CTMH's December WOTG - Sweet Home!!

Come Join Me For This Exciting New SCRAPBOOKING & CARDMAKING Workshop On The Go - Sweet Home!!

Sunday, December 13 from 1 to 5 p.m.
at the Kirwan House - 9 Mammoth Circle, Madison, WI - (608) 320-9801

*MUST RSVP by Thursday, December 3 - 5:00 p.m.!!

Sweet Home is a fun, new, Level 2 Paper Pack which was introduced in the Autumn/Winter 2009 Idea Book. It is a beautiful set of patterned papers which uses Buttercup, Garnet, Heavenly Blue and Indian Corn Blue colors.

The Workshop On The Go program can accomodate BOTH Scrapbookers and Cardmakers alike!! At the actual workshop, you can choose to do four layouts OR you can choose to do 12 cards with the papers provided, AND you will still have some left over for other projects. If you add a couple additional pieces of Cardstock you can do it all!! (Please note...in the four hour window you more than likely will not finish all 4 layouts and 12 cards, but instructions are provided on how to complete the remainder from home if you so choose.)

For our Scrapbooking Workshop On The Go, we will be creating four wonderful layouts as seen in the below pictures.



For our Cardmaking Workshop On The Go, we will be creating 12 wonderful cards (2 each of 6 designs) as seen in the below pictures.



STANDARD KIT:
What you will receive in this wonderful new WOTG? No matter whether you do the Scrapbooking WOTG or the Cardmaking WOTG, the basic kit is the same. You will receive:

* X7116B: Level 2 Sweet Home Paper Pack - $12.95 (page 14 of the A/W Idea Book)
* New EXCLUSIVE B-Sized Stamp Set: Enjoy the Journey - $13.95
(see the flier for these adorable stamps). This stamp set can not be purchased in the A/W Idea Book - ONLY thru this WOTG!!)
* Z1136: Mini-Medley Accents White Daisy Collection - $7.95 (page 93)
* Workshop Guide - $1.00

This standard kit is worth $34.85, but CTMH is giving you a great deal if you sign up now...you can receive this kit with its EXCLUSIVE stamp set for only $29.95 (plus shipping & tax).


ADDITIONAL EMBELLISHMENTS:
If you adore the layouts and cards above, then you will want to purchase the additional elements listed below. You can choose one, all or none of them. I seriously recommend making the splurge though. They totally dress up the layouts and cards, and you will not be disappointed...I PROMISE!!

* Z1154: Designer Ribbon Rounds Buttercup Collection - $7.95 (page 90 of the A/W Idea Book)
* Z1211: Top Coats - $4.95 (page 93)

The standard kit is $29.95 plus the additional embellishments brings your total to $42.85 (plus shipping & tax).


NOT DIGGIN' THE EXCLUSIVE STAMP SET:
Some people do not want the exclusive CTMH Stamp Set in their WOTG - we can reduce your cost of the workshop by removing this item, and you can borrow mine if you do not wish to own it. Just let me know at the time you place your order.


WANT TO DO IT ALL:
For those of you that would like to take advantage of both the Scrapbooking AND Cardmaking WOTG you can do so by purchasing 4 additional sheets of Cardstock from myself for $2.00.

The standard kit with the additional cardstock is $31.95 (plus shipping & tax).
The standard kit with the additional embellishments and cardstock is $44.85 (plus shipping & tax).


LIVE OUT OF TOWN OR NOT ABLE TO ATTEND:
No Problem!! You can still join in on the fun and do these great workshops!! I can put the kits together and send them to you!! Here are some additional items that you may be interested in purchasing to complete your layouts and cards as I provide them for all to use at the workshop (S = Scrapbooking WOTG; C = Cardmaking WOTG; B = Both):

I will have adhesive their to purchase if you should forget yours.


PAYMENT:
As always, if you purchase the kits outright or sign up to attend the Scrapbooking or Cardmaking WOTG, you are responsible for paying for it even if you are not able to attend. I am always more than willing to have you come to another workshop to work on it or find a time that would work best for you!! I accept cash, check and all major credit cards.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me an e-mail or give me a call at (608) 320-9801!! I look forward to hearing/seeing you all!! You seriously do not want to miss out on these great kits!!

