February Club Layout

Here's the layout for February's hostess club! We are using the new Unforgettable papers and Fancy Cut Botanicals (which, by the way, are SO cute in person!). I might not be done with this yet, but I'm going to let it sit a while before I do anything else to it. Layout if straight out of Cherish.

And, while I'm at it, here's the layout we did for January's club meeting. I'm pretty sure I never posted it. Again, layout is directly from Cherish and we used the new Emporium Creative Basics paper, which is a steal... 16 papers and 8 yards of ribbon for under $9? I'll say yes to that every time. =) We also used the new Designer Pewter Brads... so cute.

Altered Mini-Composition Book Swap

I've been busy lately, just not super busy with much paper-crafting creating. After my open house and the crop with Emily, I got busy with some Christmas crafting... specifially I made this quiet book for my little girl. It was a fun project, but took a lot of time.

I started creating again this week, this time working on some consultant swaps that I've signed up for. Here is the first one I've finished... its an altered mini-composition notebook with a matching pen and 3x3 card. I made 8 of them and I'm sending them off to another consultant, who will sort them out and sent me back one of mine plus six more made by six other consultants. I'll use them for hostess gifts, among other things, when I get the swap back at the end of January. Its been fun to get back to crafting...
