Baby Card for Mojo Monday and Close To My Heart New Products Installment #3

Be sure to check out yesterday's post and enter to win a brand new Designed Decor Frame Kit ($43.85 value).

Ready for some more new products?  I'd love to share the new paper packs that made their debut on August 1 in the brand new Autumn/Winter Idea Book. There are 6 of them (Baby Cakes, Laughing Lola, ProPlayer, Huntington, Sarita and Frosted)  and they are all delicious.  I've already stocked up with at least one of each!  As you read about each pack, notice that I've provided links to the products I'm referring to on my website  for your convenience.

1. Baby Cakes Paper Pack:  The card you see at the top of this post was made with the Baby Cakes papers.   I love that they can work for baby items, but also are versatile enough for so many other things.  The trendy greys, yellows, oranges and browns in this kit make it perfect for boys pages, girl pages, Autumn pages, family photos and so much more than baby pages and projects. And, with all of the matching accent stickers and bling you can get to go along with it, it's a must have!

I used the Baby Cakes papers to create this card inspired by this week's Mojo Monday sketch. 

Here's a close up of the card. The products used list is at the very bottom of this post.

Here is some more artwork made with Baby Cakes by the fabulous Art Department at Close To My Heart:

2.  Laughing Lola Paper Pack:  This paper pack is bright, fun, bold and fashionable!  I recently used it to complete this layout (based on one done by the CTMH Art Department) of our dancing daughter-in-law, Daysha. We will actually be making this layout, along with 2 more at my September Play Group Scrappin' Classes.  Be watching in a week or two for the announcement of this kit and how to purchase it then. Anyway, CTMH has also provided all kinds of fun accent options that match this paper packet.

This beautiful home decor item was created using Laughing Lola by the Art Department:

3.  ProPlayer Paper Pack:  I love this pack! The blues, greys, reds and blacks combine for such a masculine feel.  The matching accents are just perfect too!  Whether you want to use this packet theme specific for "gaming" photos, or whether you just want to include some photos of your boy(s), sports photos, family photos, or even swimming photos (the possibilities are endless!) you'll love the way they are complemented by these papers!  I can't wait to scrapbook some of my boys' sports photos on this paper. The matching accents are killer too!

How cute is this new Flip Stand Album?  Love it too!

4.  Huntington Paper Pack:  Don't you feel warm just looking at it?  It's full of warm, cozy, Autumn feeling colors and combines that with elegance. In fact, I almost want to redecorate my home to match.  Looking at these papers makes me feel like I'm all snuggled up in a warm family room by the fireplace.  Just gorgeous. The matching accents perfectly complement the elegantly warm papers as well.

Beautiful layout using the Huntington papers made by the CTMH Art Department.

5. Sarita Paper Pack:  Blues, golds, oranges and geometric prints!  Perfection.  These papers, along with their matching accents are so versatile, they really can be used for ANYTHING!

6.  Frosted Paper Pack:  Calm, cool and collected. That's exactly how I'd describe this paper pack.  I love it for Christmas and/or Winter photos, as well as anything you really want to see POP.  Bright colored photos would really take center stage on these muted, soft colored papers.  Beautiful! The matching accents are equally as "cool"!

As promised, here is the CTMH products used list for the Baby Cakes card I created and shared at the top of the post:  New Arrival Stamp Set, Baby Cakes Paper Pack, Whisper Cardstock, White Daisy Value Pack Cards and Envelopes, Chocolate Stamp Pad, Watercolor Pencils, Just Blooms Paper Flowers (retired), Honey Mini Medley (retired), 3D Foam Tape.

Have a great day!

January Close To My Heart Specials

Happy 2012!  It's a brand new year, brand new month, and brand new opportunity to take advantage of some awesome Close To My Heart January specials.  Keep reading.  Trust me...you WANT to!

Here's a little "Table of Contents" to what you'll find in today's post:
1.  A Perfect 10 for Studio J Members
2.  Rock the Block!
3. January Stamp of the Month (Little Reminder)

*******************************

1.  A Perfect 10 for Studio J Members:

January is FREE layout month for Studio J members.  For every 9 custom-printed Studio J layouts you buy, you'll receive the 10th layout free. To receive the discount, just add 10 or more layouts to your card. You'll see a discount reflected in your order total. And you can totally take advantage of this promotion by ordering multiples of 10.  Buy 9, get 1 free. Buy 18, get 2 free.  Buy 27 and get 3 free. And so on!  If you're not a member yet, NOW is a GREAT time to join!  To access your account, or to set up a new one and purchase a membership, just go to my website (www.ctmh.com/leavealegacy), click on "Studio J" and go from there.  Easy, peasy, lemon squeasy!



