Not every project appeals to every person so having all of these choices makes it a sure thing that something is going to be right up your alley. Links to my website are underlined.<br />
<br />
If you like getting something for free and doing scrapbook layouts, why not grab one of (or all of) the bundles for<a href="https://caronbarnard.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/campaigns/1906-best-moments.aspx" target="_blank">e</a><b> <a href="https://caronbarnard.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/campaigns/1906-best-moments.aspx" target="_blank">The Best Moments Are Fre</a>e</b>. For the price of a stamp set, you also get the materials to make a 2-page layout absolutely free! Even if you're not a scrapper, you can still use everything to make cards or other types of artwork. To make things even more interesting, you can save money buy purchasing all of the kits for only $52.95 (actual value is over $107!!!). You'll need to hurry, though, as this special is only good through the end of June.<br />

Last but certainly not least is the new<a href="https://caronbarnard.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/campaigns/1906-share-the-joy.aspx" target="_blank"> <b>Share The Joy</b></a><b> </b>special. There are so many ways to use these stamps and Thin Cuts, my head is spinning! This special is good through the end of July OR while supplies last. Thin Cuts are a huge favorite so they can and do sell out quickly. Don't wait too long to order yours!</div>

I know I'm extremely lucky to have an entire room dedicated to my hobby/business but I'm constantly trying to improve the setup. For years now I've held my classes and workshops at the dining room table because I just couldn't figure out a way to comfortably seat everyone in the studio (it's long and narrow). However, I think I've finally done it - at least for small groups. The secret was moving all of my sewing gear and fabric into another room (that's a project for another day...have you heard of the Ultimate Sewing Box?!).<br />
<br />
So, today I'm sharing pictures of my redesigned studio. Please let me know what you think!<br />
Smiles, Caron<br />
<br />
This is the view from the pass-through window of the kitchen. My creating space is way at the other end. By the way, you can make any picture bigger by clicking on it.<br />

Then we have the view from the other end of the room. This is where I plan to have my guests come to create now. I can also move the tables so they're end to end in case I have more than four at a time. Yes, I totally staged this picture just for my blog visitors! Normally, the tables are left empty as my son loves to come in and do his own scrapbooking while I'm at work and he knows not to touch mom's stuff; something he learned the hard way.<br />

Here's a closer look at my work station. I need to get a rug under that chair because it keeps catching on the tile grooves. I've already fallen out of a rolling chair a couple of times and it's not fun! All of my cardstock, paper collections, albums and really big things are in the Expedit unit to the left.</div>

At the other end of the room is where I keep my stamp sets and completed cards. These mesh drawers came from Bed Bath and Beyond and are a perfect fit.

I've shown this before but it still gives me warm fuzzies when I look at it. This is my art wall. Rather than spending lots of money on a "system", I designed and installed my own on the cheap using things from Walmart. I change out the artwork whenever I have new things to showcase. My Cricut and Cuttlebug are on the rolling cart below which makes it easy to move them close when I need to use them.</div>

Other times, not so much. So what do I do when inspiration just isn't there? I start by finding the stamps I want to use and then I choose a couple of papers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNAz4oudujK7i5eQiyOd_ASKSIqm4ubPTlLPGAPuRsFlYJPHYLgT2gDQvkyoMonL1U8N6DQu5esTXxdUGac3Y2HLhvNoZORe3AxF46wmpcPrib7IQRgBekl8kg4DKrKmkVNLy14PCtVZha/s1600/P5170007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNAz4oudujK7i5eQiyOd_ASKSIqm4ubPTlLPGAPuRsFlYJPHYLgT2gDQvkyoMonL1U8N6DQu5esTXxdUGac3Y2HLhvNoZORe3AxF46wmpcPrib7IQRgBekl8kg4DKrKmkVNLy14PCtVZha/s400/P5170007.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I look through my idea book or any of our Make It From Your Heart guides and find something that I think will work. I figured the design below would work with my horizontal sentiment and that I would use the eggplant stripes instead of the yellow and the floral print instead of the white/clouds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, somewhere along the way, I decided I didn't quite like that look so I tried a couple of other things and voila! My card was complete. It's funny how I start out trying to copy and end up being creative on my own without even knowing it :) Same basic card/different look altogether!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg76xr0yKEIcU1mvreypmslpzHWv9jNm-po0oryFRewqKjqBg9ngyCT03IZt9jmMC-Jvn6rPz3TmkpFoTeGQrjrDCk_C-fEcGDA1jYlF3kT4HbKRHw0ddI5iEuolYCXzvXpwt9ImwmGczXV/s1600/P5170009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg76xr0yKEIcU1mvreypmslpzHWv9jNm-po0oryFRewqKjqBg9ngyCT03IZt9jmMC-Jvn6rPz3TmkpFoTeGQrjrDCk_C-fEcGDA1jYlF3kT4HbKRHw0ddI5iEuolYCXzvXpwt9ImwmGczXV/s400/P5170009.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
And that's how my process works! By the way, even if you straight up copy a card, it still counts as being creative. The pieces didn't put themselves together, after all, did they?<br />

