We're back! I hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Club is this coming Thursday (the 14th? I don't have a calendar in front of me)

FREE PROJECTS: Available to club members only:
"Rockstar" card and 12x12 "Boy page"

Extra project: $2.00 and you must RSVP. This "Explosion box" is a great gift. (The battery shows the size) It looks like an adorable box on the outside, but when you take off the lid it opens up into an explosion of pictures (after pictures are glued in). You must be present to create it and can custom pick your exterior papers and embellishments from my personal stash. Mine is just a sample. (and I have another style to show at club night)

As always, anyone is welcome to attend, just let me know if you would like to create the explosion box by Wednesday night so I can have it cut and ready! If you just want to come hang out, visit, and of course EAT, you are welcome to do that as well.

New Tally Chart!

2009-06-10T21:09:00.000-07:00

The old one was quite used and abused, but I liked the flower concept, so I copied it on new "Glittery" paper! Here it is:
FYI: Club members can earn tally marks for doing certain things listed on the stems of the flowers (attending, bringing artwork to show off, creating all available projects, bringing outside orders, spending extra money, ordering by end of club, and altering provided club projects.) The member with the most tally marks gets to choose first from my selection of prizes on the last night of club.

I also made a new "Please Come In" sign:
I love my job!

February Club WEDNESDAY the 18th

2009-02-10T15:46:00.001-08:00

Theme: Any Occasion

Club this month will be on WEDNESDAY the 18th. I know this is different, but 1/2 of the members will be gone, and my hubby will be on shift so, Wednesday it is!

I am excited about these projects because they are using the new Emporium paper pack that is adorable and so versatile. They are also two sided so you can make your projects different from the originals just by turning the paper over!

FREE project #1 is the page. It is very versatile and has lots of room for pictures. I have two completed that I will have at club to give you ideas of picture composition. I will also have the Rustic Alpha and Number stamp sets for you to choose from (or leave it blank).

FREE project #2 is this "Thinking of You" card that would be great for any occasion. It also has an envelope flat that you can stamp and add flair to if you want!

$1.00 project #1 is this circle opening card (envelope not shown)("thinking of you" again, perfect for any occasion!)

$1.00 Project #2 is this set of 2 3x3 cards. You guessed it...great for any occasion!

Please Leave a comment, or email me, what EXTRA projects you would like to do. Also, start thinking if you would like to renew your club commitment. April is the last month for club and I would like to keep going. I have a few options if we have less than the required 10 that we will talk about club night.

This month's Host is Amanda! (OH I forgot you wanted some idea books! I will get you some!)

The winner is...

2009-01-18T12:43:00.000-08:00

MOM!!!
(aka Kash)
Way to go!

What a close contest! I posted it on the close to my heart consultant bulletin boards and asked them to choose their favorite and the cut-off was 9:00. Well, at 9:00, Mom and Michelle were TIED! So i decided the next one would be the tie breaker...9:04 someone voted for the MTC layout for the WIN! What a close contest! It was incredible, even the last three were within 1 vote of each other! Way to go ladies!!!

Once again, the winning Layout (and FYI it was her first layout ever!)

January Club

2009-01-07T21:23:00.000-08:00

January club is on THURSDAY, the 15th

ATTENTION CLUBBERS... PLEASE REMEMBER:
I longer find it necessary to send the evites. Instead, I will just have you leave a comment on the corresponding club blog post, which you will (and have) receive the email with an attachment directing you here! In your comment, let me know if you will be in attendance, and any extra project(s) you would like to have prepared for you to do.

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great Christmas and have got it scrapped already! (yeah right!) Well, as you know, one of the free projects was taken home to be created on your own. Be sure to bring it to club and enter it in the contest. The other free project will be a Valentine card. (that can also be used as a wedding/anniversary/love card).

I only have one $ project this month (which means if you don't do it, all you will be making at club is the card... weird huh?!) The page below is a very generic neutral page that you could basically throw any pictures on, title, and call it good! I have also assembled a few ideas of arranging your layout to fit your scrapping needs.

This first one is what it will look like assembled.
These next 4 are just some photo layout ideas (the green pcs represent pictures/sizes)

This last one is how I completed mine.

