Back To School Card: Mojo Monday 307 and Back to the Bus Challenge

Back To School Mini Book: Artbooking Cricut Cartridge

Hello!  Where have I been?  Oh...you know...summertime activities and well...I guess crafting without updating my blog.  Sorry for my absence! ;)  I have a CUTE Mini Book to show you.  Brought to you by the Fabulous New CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.

I am having a Home Gathering tonight with a Back To School theme.  I bunch of lovely teachers and I are getting together to make some fun crafts tonight.  I am having them make a sweet card/postcard to give to their students or another fellow teacher.  I have been prepping for a little over a week for this.  I hope they love what I have come up with.

The sweet mini book was so fun to make...plus it was a snap with the handy new cartridge!  Which, by the way, is available to purchase TODAY in the New Autumn/Winter 2013 Ideabook.  The album measures 8x8 and was made using a very retired School Zone Paper Packet.  If you have any questions regarding how or what I used for this project, please contact me.  The supply list is too long...and well, I am being a little bit lazy! ;)

Here are some other pics of the inside:

July Hostess Club Layout: Claire and Forever Friends

Yay!  I am finally back with a post for y'all!  I have been MIA for almost a month.  There is just something about summer that makes it hard to get any paper crafting done.  Busy, busy!! :)

My Hostess Clubs are meeting this upcoming weekend and I have just finished the layout.  Man....talk about procrastinating!  The NEW Close To My Heart Ideabook is coming out next month.  So excited to share new product with everyone!  But, before the new book goes live, I still have to use up some of the current ideabook's paper.  The Claire paper pack just happens to be the same as my daughters name...so I had to buy some of it and use it for my clubs.  Unfortunately, the paper pack is now retired...boo!  I am glad that my customers will be able to use some of it, if they never did buy it.  I hope they enjoy this layout. :)  I used the layout Parlor Trick from Magic™ Scrapbook Program.

Freshly Made Sketches #90: You're the Best!

I have one more card to show you today.  I quickly whipped this card up for my final Father's Day card.  I used the Freshly Made Sketches #90 for this one.  The "Someone to look up to" sentiment was cut from a piece of B&T paper from the It's A Guy Thing Paper Packet.  Below is a pic of all three cards I have made the last couple of days.  Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.

#1 Dad Father's Day Card: Mojo Monday 297

What!!  I am on a Roll this week!  Partly because the weather has been rainy most of the week, so the kids and I have been hold up in the house.  Which means...more craft time! ;)

I am happy with the end result of this fun Father's Day card.  I have a lot of this It's A Guy Thing paper left over.  I love using the same paper for all of the Father's Day cards I am making.  Plus...I love using up my older paper to make room for new.

I used the Mojo Monday Sketch #297 for this card and I am also entering it in the Rose Blossom Garden Challenge Blog.  The challenge on this blog was to use the Father's Day key found on the Artiste Ciruct Cartridge.  This is my first time playing along with these challenges.  I hope to play again!

Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.
