Extravaganza Artwork - "Scholastic"

What an experience it has been to make all these projects for the Extravaganza at the 2012 Close To My Heart Convention in Dallas this year. I was assigned the "Scholastic" paperpack, stickease and coordinating embellishments. This is one of the new lines in our Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book which is will be available on August 1, 2012. All the projects also have images cut from the new "Artiste" cricut cartridges that is only available from a CTMH consultant beginning August 1st. It is so fabulous, you are going to love it! 

You can purchase the Scholastic paperpack, coordinating embellishments, new 3-d items and new cricut cartridge beginning August 1st on my website here. Happy Shopping!

Stella Easel Card with drawers

I had the opportunity and pleasure to make an item for the silent auction at the Close To My Heart 2012 Convention held in Dallas, Texas. I made one of my easel card boxes but chose to make it three levels high. I used all CTMH products including the Stella paperpack, Stella canvas stickers, rhinestone flourishes and bouquet assortment embellishments.

You can see a video tutorial in the right column on my blog which shows one layer of drawers. 

Thanks for looking!

  

I love making these journals! They are so quick and easy to make. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and try one for yourself.

Magnolia Thank you Easel Card

This is the card that I made for my daughter's grade three teacher this year. As the year comes to a close, my daughter is anticipating missing Ms. Renton next year as she has been her favourite teacher so far. I wanted to make her something special to thank her for the guidance and teaching she gave my daughter.

Thanks so much Ms. Renton!

It's Stampaganza time!

Just a quick note to let you know that June is "Stampaganza" with Close To My Heart where for every two stamps you purchase, you get a third one for FREE (of equal or lesser value). This is the perfect opportunity to get caught up on your stamps sets.

I will be posting a lot of my artwork and I have a lot more video tutorials in the near future planned, so stay posted!

Grand Victorian Box tutorial

I am so excited that I was able to make another video tutorial. I have been wanting to do this  for some time. I used the Close To My Heart Cricut cartridge called Art Philosophy to make this awesome gift box. I decorated it with both Lucy and Florentine paper and finished them off with the roses made with the cricut cartridge as well.

You can shop online at my website here.
