Thinking of You Box

It feels like I'm not showing you much artwork these days, but I have been busy creating loads of artwork every single day!  I am getting boards and make 'n' takes ready for my Open House next Saturday, August 4th.  Are you planning to come?  Click on the Open House tab at the top of my blog for all the details!

I thought I would show you one of the projects guests will be making that day.  I've only had my Artiste cartridge a little over a week, but I am in LOVE with the different images and all the 3-D items it can make!  So when you visit my Open House, I want you to try some of the fun things on the cartridge.

Isn't this about the prettiest little box you've ever seen?  Well, you are going to find out how fast simple and easy it is to make!  It is the perfect size for a gift of jewelry or some pretty wrapped chocolates.  I love this pattern!

This is made from a new paper - La Belle Vie - with a little of our new Black Tulle ribbon.  Next Wednesday -  August 1st - you'll be able to view and purchase these items in their entirety on my website.

I know a lot of my readers are long distance.  Would you like an online invitation to my Open House?  It's easy!  I'll send you an EZ Invite link on August 1st, and if you place an order by August 4th, you will get two things:

• tickets into my Mystery Hostess Rewards drawings for my Open House, and 
• I will mail you the pieces and directions for this box

I am SO VERY EXCITED about the new product and ideas in the new Fall/Winter Idea Book, and I want you to experience all these good things, too!  So if you'd like an EZ Invite, just respond to this post with your e-mail address or send me off an e-mail at girlygirlrose43@msn.com.  Whether you come to my Open House or place an order long distance, I truly look forward to helping you with your Close To My Heart needs!

Going Places...Come to My Open House!

Ok, if I don't show you a sneak peek from the new Close To My Heart Spring/Summer Idea Book, I just might burst!  This book goes live on February 1st, and you are going to love it!  The artwork is beyond phenomenal, and the paper packets are awesome!  Well, I'll let you be the judge as I share a little Cruisin' with you.

Amazing, right?  This paper is so much fun!!  Along with this paper, I've used the matching foil image stickers (are you lovin' that gas tank?!) Pennant Alpha stamp set (available now!), the upcoming April stamp of the month (you will be seeing a lot of this!), and baker's twine (we have 8 colors starting on February 1st!).

If you are local, plan on coming to see this layout and all the other papers up close at my Open House on Saturday, January 28th.  The hours are 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.  I'll have four make and takes for you, new product preview, class sign ups, and I'll choose a mystery hostess!

If you are long distance, you can click on the button on my left sidebar to order your Spring/Summer Idea Book.  I send you a $5.00 coupon to use on your next order!

Open House

I am busy getting ready for my Open House.  I am having so much fun readying my living room and creating make and takes for my guests!  If you are in the area, my Mystery Hostess Open House is:

Friday, August 19th - 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Saturday, August 20th - 9:00 am to 1:00 pm

I have loads of artwork to share with the new paper packets, and I will be having three quick make and takes.  Here's a peek at those projects:

If you are long distance, you can still participate in the Mystery Hostess Rewards!  You simply need to place your order by Saturday, and I will put tickets in the drawing for you.

I am so looking forward to seeing those of you that can make it!
