Wrapping Up A Scrapi Year

I can't believe it's been nearly a whole month since I've blogged. 
I'm sure there are a lot of people who can relate with me this month. Something happened after Thanksgiving. Poo craziness.  Although I did not blog, I did have lots of fun projects going on, including a super fun kids class at my daughter's old elementary school (she's 6th grade now)!  I loved that they asked me back to do six week afterschool class. It was so much fun with this group of girls!

Each week we did two scrapbook pages and a project, which they took home each week. At the end of the six week class, they took home their filled scrapbook to add the perfect pics. I was so proud of them - on the last day, I brought paper trimmers, paper, stamps and embellishments and let them create their own pages! They had so much fun and the pages turned out so fabulous.  I love seeing scrapbooking through young eyes.

2013 Summer/Spring CTMH Idea Book

What a fabulous Scrapi year it was!  Not just the afterschool classes but I enjoyed the kid's workshops I also held in my Scrapi home throughout the year, and my super fun summer camps.  I've met some wonderful adult ladies this year through the Leesburg Scrapbooking and Papercrafting group I was asked to coordinate on Meetup, at various crops I've coordinated or attended through the year, at my monthly Scrapi Home Studio workshops and Crops, and at my new Sip 'n Scrap monthly events!  I am so looking forward to more fun in 2013.  From the looks of the new CTMH Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Books that just arrived, I am really excited for the future!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you all!!

Belated Thanksgiving Turkey Card

I have been having some technical difficulties and have not been able to blog. I am back and although it's past Thanksgiving and we are on to Christmas creations, I wanted to share this super neat card I made for one of my afterschool kid's classes!

It's using two of my favorite new CTMH products- the treat cups and the Artiste collection (the latter just keeps giving and giving as I find more cool creations to make with it every day).

Skittles made the perfect candy for inside with its Fall colors. And, Artiste gave me the adorable turkey. I finished it off with some natual hemp for the bow around its neck, and my Thanksgiving stamped sentiments!  The background B&T is from Flirty and the cardstock is Kraft.  I hope you like it!
