My Favorite Words!

"On the vehicle for delivery."  Last week I was stalking all blogs and message boards that I could find about the new Idea Book.  You see, I didn't make it to Convention so I had to live vicariously through my sister consultants.  As soon as I got the notification that my Idea Books had shipped, it was on to stalk the Order History to see where they were.  Then, this Wednesday, those beautiful words appeared and I came home to my boxes of Idea Books.  Once again, Jeanette Lynton has outdone herself with fresh new ideas and beautiful paper and inks.  Here is the cover of the book:

I've already begun to deliver some of these beautiful books to my customers.  You have to wait until August 1st to order, but we can dream while waiting can't we?   I've got all pages marked and now it's on to my lists of must haves from the latest and greatest.  

One of the new items that I just have to get is the newest Cricut cartridge Artiste.  Another cartridge that makes 700 images including 3D items.  It seems that no matter what I'm looking for in Cricut cartridges, Jeanette seems to know and that item shows up in the newest cartridge.  Last year I was looking for the boxes and tags Cricut cartridge and the Close To My Heart cartridge contained lots of boxes and tags.  This year I was looking for cupcake holders.  I actually found one at Walmart, but I wasn't ready to spend the money on it since I was saving my stash for the new Close To My Heart Idea Book.  Lo and behold, the new Artiste has cupcake holders.  God bless Jeanette.  I wonder what next year will bring?

Another new item that I have to have is the new organizational boxes.  They won't be available until September 1st, so I'll be ordering other things,but you'd better believe I'll be ordering those boxes as soon as they are available.  

Today though I'll be adding pictures to my 10 page Footloose layouts that we will be doing on August 4th and I'll be posting the results of that fun workshop next week.  This workshop was created by a fellow consultant, Tresa Black. She is so talented and so kind to offer these workshops to other consultants.  

Hope you all enjoy the beautiful New Hampshire weather this weekend.  I'll be spending time in my crafting corner as my new product is due to arrive today!  I couldn't wait until my Idea Books arrived and ordered some things last Friday.  

Dreamin

Had a blast over the weekend creating these layouts.  I love this paper pack that is now retired.  It will be available, however, when you place a $75 order on my website July 6th - 10th.  I took these pictures while visiting my son and his family last fall.  I was able to meet my newest grandson and cuddle with him for a whole week.  I knew that this paper pack would be a perfect fit for the wonderful photos I took.  

Full of Mischief

Here is a paper pack that is available through July 5th with a $75 order.  You also get the felt embellishments  all for free!  I loved using this paper pack for the Trick or Treat photos of my grandchildren.  That night we actually went to the house where my husband's mother grew up.  I was so glad I was there to get a photo and was able to journal about it on the layout.  We moved to the town where she grew up 12 years ago.  Nana has been gone for five years now, but I'll always think of her when I drive by the house she used to call home.

  

So Cute

We will be making the cards in this video at the crop this Saturday.  So cute and so easy.  During this busy time of the school year, it's a relief to be able to make something this adorable so quickly.

Woo Hoo It's Stampaganza Time!!!!

During the month of June, buy two stamps and get one free!  The free stamp is of equal or lesser value.  It's been a while since I've seen this special.  I am so happy that I'll be able to stock up on some of my favorite Alphabet stamp sets!!!  

I've been MIA for a little while. Got one of those nasty viruses that kept me down for a while.  Thank goodness I got better in time for Free Fishing Day in New Hampshire.  It was a rainy, rainy weekend, but that didn't matter.  I had a blast!  Now my husband asked me if I would go fishing if I had a choice between fishing and scrapbooking.  Now that was not a fair question!  I would scrapbook, of course.  Tee hee.  Here's one that did not get away ;-)

Oh, What a Victory!

Just finished watching the Kentucky Derby.  I can't imagine how exciting it must be to see it in person!  You never know if the favorite will win and today he didn't.  Can you imagine how excited the winning owner must be!  My winner today is the Victory paper pack.  I was so happy to see a paper that would work so well for the men in my family.  With two sons in the Army, those colors certainly go with many of my pictures.  They are also great to use for outdoor pictures.  Here is what I came up with.  I started with the Workshop on the Go and then made another layout for my swap.  There was plenty of paper and I'm so excited that I'll be able to scrap many more pictures with this wonderful paper pack.

My swap pages were fun to make.....

We also swapped a card.  This pattern came from the Workshop On The Go too.

Well, I'm off to my creative corner to put the finishing touches on the layouts I created last weekend.  I have been so anxious to do this all week.  But you know what it's like.  Someone has to work.

Have a great day!

I'm Back!!

I spent a wonderful time last weekend with friends at a scrapbook retreat in the North Country. Loved my time and had so much fun.  Can you believe I created 21 layouts?   That is 42 pages!!! Now I do have to get my trusty Cricut out to make some titles, but other than that, they are done done done.  

As promised, I will be sharing pictures of my Sympathy/Get Well Card Kit for sale.  I haven't been able to plan a Card Workshop, so I decided to make kits to sell.  Sometimes life just gets in the way. You make 10 cards for $10.  How great is that?   If you would like a kit of your very own, please contact me at detty1957@hotmail.com. Kits come stamped and ready to assemble or you can choose to use your own stamps to make creations of your own.  For payment, I take Paypal or you could mail a check.  So here is what I came up with.......

I just love that hedgehog, don't you?  You make two of each card and you're ready for those times when you must come up with a card quickly.  I will also have these card kits available at my next crop on May 19th.  This crop benefits the Booster Committee of Tri-City Christian Academy.  We scrap from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm at 12 Rocky Hill Road in Somersworth, NH.  We'd love to see you there.  $10.00 pays for your space and you get a yummy meal prepared by one of our scrappers.  Hope to see you there!
