August Stamp of the Month and Fundamentals Paper

I love it when the Stamp of the Month's are so versatile that they can be used all year long!  The labels in the August SOTM lend themselves well to being used as little tags on bags and boxes, but work perfectly on cards too.

The fundamentals paper packs are being redesigned and we'll get all new patterns in September so I have been busily using up my current patterns.  Pair the fundamentals up with matching cardstock and it creates a great monochromatic look.  (okay, I added a pop of grey..so can you!.. .LOL)

Project Organization CTMH style

I am absolutely LOVING the Marker and Accessory roll-ups from CTMH!  They are made from a really sturdy denim-ish (new word!) fabric.  Ever since I got the marker roll-up, I have been looking for excuses to color or to take my markers somewhere.  LOL.  I think I just like unrolling it to see them all lined up. Yes, I'm a nerd!!

If you NEED these roll-ups, you'll want to purchase them this month because you get extra FREEBIES when you order them in August.

Order your accessory roll-up in August and you receive the two newest Base & Bling style sheets FREE!  You can use them to create fun necklaces, zipper pulls, keychains... or use the adorable stickers on cards, scrapbook pages or mini-albums.

AND when you order the Marker roll-up (have I mentioned how much I love it???) You get this adorable hot-air balloon stamp set for FREE.  The stamp set is valued at $17.95!!!  That is such an awesome deal.

Don't delay...head on over to my website to get your roll-ups before the special is over!

Information and Tips:

When I first got my marker roll-up I thought I was never going to be able to snap it closed!!!  I had to roll it up a couple of times, snap it open and closed a few times and then it "broke" in.  So don't worry if it's a bit tight at first. 

CTMH Artistry Cricut Cartridge Rose Card

Uh oh....bad blogger here!!  I wrote a bunch of posts and never scheduled them to publish!!  Well, get ready for a bunch of new content coming your way, because I have an obsession... with the NEW CTMH Artistry Cricut Cartridge!!!!!

This rose is actually two pieces!  I cut the base in white, then cut the flower in Sunset.  I wanted to use my adorable polka-dot paper from the Zoe paper packet sparingly (I think I need it for more projects!!!!) so I just laid a piece on top of the leaves and hand cut around it.  

Products Used:

• Zoe Paper Pack
• Artistry Cricut Cartridge
• Topiary Ink
• S1508 Framed - August Stamp of the Month

You can order all of your Close To My Heart supplies on my website

New Series of Cricut Classes in San Diego!!

I receive a ton of requests for cricut classes and I have been wanting to add some for a very long time, but I needed to find a venue to teach at so that I could continue to hold my well loved regular crops/workshops.

Well I am excited to announce that I have found not ONE, but TWO amazing locations!!!!

I will be teaching at Foothills Adult School in El Cajon and the brand new Hobby Lobby in La Mesa!  What's the difference between the classes and which one should you take?

If you are new to cricut or you are intimidated by your machine and want to know all the things it can do, then you should definitely take my class at Foothills!!  It is three hours long and goes more in depth.  The facility has a projector so that I can project my laptop on the screen so everyone can see my demo.  It also has one of those cool tables with the mirror above it so you can see what buttons I push on the machine!!! (See below for upcoming dates)

My Hobby Lobby classes will be bite size portions of my Foothills Class.  At the beginning of each class I will demo a project or technique and give you little tips on how to cut it on your machine.  I will provide a goodie bag which will either contain a full project to complete or some of the materials that I demonstrated so that you can experiment and do it yourself.  Each class will be different so you can come over and over again to make new projects.

Cricut Classes at the La Mesa Hobby Lobby

Have a cricut machine, but not sure what to do next? Want to learn how to use some of the special features?  At each class I will demonstrate a technique or feature and share samples of how to incorporate them into your artwork. Each class will include a "goodie" bag with materials to experiment with and/or a project to complete.

This is a great class to take over and over again.  
We'll make different projects each time.

Fee $15
Must Pre-Register for the class.
Space is limited
