I am so in love with the flamingos and pineapples....so trendy right now.  I hope you love these projects just as much as I do!  Thanks for stopping by!

March 2016 Hostess Club Layout and Cards: Kaleidoscope

My Hostess clubs met almost a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post the projects.  First up is this sweet Easter layout using the Kaleidoscope papers featured in the Annual Inspirations 2016 Ideabook.  I also used B1422 Easter Wishes stamp set.  This cute little set will be retiring soon.  So, if you want it...you better order it now! :)

Next up are the set of cards.  Also using the Kaleidoscope papers.  The far left card I embossed the sentiment using silver embossing powder.  It is hard to see, but, it says "You're One of a Kind".  This stamp set is called C1629 Diamond are Forever.  It coordinates well with this paper.  The middle card uses the March 2016 SOTM called, Sunshine Birdies.  Finally, the card on the right, I used B1509 My Mother and the retired set, C1577 Mother's Day.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my projects.  :)

Zoe Paper and Share the Love

Hello there, AGAIN!!  I am back with a couple of fun cards using the February CTMH campaign special called, Share the Love.  Share the love this February by purchasing the exclusive My Acrylix^® Share the Love D-size stamp set (CC1060). Filled with adorable icons and loveable sentiments, this stamp set will be a beautiful addition to your collection—but there is more to this stamp set than meets the eye! Not only will you be getting a high-quality, swoon-worthy stamp set by taking part in this promotion, but Close To My Heart will also donate $7.00 of the proceeds from this stamp set to Operation Smile™, an amazing organization that provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates for children all over the world!* Check out our social media channels all month long to see this stamp set in action, and remember to post your own artwork using the hashtag #ctmhsharethelove to help bring attention to a wonderful and worthy cause.

Zoe Workshop Layouts

I wish I was better at this blogging thing!  There are so many ways to show and post your artwork.  I try and keep this page current, but it is difficult.  I have a lot on my plate right now...so blogging is on the back burner.  I hope you enjoy these layouts that I put together recently.  This workshop was put together by the very talented, Susan Williams, also a CTMH consultant.  I changed them up a bit.  They were easy and fun to put together.  Now...just need to find some good pictures to adhere on to these and....Done!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

January 2016 Hostess Club Layout: Urban

It's that time again...Hostess Club month.  I truly LOVE this paper packet called Urban.  Whenever Close To My Heart comes out with a boyish paper...it is always a favorite.  I used a Scrapbooking Workshop that was provided by CTMH.  It is available on the Consultant side of the website.  I changed it up a little bit and love how it turned out.  I hope you love it too!  Thanks for stopping by!
