That is a mouthful of a title but there has been so much going on this month for me that it sums it up!!
First the Art Night– the group of ladies in my downline and in my upline’s downline usually get together regularly for unit meetings but recently we decided to try something different- focusing just on art and through that teaching some business stuff. Our first Art night was just a few days ago and these pictures are of the stuff we showed and created!
The box up top I created as part of my “Fun with Ribbon theme”- even though the most recent episode has just shown how to make ribbon flowers most of the ladies present had not seen the technique yet. Super simple technique that really packs a punch! You don’t even need fancy supplies!! If you want to see how it was done click here to watch Eclectic Elegance.
I also created the ribbon ruffle on the card below using the tips in that episode!

Next I showed how to create your own glimmer mist- I showed this at our stamp camp as well but many of the ladies present for the art night were not at that event and this was one people LOVED!! It is hard to see in the photo but the snowflakes and heart on the following two cards are nice and shiny!! They are easy and look amazing. I also showed that you can use one paper pack from CTMH and really get so much out of it like I did here for a winter card and a valentines card both created with Caboodle paper!
My upline also showed this layout she created- also using a ribbon ruffle and again showing how versatile our paper is! Another big part of hers was the versatility of our stamps and inks. Her layout has a cute stamped border using a star- the colours are smoothie and pear even though three colours show. HOW?? she used second generation stamping in the smoothie to create the light pink colour. Super easy!
A Winner – I received fab news this week. I had won one of the Make it from Your Heart Contests that CTMH holds for consultants. WHOO HOO!! The box at the very top is similar to what I made using the November Stamp of the Month- I cannot show you the winning project (well I suppose I could but I want to wait until they reveal all the winners and it was supposed to be for the November Stamp of the Month blog hop!)
A Technique– In case you do not know how to make glimmer mist out of your CTMH products here is my recipe that I LOVE!! Take 2 tablespoons of water, a dollop of our pearl paint and 7 drops of a reinker of your choice. Mix in a spray bottle and you are ready to use!! I spray my projects inside a box so that the spray does not get everywhere and they do need time to dry so don’t try creating stuff with this last minute!
enjoy!!
Until we craft again, The Brae-er
