Girl Scout Cookies came and sale day started on Sunday so I had to take Faith out and have her sell some cookies. She is off to a good start thanks to Nathan taking the order form to work and her door-to-door sales of 25 boxes. She has a goal of 160 boxes which she will reach in no time. I did find some time to get a card made and created a new scrapbook project that will be available in February. The card is a mix of miscelleanous paper I had on hand, a retiring stamp set called Treasure Life and a new stamp set called Card Chatter-Birthday. <br />

I am loving using the easy to follow instructions and visuals in the how to book. It was fun working on the placement of all my hearts cut from Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and my collection of Olive hardware. I used the new paper pack called Florentine. I just fell in love with the colors in this paper pack as soon as I saw it and this layout is by far one of my most recent favorites. Hopefully, you can come by on January 29th 1-4pm to make some cards and pick up the brand new catalog. If not, drop me a line and I can hook you up with a hard copy catalog and a kit to make this scrapbook layout for $15.Janine Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226611415440452283noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100484672479772241.post-28427017976281921812012-01-16T05:43:00.000-08:002012-01-16T05:43:21.234-08:00New Year's MomentsI had some fun with some memories from our last day of 2011 with my kids. This one is with the Wonderland paper pack and I used the Art Philosophy Cartridge to create all the fun arrows. <br />

This next one I created with another paper pack that is retiring called Mayberry. I love the colors in this and they really suited the not-so-good photos. The lighting wasn't good and taken with my Iphone but on this colorful page they worked very well. The butterflies are creased in the middle and only one side is adhered to the page which gives them more of a 3-D look. <br />

