Oh paper purse, how I love thee!

This is my first attempt at a paper purse!

At team training Saturday, one of my fellow consultants, Renee Pileggi, brought a few purses that she had created and used as prize bags for her open house the night before.  It was love at first sight!!  And she said they were easy enough to make...maybe for her, but I wasn't so sure!  Thank goodness for the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, it made it soooooo easy!  It cut the purse (bag) shape, as well as the flap shape.  A little adhesive, some bling, and VOILA!!  I'm going to make it into a workshop, along with a couple of the 3D milk cartons, and see what everyone comes up with for uses!  The purses are the perfect size for a few candies, a gift card, a thank you card, or other small treasures.  Until next week, happy creating!!

Perpetual calendar

One of my fellow consultants showed me a pic of a perpetual calendar at our last training session in January, she was going to send us the instructions, but I couldn't wait to create it.  So I set down with my girly Roxie paper pack, the collage cubes, and my Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, and this is what I came up with!  It was originally only going to be given as a door prize for the New catalog BINGO game, but I had requests for a workshop with it...so ask, and you shall receive!

February 24th, 6:30pm here at my house, for $25 you too can create this calendar that will last for years to come!  You need to reserve your spot no later than Sunday, February 5th, so that I can order the supplies and get everything cut and ready for you!  Respond to this post, or send me an email at rhonda@jcrackington.com if you are interested!

ZUMBA

I have a zumba friend, that is making a zumba album for another friend, so I volunteered to make one layout to help with this.  What better way to combine two of my true loves...scrapbooking and zumba!  I gave her the layout the other night, and then decided it was a good thing I took a picture of it, because I NEEDed one of those for myself as well!  Came home from zumba and made another one for me!
Enjoy! 
PS... I used my zumba bracelet to help me freehand that funky little symbol on the pink circle...an artist I am not, but it will do for now! : )
