I created 2 layouts using the new Whimsy line.  I really love this line.  First I created a layout from a CTMH workshop that uses the line to create pages for all 12 months of a babies life.  I thought it would be really cool to adhere the current babies age to a canvas and change it out each month.  When that month is done place it in your baby book.  Hang it in the room and see how your baby grows.  I lightly tacked each corner to the canvas but a 12x12 scrapbook frame would look fabulous. 
The second layout is my creation.  This layout is more versatile and can be used for a little girl or fun family day in the park.  The colors are beautiful, light and clean.  I can't wait to play with the paper more and see what I can come up with.

I can't wait to get my hands on my close to my heart consultant kit. I have hit the ground running and I'm so excited about this product. Tonight is going to be so much fun!!!! I just texted my husband and told him I thought it would be really great if we could convert our garage into a craftroom for me to do classes and have crops. I have yet to hear back from him. LOL. It is so hard for men to understand our love from scrapbooking. It is something that makes us happy and a great excuse to get together as women and visit. Plus if we are busy crafting we are too busy to notice our husbands not completing their Honey Do lists. That should make them happy, right. I will be posting pics of what I have made Soon. Check back and see what is going on in my craftroom.

I am so excited to be sharing the new catalog at our Catalog launch on Aug. 9th 6pm at Pebble Creek Country Club.  I am sure it is going to be lots of fun.  I have been working on pages using the new fundamental paper, cards with new stamps and embellishments with my cricut cartridge Artistry.  I have booked my first gathering, thanks Mom for hosting.  I love Disney and will be doing a workshop using the magical workshop kit.  I am hoping to help my fellow scrapbookers with the cut instructions by teaching them techniques I have found to be very useful and time saving.