I have loved sending something made by me that means so much more. Unfortunately, like many of us, I have the challenge of getting my cards made and actually sent to the recipient in a timely manner. Ooops, there goes another belated birthday card was said way too often this last year. So, I am prepping things ahead of time. Thanks to my sister-in-laws gift of a calender for 2012 with all the birthdays in the family on it. All I have to do is add my husband's side of the family and than I will get the envelopes all addressed and put them in order of when they need to be sent and put them in a basket with my book of stamps and pen ready. The other side of it is actually making the cards. So I created two cards that could be used for birthdays or any other kind of celebration that will be availalbe to make at the next Project Playground on January 29th. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NpcYBQzmpO0/TvsVv5xwqCI/AAAAAAAADBI/nqIyslBlGc0/s1600/Rectangle+8+Star+Card_Dec+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NpcYBQzmpO0/TvsVv5xwqCI/AAAAAAAADBI/nqIyslBlGc0/s320/Rectangle+8+Star+Card_Dec+2011.jpg" width="260" /></a></div>I was playing around with a window card I created using the Art Philosopy cartridge which hasn't come out of my machine for any other Cricut cartridge since I got it in October. I love all the options that can be used for both scrapbooking and cardmaking. I created this window card with Rectangle #8 and some cut out stars. There's a star adhered with foam tape on the inside that shows through the window but I made it a suprise and put the sentiment strip over it so when you open it you get this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Iustaed4MZo/TvsWeV0z9LI/AAAAAAAADBU/Yn9uXw1VTWk/s1600/Rectangle+8+Star+Card_inside_Dec+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Iustaed4MZo/TvsWeV0z9LI/AAAAAAAADBU/Yn9uXw1VTWk/s320/Rectangle+8+Star+Card_inside_Dec+2011.jpg" width="230" /></a></div>I added the sentiment "happy birthday" with the Classmate Alphabet stamp set but you could add any type of sentiment like "celebrate" or "congratualtions". Than I created this easy card using the November stamp of the month Cherish the Day. Although, it's no longer stamp of the month you can still get this stamp set and utilize it throughout your year. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CWHpCjMPcss/TvsXup8mD9I/AAAAAAAADBg/0tbKf3IzSOE/s1600/Cherish+the+Day+Card_Dec+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CWHpCjMPcss/TvsXup8mD9I/AAAAAAAADBg/0tbKf3IzSOE/s320/Cherish+the+Day+Card_Dec+2011.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, that I have a couple of masculine cards for those male birthdays coming up in the first few months of 2012; it's time to get back to the girls... I got the new catalog and am SO in love with the new paper sets! Can't wait for payday so I can get some ordered and start creating with the new stuff!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It's a technique I have used before but it was a very good reminder and got my creative juices going. I cut out a heart, snowflake, star, flower, ornament, tree and fluer di lis accent and used my newest stamp sets Cherish the Day, Everlasting Life, Hooray Bouquet and a tried and true favorite of mine, A Little Thanks. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MZMWfZRV0W4/TuX6CzGG-II/AAAAAAAAC_8/JHJdHmp9RwE/s1600/HEART+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MZMWfZRV0W4/TuX6CzGG-II/AAAAAAAAC_8/JHJdHmp9RwE/s320/HEART+2011.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>I just used the coordinating color cardstock and inks in these two thank you cards. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HYqAwh2YYB4/TuX6dvoqyWI/AAAAAAAADAE/3LaXCbpcTYA/s1600/SNOWFLAKE+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HYqAwh2YYB4/TuX6dvoqyWI/AAAAAAAADAE/3LaXCbpcTYA/s320/SNOWFLAKE+2011.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>Than, I deviated and made some Christmas Cards using an ornament and Christmas Tree and paper from Believe paper pack. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GCxN56P91BU/TuX6xA-2_kI/AAAAAAAADAM/rGLILk57PIg/s1600/Christmas+Tree+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GCxN56P91BU/TuX6xA-2_kI/AAAAAAAADAM/rGLILk57PIg/s320/Christmas+Tree+2011.jpg" width="242" /></a></div>I sponged in ink color over the stamped words with sponge daubers. I added a second color to these Christmas cards to make them extra special and added Glitz Glitter Gel in very small amounts that I spread around with the tip of the bottle. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4dR7vvbWvC8/TuX7WoP6niI/AAAAAAAADAU/g3OjkXbviRo/s1600/Ornament+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4dR7vvbWvC8/TuX7WoP6niI/AAAAAAAADAU/g3OjkXbviRo/s320/Ornament+2011.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>Than, I started thinking about the next Project Playground in January and decided to make a birthday card. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sY9nTpWRCck/TuX7oSV0uBI/AAAAAAAADAc/mjTo6Pdj-Pc/s1600/Birthday+Star+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sY9nTpWRCck/TuX7oSV0uBI/AAAAAAAADAc/mjTo6Pdj-Pc/s320/Birthday+Star+2011.jpg" width="253" /></a></div>I was using a block that was a little too big for the stamp I was using so the ink got on the edge of the block and made a line. Well, I decided to make some more of those lines in various directions which gave a neat distressed background effect. I used the Wonderland Paper pack paper with this card. <br />
<br />
Next, I went into my browns: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oRnC0BccA6A/TuX8dA2zblI/AAAAAAAADAk/Q36AajJ36JQ/s1600/Friendship+Flower+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oRnC0BccA6A/TuX8dA2zblI/AAAAAAAADAk/Q36AajJ36JQ/s320/Friendship+Flower+2011.jpg" width="257" /></a></div> I was wishing for more vibrant color inks and papers at this point so those are now on my wish list. So, I went back to making Thank you cards with the Fluer di Lis accent. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3JWZs7lq-gA/TuX84MP3aII/AAAAAAAADAs/cMb8S3PwUZo/s1600/FLUER+DI+LIS+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3JWZs7lq-gA/TuX84MP3aII/AAAAAAAADAs/cMb8S3PwUZo/s320/FLUER+DI+LIS+2011.jpg" width="245" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made over 60 cards! To make a set of six you will need: 1 12 x12 sheet of paper for your colored background which is cut at 4 x 5.25" and white card stock cut at 3.75 x 5" and of course a template cut out of scrap card stock and the coordinating ink colors. The possibilities are endless and easy with this technique. I can't wait to get more ink colors and papers to play around with this. </div>Janine Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226611415440452283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100484672479772241.post-72390418768081629982011-12-05T05:35:00.000-08:002011-12-05T05:35:30.752-08:00December Close to My Heart Constant Campaign Special<img src="http://cms.closetomyheart.com/~/media/ImageGallery/Time%20Sensitive/Medium/nov2011/Dec2011CC_Image_Gallery.ashx?w=400" /><br />

