Lots of letters there! If you are new to my blog or CTMH (that’s Close to my Heart) WOTG is workshop on the go and SOTM is stamp of the month. CTMH knows that we are a busy people now days, and have so many activities to do, especially those with kids. So they put together a great kit, and called it WOTG. It has 12 papers, and 10 pieces of cardstock, a mini medley kit to embellish your pages, as well as an exclusive stamp set that you can only get with that WOTG kit. They tell you how to make a 2 page layout and 6 cards with your kit. You will have enough left over to do other projects too!! This is a GREAT value!
There is a Stamp of the Month (SOTM) every month. It is exclusive to that month, so you can’t get it after the fact. You can pay $22.95 for it, or, order more and you can get it discounted, or even free!! Yesterday I told you about the special promo that is going on in January, where you can get the SOTM even more discounted! If you have more questions, just ask!!
Today, I went and spent some time at my favorite caffeine dispensing spot, and got to see some of my favorite Baristas! I love my Starbucks! I was there about an hour and a half, and I managed to make 2 full pages (sans photos) and finish up 17 birthday cards!! I timed the layouts from the WOTG, and it took me 56 minutes!! I had no cutting done yet, no papers ‘readied’ to go. This is pulling things out of the package and going! It really is super easy! They tell you where to cut on which pieces of paper, and then the measurements on where/how to put it all together!
So, I still need to practice the photography of my layouts, but this is what I did. (it’s still sans photos, I need to figure out which ones to put in there, and get them printed)
These cards use the January SOTM and a paper from the Miracle paper pack. This was a paper pack available back in September, and a little birdie told me that you would be able to see it again in February! Shhhh!!
What’s great about our papers, is that there is a design on both sides of the paper! The blue and green are the same piece of paper, just opposite sides!
