Sweet Holiday Wishes

Do you have coffee loving friends like I do?  What a fun card!  This coffee cup diecut is a Cricut cut, and I used paper from Beary Christmas.  The pine branches are from the Flower Market cartridge.  The Confetti Dots embossing folder is retired, but it sure was perfect for this card.  I also loved that circle of vellum to add even more depth.  Do you like that sentiment?  It's from the Season of Sweetness stamp set.  If you give food gifts at Christmas, this is a perfect set for you!

Fundamental Bundles

You are going to hear about this Fundamentals special a lot from me.  Why?  Hands-down,  I think this is the best special of the year!

Basics Fundamentals - $22.71

All that Basic goodness wrapped up into one bundle!  This bundle includes all of the new colors from the basics palette - Charcoal, Pewter, Pebble, Linen, Mink, Heather, Espresso, Nutmeg, Toffee, and Almond.  

Adventure Fundamentals - $22.11

I love the watercolor brushed patterns of this paper pack!    The bold colors of Pansy, Pacifica, Lagoon, Emerald, Willow, Lemon, Tangerine, Blossom, Raspberry, and Cranberry have been made just a little more subtle with the artistic flair of the designs.

Enchantment Fundamentals - $22.11

I know that many of you have been waiting for sports themed paper.  Enchantment is that bundle for you!  The complements and paper are generic enough to suit any sports and any schools.  Eggplant, Sapphire, Peacock, New England Ivy, Fern, Saffron, Goldrush, Poppy, Pomegranate, and Ruby are warm and very rich colors!

Whimsy Fundamentals - $22.11 

What beautiful spring colors!  Thistle, Crystal Blue, Glacier, Sweet leaf, Juniper, Flaxen, Canary, Sorbet, Pixie, and Smoothie are lovely colors for Easter, baby and wedding showers, Spring, and the beginning of Summer.  I know you have many photos and occasions for this paper!

I just can't even think of another place where you could get this much product in a bundle for just $22.11.  I love that Close To My Heart has offered this special!!

Fundamentals Mini Album

I created this Enchantment Fundamentals mini album for Convention in June.  I know many people have been waiting for this pattern!  

I am only showing a couple of photos here, but if you are on Facebook, I'd love for you to head over there and follow me on Brenda Rose, Close To My Heart Independent Consultant.  I am going to do a video of how this book opens and share it there along with some details about how you can add even more photos to this album with flip flaps.

An Artbooking overlay and matching diecuts in the same color as the background Enchantment paper gave the cover of this book a lot of depth.  The little gold arrow clip actually holds the book closed.

Now here is the inside of the book.  There are so many nooks and crannies that I couldn't possibly do this 6x6  album justice with a series of photos.  That's why I want to do a video.  This is the perfect album for holding sports memories.  It would be GREAT on a graduation display.

HERE IS THE PATTERN

The pattern I found to create this book is written in Italian, but at the top of the blog, you can translate it into English.  The measurements are in centimeters, but you can easily convert them to inches by using Google.  The gal that created this also has very good photos on how to build the base.  So I want to encourage you to give this album a try!

Thank you for stopping today!  I hope you have a blessed weekend!

Where Have I Been?

It's been over a month since I've posted, and I thought I'd better tell you a little bit about where I've been!  I've received several e-mails wondering if I was okay, and I wanted to let you know that I am certainly okay!  

At the end of September, my team held our yearly Operation Smile crop with 72 lovely scrapbookers.  What a wonderful event full of heart, love, and generosity!  This year we raised 34 smiles - over $8000!

My team members created over 60 items for the Silent Auction.  From card sets to scrapbook pages to home decor, there was something for everyone!  This next photo is all my team members that attended.

Also during the month of September, I earned the Thailand Incentive Trip!  I am beyond thrilled to be taking my son on this trip with me.  He is so excited about the food and culture, and I am so grateful that I work for a company that still rewards hard work.  Thank you to all of you, my downline, and my family for helping me achieve this goal!  Close To My Heart will be providing airfare to Bangkok, Thailand, and Phuket, Thailand, and all of the accommodations.  The trip is at the end of January, and I can't wait to tell you all about it!

I just returned from the Close To My Heart album retreat.  It was in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ, and it was two solid days of scrapbooking.  We learned so many new techniques that I will be incorporating in my scrapbooks and into classes.  We left with a completed album, and I will treasure that time!

Here is a photo of my team members that attended with me and the first page of my album.

One more thing I want to let you know...

I will post my Kits and Workshops on here, but I will also have them posted in the Shop section of my Facebook business page.  I will always link them when I show them here, but I do want to streamline my blog and make it easier for you.  You are still able to purchase through PayPal, so it will be the same easy process!

I want my blog to be a clean, quiet place when you come to visit, and I want it to be a place where you are inspired to create.  

It was good to catch up with you!  Thank you for popping in today.  Make your day be blessed!
