Zoe WOTG

With the upcoming release of the 2015-16 Annual Inspirations Idea Book, Close to My Heart isn't going to leave you completely hanging!!  ZOE has been released early! 

This beautiful collection has soft tones featuring canary, glacier, slate, sorbet, sweet leaf, whisper, and white daisy.  Besides the normal paper, embellies and such, a Workshop on the Go (WOTG) Scrapbooking Kit is available for Zoe.

  This kit is perfect for to scrap without doing the creative legwork.  I love these kits because they come with all the materials I need for 2 awesome 2-page 12"x12" layouts; I usually end up with extra embellies and paper scraps to make cards with.  Plus, I don't have to waste time trying to figure out which pattern/s to use!! It's already done for me.

Here are the two layouts you can create with this kit:

Blossom Cards - #3

The Blossom Workshop on the Go (WOTG) Card Kit ROCKS!!

It's easy & quick to assemble and I used EVERY single stamp in the set.  Plus I usually alter the cards in some way; I didn't feel compelled to do so at all with this kit!

Snowhaven Cards - 3

The Snowhaven Workshop on the Go (WOTG) card kit was such an easy and cute kit to use!

I highly recommend it if you like non-traditional holiday cards.  You can even change them up and make them wintery-birthday cards! I may have to take my own advise and try it! LOL

You get all the supplies to make 15 cards - 5 of 3 designs.  Here is the third design from this WOTG kit. I altered some of them (cuz I can't help it) and plus it will give you some inspiration on how to change it up!

For this card, I mostly kept it the same.  To get the LOVE in Ruby, I stamped it on a scratch piece of paper, cut it out and then adhered it to White Daisy piece after stamping the entire image.

Adding in the Red Shimmer Trim, changing up the papers, and stamping in Black vs. Glacier can really make a difference!  I'd say the card below was my favorite altered design.

This is a SUPER cute kit - get it now so you can get your Holiday cards done in a jiff!  Get your Snowhaven Card WOTG kit now!!

Snowhaven Cards - 2

LThe Snowhaven paper pack is one of my favorites from the new Idea Book.  I love the color combination of the Cranberry, Glacier, Slate & Black.  The Workshop on the Go (WOTG) card kit for this paper pack is super cute!

You get all the supplies to make 15 cards - 5 of 3 designs.  I am going to share with you the cards, of the second design, I made from this WOTG kit and how I altered them to give you some inspiration.

The card on the far left is the one the kit says to make.  I really liked using the tree stamp and the sentiment stamp (Be Merry, Be Warm..) at the top!  I changed the stamp I used on the dove tails, swapped the silver shimmer trim for washi tape or red shimmer trim.  For the most part, I didn't alter these cards much.  I was very content with the design as it was.

WHAT: By participating in a club, you will purchase the kit or products to create the club project each month (or designated duration). In turn, you’ll have the opportunity to earn hostess rewards!   

WHEN: The club commitment is 6 months – this provides equal opportunity for all members to earn hostess rewards (minimum of $25 in FREE products*), at least once.

WHERE: You create the projects at your own pace, in the comfort of your own home.  For those that are local, we will definitely be scheduling time to get together & complete the projects too.  The projects will come with directions, either in the WOTG or created by me.

WHY:  Earn hostess rewards, spread out purchasing the products you want, and/or get some original things to create.

HOW:  Payments are due by the 15^th of each month and orders will be shipped out within the following week.  Check, credit card, cash, or PayPal transfers are accepted.

Hostess rewards will run as follows:
