Valentine gifts

I don't get a lot of projects done in order to post here on a regular basis.  Working on raising little people.  But I did get a few Valentines made for my children's teachers and a few neighbor treats.  I know this is a bit late for your Valentine projects but they really show off the great projects that can be made any time of year using the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge for the Cricut.  I have been wanting to do all of the fun things possible since I purchased it but haven't taken the time. 

I stuffed these little goodies with yummy Ghirardelli chocolates.  

supplies used-

Kraft paper

Art Philosophy Cartridge

Vineyard berry cardstock and ink pad

paper of choice for flowers

your choice of stamps for saying and flourish

twine

  This is a great deal.  Even if you don't scrapbook online you know others that do and who doesn't like gift cards?  Buy one get one free= 10 layouts for $55 dollars,  includes shipping and handling.  That is $2.75 a page. 
   I personally do Classic Scrapbooking but this past year I made two additional scrapbooks, one for my parents and one for my in-laws.  I would never have done those by hand, so much time and work. But with Studio J they were done quickly and beautifully.  Thus making these 5 packs great to have on hand for those times when you want pages done Simply and Beautifully.  
  Or if you have been on the fence about online scrapping this is a great time to try it out with no commitment.  You don't have to be a member to use these.  Create your pages and redeem your card at checkout and you are done.

Its New and fun!

It is February and I can finally let the new Spring/ Summer 2012 Close To My Heart catalog out of the bag.  As we forge through winter it was fun to browse through this catalog and think of warmer days.  I am so excited to use these new products and combine some of them with my older stuff too.
Let me know if you want in on this warm creativity.  Request a catalog or select my  order page and go to the online shopping to browse for yourself and buy directly from there!  Spend $50 and get the Stamp of the Month for $5.

Operation Smile

This organization is a little closer to home in the fact that my Sweet and Fabulous Sister-in-law, Heather, has gone on 20+ Operation Smile trips in the capacity of Nurse.  I am amazed at the sacrifice of time, talent and money these doctors, nurses and other staff  put into giving to others.
 Thank you.

A little something' for everyone.

Along with the "Rock the Block" promo...We are giving those who are of the Studio J persuasion a little fun too...
Go January!!!




















For those that haven't tried Studio J yet.  You can play around with it without commitment.  But I am telling you that it is so nice and easy.  I still do Classic Scrapbooking for myself and my children's books, but I put together an album for my parents and my in-laws using Studio J.  I wouldn't have done it another way.  It was just so easy and fast.  So for those special times when you don't have time...Studio J is there to make it special in no time.

Happy New Year!
