Jewelry Making Mom's Night Out

Everyone deserves a little break and crafting is right up there with ways to cope with stress. Yeah!

You are going to love the next Stamp and Chat because it's a Jewelry Making mom's night out.

Mark your calendars for a jewelry making party at my house Wednesday, July 16th at 7:00 p.m. It's going to be super fun and inexpensive. Just $10 for the items to create one necklace. Feel free to bring a friend and I'll give you a bag of charms of your choice!!! See pages 80 and 81 in the Summer catalog for what you'll be making.

Here's a picture of the samples in the catalog:

The charms are an extra 75 cents. If you'd like to make more, it's $10 per necklace.

I hope to see lots of faces. For this workshop there is a limit of 12 slots. If we have more than that interested we might have to have another shift. Please RSVP as soon as you can, first come, first served.

I'm so excited!
We're going to have so much fun!!!

Yours in Stamping,
Elaine

New Catalog!!!!

I think I'm in love! This new catalog is FULL of so much new product and stamps and papers and a new Cricut cartridge and accessories . . . and, and, and.

I can't wait to look at it again. So excited to share it with you all next month!!!!

 

These are some of the cards we made today. They were made with our new Cricut cartridge. That's not all, we also made a cute mini album, but I didn't get it finished. I'll post it once I get my pictures in it. The projects were wowie cards, but without the wowie work.

Here's a quick snap shot of us working hard on our projects. We received SO much free product and I loved creating with the new paper products and stamps.

And what are we doing tomorrow? Well, of course, we're stamping again. Yahoo!

I will post again. I love Convention!!!!

I've arrived!

Today is the day it all begins . . . the countdown to the reveal of the new catalog and all new goodies to play with!

But first Lori and I had some Mickey time.

He's so cute!!!

The real excitement is tomorrow though as the new catalog is revealed and all new stamps, and papers, and accessories, and more!!! Stay tuned and I will keep you posted on all the new developments! I'm so excited that 9 of us are here from the California Dreamin' Team! We rock!

Now to try and get some sleep so I'll be bright eyed and bushy tailed for tomorrow's excitement!

Convention!!!!

In just 5 days I will be heading to Disneyland. I'm so excited! And not just because I LOVE Mickey Mouse. No, I'm excited for the best thing about being a Close To My Heart Consultant . . . Convention.

First of all there's the excitement of seeing the catalog for the first time . . . filled with treasures galore, this puppy is going to be a doozy! We've even been promised a NEW Cricut cartridge. YES!!!! And there's going to be new stamps and new albums and new papers and accessories that are going to boggle my mind!

Then there's the camaraderie of all my fellow Consultants. Not only will I see many friends from other teams, there's going to be 9 of us from our own unit, California Dreamin'! That's exciting. We even have matching shirts to wear one of the days. (Pictures to follow!)

Finally there's my favorite part . . . playing with all the new product and papers in the Creative Sessions. We'll all have inky fingers for sure, but then again, that's how you know you've been having fun! (Pictures to follow of what I made too.)

Be sure to follow my blog as I update you daily on what's new and exciting and fun on the Convention scene. I'll be like a reporter. <giggle>

First up . . . gotta find that mouse!!!

The Blues

No, I don't have the blues . . . the Heart to Heart Challenge for this week was to create a card using blue as the main color. So I chose my favorite stamp set, Fabulous You, and Lagoon as my blue.

I used some of our retired color ready ribbon and dyed it with our Lagoon ink. The images are colored in with our colored pencils. The card shape is cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.

It's the perfect card for a favorite friend.

Have a stampy day!
