Rediscover Joy

During this holiday season, bring joy to those around you. Close To My Heart is offering a free download of darling tags to add to those special gifts for friends, family, neighbors or co-workers. Get creative and incorporate it in a card design like I have done here for the Mojo Monday sketch.

 

 

 

Look how cute these tags are!!

 

Download is available here until December 31st.

 

 

 

Several of the tags pair perfectly with the Season's Tweeting gift bags found in the Holiday's from the Heart gift guide! Simply print on card stock, cut them out and attach to gift, package, card or scrapbook page!

 

Sparkle & Shine Wreaths

Last Friday my group of ladies got together with me to create these curly ribbon wreaths. We used the Sparkle & Shine papers from the Holidays from the Heart gift guide. Cutting and curling the paper is a little time consuming, but we found plenty to talk and laugh about while we worked. I decided on a paper bow cut from the Artiste cartridge to finish it off. It has a small "joy" sentiment centered on a striped rosette.

Here are the ladies with their completed wreaths. Full of laughs and fun every time we get together!

November Stamp of the Month ~ Illuminate

 

 

View more details of the Stamp of the Month on the Current Specials page. You can also find more inspiration using the stamp on my Pinterest Stamp of the Month Board here.

Holiday Workshops

 

This month I will be hosting a Kraft Pocket Album workshop. This album can be created for multiple uses, it's your choice. My album has been done with a Huntington "grateful" theme, perfect for showcasing some Fall pictures of my family. You can choose any paper packet and embellishment assortment to make your album your own. The pockets don't only hold photographs! You can use the album to capture those great Christmas cards you'll be collecting soon or how about some favorite family recipes to keep safe! I can give you more details on this workshop if you are interested and will help you make your choices.

 

Also, when attending the Christmas card exchange you can stay to create a festive Sparkle & Shine flip album. Mini album pages using some photo mats from the Artbooking Cricut cartridge and a clever Ikea frame! It's very cool, you don't want to miss out on this workshop!

 

I could be sneaking in some more projects throughout this month, so stay tuned!

 

 

 

 

Holiday Gift Bags

When you have a small gift to give this season, don't just throw it in a boring box! Wrap it up in a super cute gift bag and adorn it with a darling tag!

The new Season's Tweetings gift bags from the Holiday's from the Heart Gift Guide are perfect! You can purchase the bags (6) separately or you can get them in a kit which includes a stamp set and tags. I chose to only purchase the bags and cut my own tags and use some of the many Christmas stamp sets I already have. I also threw in a strip of the new Party Washi wood grain tape.

Sparkle & Shine Workshop

You already know that the Workshop on the Go kits are filled with everything you need to complete a beautiful hand crafted project. You also know that the value is well worth it! Did you know how gorgeous the Sparkle & Shine kit is or that the pages created are not 'just' for the Holidays?

Take a look~

I created these layouts just as instructed in the brochure included in the kit. The top layout is definitely a Christmas page, because of the title. However, you will see the second layout is not at all for Christmas. It could be used for anything such as an encouragement story or celebration of a "shining moment"!

A close-up of the details~

The Sparkle & Shine Workshop on the Go is available in the new Holidays from the Heart gift guide. You will receive the Sparkle & Shine paper packet, instructional brochure, D-size stamp set, clear sparkle flourishes and Sparkle & Shine embellishment assortment. All this for $29.95!

Sparkle & Shine WOTG {G1071} can be ordered with me personally or online here.
