Deadline Extended

The deadline for Online Craft Club Project #3 has been extended until Ocotber 31.

If your September has been as busy as mine then I am sure you have been having trouble finding time to sit down and create your project.

Take some extra time this month and enjoy the last warm days we will have for awhile.

Workshops on the Go!

Workshops on the Go kits are a great way to get a lot of pages or cards completed in just a little bit of time.

In the Basic Workshop Kit you will receive a paper pack, exclusive stamp set, embellishments, and a workshop guide showing you how to create several layouts or cards from the
items in the kit. All for a discount of about 10%.

Currently there are 4 kits available, using 4 of the newest paper packs, Twitterpated, Grace, Jingle, and Sweet Home.

Look for more information about these exciting kits on my web site in the Calendar section and in upcoming posts on this blog.

Online Craft Project #2

Thank you to those of you who are participating in the Online Craft Club. I can't get pictures to load for our second project but they all looked great. It's nice to see how different projects are wven when you start with the same basic idea!

This month's winner is Debbie, who made a cube with her vacation photo's. She is receiving a free stamp set as her prize!

Don't forget about Project #3, based on our memories of 9-11!

Online Craft Club Project #3

There's still a couple of days to complete Project # 2. E-mail me a picture of your completed project by August 31.

9-11 has been on my mind a lot these past few days as we draw closer to the anniversary of that event. I'm sure most of us will never forget where we were that day. I was at work and remember the shock of my co-workers as news began to come into the warehouse. I remember just praying constantly as I went about that day. At break time everyone hovered around radios to get the latest news. No one said much. There were many tears and those of us who trust in the Lord did our best to encourage those around us who didn't have that hope.

For this month's project, use 9-11 as your starting point. Create a scrapbook page or other project to show where you were, your thoughts, feelings, anything that sticks out in your mind about 9-11. This project is pretty open ended. Maybe you'll decide to show your love for your country and your God, or perhaps a particular song touched you about that day. Or you might decide to depict the events as you remember them. Whatever you decide, please remember to use at least 50% Close to My Heart products in your project.

Mine is still a work in progress. When it is finished I will post it so you have an example to go by. You have until September 30 to e-mail me a picture of your completed project.

Online Craft Club Project #2

My Creations Cube

This cube makes a great gift for any occasion or make it for yourself. Mine showcases our family.

One of the things I love about the My Creations Cube is it's versatility. You can close up all the sides and have a cube that will sit there and be a showcase for those favorite photos, you can leave the top so it will open and have a gift box or a box for treasures from your family vacation, or even cut the cube apart and create a wall hanging.

You have until August 31 to complete this challenge. E-mail me (jenhallenbeck@myctmh.com) a picture of your completed project by this date and you will be entered to win a fabulous prize. The winning entry will be posted on my blog.

A couple of tips:

Liquid Glass works the best to adhere the edges of each side together. Run a small bead down the side then fold it together and hold for a few seconds.

I used a sponge to distress the edges of my cube with chocolate distressing ink.

And I used Embroidery Floss on the corners to give the appearance of the cube being tied together.

I can't wait to see your creations. Happy Scrappin'!
