I LOVE My Son/Daughter - Dog/Cat & Get Hoppy!! - Hostess Club April Layouts
For this layout I used two of my new favorite CTMH stamps! Togetherness(D1402)and Cocitail Alphabet (E1015)! I couldn't wait to put the 2 of them together. I used the cardstock sorbet, olive, bamboo, & cocoa and black ink.
Don't be afraid - I have everything pretty much cut out and stamped for you. Depending on the amount of free time I have left this week, it could possible all be done, but not making any promises.
The first page will have some adjustments too for son and daughter, but it's so cute I want to save it for a special surprise seen in person!!! Another one of my new favorite stamps - ok, let's admit it every time I get a new stamp it's my favorite!!






From Tanya:
I'm going to admit to you all that I had a really hard time getting "hoppy" with this layout. Although I love Easter, I'm not a huge fan of pastel colors. But I tried several different layouts and in the end, I found my "hoppy" place. And now I'm finally ready to introduce my contribution to April's Hostess Club Layouts. (Colette's is done as well so we'll get them posted together soon.)
Just a few notes: the cute little bunny on the bottom is pretty much CASED from Tara Kenyon. Also, the flowers were made using homemade glitter mists and they are FABULOUS! Hostess Club members, you're going to love them!
It's still a bit hard to see in this picture but these flowers are quite shimmery. To give these plain white Just Blooms the color and sparkle, I mixed 1/2 rubbing alcohol to 1/2 pearl paint and then added reinker (amount is based on the color saturation you are going for). I shook it up and sprayed it out of a little 2 oz mister bottle. I couldn't believe how evenly the color went on and how shimmery they got!

February Stamp of the Month - Piece of Cake
I'm sooooooo in love with this month's Stamp of the Month - entitled piece of cake. I used the cuttlebug to emboss CTMH paper and sanded to reveal the white core on the background piece of paper. Then used paper piecing and a lot of liquid glass to create these 2 Birthday cards.... which I think may end up as card kits for sale for $2 each! I highly recommend getting this stamp set - click on the picture on the right to find out exactly how to get it in February only!!!

February - Calendar Club
February Calendar layouts were designed by Tanya this month. These adorable layouts should be able to be put together pretty easily!


Calendar club meets the 1st Saturday of every month at the Community Blood Center.
Each month members make a concurrent month for 2011 so that at the end of the month you have a completed calendar to give as a gift for Christmas or to keep for yourself.
Cost of the Calendar is $8 for the large calendar and $8.50 for the event calendar (which can be used over and over). The cost each month is $3 for large and $.75 for the event.
We won't be able to take more members for long, so please let Tanya or I know if you are interested!!

Crazy for Cards!!
In preparation for Christmas I've been making cards like crazy these last two weeks to give as gifts to my family. Last year I gave them as gifts and my cousin used them....the people who received them were crazy for them. So, this year she wanted to give them as gifts to her friends. So needless to say, I made about 125 cards in the last two weeks.... CRAZY!!! Here are a sample of just a few I made.

January Hostess Layout - You Rock & Playin' with snow
This will be one of the options available for January 2010 Hostess Club or for purchase of $5. Check out the right column if interested in joining a Hostess club, many spots available!!!
For this layout I used the following Close to My Heart items: Paper, Petal, Grey Flannel, White, Stamp Sets: Poaster Board E1014, Field Trip alphabet E1013, Let it Snow B1182, Blooming Fourishes D1263, Ink Pads: Black Z2105, Grey flannel Z2124, Petal Z2161, White Daisy Z2163, Markers Z2361 Petal, Z2328 Hollyhock, Liquid applique & silver brads
This page was made for a girl, but by choosing a blue marker instead of holly hock the hat and bird can easily be geared toward a boy. Don't be afraid to make this page your own! Omit the flourishes and add more snowflakes and suddenly it's a totally different layout.
