Clippy Board swap

I love the concept of these little clippy boards! It's a neat way to hold your Post-It notes. Essentially it's just made of a coaster covered with paper and then a binder clip holds the Post-Its on the coaster. SO COOL!!

This is the first ever "swap" I've participated in. I joined two rounds, so I had to made two groups of 11 clippy boards, each group using one pape pack and one stamp set, then I mail them to the gal in charge of the swap. She gets all the clippy boards from the other 10 ladies envolved and she'll separate them so that we each get one of all the others' clippy boards and mail them back to us. Then we'll all have 10 clippy boards that are all different!

It was so fun making them...except having to stamp EVERY page on EVERY Post-It. Can't wait to see what all the other ladies made!

Layout from a party

This two-page layout was a fun one from a recent party at my house. We used the "Imagine"book from CTMH to help the ladies easily cut their own paper and put together their layouts. We had lots of fun, and I think it gave them the confidence to try it on their own at home. I love it when I can help aid in others' creativity!

Materials: All CTMH. "Imagine" layout guide by Jeanette R. Lynton, Sasparilla B/T paper, Colonial White CS, Black CS, Playful Fourishes stamo set, Barn Red, Chocolate and Desert Sand Exclusive inks, Black Exclusive marker, Dimentional Elelments Flower Garden, liquid glass, stylus, sanding kit. Other-white printer paper.

This is a card I made for a fellow Eastern Star member that lost her husband last week. I wanted to use an appropriate paper set that was respectful and elegant; "Silhoutte" fits those needs perfectly.

Materials: Colonial White CS, Silhoutte B/T papers, Black Exclusive ink and marker, "Just Blooms" White Daisy, Black eyelets, sponge, edge distresser, corner rounder. All CTMH. Ribbon is contraband from local store.

Here's another two-page layout from the "Magic Moments" scrapbook kit. I love this kit! And to know it was so popular during National Scrapbooking Month, that CTMH is now offering it and coordinating L1, L2, and MyStickease in the new catalog is AWESOME!!

Materials: All printed layout pages, stickers, and ribbon are from the CTMH "Magic Moments" scrapbooking kit.

Card Purse

Here are some card "purses" I made for a silent auction my two good friends are doing to help raise money for the Breast Cancer 3Day. I originally found this idea on our CTMH bulliten board from a fellow consultant Tharesa. There are two Christmas sets, one all occasion, and three smaller 4x4 card sets. Hopefully they're a big success and raise a bit of money!

Materials: All cardstock, B/T papers, inks, markers, brads, ribbons, punches and stamp sets are CTMH. If you want the detailed list, just ask.

Other: a contraband apoxy sticker from somewhere I went like 8 years ago that I don't remember.

Baby shower card

I love using the "Nursery Bash" SS! Can't wait to make one with the July SOTM that coordinates perfectly. Just got one yesterday. So this card is for my friend Melissa who is due early Sept. A little girl named Ella Mae. It'll be fun to make some girly stuff with Mel wanting me to make her baby scrapbook.
