Doin' it the Wright Way

hey there blog readers! i know i've said it before, but time has gotten away from me and this blog was definitely put on the back burner. so, i apologize if there were any of you who read it faithfully and was disappointed when i stopped posting. after the next few weeks, i'm hoping things will slow back down so i will make it a point to post on here more regularly again. as of Sept. 1, the CTMH new idea book went live. i'm quite excited as there are some very cool new products and some changes happening in CTMH that i am sure is going to take the company in a crazy, new direction. i love the new paper packs. two of them are some of the most beautiful paper packs (IMO) that i have seen from the company, and i've definitely loved some of the previous paper packs. i am having a new catty bash next week to show off all the new products! if you're interested and did not already get an invitation from me, it's because i don't have your contact info or don...

  I finally finished the Workshop on the Go for Caboodle ! It will be my next month's club - so please let me know if you'd be interested in joining us!   Our new Workshops on the Go have two options: you can either make the two two-page layouts, pictured at the end of this post, or you can make 12 cards (also pictured) - two each of six designs! Every time I have completed these layouts, I've never made the cards, but I decided to this time. And they are so cute! And so easy! What a great way to create 12 cards quickly! And I have lots of paper left over to create even more!   I am going to start completing all the cards and use them for my own stash - obviously I need to do something as I still haven't finished my own 25 cards that I started making how many months ago!?!   The guide walks you through the first two-page scrapbook layout and the first six cards. And then you use our exclusive how-to books to complete the additional l...

  I can't believe my little cousin Travie is all grown up! We returned home yesterday from my cousin's graduation in Broken Bow. It was crazy seeing him walk across that stage.   Sorry I haven't posted lately, I'm going to blame that on him! I was working on graduation gifts/cards/orders.   I got my final two boxes done, and 24 more cards made. For this post, I'm just going to show the pictures of the cards.   I made the cards using the You Rock paper pack - I think it just screams graduation! And then I followed the instructions from the Originals and Wishes card confidence books. I also made two cards using the Game On paper pack , that I had left over from making boxes. The stamps I used are You Did It , Follow Your Dreams (retired), For Every Occassion , Dainty Thoughts  and the set from the You Rock WOTG Just Be You. Embellishments include buttons , stickers and Clear Sparkles .   Please let me know if you have any questions.   Happy...

  Another day, another dollar. Today I will be working at my "regular" job, but I will be thinking of the rest of the scrapbooking I need to get done.   As I'm sitting here thinking about it, I've decided I really like the Close to My Heart Workshops on the Go . While I'm actually working on the workshops trying to figure out how to do them, I may not always love them, as any of those who have scrapbooked with me know. But that's why I do them ahead of time ... figure them out so I can help the gals complete them successfully!   If you're not familiar with our WOTG program, it's quite simple. Every month we get together to scrapbook. We will all make the same layout, that is designed by Jeanette Lynton just for this purpose, but you can each use your own creativity to make it different. You purchase a guide and a paper pack and any other of the suggested embellishments you'd like to use. The guide takes you through each step of creating the layou...

  Good morning to one and all! Or maybe just one ... depends on if anybody reads this! :)   Please let me know: do you like all the updates I've made to my blog design over the last few days? I found a couple of very cool Web sites that let me do all that for free! Yeah!   I don't have a project to share today, but maybe soon I'll have some photos to share. I am getting ready to spend most of the day down in my scrapbooking "cave" getting some serious work done. I have projects to work on for other people, I have some graduation gifts and cards of my own to work on (I'm going to try using the paper pack Game On - I have high hopes), and I have an "about me" scrapbook page to make for our Close to My Heart swap. I've decided to use the paper pack You Rock - it could possibly be one of my all-time favorite paper packs. I've also still got those 25 Bella cards to finish. And if by some miracle (speaking of which, don't forget about our ...