Truly the homemade cards make the most impression and many of them are kept because they are so special to the recipient. I have a few cards I have kept from my customers that have really meant a lot! Here's a photo of Series 1 of the cards from the Believe paper pack. It's 10 of the 30 cards I made from the paper pack. You can get all 30 cards for $45 or you can get just one of the Series with 10 cards for $18. The kits include all pre-cut paper, stamped images, embellishments, envelopes and easy instructions with visual. It will take you about an hour to assemble! All you need is some adhesive you can pick up at Wal-mart! You can add a bottle of Glitz Glitter Gel to add the extra sparkle for just $4 extra. Or you can come this weekend to my final workshop on Sunday 1-4pm and make in the company of other wonderful women and pay only $15. <br />

This page was designed in memory of my Uncle Garrett who recently passed away. I really love the versatility of alphabet sets. I think that more fun can be had with them and I will let you in on what I create with them in the future. <br />

I simply love the ability to create a 2 page layout in less than 30 minutes and buy the jpeg image for $3 so I can share it within minutes after I download it from my inbox. I created this layout on Monday morning before heading to my day job and finished it up with the journaling that evening. I am going to print this out as 6 x 6 size and put them together and have them framed for my sister-in-law and her family who were one of the stars in this layout.<br />

I will post the framed version once I get that done. Michaels and Hobby Lobby have all kinds of sales going on this weekend so I am sure I will get a deal on framing. I wish you all a very blessed Thanksgiving! If you have the desire to deepen your relationship with God, I would love to suggest to you to use scrapbooking as a means to growing in your relationship with the Lord. I have a new blog for my new faithbooking ministry called Faith to Life Connections.

Funny how in the midst of the crisis I was ranting at myself for not asking first before buying but now after working it all out, it will end up being a much better thing. I had to, of course, put together more samples since I will be using all of the papers in the Believe paper pack but I am so pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the newest samples are coming out. <br />

If you don't know Shelly and weren't invited, No worries, I have the same workshop schedule twice at my studio on Monday evening November 21st at 7pm or on Saturday afternoon December 10th 1pm. Cost is $15 for the workshops at my studio. I am putting together kits so if you can't make any of the workshops stay tuned for more details on the kits. Here's a look at the layouts created using the Dreamin Paper Pack: <br />

I put a watercoloring filter on the photo to help it somewhat. Journaling can be added directly to the Colonial White side beside the photo. <br />

I used Chocolate ink for all the stamping and the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge for all my cut out embellishments. I also utilized some banner dimensionals, brads and Colonial White ribbon.

We take SO many of them these days with our digital cameras but they go into folders on our computer and many never be seen again. I took on the task of slowly but surely organizing my folders and re-naming them so I could find the photos when I was ready for them. I was showing a friend Studio J the other day and it became this daunting task trying to just locate a few photos so I could walk her through putting together a layout in Studio J. It really is a matter of organization so here are just a couple tips to get you started. Put all photos for one event in one folder and label them with the event name, month and year. This will make finding your photos much easier. Now when you go into Studio J, you can upload all the photos in that folder for that event and you can click on them later to preview them larger so you can figure out which ones you want to use. We don't have to scrapbook them all. Just the good photos and no duplicates or similar photos, just enough to tell the story. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cLePWYx0o98/Tq9n85-5eoI/AAAAAAAAC0s/7ppRaLmopwc/s1600/Nov2011CC_Image_Gallery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" ida="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cLePWYx0o98/Tq9n85-5eoI/AAAAAAAAC0s/7ppRaLmopwc/s320/Nov2011CC_Image_Gallery.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is a darling Christmas stamp set that you can get for just $5 measily bucks when you purchase $25. <br />

Because My Acrylic Stamps stick on the block so well and because the blocks are clear, it's just too fun to put together your own sentiment for a card or title for a scrapbook page. I really love the fact that My Acrylic stamps can be super small and still stick to the block until you pull them off. So, play around with your alphabets and try this little trick when you are putting your own sentiments, titles and words together: Place the stamps one at a time from behind so that you are looking through the block seeing the word come together as it will look when you stamp it. I seemed to get it lined up easier doing it from behind rather than typically the block on the table way. Try it out and have some fun with your alphabets this week. <br />