I will post your "Homework" after I get pictures of all of them at club.

Remember if you can't attend, please have your order to me by Thursday, the 15th.

Jake _____ Castleberry...to be

2008-11-16T08:03:00.000-08:00

We had a family baby shower yesterday for KJ. It was a lot of fun, I love my cousins! KJ got a great variety of adorable, fun, and practical gifts for baby jake (who we hope comes at least one week before his December 26th due date) KJ was super excited when I offered to make a baby book for her (she even bought TONS of paper and embellishments for me to use in it!) Here is what it looks like pre-pictures, feel free to lift the ideas...they're from my awesome Close to my Heart Layout Books!

(remember to click on the picture to see a large version)

October Club

2008-10-06T18:18:00.001-07:00

I don't know why, but I am super pleased with these projects!!!

The page will fit one 4x6 pic on or under the photo mat. It will also fit 3, 3x3's on the right side (or 2 3x3's and one journaling mat.

The Mummy card is one of my favorites in a while (I totally lifted the idea off the internet, but still....SO CUTE!!!) Give it to someone for fun, an October birthday, or save it for a get well card!

Why not get started on Christmas? This Christmas card has tiny sparkles on the tree as well as one at the top. And you can't see the little red safety pin on the side, but it's there and it's adorable! Inside, it says, "Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree" ...I think!I love how this Christmas Frame turned out! It uses 4 coasters, hinges, buttons, and other darling embellishments. Mount pictures of your kids, other family members, or others you wish to see each christmas as you pull it out. (Or give it to Grandma for a gift!)

September Club Projects

2008-09-08T09:18:00.000-07:00

Page:
The new paper packs have 2 sided b&t paper!!!!! The paper for this project is blue/pink so you can decide if you want a boy page or a girl page! I am using this page for my kids "First day of School" Pictures. (I had my kids write on their page too! Hopefully I will have pictures in by club)
Pillow box:
This is a fun gift box to fill with candy, money, jewelry, (pokemon cards...) whatever! It is about (not exactly) 4x5 and you will be able to choose the color of sassy strand.
Cup Bag:
Ever made an emergency drinking cup from paper? Learn how after you stamp a 12x12 piece of cardstock! You can't see in the picture, but the ribbon loops over the top for a handel. Just fill with treats and tissue paper and you have a perfectly presentable package!
Tag Cards:
These simple 3x3 tag cards will nicely polish off any gift, be it for man, woman or child.

August Club

2008-07-25T20:45:00.000-07:00

Scrapbook Club isn't till the 20th and 21st this month (Third Thursday and Wednesday) but I need a count earlier than usual to put in an order, so... Here are the projects.

3x3 cards

2008-07-09T20:19:00.001-07:00

I have a few baby showers and birthday parties for kids coming up and am running out of cards! So I made a couple more while my kids took a shower...

Why are girls so fun to scrap??!!

2008-07-02T08:19:00.001-07:00

(this one isn't done, I need to finish the "Journaling" by printing it on different paper then adding it creatively to the page)

Cabin, Smores and more

2008-07-01T07:42:00.000-07:00

June Scrapbook Club

2008-06-03T07:08:00.000-07:00

*Free 12x12 "Daddy" page. (Look Familiar???)

(Honor your Dad, or the Daddy of your kid(s). What makes it "Daddy" is the pictures you put on it, it is really quite generic! )

*Free "My CTMH notebook"

Do you tend forget what stuff you order each month, because you don't use it enough, lend it out, aren't organized...? Whatever the reason, now you can keep track! You can keep this compact notebook at home and refer to it each month before club, or you can leave it at my house to double check before you order! Lined pages for you to organize your lists of treasures however you want!

**$2.00 Embellished Jar--
(only one extra project this month)

About the size of a "Soda Can" You can use it to hold treats, craft items, or whatever you want. I am using mine to store those pesky little bags that hold the extra thread and buttons that come with new clothing! FYI: The Clear Buttons will have different background so they stand out more.
(let me know in your evite RSVP if you want the "brown" or "red" Jar.)