What should have been a minor thing turned out to be a lengthy ordeal. In the fall, I managed to cut open my shin to the point where I had to call 911 and be taken by ambulance to the hospital. Twenty two stitches and staples later, they sent me home. Three days later, I didn't think things were looking very good, so I went back to the ER. They didn't seem alarmed and sent me home. A week later, I still thought things looked bad so back I went. This time, they decided I was right and I ended up being admitted. Unbelievable. Apparently, my wound wasn't healing properly and my blood pressure was sky high. From then on, I've been stuck at home with my leg elevated and in a soft cast until it heals. It's going on two months now! Never did I ever imagine something like this would happen. So, there's my explanation of my absence (if anyone noticed).<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Because of my limitations, I haven't been able to play with any of the new products in the Seasonal Expressions :( However, I am having a little "Check it Out" night this coming Tuesday. I have new idea books and lots of products to show and I'm somehow going to manage a card or two to make. If you'd like to join us, let me know!</div>

Well, this month was an experience I will never forget. The first two weeks were unplanned, unexpected and full of sorrow. My uncle was in the hospital from the 1st to the 5th. He was discharged home (against everyone's better judgment) and he passed away on the 8th. It was not an easy time, to say the least. I tried to get back into the spirit for my son's sake but there was a definite cloud hanging over it all. Christmas itself was quiet with just the two of us but we did get to experience the chaos of yesteryear when we had a video chat with the rest of the kids/grandkids in Orlando. And now...I'm ready for the year to end. <br />
Which reminds me that our current Holiday Expressions idea book will also end on the 31st, along with several of our promotions. Check my website to see what's what.<br />
<br />
Beginnings<br />
2019 brings the promise of new beginnings and there's nothing I would like more! Starting on 1/1/19, there will be a new Seasonal Expressions idea book :) The new paper collections and stamp sets are quite inspiring! January is also National Papercrafting Month and we have a gorgeous home decor project for you! I'll share a picture of mine on the 1st. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, visit my website daily to see what the Boxing Week specials are. It starts at 2am EST every day and each day has new deals. I haven't been up that early but hear that several items were sold out within an hour or two. Me...I'd rather sleep but here's to the diehard shoppers out there!<br />

In addition to preparing for Christmas and all that entails, I'm also traveling back and forth to the hospital every day. It's still the early stages and pretty much everything is a bit chaotic and overwhelming. I'll be back when things calm down. May you all have a very happy holiday!<br />

It's November already! It kind of snuck up on me seeing that it's still in the 80s here in Florida. Autumn is my favorite season but it never quite feels the same as it did when I lived up north. Ah well. I got to visit all four seasons today when I made the cards I'm going to show you. This is the free card kit you'll receive when you place an order that qualifies you to buy the November stamp of the month, <a href="https://caronbarnard.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/sotm/2018/1811-seasonal-trees.aspx" target="_blank">S1811 Seasonal Trees</a> for $5.

Seriously, CTMH has come out with so many options for us, it's incredible! They're making sure there is something for everyone and that's fantastic! Let's have a little review. If you click on the link under each picture, you can see more details about each one. I can't stress enough that all of these are while supplies last so if you're wanting something, do not wait! We've had some very popular items sell out very quickly in the past few months.<br />
<br />
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and we brought back a very popular stamp/thin cut set. It's called Ribbon Warrior and can be used for all sorts of causes by just switching up the ribbon color. Good only through October or while supplies last.<br />

Wow, once that mojo kicked in, it didn't want to stop! I had to force myself out to cook dinner and run errands. The house cleaning can wait :) Anyway, I wanted to share what I've come up with so far. There may be more. Who knows?!<br />