I fliped the top to the other side, used a couple of Milepost Shapes and A Little Thanks Stamp Set to finish it off. I love using the same design so you can see how easy it is to have a completely different scrapbook page each time. I have always designed my own pages from scratch and have occassionaly used designs I see in a magazine but with my time so limited these days due to working full-time I think I am going to get a copy of one of Close to My Heart's Foundational How-to Programs. I will start with Cherish since that's the word I used for my title in this layout. This will be good for those evenings when my brain is mush from a day of data entry work and I need some creating therapy. <br />

I created this page from the Elemental Level 2 Paper Pack, Classmate Alphabet, Art Philosophy Cartrige, Love Life Stamp Set, Olive ink and brads and a banner dimensional. I love the simplicity of it. I wasn't too sure about the Elemental paper but when it comes together it looks fantastic.

I have been creating as I go through the book working my thoughts and feeling about what I am reading into my creations. I have done a couple layouts on Studio J and did my Dreamin Layout about my dreams and I created a pin to wear to remind me of a few things and be an object of curiosity that people will ask about. I chose the letter "A" for my pin because of the chapter about having an attitude of abundance. Meredith Bromfield is the author and she hit the nail on the head. Attitude is Everything! I have been wearing this pin for over a week now and have found that I have been in a much better frame of mind. I am more positive, up-beat and just feeling AWESOME! I decided to create a new pin every month with a different letter to remind me about "whatever" and to get people asking and talking about it. It's kind of fun to watch people look at the pin but some of them will never ask you so I am super excited when someone does and I can share about my Awesome God and how he's given me an Abundance of blessings and provides me with an Abundance of Opportunites and I just have to keep the Attitude that Anything is possible with God. I hope you are having and Awesome weekend and enjoying the beauty of the fall season and that your attitude is looking up. <a href="http://www.crossingyourbridge.com/">Find out about Meredith's Book </a>Janine Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226611415440452283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100484672479772241.post-45757227939540754292011-10-18T06:49:00.000-07:002011-10-22T15:39:14.546-07:00Christmas is coming...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wrosUhOXszg/TqNAz3aeQWI/AAAAAAAACzs/bTuQPqp72Jc/s1600/Oct172011_0226.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" rda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wrosUhOXszg/TqNAz3aeQWI/AAAAAAAACzs/bTuQPqp72Jc/s320/Oct172011_0226.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>and so all my friends have started to wonder what am I going to give this Christmas. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg but want to do something special, unique, possibly made by me. Hmmmmmmm. I know I will call Janine and ask her about doing a workshop so my friends and I can make a couple of scrapbook pages for the family photo. Talked to Janine and she is going to create designs for 6 scrapbook pages for one paper pack from her new business Close to My Heart. We get to do two of them at the workshop and get the instructions for creating the other 4. <br />
This is going to be such a special gift and will look so nice in a frame on my mother-in-law's wall. And the best part I will have 2 completed scrapbook page gifts and 4 more to complete before Christmas for just $12. I can't wait to see what Janine has designed! She will even make kits for my friends that cannot come to my workshop for $20. This is too awesome!Janine Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226611415440452283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100484672479772241.post-45276908134429394582011-10-14T06:06:00.000-07:002011-10-14T06:06:16.337-07:00Birthday Card on the Fly...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been getting the reminder message on my computer about my Dad's birthday coming up on the 23rd for over a week and kept snoozing it but woke up this morning and thought yeah, I better get to it. So, I called on the <a href="http://www.ctmh.com/janinerobertson">Cricut Art Philosophy</a> to help me make a simple and fast birthday card for a male. I used the Celebration stamp set that is one of the 3 sets that comes with your Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. I pulled out some coordinating paper from the Typeset Paper Pack, grabbed my Bamboo and Chocolate inks and got to cutting. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I made the mistake of cutting my green mat at 2.25" and knew it was too big when I pulled it out. Oh, duh, it should have been 1.75" to go with the 1.5" stamped image I was going to use. Okay, so sleeping last night on the chair wasn't the greatest thanks to my hubbie snoring up a storm. In any case, I thought to myself 'how can I make this work'. I used it and just trimmed off the edges. I used the words 'Fun, Love, Joy' from the Celebration stamp set and placed them all together randomly on a block to create my worded background. Stamped 'Best wishes to you' on the inside and all done in about 15 minutes. Yeah. Now it's time to get ready for work but I will be back playing with some new <a href="http://www.ctmh.com/janinerobertson">Close to My Heart</a> stuff that came yesterday!Janine Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226611415440452283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100484672479772241.post-31928951005149523512011-10-11T05:42:00.000-07:002011-10-11T05:42:21.270-07:00Snow InspirationThis past Saturday we woke up to a blizzard, at least it seemed that way at our house. You can drive 1 mile south and it's not snow, it's rain. It makes living here interesting to say the least. But the snow kept me from getting out to do errands and in the studio to craft. I had just recevied the Wonderland Paper Pack from Close to My Heart and was just inspired to create using this wintery paper. I decided to try making another magnet card so that the recipient can take off the front piece and use as a fridge magnet. It's a card and a gift all in one. I dropped it in the mail box on Monday to get it in for the World Card Making contest but discovered that the post office was closed on Monday. Great! They specifically said it has to be postmarked by Oct 10th but the darn post office wasn't open. I will see about emailing them and ask that they consider counting my card towards the contest even though the post mark is going to say the 11th. I don't think they realized it was Columbus day either. <br />
<br />

