What have you done with the photos you have taken over the past several months? cameraWhy not save your photos where you can see them and share them?

If you are like the majority of people, they are digital images and are living on your camera’s memory card, the cameral roll in your phone, or they have been transferred to live on your computer. If that’s exactly where your images are, are you getting a chance to view them and enjoy them; or share them with others? Even share them with those who are in the photos? If, ‘Yes,’ then I bow and applaud your actions!

If not, I would like to invite you to join me in getting some memories onto pages we can view and share! This will be a monthly event, and to get this party started, I am offering to share 7-double page layouts, which include the cut dimensions and layout instructions, all for the low cost of…. FREE!

Adventure Fundamentals

Register for the club workshop and you’ll receive the cutting instructions. Then, on Sunday afternoon, October 9th, you can join me for an online LIVE event and we’ll put our pages together! The event will be recorded so don’t feel like you miss out if you can’t attend live. The vibrant colors in the Adventure Fundamentals paper pack will be perfect for putting together summer memories! We’ll push through October with our scrapbooking, and also have our October LIVE event at the end of October.

You could use the cut instructions on coordinating papers you have, or follow along with me and, with just a few supplies, have as close to a done-for-you scrapbook as you can get!

To make it easy to follow along, future workshops will be sent to you after you have ordered the Close to My Heart paper packs we will be using. You may order each month separately, or all at once. It’s up to you! However, should your order reach $150, be sure and let me know before you place your order, so that you can receive Hostess credit!

We will be using these Close To My Heart products for this first September workshop:

Four Scrapbook Layouts Using Studio J

Posted on by

Since I was out of town, but wanted to get a scrapbook page done each day for the Layout A Day challenge, I decided to turn to the Studio J free online software from Close to My Heart. I knew I had plenty of digital photos, and Studio J would be easy to access while I was away!

When I get ready to create a scrapbook page, I often look through my photos and find some that I haven’t done anything with, but I want to make sure the story gets told. This week I created a page of my daughter’s graduation, a firetruck ride my grandson took, and my granddaughter’s t-ball experience last summer, and photos of a crashed car and new car of another daughter.

The most recent event was a graduation.

graduation
This layout uses the digital kit, Notebook and the layout is 6-photo, Through the Lens.

firetruck ride scrapbook layoutThis layout of a firetruck ride uses the digital kit, Later SK8R, and the 6-photo layout, Golden Section.

tball digital scrapbook layout
This next layout is my granddaughter while playing t-ball during the summer. This is from the digital kit Discovery, using the 7-photo layout Sweet Symphony. I guess my time spent with cameras shows in my journaling, as I spelled “cannon” as “canon,” making it a camera. Luckily I can go back in and fix the  mistake before I print the pages!

new car scrapbook layout
This final layout shows photos of not only a new car my daughter got, but the reason why. A friend of mine said it was sure a pretty layout for such photos! Might as well make it better looking, right? This layout used the digital kit LaBelle Vie, and the 4-photo layout Leading Lady.

If you’d like to find out more about Studio J and how to use it, please let me know by signing up below and you’ll have access to our live and recorded sessions showing what’s it all about and how to create layouts. During each session, we’ll walk through a specific kit and do a layout! Hope to see you there!

 

 

Close to My Heart Special Deal!

Many of you know how crazy I am about scrapbooking, and also technology! I love scrapbooking the old fashioned paper way, digitally, and even hybrid (combing a little of both!)  So recently, when I found out that Close to My Heart was offering to throw in a Cricut bundle with new consultant sign-ups, I couldn’t resist!

The special Close to My Heart (CTMH) Cricut bundles are packed full with each cartridge having 700 images, 3 coordinating stamp sets, and 2 coordinating sheets of white chipboard embellishments! Because I love to share good things with you, I would be remiss if I didn’t tell YOU about the great deal going on until April 30th. Until the end of April, you can join Close to My Heart for $99, and select a free Cricut bundle (normally $99 alone!). That means you are getting over $408 of retail product for just $99. So what’s the catch? There is none!

Close to My Heart April 2014 offer

You will have from now until the end of September to decide exactly what you want to do with Close to My Heart — whether you want to continue as a hobbiest to receive the discount, or you want to build your business, or it’s not anything you want to continue with. It’s all up to you, no foul, no harm!

The company has both fantastic products and customer service! You are not required to keep inventory, so it is easy to get started with the new consultants kit!

Details:

  • Spring/Summer Consultant Kit is only $99 plus shipping and tax (about $124)
  • It includes over $300 worth of “real” product…inks, multiple stamp sets, 3 acrylic blocks, stamp cleaner and scrubber, several embellishment packs, trim, adhesive, liquid glass, inking sponge,printed chipboard, 2 design book and more
  • PLUS your choice of 1 CTMH Cricut Cartridge Bundle: ART PHILOSOPHY, ARTISTE OR ARTBOOKING that includes 3 matching stamp sets and 2 sheets of white chipboard embellishments
  • You do NOT have a quota for April, May, June so enjoy your kit, start showing friends and family the products and see if you have people interested in ordering from you as a CTMH Consultant
  • If you or anyone wants to order they can do so online through your free CTMH website you get and product ships directly to them so you don’t even have to deliver anything …remember you get a 22% on all orders placed including your own.
  • If you want to continue being a Consultant you have a $300 quota each quarter to meet…your first quarter is July, August, September (that’s only $100 a month and easy to do if you try).
  • If you don’t sell $300 total for July, August and September then at end of September you stop being a consultant automatically and get to keep all your kit …

So it is totally worth it to give CTMH a try….and join my team of consultants and I will help you in anyway I can while we have fun!

  • You will receive a free “Whisper to Go” (that’s a project pdf instructions for the cartridge you selected when you join -courtesy of Cara Mlller)
