New Workshops and Online Classes

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, I been missing in action on my blog for the past 3 years. A lot of things have changed in my life in the past few years.  I moved up to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.  I am still working on unpacking some stuff and getting it organized.  I also started working full time in a school the spring after moving here.  Now, due to health stuff going on I am not working and have more time to spend being creative again.  So, I will be hopefully bringing you lots of inspiration.

I am still an Independent Consultant with Close to My Heart.  I am starting to create my own workshops & guides as well as offering online classes/workshops on my Facebook page.

The 1st online class I am offering is on Oct. 22nd at 7:30 pm MST.  It is making cards with the Every Little Thing Cardmaking Workshop Kit.  This kit makes 4 different cards and 4 of each design.  I am also going to design a few extra using the scraps from the kit as well.  Check out the event page here and order your supplies so that you can play along.  A complete list of supplies is on the event page.  I hope you can join me as I learnt so much making these and tried techniques that I had never done before.  
Makes 4 of each of these designs.

Kit includes an exclusive stamp and thin cut.  This is my favorite card kit that Close to My Heart has ever put out.


I just created an 18 page workshop using the Every Little Thing line.  I have created a PDF cutting & instruction guide for the workshop.  You can get the guide with a $30 order on my website.  Once you place an order I will email it to you.  









I am also offering a Pre-cut kit option for $120 plus shipping if you are not local to me.  That works out to $13.33 for 2 pages.  What a great deal.   Orders for Pre-cut kits due by October 20, 2019 with payment.  EMT please to scrappinkimberly@gmail.com

Pre- Cut Kit will include:

Other supplies used:
Stamp of the Month Free Gift
Layout designed by corporate staff using Autumn Air the October Stamp of the Month.

Autumn Air the October Stamp of the Month 
$25.75  or you can get it for $6.75 when you make a order of $67.50.   

  When you order a Stamp of the Month from me I will send you a FREE Gift of a PDF containing the directions and cutting guide to special workshop designed by my upline Chelsey Vorosmarty.  Here is the layout that she designed this month.  It features some different techniques and the gold embossing on it is beautiful.  This workshop uses the Hawthorn paper and wood shapes.



Thanks for visiting me and I hope I have inspired you.  I would love it if you would leave a comment.

I have made this layout using the My Crush Everyday Life PagesSilver Foil Taper,  Black ink  and White Daisy cardstock.

I am going to use this layout to scrapbook my sister's wedding day.  The mint green in these papers is a perfect match for her flowers and the girls dresses.  I haven't decided yet if I will use 1 large picture or 2 smaller photos on this layout yet.  There are so many fun patterns in the My Crush Everyday Life Pages that you can not get on any of our other papers.  These My Crush pages work great for cards too.
