Monogram Stamps - A Personal Touch

I was so excited when Close To My Heart introduced these new Monogram stamps.  They are so elegant looking, versatile, and just $2.95.  Take a look at this video to learn more.



Here are some cards that I have made for my Club Members with their monograms.


What is a Club Member you ask?
 
 
Well it's someone who places a monthly order of at least $25.  It can be any product of their choosing OR the product they will need and use at the next Scrapbooking Club Workshop.
 
 
I take everyone's order and put them all together to place one big order and share the Hostess Rewards with the Club Members.  Once every 4 months they receive free product (as little as $25, but up to $40 plus an item at 50% off). 
 
 
How do I join a Club you ask?  It's simple, come to my Monthly Scrapbooking Club Workshop OR simply place a minimum order of $25 each month.  (I can even have the order shipped directly to you.)
 
 
 
Email me for more details or your order to become a Club Member today.
 
Here are all of the benefits of being in The Club:
  • A minimum of $25 in free product (about every 3-4 months)
  • A FREE Idea Book the month before it’s released
  • A FREE Monogram stamp set
  • 4 Cards created by me using your new Monogram stamp set OR one item from my Prize Bucket
  • FREE product when you Host a Party
  • FREE product when a friend Hosts a Party

La Belle Vie Scrapbooking Club - 2nd layout

Thanks so much for coming back to see the 2nd layout that we will be creating at my Monthly Scrapbooking Club on:
Thursday, January 10, 2013 from 6:30-9:30pm
Sunday, January 13, 2013 from 2-5pm
Cost starts at just $16 and includes a full Level 2 paper packet. You can also purchase all of the embellishments and tools used or you can borrow mine, the choice is up to you.
Contact me by Thursday, December 20 if you want to attend.



 I used the Workshop On The Go kit and a pattern from Make It From Your Heart to create this page.    I really like how it turned out.  I used the Cricut Artiste Bundle to cut, the center bracket, all of the flowers, and the sentiment piece.


I really enjoy being creative with ribbon and using it in other ways than just a border.  Here I sewed one edge of the Black Striped ribbon and then gathered it up and adhered the 2 ends together to create a circle. The bling gem in the center from the Boutique Assortment really finishes it off.


Now I can't take full credit for this idea.  I copied the idea of the little banners from the additional layout created by CTMH.  You use the lamp post stamp from the Workshop on the Go stamp set to create the post for these little banner flags.  If the link above doesn't work like I had planned you can see the stamp set on page 41 of the Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book.

 
So remember you can purchase the Workshop On The Go kit and Make It From Your Heart to complete this layout and more by shopping here.
OR if you live near Amelia (Chesterfield), VA you can join us for my Monthly Scrapbooking Club where we will create 4 12x12 pages including the 2 seen above at either of the following dates:
Thursday, January 10, 2013 from 6:30-9:30pm
Sunday, January 13, 2013 from 2-5pm
Cost starts at just $16 and includes a full Level 2 paper packet. You can also purchase all of the embellishments and tools used or you can borrow mine, the choice is up to you.
Contact me by Thursday, December 20 if you want to attend.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm working really hard to post more regularly.

La Belle Vie Scrapbooking Club in January

Anyone who has met me knows that pink is my favorite color.  I wear it all the time and my office is even painted pink.  So it's pretty safe to say that La Belle Vie is one of my favorite paper collections. 

I absolutely loved working with this paper (I even used it to decorate my calendar this year).  These papers would be great for scrappin' pictures of your sweetheart, family, delicate little girls, and anything elegant.

 
This is the page created with the Workshop On The Go kit.  You'll need the Cricut Artiste Bundle to cut, the center bracket, envelope, tag, and few other pieces.

The kit includes the Boutique Assortment with those great bling gems.  I also added the Black Striped ribbon

I really like the stamp set that you can only get in the Workshop On The Go kit.  It has this unique lamp post, the eiffle tower, "Ooh la la", and a super cute bicycle.  (You can see it on page 41 of the Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book.)

THANK YOU for supporting my business!

To anyone who has attended a Scrapbooking Class, Card Workshop, Crop, or any other event of mine - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!  I am so grateful to you for supporting my business this year.

For those ladies that purchased monthly or attend my monthly Scrapbooking Club I held my 2nd annual (free of charge) Club Member Christmas Party Crop this past Saturday, December 8.  Everyone brought a dish to share and a gift to exchange plus tons of scrappin' supplies to work on their projects.  We had a blast!

 
 
Each person also received the supplies to create this Make-N-Take page.  I took everyone's picture and provided them with all of the paper and embellishments.  I also offered amazing specials on my inventory as well as discounted and free product for orders.
 
This was just one of the ways that I could say THANK YOU to them for supporting my business. 
 
Ladies, THANK YOU again from the bottom of my heart.  You are true friends and I am forever grateful.  Jaime
