Pure Magic!!!

So I got my box of new CTMH goodies yesterday and was so excited to look through the newest how to book in the CTMH collection and all I have to say is WOW!! I love it! Everyone needs to check this book out. I am so inspired by all of the fresh, fun ideas and the DVD has great videos to help visualize the interactive elements in the books layouts as well as tons of printable templates to help complete them. I can't wait to get into my studio today and play!

If you are interested in purchasing this book click on the image above to go direct or click on the shopping cart in my sidebar.

I am off to go play!! Have a great saturday!

So go grab a coffee and enjoy!!

Baby Boy Card

Okay...two posts in less than 24 hours! I am on a roll! :)

Anyways, here is a card that I made for some friends who just had a baby. I was really happy with how this one turned out. I made a little pocket to slide a gift card into and even finished the backside of the card. I love these colours and it was a real treat doing something boyish for a change!!

Thanks for looking!

Anyone still there??

Okay...I am still tweaking the blog but I am pretty happy with how it looks. I have a few more pages to finish up and it will be finished. In the meantime I have picked up a temporary full time job until the end of September so my blogging time might be stretched a little thin but I'll try to keep some posts coming your way. I have a couple of baby cards I've made the last week or so and a couple of projects on the go. So I will have some things to share with you really soon!

Thanks for sticking with me...if you are still here that is! :)

Testing the new blog divider...

Under Construction!

I will hopefully have my blog up and running in the next couple of days...hopefully even sooner! After a long hiatus due to a crazy life, I am looking forward to getting back to the blogging world. So stay tuned...I hope my blog will be better than ever! Drop me a line and let me know what you think!

I am here...really I am!

Sorry to be MIA. We've all been very sick around here since Christmas...yes since CHRISTMAS! It has really been brutal. I will have some new stuff to post within the next couple of days...I promise. Until then...

This is one of the projects featured in this months webisode of Art & Soul.
