February gathering project
For our CTMH project for February I thought we should make something that could be given as a Valentine's gift. I decided to make canvases. Mine is always the sample (and the one where I learn and make mistakes so you don't have to). I made this at night & now that I see it in the daylight the paint on the canvas doesn't match the paper as well as I thought, but I think it will be ok. I am planning on cutting it in a variety of papers so that each person can make theirs to fit the intended recipient. I also think it needs something 3 dimensional to the left of the photo but I haven't decided what yet.
Here is a close up of the embossing and stamping.
Let me know what you think. I hope everyone will enjoy this project.

January CTMH gathering project
Since I am out of work for the time being I'm actually ahead of schedule preparing the project for my January Close to my Heart gathering. For January I am going to show how to make "easel cards". They mail & look like a card but the top folds up for display. Here is a sample easel card I made.
Here is a side view.
I wanted to kick it up a notch so I made it into a desk display. I added a Flip Flap on top so that a photo can be added, and changed as desired. On the bottom I added post-it notes and a calendar. I hope my group will enjoy this project.
Here is a sample with a picture. As it's Cory's 3rd Birthday today I put in an adorable picture of him (of course he only takes adorable pictures).
While I was at it I covered my store bought address book that needed decorating.
And with all of the scraps I put the puzzle pieces together to start a 2 page layout.
Let me know what you think.

January 2010 scrapbooking projects
I'm amazed that it's been so long since I posted on here. I am determined that before I go back to work (which is hopefully soon!) I will get my current list of scrapbook projects done. So here is the first of many. This is a project I saw that I've been wanting to try & today was the day. Let me know what you think.