*FYI- IF you are not able attend club, "Free" items will be sent home for you to assemble on your own. Any Stamping will now need to be done on your own as well. If you do not have the stamp/ink used for the project, you can improvise with what you have on hand, or make arrangements to use mine. (not on club nights)

**Extra projects are available only for those planning to attend. If you RSVP for an extra project and end up unable to come, your project will be given up for grabs to those in attendance.

May Projects

2008-05-15T08:25:00.000-07:00

Meant to be a "Mom" page, whether it is you (I did me) or your own mom or grandma. Leave off the M and make it a random page. It is pretty neutral. Journal in blue (I added a strip of vellum to mine with my journaling printed on it.) Design is from Imagine:Thumbnails-Right
Intended as Father's Day card, but turned out generic.
Forgot to rotate! Whoops! Baby Girl and Baby Boy cards. Inside quote "An entire world of possibilities, waiting to be discovered."

Everything Ashlyn

2008-04-20T22:04:00.000-07:00

It is Ashlyn's turn to get scrapped. (that actually sounds really mean!) There are a lot so...enjoy! (FYI if you want to see more detailed pictures, just click on them!)

I have a cool little frame that I am adding to this page. It will overlap on the bottom area and fill the space under the tiny square frame.
This page is not the greatest either, but I love that it captures this outfit (barely) that she wears every time it is in her drawer. She loves it! I don't want to retire it!

AJ might one day burn this page (there is a duplicate in his album...)I don't know what I am doing wrong to make these not rotate! They are rotated in the folder I select them from...oh well! Turn your head!
You can't really see her well in these pictures, why do I feel I have to scrap them???

April Club

2008-04-15T08:45:00.000-07:00

This month we are having a creation contest. We will be making a Door Hanger converted to a box that holds 3x3 cards (or small gifts) This is one of my samples. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Baby Shower Gift- Baby's first year

2008-03-17T19:30:00.000-07:00

Inspired by Heidi Files, I decided to make one of these adorable "First Year Albums" for Stacie's (Bj's sister) baby Shower. All she has to do is take pictures and cut them to the size I have written and glue them in! I used CTMH 6x6 base pages and Heaven Sent Stickease as well as a few other cutesy embellishments. Hope she likes it! (remember, to see closer up, just click on it!)

Daddy Daughter

2008-03-15T09:40:00.000-07:00

Simple Layout. Me and my Dad. I sure love this man. (Picture July 2007)

March Club

2008-03-15T08:49:00.000-07:00

Vacation!!! This page will be great for any sunshiny, vacationy, outside fun pictures. Cut your pictures in 2" strips and adhere to blue mat. Page design by Michelle Shirley.
Use your bookmark to mark where you stop reading so you can take a quick dip to cool off.
Use the cards as thank you's for a fun vacation, or any summer birthday. (check out how the girl suit opens!)

Love is in the air... (I forgot to rotate again!!!!!)
Actually, the page doesn't really have a thing to do with "Love" it is more about "Time" I put some B&W pics of AJ on mine (then realized aj's baby book is 8.5 x 11...guess I'll change them to ashlyn or carson's baby pics!) The cards are about love though. Celebrate valentines day, mothers or fathers day or an anniversary.

Carson Marathon

2008-02-02T10:13:00.000-08:00

I have been working on Carson's scrapbook. Here are some pages I have done recently...

January Club

2008-01-15T09:06:00.000-08:00

This page is one of my favorite 1 picture layouts (I am really bad at remembering to rotate my pictures!). It is a lift from a very talented CTMH consultant named Tiffany Cheney. I love how it totally focuses on the picture but adds a simple elegance to the page.
The cards are pretty self explanatory.
The mini coaster frame is a fun little way to display pictures. We will definitely do more of these little guys!

Calendar Pages

2007-12-25T23:59:00.000-08:00

BJ's Sisters and I made a "GrandKid" calendar for BJ's Parents. I offered to do Jamie and Marcie's pages. Enjoy! (ps, BJ and Joe are firefighters, the letters on the calendar days are the shift days.)

My pages

(I added a cute pic of my kids acting out The Nativity.

Marcie's Pages

Jamie's Pages (I didn't have her pictures when I made the pages but have since added them)

October Club

2007-10-19T21:13:00.000-07:00

Everything Christmas...
With this page, use 2 4x6 in the red and white spaces and a 5x3.5 in the left border (or not!) Journal on the lines. Give the rest of the stuff away!

