Lady Caving

One of the things my boyfriend and I do together is caving and repelling.  There is a large group of us that always cave together. At the end of last year, us girls decided to do a trip by ourselves. It was a complete success. So much so, we decided we should do it every year. :)  All of our significant others missed us, but really we think they were just jealous we were caving wout them. Lol.

Because it was a girls trip, even though we were getting dirty, I thought it was appropriate to use the chantilly paper bc it is really bright and girly. Please excuse the quality of the pictues in my post. Pictures of pictures arent really that great.

The caption reads: Jack Hart, caving since 1948, came by to make sure we were ok w/out any menfolk.

On the left: Natalie's cave "poo".  Jesse learning how to rappel and ascend.

On the right: There was a small pit we had to rappel down into Rusty's. A lot of easily accessible caves are destroyed, but because this one required a little skill to get into the formations were amazing! 

And yes, that is me leaning over the edge in that last picture. :)

In January 2013, we took off to Trenton, GA to the 1st annual Lady Caving weekend.  We camped at Moses' Tomb, crawled through Howard's Waterfall, and trekked through Rusty's caves.  It was a fantastic time and I cannot wait to go back!

April Paper Club

As promised, here are 2 of the 3 layouts for April's Paper club. Enjoy!

Long Distance

Do you like the things we are going to be making at the club events, but can't make it to the one you want?  No problem, just let me know and I'll happily send you the kit to do easily in your own home.  If you want me to pre-stamp anything for you, I will be happy to do that as well. 

OR 

If you would like to participate in one of the workshops with just you and a few friends, that is possible as well.  I'm very flexible.  Just ask.

 

 

As an update.  I am working on finishing the layouts for the April scrapbooking clubs this week.  All of the layouts for April should be up by the end of the week!

 







Scrapbooking Clubs

Ch-ch-check it out!  I almost have everything ready to go.  I just added all the info about the monthly scrapbooking clubs.  I am offering two different ones.  If you like glitz and glam, you will definitely want to try out the WOTG club.  It utilizes a ton of embellishments and stamps!

If you wanna document your life, but don't have a ton of money to spend, then the Paper Craft Club is for you.  It is only $17 and it makes 2-3 two-page layouts each month.  It is definitely worth your time and money.

And following along with the card-making club, the April scrapbooking theme is Chantilly!  I can't wait to see you there!

Card Making Clubs

Check out the Card Making Club portion of my blog.  I just updated it with tons of info!  Here are the cards for the workshops in the month of April.  =)

2. March Stamp of the Month: In March, everything is coming up roses! This elegant set is perfect for friends, thank you's, wedding cards, anniversary cards, and so much more. I am excited to share a few things I have created with this set as the month goes on. I thought that today I would start out by showing the gorgeous artwork the Art Department at CTMH created. Delicious!
This set is yours for only $5 ($17.95) with each $50 you spend (if you spend $100, you can get two of them at $5 each and so on).

to place your order, head to my website. You will be asked if you would like to include the Stamp of the Month on your order when you check out.

3. Digital Delights: The wonderful Studio J (our marvelous, easy-to-use but oh-so-beautiful digital scrapbooking program) special has been extended through March 15. All 2-page 12" x 12" printed layouts are only $5 (usually $6.95). If you had great intentions of getting lots of layouts ordered in February but just didn't quite make it, you still have a couple more weeks to get them! Head to the Studio J portion of my website to play with this program.

Happy March, Everyone!

New Beginings!

Welcome to my CTMH blog.  Check me out regularly to see all there is to see that is going on with me and my business.  Starting in April, I will have monthly scrapbooking and cardmaking classes.  This month I am taking time to organize myself and my blog and get some projects prepared for next month.  If you see anything in the catalog that you want now though, I am open for business as far as orders and things go.  I would be happy to be your CTMH consultant. :)
