Hey Handsome Sparkle and Shine 12-Page Workshop Hey Handsome 12-Page Sparkle and Shine is fresh off the table! I loved adding tags, grids, circle drawing and images from our Hey Handsome Digital collection to these amazing papers to create so many photo opportunities for men, boys, outdoor, and family! I love all the pattern circles that come right in the kit and those cute glasses! I really worked at the photo opportunities to be able to provide LOTS of them!

Every time I use one of Liz Qualman's sketches , I have to tell you again how much I love her work! She inspires me to bring my pages to another level and to create in a way I may not. This week her suggestion was to try color blocking with her sketch. Please visit her HERE to see her example. You will love it! These are pictures taken at our bonfire last October. The top photo is my sister Patti's family, and the bottom photo is my husband's twin brother's family. I took Liz's sketch pretty literally so pretty much everything that was suggested. The paper and stickease are Olivia, and they are retired. But isn't it so pretty for these photos? Let me tell you how I made the banner. I used the Banners Dimensional Elements and covered them with paper. So easy to do because I used the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the perfect sized banners. Then I punched holes and weaved Sunset baker's twine through the holes. I LOVE that we now sell 8 colors of baker's twine! I cut the tickets with my cartridge, too, and then stamped them with last November's stamp of the month, Cherish the Day. I also added a few buttons from our Sunset Mini Medleys. I think you should try this sketch. It was so much fun and it showcased my pictures perfectly!

It feels like it has been forever since I have posted on here, the summer has flown by! The new catalog from Close To My Heart is out and the products are amazing! So many huge changes and improvements! One of the NEW PRODUCTS that caught my eye is the NEW FLOWER MARKET Circut cartridge! All I can say is WOWZA! It is amazing! I have always been attracted to all things flowers, so this really made my heart sing! Ask my boys, I have scrapbooked my oldest sons hockey pictures with layers and layers of flower (manly ones of course) and it turned out awesome. Maybe I will remember to post that at some point! Anyway back to the matter at hand! I was inspired to do this calendar by a similar concept that I had seen at the Close To My Heart National Convention in June. It really brought me back to the dilemma that I have had for many many years of creating a beautiful layout for the months of the calendar and then letting it go "to waste" when the calendar was finished. I thought what a great idea just to incorporate the calendar page right into the first page of a two page layout! Duh... sounds so simple and I'm sure the idea has been recreated many many times, scrapbook calendars have been around forever. I do a calendar workshop almost every year and this concept was perfect! I had so much fun doing these layouts! Im totally in LOVE with glitter and flowers, so what a perfect combo! I loved the stark contract between the back, gold and red in the February layout. The boots in April... adorable! Sunflowers speak for themselves, such bold beauties. Wheat for September of course, for many years my father farmed and that was always harvest time! Poppies to celebrate and remember our fallen soldiers (Canadian thing) they deserve to be honoured and remembered, and who can resist a classy white poinsettia for December! This was my very first guide and HOLY COW, what a lot of work! I'm so glad to have the support from many other consultants and people from around the WORLD. Shout out to my AU, NZ, USA CTMH sisters! You have made all my time and effort worth it! You have filled my heart with many encouraging words, support and the Close To My Heart Corperate team has been amazing in this journey! As you can see above, this is 24 pages of spectacular! Perfect for a gift, to show off on your own wall or for all my consultant peeps, to hold a workshop! January packs a punch with the NEW colour of the year SEA GLASS! I am still amazed by the LACK of glitter that is all over my circut mat when I'm finished cutting out shapes. I have used competitors brands of glitter paper in the past, and this is for sure one of those occasions where once you try it you will never go back! No glittery mess! Traditional valentines colours really work well on this page! The GOLD glitter flowers with the black cardstock overlay really highlight eloquence! I was a little hesitant about using the "lettered" patterned paper in this collection. I really thought that it screamed "school", but how wrong I was! It gave enough pattern to complement but didn't overwhelm this layout! It let the focus fall on the magnificent flowers and glitter! Ahh April showers... I have always loved this saying. The boots are so stinkin cute, I would totally buy a spotted pair just like these in the real world! Amaryllis ... the title kind of speaks for itself. Simple bends to shape the flowers combined with simple pattern paper, gave these flowers some great dimension! This layout is a similar rendition of a layout in the annual inspiration book! Page 22-23 shows you how versatile the NEW Enchantment fundamentals are! LOVE THEM! Found more inspiration from the Annual Inspirations idea book! That just show that these are way more then a catalog, it is filled with amazing artwork from amazing artists. I ALWAYS keep my for future inspiration, it is a great resource. The colour combo on this reminded me very much of a retired paperback we once had named Tommy! I love to mix and match colour combos from previous paper packs. Again that is where keeping those past idea books comes in handy! Simple, yet makes a bold statement. Cutting oversize images, hanging them over the edge and trimming is a great way to embellish your page or card! The cocoa image on the 2nd page is actually a "container" designed to "hold" flowers on the flower market cartridge (kind like the boot idea in the April layout) so don't let your mind limit you to what the images were intended for. This made the perfect background image. Poppy was the perfect colour for the Poppy layout. This really speaks to Canadian Remembrance Day, but is so pretty it can be used for any special moment! Again with the SEA GLASS, I can't get enough! It pairs perfectly with peacock paper. The poinsettias (as well as all of the other flowers) has been shimmered up with the NEW shimmer pen. I comes out clear so you can accent over ANY colour to give it that WOW factor! So that pretty much sums up the workshop, here are the details on how to get busy making your own! The whole guide including pictures, cutting instructions, dimensions and supply list will be EMAILED to you upon purchase of the supplies from my website createbyjennifer.closetomyheart.ca They are easy to follow instructions that will guide you through making your very own calendar month by month!

As ya'll know I belong to Picture Perfect Creations Design Team. PPC uses SU! colors as most of the other DT members are SU! Consultants. As a former CTMH consultant, I do not have SU! colors but CTMH ones. Finally today I'd had enough of guessing on each weekly assignment which color to uses. I have now gone thru the new 2010 SU! Color Chart & compared it to the CTMH Color Chart. Below is what I've come up with. Some colors are not dead on, I wouldn't expcet them to be since they are from two different companies. I think they are close enough. If you see one that goes better for another, please let me know and I'll make adjustments. The only one that really bothers me is "Not Quite Navy" & "Twilight" they are pretty different but I don't have a color to match "Not Quite Navy"