Auction Item

2007-10-02T06:48:00.000-07:00

I bought this layout made by Aunt Shirley at the Joe White Family Reunion- Auction. I knew it would be a perfect host for AJ's upcoming Birthday pictures. I made it a fold out page so he can open it up and see the cards he got.

September Club

2007-09-11T08:16:00.000-07:00

Talk about Variety!
Halloween page. Design from Imagine, I lent the book out and can't remember the title of the LO.
"4 you" 6x6 card...intended for masculine bday, but really can be anything...
pocket card... great for juvenile boy bday.
baby boy, baby girl 3x3 card

August Club

2007-08-15T07:26:00.000-07:00

ZOO theme!
Layouts from Cherish. I left it at Michelle's house or I would tell you the titles... If you want to know the titles, I can find them. (How did I ever scrapbook without Cherish???)
This is my favorite card I have ever made. ever. (inside it says, "It's your birthday")
I love the uniqueness of this card. The orange photo clip twists and the circle flap opens the card where it says, "Happy Birthday" inside. Pull the ribbons of the bird and it is a bookmark.
See...a bookmark...so tricky!

I love how these projects turned out.

Swap Layout

2007-07-28T00:43:00.000-07:00

I am doing a 12x12 themed swap. I am making 7 of the same LO and getting 6 different events back (I chose Girl Birthday) Here is what I came up with:

July Club

2007-07-19T07:34:00.000-07:00

• Most months we will be creating four fabulous projects. Two are yours to make for free, the other two are available for $1.00 each. (Usually 1-12x12 page, 1 card and 2 other projects)
• We will be meeting the SECOND THURSDAY of each month). I understand conflicts will occur, life happens when we least expect it! I will need an attendance head count by the Monday prior to club (RSVP by way of commenting on the appropriate blog post) so I am not left with a lot of scraps. If you are not in attendance you will receive the pieces for 1 free project with your order (to be assembled on your own). The $1.00 projects will not be available to those who don't attend.
• Club meets at my house in Herriman, from 7:00-9 :00 pm.
• Club members must commit to six club nights with a minimum purchase of $25.00 of Close to my Heart products due that night (if you can't make it, please submit your order ahead of time) Your commitment is extremly important to the club. Each person's order counts towards the "Hostess" credit. If you don't follow through, the selected hostess will not be able to redeem her rewards. *You are still required to purchase even when it's your turn as hostess. *Tax and Shipping are not included in the minimum purchase requirement. *Orders made outside of club do not count toward purchase requirement.
• Once during the year, YOU will be "Hostess" and receive a minimum of $25.00 in freebies!!! And all you have to do is show up! (See "Your turn to host" to see how to get more than $25 in free stuff!)
• By being a member of the club, You will receive the next three catalogs for FREE!
• You will have priority access to all my craft tools! (such as my hundreds of stamps, growing supply of inks, and incredible cricut and cartridges!)

Your Turn to Host

When it's your turn to "Host" you have no typical hosting responsibilities.....However.....If you would like to host your own "Connecting" party , (parties need to be closed on THURSDAY night) it could significantly sweeten your pot. It will all be added to our club total so your $25.00 in freebies could turn into $60.00 freebies (+) SOOOO Easily! You can do a traditional home gathering, open house, or a catalog party. Bring an extra $100.00 in orders and you automatically get $40 in free stuff.

Rewards

In addition to the rewards you get from being a club member, some months I will have a CLUB ATTENDEE ONLY special that you must make an appearance to receive. I will also have an on-going Tally Chart that you can earn points towards an AMAZING prize at the end of the club. Some (but not all) things you can do to earn points are:

•Bring "Close to my Heart" items that you made at home to show off.
•Be on time.
•Come!
•Create all offered projects.
•Bring an outside order (or more, like hosting a connecting party)

ALSO-Some months we will have a "Mini drawing". Everyone's name will be entered and the selected name will receive the prize of the month. Your name goes in TWICE--- IF you have brought samples of your working using products purchased during the current club commitment.

By setting Club Night aside, and committing to it, you will benefit greatly from it.
