Monthly Baby Tracker

This great prop makes the PERFECT addition to monthly pictures for your baby!  It would make a great baby shower/new baby gift.









The blocks can be changed out so that months can be tracked through 24 months.  

Candy Bouquets

I have been SUPER busy in the craft department over the past few weeks.  One of my newest creations, the candy bouquet.  They can be made in any theme/color scheme and for any occasion.

Christmas Card Workshop Samples

Believe it or not, Christmas is just right around the corner!  Get a jump start on your holiday preparations by booking your Christmas card workshop early!  I will offer workshops at my house as well as go to your house to help you and your friends complete these beautifully designed Christmas cards.  I will do all the cutting ahead of time.  At the workshop you'll be provided with an instruction sheet of how to stamp, assemble and embellish your cards!  There are 3 different card layouts.  You can follow my sample cards that I have made OR get creative and come up with your own designs.  I will have the stamp set that I used for my cards available as well as several others for those who want some added variety.

At the workshop you'll create 30 fabulously embellished cards (Need more than 30? Additional cards are 10 for $10)  Workshop spaces will fill up quickly so get your scheduled soon!  There is no limit as to how many or few people can attend a workshop.  I can do one on one sessions or group events.  This is a GREAT way for people to get to try out our amazing Close To My Heart products without committing to purchase anything before trying it!  After all, you wouldn't buy a vehicle without test driving it first!!






Contact me soon to get your workshop scheduled!  I can do evening or weekend workshops so let me know what works with your schedule and we'll make it happen!!!

My Creations Star from CTMH

Close To My Heart has done it once again!  They have created a fabulous 3D product that is easy to work with, durable and has ENDLESS possibilities.  My living room is done in zebra print so I decided to customize my star to match!  It was such a quick and easy project and I LOVE the final results.



The star is $9.95 (Z1803) and worth EVERY PENNY of it!  In keeping with the promise to make things faster, simpler, easier, Close To My Heart offers a cutting template to make the project completion process that much faster!  Get a group of friends, purchase the star, get paper of your choice and I'll come to your house with my ink & stamps for you to use to decorate your star!  Contact me for more information or to set up a workshop :)

Custom Banner Order

I had an order for 2 banners for a baby shower for a little boy.  The Mom-To-Be liked the Tiffany blue and sock monkeys so here's my take on the banner.  I hope both the Mom and the girl hosting the shower like it!  









Here's the second banner.  I received a text and the buyer is more than happy :)  LOVE it when a customer's  vision is able to become a reality :)

I LOVE FALL!!!

Fall is my favorite season.  The beautiful colors, the crisp cool air, the trips to the pumpkin patch, I love it all!    This stamp is the PERFECT stamp to celebrate the upcoming fall season!

You can make this adorable card at my workshop on Friday September 14th.  This card has so many possibilities!  The card can be left as it is or you can spruce it up by adding some color to your scarecrow.  It's a super easy card to make and it will be loved by the people who receive it.  You must sign up for this workshop no later than August 31st.  The cost of the workshop will be 10 cards for $10.  Want to make more than 10?  Cards are $1.00 each so just let me know how many to prepare for you!

This workshop can also be done at your house if you're looking for a fun thing to do while getting a few of your friends together to hang out.  If you have 5 or more people sign up for the 10 for $10 option at your workshop, the hostess (you!) will get to make 10 cards for FREE!!!  The question was asked earlier "If I host a workshop do I have to sell stuff?"  My answer is NO!  There is no requirement to sell anything however once you and your friends try our fabulous products there is always the opportunity to purchase any items from the current Idea Book.  If you're not a scrapbooker/cardmaker but think this would be a fun thing to try, go ahead, try it!  There's no commitment to purchase anything and all supplies (minus adhesive) will be supplied.  If you would like, I can supply adhesive for a small additional fee.

Visit CraftedWorks on Facebook and be sure to check back in on my blog periodically for new projects :)

Happy Crafting!

4-H project

I was given the opportunity this past week to work with a sweet young girl who is entering a scrapbook into the fair for 4-H.  Her Mom brought her over with supplies and pictures in hand and she jumped right in!  We talked about the basics of scrapbooking and the project was for her to create a scrapbook herself.  I haven't seen the finished product yet but she caught on quickly while she was here so I'm sure that she did a fantastic job.  She also interviewed me to find out things like what are my favorite tools, how I got started with CTMH, and a few other fun questions.  It was fun to be able to share my scrapbooking knowledge with her and hopefully she enjoyed making her scrapbook.

Yesterday I received a message from her Mom asking if I could create a banner for her to display during the fair.  Maggie is also showing pigs at the fair.  It was a pleasure to make it for her and I hope she does well in the fair and likes her banner :)  (the banner is laminated which is why I didn't add dimension to it)
