Cards from Joyce's CTMH Card Class today

Getting Ready for upcoming scrapbook shows in  Westminster, MD and York, PA
These are pictures of cards made from the new Close to My Heart Avonlea Workshop on the Go.  It has everything you need (except adhesive and ink and tools) to make 15 cards, 5 of each design.  The first photo shows  the stamp set that is included and is only available in the workshop kit.  These cards will displayed  at upcoming shows in the CTMH booth. 

If you're interested in purchasing this kit or any other Close to My Heart Products I mention here in my blog,  contact  Joyce Houck, my CTMH consultant and teacher extraordinaire, through her web page http://joyce.ctmh.com/   or her blog  http://www.joyce-joyfulcreations.blogspot.com/.

Somehow in between making paper racetracks with my grandsons, I managed to get my Mojo Monday card finished.

My photography isn't the best, I know.  In case you can't see the details, I used a cute mushroom border cuttlebug folder around the card to emboss it, mushroom brads from www.eyeletoutlet.com.  , the cute little hedgehog is a Penny Black stamp, and his flower has just a bit of CTMH stardust Glitz glitter gel.
Now I think we're going for a walk. 

Today I finished a dozen notecards I've been working on the last 2 days.  I had a set of scrapbook pages I had gotten in a goodie box from CTMH a few years ago.  (Gee, I wish they would bring those goodie boxes back, loved them!)  I don't do scrapbooks.  So what was I going to do with these layout pages that were already set up for photos?  I chopped those pages right up and voila... coordinating notecards.  I thought I'd take them, in sets of 4, to our family reunion tomorrow for bingo prizes.

Which set would you pick  .....
the flowers set?

the wreath set?

or the hugs and kisses set?

Oh, and I have 3 leftover that aren't completely finished yet.  These are my scrap cards.

My attempt at tidying up my work area today resulted in 3 cards from scraps that had to go somewhere.
Nothing special, but thought I'd share.

Posting 2 challenge cards today- Mojo Monday 253 and SNSSC10.

I finally got around to making my Mojo Monday card.  I hope you like it.  I just love the Pemberly paper by CTMH.

The second challenge card I have to share is for the August Sparkle N Sprinkle Card Challenge SNSSC10.  I used my new Playful Pengies stamp set from SNS.  The images are so cute.  I even added some night sky fuzzy flock to  the little guy before I popped him up on the card.

Now I have a very sparkly dining room (aka Nana's craft room) which needs attention.  But ya gotta love that glitter.  Ya know?

Today I'm posting the 3 cards we made at Joyce's CTMH afternoon class yesterday.  She has some great things coming up, and the new CTMH cricut cartridge in now available, so be sure to check out her blog.  Joyce's Joyful Creations  

The card below will be going to my niece for her birthday next week.  She loves purple.

 The next card consists of 20 one inch square pieces of patterned paper, edged in chocolate and then glued onto a card front.

Look closely at the intriguing background design of the third card.

Six different patterned papers cut into 1/2 inch squares, randomly glued to card stock, and then dry embossed in the Cuttlebug. Really neat!  Takes a while.... but really neat!


On a personal note.... I am not a trash picker under normal circumstances.  But I make an exception when I'm at Joyce's. She gave me a strip of yellow paper and asked me to punch out a bunch of 1/4" dots for on the purple card above.  What was left was a strip of yellow paper with a bunch of holes punched out of it.  I immediately thought, "that would look good on a card". So I came home and added it to the bottom of this Bee Happy card.  I also happened to be sitting next to her trash can yesterday.  I robbed the border for the next card from that very trash can. I wish I was a little better with my camera because the little car is actually 3 layers and I made a teeny, tiny plastic windshield for it, cut from a packet of brads that was close at hand.

Now I'm off to watch my grandsons for a little while. 
Hope you're enjoying my blog so far.
