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.

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 and 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!! I look forward to hearing/seeing you all!! You seriously do not want to miss out on these great kits!!


Thanks!!
Keeley

CTMH's Brand-New Snapease Album System

Our brand-new Snapease™ album system, featured in the Autumn/Winter 2009 Idea Book, makes it literally a snap to add or move pages in your albums. Completely compatible with all My Legacy® albums, the Snapease strip locks onto the special extender posts and stays locked when you want it to, but slides off in a snap when you want to add to or rearrange your album. Say goodbye to your screwdriver and hello to this great new system!

Beginning September 1, all Close to My Heart albums will ship with the Snapease album system. Snapease systems will also be available as stand-alone items at the regular prices shown in the Idea Book.
