Florentine Workshop on the Go

The Workshop on the Go kits have such great value and versatility! I just love them!

Tomorrow night we will be creating with the beautiful Florentine kit! I love this package! It is stunning to work with!

I have included my helper Shylow  in these photos as she was determined to get some attention :)

The blue blank on the bottom page is going to be for my journaling as I will be adding flip flaps (which are just too cool!) to the finished product of my pages :)

Happy Crafting!

Tempo Dance Academy & Rhythm Dance Academy

Hello and welcome to everyone! I am a Mom of a dancer at Tempo Dance - my daughter has danced there since she was about 5 years old and loves it! I wanted to help with the fundraising this year and show some great craft ideas for the beginner to the advanced! I am an independent consultant for Close to My Heart and host scrapbooking and card making classes. I have come up with three options for the fundraiser. If you want to purchase a Scrapbook or Card kit for $20 you will receive this fabulous stamp set to keep and all the paper and embellishments needed to make your project! I will offer classes for those wishing to take part and there will also be instructions included in for those who don't...or can't :) The stamp set is called Aspire and is absolutely gorgeous!

With this wonderful set you can make either the scrapbook layout (aren't they cute!!!):

With the card class you can make 3 of each of the two designs below:

Or if you are not the crafty type but want to support the fundraiser you can purchase a pre-made set of 6 Thank you cards for $12:

I hope you will help support our fantastic dancing schools!

Dancing is like...

So I am really enjoying making this metal stamped jewelry! It is just too much fun! My husband is right on board and so helpful which is great! For Valentine's day I made a couple more of the keychains - had an order for these for a friend of mine to give to her family with her special message on them. I think these keychains have so many possibilities!

I made our daughter a necklace for Valentine's day. She LOVES to dance so I used the saying "Dancing is like dreaming with your feet" and then hung a music note and peace sign on it. She loves it! Had a hard time wrestling it away from her to get the picture!

Look for more designs to come...if you have something you would like to order let me know: 1026designs@gmail.com Happy Crafting! Susann

Metal stamped jewelry

I have been very intrigued by the metal stamped jewelry ever since I went to New Year just over a year ago with a girlfriend. We saw some beautiful jewelry that happened to find it's way into my suitcase...in fact...I do believe I came home with almost one of everything :) That was gorgeous and I loved the idea of giving a gift with a message attached for the recipient. With that in mind I have been looking at metal stamping for a while now and thought I would give it a go. I have been playing around this weekend and I made my husband his valentine gift. It was inspired by my beloved Pinterest...absolutely loved this idea and had to give it a go. There are 4 pennies on this keychain. One for the year he was born (coincidentally that happens to be the same year as I was born...double whammy!), the year we met, the year we got married and the year our daughter was born. Then I handstamped the words "Rockin Years" on the back piece as that was our wedding song. I hope he loves it as much as I do!

I also made this necklace with the phrase "Life is a Song" on the larger ring and on the inner ring it says "Love is the lyrics"

Would love to hear your feedback! Happy Crafting! Susann

Elemental Workshop on the Go - tomorrow night

The Elemental Workshop on the go is the last kit we will be doing from the Autumn/Winter 2011 catalog...sad because there were some great kits in there...but on to 2012 after this! The Workshop on the Go is a very affordable kit that includes the supplies to do at the minimum a double page layout which is included when you purchase the kit - plus, normally there is enough supplies to do another one or two layouts or a couple of cards. You also get to keep the stamp set that comes with it! You can't beat that!

Happy Crafting! Susann

Spring/Summer 2012 catalog available

I have been very busy with the open house launch of the new catalog and playing with all the goodies! I have sent in our first order from the catalog so some ladies have new product on it's way :) This is a card that I made using the new Florentine papers which are GORGEOUS! In fact I am so in love with it that I will be doing this kit first as the Workshop on the Go class!

Enjoy your Saturday! Susann
