Studio Craft Club

Wow - I really need to get back into blogging again. I have been totally remiss on posting anything this year. I will certainly try to change that.
I started a new club "Studio Craft Club" I have been having a blast! We have been making items from Close To My Heart along with other miscellaneous items. A girls just gotta be crafty - right? I made wooden blocks that the ladies decorated with words "Fall, Fun, Family", "Live, Love, Laugh" etc - they were all just beautiful. One of the months we even made Snowmen! They were so adorable! And even though everyone has the same items to work with - no two projects are alike!
This month we used the Art Philosophy and Artiste cricut cartridges to make all types of flowers, rosettes, leaves, swirls, butterflies and banners to decorate grape vine wreaths. I have to tell you - I have the most creative friends. They all turned out amazing. Just check them out -

Aren't they just gorgeous? I told you they were talented ladies.

There were a few items left over after class - so what do you do with them!? Well, I need a spring wreath for my door and just look at them, sitting on the table telling me, no, challenging me to do my best with what was left. Well I do like a crafty challenge and all in all I think my wreath turned out pretty good with just leftovers. The only thing that I cut out to finish my wreath was the 'Welcome'.

Happy Stamping/Crafting

Why rush into things?? Right??

There are some things that should really not be rushed into! Apparently that was my thought on this layout! But - It's done! A few years after the fact, but done none the less. This was the day my handsome son Brian and his beautiful wife Susan graduated from Central Washington University. (Gosh maybe if I hadn't had the year put on the cake I could have gotten away with it?  :~})

What a wonderful day of celebration for both of them. They both are now very successful young professionals and we are very proud of them.

Now on to my next project; to scrap my daughter Julie's graduation - I just need to figure out what I did with the pictures? Help! Anyone?

This fun layout is the one that we did at our last Scrap Booking On The Go! class! What a fun evening with some great ladies.

Adding Color to Your Crafts

Pretty, but kind of plain ~

Oh my - I have been having a blast with my gold leaf! It is just as fun and just as messy as all that glitter that I love too! :~}

Here is a little pumpkin that I decorated with gold leaf. I like that it looks old and a little tattered - fits me. I used my CTMH Artiste cartridge and added some pumpkin leaves. I crumpled them up and added some gold leaf to them too. It just added so much to the pumpkin!

I put it on the table and decided it needed more!

Much better with the Fall colors

More gold leaf???

Noooo - just more!

So I got in my closet, found my fall leaves and berries, set the pumpkin on top and voila! I like it so much better.

I hope you like it ~
