New 5-month Paper Club


Starting July 3rd my new 5-month Paper Club will be starting. 

 In doing my first club, with anything first starting out, I've learned what to use, what works and what can be changed for the better.  With this new club, we will meet, or not meet*, for 5 months instead of 6.  There will still be the commitment however, for only 5 months this time around. 

 Each month you will receive a shopping list to guide you in the direction to purchase items you will be guaranteed to use for the following months projects.  The projects will be a variety of scrapbook layouts, cards, and 3D objects. 

 *After you place your order of $30 or more, you have the option of joining us on the first Tuesday of the month at 5pm or completing your projects at home.  With each order, you will receive a cutting guide from me including a full color packet to help you create your projects.  

 I will not be charging a cutting fee for your projects, as I will teach you how to read a cutting guide, saving you paper in the end. 


There will be no minimum or maximum of seats so everyone can join!


If you believe you can benefit from this Paper Club, filled with lots of ideas and fun, please email, call or text me and I will send you out the first month's shopping list. 

July's Layouts using CTMH Footloose WOTG and compliments




Bonus layouts will be included in full color packet when you place your order.

Studi J: Digital Scrapbooking Program

Love, love, love Studio J! I was able to complete 2 wedding albums in one week with the program. All I did was load up the photos, choose a paper pack, one of the 6 layouts given, and then customize! So easy!!  46 pages in 5 days....could never do by hand! Not to mention for the same price.
 


Check it out for yourself.  Go to Studioj.com, create an account for free and give it a whirl.  If you like what you've created buy it outright for $13 for the 2-page layout OR save money in the long run and buy a membership and save 50% on every layout! Starting at just $30 (memberships have great perks!).

Operation Smile

In April, I will be going to CTMH Leadershare and I'm so stoked!!  I've been waiting for a leadershare to be close enough to home for me to attend and I'm so glad I've waited this long!  One of my teammates will be the host, Kristina Livingstone! 

One of the events that takes place is a live auction with all donations going toward Operation Smile  This charity that CTMH has been a part of is amazing!  Be sure to check out their website.  If you'd like to make a donation, please visit my website http://www.pieceandpaper.ctmh.com   

I've been asked to create a "wowie" gift to donate for the live auction.  I was so honored and of course, started it right away.  Here is what I will be donating for the auction for Operation Smile.



Everything used is in the Spring/Summer 2012 CTMH Idea Book.  I've made everything from scratch and plan on bidding on this 'wowie' myself! 

Thanks for stopping by :)

Easter Time?

The weather is beautiful and spring, hopefully, is on its way! 

Inspiration has led to a CTMH mini-banner for Easter featuring the New Mini-Banner and new Springs! 

I used the CTMH Cricut Cartridge to cut out all the banner shapes and eggs.  The Letters are stamped in Chocolate using the CTMH Varsity Alpha set.  Colors include Vanilla Creme, Gypsy, Goldrush, Topiary and Chocolate. 

So darling and it is already hanging on my craft wall! 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful warm day! :)

Smashin' and beautiful

The new journal - A smash book.  So I just 'had' to have one.  I made my own using old chipboard and kraft paper for the pages and covered in CTMH's NEW paper pack. LUCY!  Love the Lucy paper pack and how this turned out.  Its so purrrddy just don't want to use it now.... 
Used CTMH cardstock stickease alphabet letters sprayed with sweetleaf and pearl paint. The rub-ons 'and beautiful' are the new rub-ons that coordinate with the Lucy papers.


Throughout my book I made different size pages with kraft paper and chipboard.  Also, all different pocket tags and journal spots.




Do you have a smash book? Or will you make one soon?