I did lots of embossing on this card including edging the papers in ink and applying sparkle embossing powder so I would have a sparkly edge. I found some pre-made silver bows that I had in my stash forever that worked perfectly. I will have only two of these available to make at the Project Playground on Oct 23rd so 2 lucky ladies will be able to come and make but if you really like this all you need is the Wonderland Paper Pack, I Believe Stamp Set, Blue ink, Sparkle embossing powder and some white card stock. I would gladly give you the card recipe so you can make this wonderful winter card. <a href="http://www.ctmh.com/janinerobertson">www.ctmh.com/janinerobertson</a>Janine Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226611415440452283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100484672479772241.post-29327634641284380352011-10-02T19:51:00.000-07:002011-10-02T19:51:31.185-07:00Creating keeps my mind off of...my shoulder pain. I went to the doctor on Thursday for it and turns out I have a bone spur and the machine at the YMCA triggered a swelling in that area. So, doc hooks me up with a steriod shot which I had before when I hurt my other shoulder from our indoor sky diving adventure a couple of years ago. All seemed pretty good until I woke up Saturday morning with more pain in my arm and all over that area. It was a different kind of pain, a burning pain which was a big indication to me that I was having an allergic reaction. It could only be from the shot. So, my creating on Saturday was only a blessing in that it kept me focused not on the pain I was feeling but my oh my I was hurting bad. Thankfully, I got a good nights sleep and it seemed a bit better in the morning and with IB profin it has been much more tolerable today so I managed to get more accomplished today but I am not quite finished with todays project so I won't be posting it just yet but I wanted to share with you the scrapbook layout I made with the Typeset Paper Pack of my two kids school portraits from last year. I thought I better get them done now before we get to far along into this school year and the memories of last year start fading away. I love to outcome. I always tell people if you aren't into scrapbooking at the very least make one page a year with your kids school portraits. I will be putting all of theirs in a book all it's own so we can see how they have grown and changed from year to year. So another weekend bites the dust and off to my work week I go...Janine Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226611415440452283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100484672479772241.post-85435553072103467712011-09-30T02:31:00.000-07:002011-09-30T02:31:06.647-07:00World Card Making Day is October 1stI have been playing around some more and creating more card projects with my newest stamps and paper packs from Close to My Heart. I am looking forward to crafting all day on Saturday and hope that some people will join me and keep me company. I love the fall season the most of all seasons because of the colors. There is something about oranges, golds, reds that just speak to me so much. I have been having fun with the Dreamin paper pack which you can also find available as a paper kit on Studio J. Kits really do make putting together a scrapbook page so easy. No color coordinating to worry about! I created a two page layout with the Dreamin paper pack and used the Trinity alaphabet stamp set and the owl is from the Pair-a-Phrase September special double stamp set that I got free with my $75 order.