Having A Wonderful Holiday Weekend!!

The Kirwan family is having a wonderful holiday weekend and are sure hoping you are too!! I know I am so far behind on posting pictures...I think I need to post everything from October yet...ugh...hoping to get to that later today!! We have been busy busy busy this weekend.

I held a CTMH Creative Basics Jingle Card Workshop on Wednesday evening so we headed up north to visit family on Thursday morning around 9:30 a.m. We got up to Turtle Lake about 1:30 p.m. and had a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner with Sean's stepmom, Laurie, and family. She always makes the best Thanksgiving dinner...let me tell you...I think she could seriously feed any army with all that food...hehehe...but it was delicious!! We then played some games, watched some football and chatted. We headed back to my parent's house around 10:00 p.m.

My sister, mom and I headed out for some Black Friday shopping in Rice Lake, WI around 8:00 a.m. We hit Perkins first to get a good, solid base in us first...hehehe. Then it was on to the mall, Shopko and K-Mart. We had a great time and got some awesome deals as always. I love Black Friday shopping in Rice Lake...they only have about 6000 people so it really doesn't get all that busy (at least not like Madison, WI does...hehehe). Came home and went to dinner with my family at Bona Casa...the best Italian food ever!!

Saturday morning was spent playing at my parent's house with the kiddos, and then we headed out to go visit with Sean's mom, Barb, and family. We got here about 30 minutes ago so looking forward to chillin' with them and then heading back to my parent's house for some sleep.

Tomorrow we are heading to my grandma's to visit with them. It will be nice to see my Grandma as my parent's and aunt make it down to Madison quite often, but my Grandma doesn't ususally come down so it will be nice to talk with her tomorrow. Probably going to grab some dinner and then head on back to Madison. We normally get home around 10 or 11 p.m. Get the kiddos to bed and unload the car and off to dream world for us too.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and continue with a great weekend!!

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

As always, if you purchase the kits outright or sign up to attend the Cookie Sheet Advent Calendar Workshop, you are responsible for paying for it even if you are not able to attend. I am always more than willing to have you come to another workshop to work on it or find a time that would work best for you!! I accept cash, check and all major credit cards.

My CTMH Jingle WOTG Layouts & Cards

I am waiting for my pictures to arrive so my layouts are empty, but you get the picture!! These were really fun to make. I loved sponging the Z1226 - Dimensional Elements On Target Chipboard Circles...they really make the layouts and cards "POP!" The new alpha stamp set E1014 - Posterboard is also a "Must Have!!" Oh yeah...and for a cheap way to add some great "BLING" to your pages check out our Z1220 - Twinkle Brads Jolly Assortment!!




CTMH's November WOTG - JINGLE!!

Come Join Me For This Exciting New SCRAPBOOKING & CARDMAKING Workshop On The Go - Jingle!!

Sunday, November 22 from 1 to 5 p.m.
at the Kirwan House - 9 Mammoth Circle, Madison, WI - (608) 320-9801

*MUST RSVP by Monday, November 9 - 5:00 p.m.!!


Jingle is a fun, new, Level 2 Paper Pack which was introduced in the Autumn/Winter 2009 Idea Book. It is a beautiful set of patterned papers which uses Creme Brulee, Juniper, Olive and Tulip colors.

The Workshop On The Go program can accomodate BOTH Scrapbookers and Cardmakers alike!! At the actual workshop, you can choose to do four layouts OR you can choose to do 12 cards with the papers provided, AND you will still have some left over for other projects. If you add a couple additional pieces of Cardstock you can do it all!! (Please note...in the four hour window you more than likely will not finish all 4 layouts and 12 cards, but instructions are provided on how to complete the remainder from home if you so choose.)

For our Scrapbooking Workshop On The Go, we will be creating four wonderful layouts as seen in the below pictures.



For our Cardmaking Workshop On The Go, we will be creating 12 wonderful cards (2 each of 6 designs) as seen in the below pictures.
