projects

Here is a sample of some of my Christmas projects. Come over and make some for yourself.

Holiday Workshops

I have been so busy creating all kinds of projects for the holidays. I will host two holiday workshops, Monday November 28 from 6 to 8 pm and Saturday, December 3 from 1 to 4 pm. There will be so much to choose from when you stop by. You can do some quick make and takes, work on Christmas paper craft gift items, make your Christmas cards or purchase some ready made items. There is no cost to attend the workshop. There is a nominal fee for some projects. I will have prizes, contests and some munchies. The grand prize is a great Christmas gift basket with lots of fun items to help you create those handmade treasures. To be entered into the drawing for this basket, you need to earn tickets.

Here is how you can earn tickets:
1. Attend one or both workshops - earn 1 ticket per event
2. Bringing a friend who has never ordered from me - earn 2 tickets
3. Let me know you are coming by November 25 - earn 3 tickets
4. Place an order for at least $25.00 - earn 4 tickets
5. Sign up for a January workshop - earn 5 tickets
6. Turn in a completed Holiday Wish List (see attached) - earn 6 tickets
7. Book a friend's night out at the Creation Station (my house) - earn 7 tickets
8. Sign up to be a consultatant for Close to My Heart - earn 10 tickets
9. Lots of tickets for fun projects at the open house!

I will draw for the Christmas gift basket at 4 pm on December 3. You don't need to be present to win.

Plan now to stop by. You can come at any time during the workshops and stay as long as you like.

Studio J makes my life easier

We just returned from Utah and I already have completed 7 pages from our trip. I did this in no time with Studio J. I don't even print my pictures anymore. I just upload them to Studio J and design the layout. Then I have them printed by CTMH. Take a look. Just let me know if I can show you how easy it is to do.

I would love to play with my Cricut today but my hubby and I are off on a 10 day trip to Utah tomorrow. I need to pack and get ready to head out west. Check back in October when I hope to post lots of pix from our trip. I will be using Studio J to scrap my pix. If you love to scrapbook but don't have the time, why not check out our digital scrapbooking - Studio J. You will find the link on my website.

Have a great day and I will post more when I return.

It's all about the flowers!

I LOVE flowers! Do you? If so, then you need to order our CTMH Cricut Cartridge. Not only does it have over 700 images, 34 sizes and 32,000 possibilities, it has FIVE flower designs. You can make them in all shapes and sizes. Just to show you, here are some simple 3 x 3 cards (made by my upline Tina Sutton) that are basically the same, just added different flowers. With each card, I show you the shape that our cricut cuts. You simply take the shape, distress it (or you could use patterned paper) and roll. Then use liquid glass to hold it together. Take a peek-

Now the million dollar question - the flowers are beautiful but I don't make cards, I scrapbook. They are too bulky to add to my pages! I have a solution, ladies. Make your flower, than take an acrylix block and push down really, really hard. And guess what... this is what you get....


Smashed, flat flowers, still beautiful and perfect for scrapbooking! Don't you love the flowers????

September Stamp of the Month

This great stamp set is available September 1 to the 30th. The cost is $17.95 but if you spend $50 in CTMH products, you can get this versatile stamp set for just $5.

Thanks for dropping by the CreationStation. This is my first attempt at a blog. While I consider myself computer literate, this does take some set up. Drop by often as I try to figure it all out.