2. Rock the Block:

As you know (because I already told you!), this special began on December 19 and goes through January 31. It's a GREAT way to get something wonderful for very little $.

Here's how it works:
When you place a $25 minimum order from the Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book, you get TWO valuable new products for just $15: the My Creations Collage Cubes (this is a sneak-eek product from the Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book, will retail for approx. $15 then) and the EXCLUSIVE "Rock the Block" E-size stamp set (available only during this promotion and a $29.95 value). That's over a $45 value for only $15!


Not sure what to purchase for that $25? Well, here are some great suggestions:

• a Level 2 Paper Pack of your choice ($9.95). A great one this time of year would be "Wonderland"
• two coordinating stamp pads ($5.25 each).  If you chose "Wonderland" for your paper pack, then I suggest Twilight and Chocolate as your inks.
• an Acrylic Block to go with the "Rock the Block" stamp set (I suggest the 4" x 5" block if you don't already have any blocks)
• OR, if you already have Acrylic Blocks, substitute that item with the matching Complements or My Stickease to match the kit you've chosen (if you chose "Wonderland", then I suggest the "Wonderland" My Stickease to match!)

If you are ordering on my website, you'll be prompted to add this wonderful "Rock the Block" kit before you check out.

Oh, and if you want to watch a short little video on how to use this awesome "Rock the Block" kit, just go to this post.


3.  January Stamp of the Month:

I love this set and have had so much fun playing with it (actual size of the carrier sheet you see above is 6" x 6"). The card you see at the beginning of this post was made with this awesome set ("Little Reminder").  You may recognize it from a 'sneak peek' I shared in December here. This set is yours for only $5 ($17.95) with a $50 purchase. If you are already taking advantage of the Rockin' "Rock the Block" special, you will have spent $25 and then an additional $15 on the kit. That means you only have $10 more to spend to get this set for $5.  AWESOME!  If you are ordering on my website, you'll be prompted to add this before you check out.

Winter Layouts: January Play Group (Wonderland)

It's not too late to sign up for my January Play Group classes (in person or long-distance, or host a class of your own...I need to hear from you no later than Friday, December 30 if you want to participate).  We will be making three 2-page 12" x 12" layouts that will give you a head start on scrapping this year's (or last year's...lol) Wintery photos.  Here are the layouts (click on any photo to see it larger and in more detail). I've shared the details of the class, the kits, and how to participate after the photos. If you are not familiar with my Play Group classes, scroll down the left side of my blog until you find the section called "Play Group Information" and read away!  Enjoy!

Layout #1: "Let it Snow"

 

Layout #2: "Families are Forever"

Layout #3: "Season of Wonder"

In January we will be using the soft and chilly kit called "Wonderland" for our three 2-page 12" x 12" layouts.

If you want to participate, I need to hear from you no later than Friday, December 30. You can call or email me at 801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com.

Class Dates and Times to choose from:
Tuesday, January 3, 10 am - 1 pm (this class is in American Fork, UT)
Thursday, January 5, 10 am -1 pm (this class is in American Fork, UT)
Thursday, January 5, 7-10 pm (this class is in Pleasant Grove, UT)

You can also host this workshop in your home (in Utah) with your friends during the month of January and earn FREE hostess rewards (free CTMH shopping spree!) while you do it. If you are interested in doing that, please contact me (801.360,9896, pedermom@aol.com) and I'll give you all the details.

You can also participate in this workshop long-distance. If you choose to do so, just add $5 to the cost of whichever kit you choose for the extra shipping.  I suggest if you are participating long-distance that you at least order the "Better Kit".  If you participate long distance, I am happy to stamp for you since you probably won't have the stamp pads and alphabet stamp (unless you order the "Best Kit"). That is my little gift to you if you participate long-distance.

Remember, in order to attend, you only need to purchase the Basic Kit. Anything above and beyond that is totally up to you. This month, I suggest you consider the Better Kit. The few items I've added there make a huge difference to your pages. If you already have any of the items in the Better or Best kits, just bring them with you to class.
