So, I was asked by a client to make a sign for her to be able to hang at her desk. She shares her desk with 3 other people, and this way the kids would know which was her desk. When I asked, she said she didn’t have any favorite colors or anything. She just wanted it to say “Mrs. B”. Soooo, I had a blank slate. (sometimes, that’s the hardest spot to start!) So, I started and finished it today! I am really hoping that she will like it!!

Forgive my photos, they don’t do it justice! The colors are a bit off, but I wanted to get some shots of it before I had to give it away! LOL

The papers are all made from the Wings WOTG kit! In fact, almost everything here is from that kit! I made the ‘dimensional’ letters using my silhouette! I decided that I wanted to make the letters stand out a bit more, so I put liquid glass over the top of them, so they are all nice and glossy looking!

Items used:
Cardstocks: White daisy, vineyard berry, sweet leaf
Paper: Wings WOTG
Ribbon: Black Grosgrain
Elements: black button brads, pearl opaques, licorice opaques, itty bitty sparkles
Adhesives: liquid glass, glue dots
tools: Fiskars paper trimmer, corner rounder, paper piercing kit, micro tip scissors, silhouette

And this makes 3/3 on my craftiness every day of the year!

Teresa from Fabulously Artsy is hosting a linky party with different things made with the items in the new Brochure! Be sure to check out some of the other fab items!! And make sure to check my previous days, as I have some other cards and things made with the Wings WOTG!!

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!
