2012 National Scrapbooking Month: Dotty for You

I am so excited about this paper pack!  I got it today and it is unbelievably cute!  My goal is NOT to hoard this paper, but to use it all up!!  Let me know if you would like info on how you can get your very own pack.

Front and Center: Project Inspiration Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book

Challenge

I usually don't participate in challenges, but this one really appealed to me.  The challenge was to MAKE A CARD USING A LAYOUT DESIGN FROM ONE OF OUR EXCLUSIVE BOOKS (Magic, Imagine, or Reflections).  Also using items from the current Idea Book.  My 6x6 card was from Magic:  Deck of Cards.  I used Florentine paper pack.  Also on the layout are Flutter Shapes, Durables Round Studs , and of course I used Art Philosphy Cricut Cartridge.

So I CHALLENGE you to do the same!  See how creative you can be! 

USE THAT LOOT!

My name is Melissa and I am a scrapbook supplies HOARDER.  There I said it.  I have recently decided that it is time to USE it or LOSE it.   Are you with me? 
I am seriously going to try to use up some of my partial paper packs.  It's ridiculous how many paper packs I have that retired YEARS ago.  This layout is very uber simple...in fact I did it late late at night and didn't do much at all to it.  BUT, the pics ARE on a page ready to be put in an album. So, Ta-da!  The paper pack is from CTMH--Stardust.  It was a really cute pic.  I used the little accessories and stickease that went with it.

My latest favorite thing

I am totally in love with one of our new paper packs--Stella.  It is so gorgeous.  I scraplifted this from Amanda Canale.  I saw it at retreat a few weeks ago and KNEW I would make several.  This is my first attempt.  I really like how it came out.  I know I will be making a lot more.  I'm thinking teacher appreciation, birthday gifts, etc.  I made this one for my sweet friend, Chandra.  Chandra...if you see this act surprised when you open it.  HAHA!  I put this in a 12x12 frame.

OH my goodness!

Yes, I am that blogger.  The one that has very good intentions, but doesn't stay on top of it.  For that, I appologize!  I wanted to share with you the March Close To My Heart campaign.  New Consultants who sign up in March will receive a fabulous Cricut^® Art Philosophy collection FREE!  How awesome is that?! 

Last month (Feb) I was able to attend our team retreat.  It was fabulous!  Making new friends and getting to chat and hug old ones is always fun!  I completed 20+ pages and can't wait to put them in their albums.  Here are a few pages that I completed

We used Lucy to complete these four pages.  I LOVE the Grey Wool with the pinks.  If you would like to complete these pages, e-mail or call me and I will get you set up.