I hope it's a good one for you. I've been creating in my studio and just enjoying the day. This month's exclusive stamp set is S1810 Thanks & Giving. It's perfect for any type of gratitude card or layout. Here are the cards I've designed as my special thank you when you place an order of $50 or more and add the stamp set for just $5.<br />

Even if I don't get the traditional parts (leaves changing color, cool temperatures, etc), I can still enjoy the feeling. The Grateful Heart paper collection is a great way to bring Autumn to my steamy part of Florida. Wouldn't you like to make these cards? You can when you order this paper suite! I'll email you a full-color guide to recreate them.<br />

First up is <a href="https://caronbarnard.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=11215&ci=11432" target="_blank">Boutique</a>. It's very pretty and elegant with a touch of whimsy. Since each pack of paper comes with two sheets of PML (Picture My Life) scrapbook cards, I decided to use them to make regular cards! As a bonus just from me, whenever you purchase a paper pack, I'll send you via email a full-color guide showing you how to recreate them.<br />
<br />
Here are the Boutique PML cards:<br />

I haven't done this in quite a while and, while it's a lot of work, I didn't realize how much I love doing it. The ideas are just crowding my brain and it's overwhelming but exciting trying to bring them all to life :) I do hope I get a bunch of people to attend as I enjoy sharing my love of this craft with other like-minded crafters! <br />
<br />
Here is the last batch of cards I made using the PML sheet in the paper packs. You get the instructions to recreate them free when you buy that particular set of paper. It's always helpful to have a starting point when you get something new!<br />

Those of us in south Florida have been given a thorough drenching thanks to what is now Tropical Storm Gordon. And those on the west coast and into Louisiana, etc. are in for it next. Here's hoping it passes quickly and everyone is safe.<br />
<br />
That being said, I've had plenty of time to craft since I was pretty much housebound! In addition to my stamp of the month offer (free card kits), I'm also creating free files to make cards out of the PML card sheet that comes in our paper packs. I rarely use them for scrapbooking and felt it was a waste. So...I've been designing cards with them! The offer is whenever you buy a paper pack, I'll send you a free digital file for the cards I made so you can make them, too.<br />

Everything will be precut and ready for you to stamp with your new set. I'll also email you a full color file with pictures and instructions for putting them together, along with a list of supplies that I used in case you want to make more.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s today!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The new
idea book is live today!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You cannot
imagine how happy I am to say that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve
been keeping the contents secret since the beginning of July and it’s been
killing me not to spill the beans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll
admit, I went a bit overboard with my orders because I simply wanted everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All restraint went out the window.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank goodness I have nobody to answer to
about my weakness for CTMH goodness <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, you can take a look at the online version of the
idea book on my website (click that gorgeous picture on the left), or you can attend my open house on the 18<sup>th</sup> and get a
copy for your very own (and see a bunch of stuff in person)!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you want to have the full extravaganza
experience (projects, gifts and prizes), it’s just $10 in advance to
attend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re okay with just coming
to browse and have a snack, that’s okay, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Either way, I need to know if you’re going to be here so PLEASE RSVP as
soon as you can!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Off to create some more!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Yes, they're from Adam's birthday which we just celebrated and, while his theme was Mickey and the Roadster Racers, it's really NOT Disney. Just goes to show the versatility of the paper :) <br />

The current idea books (annual and seasonal) are ending on
the 31<sup>st</sup>. Some items have already sold out but there are
plenty of others to grab before the new idea book starts September 1<sup>st</sup>.
If you’re looking to get some basics, get them now as most prices have gone up
a bit with the new book. Stamps, papers, inks…all going up and/or out!<o:p></o:p></div>

The deadline to RVSP and prepay $10 for my idea book launch
is September 3<sup>rd </sup>(earlier is even better). There will be
no exceptions for late signups this time as I need to order supplies for the
projects you’ll be making. I really hope to see everyone on the big day,
September 18<sup>th</sup>. Bring a friend and get a gift!<o:p></o:p></div>

I started with a milk crate under the dining room table and have graduated up to an entire room dedicated to my stash. While CTMH has provided us a few options for stamp storage over the years, I've always looked for something just a bit different. Well, I finally found it! Check out this awesome sliding basket set! The stamp envelopes are a perfect fit and it doesn't take up much room on my shelf. If you want to do the same, head on over to Bed, Bath and Beyond (don't forget your coupon!) and get organized!<br />
Smiles, Caron<br />
