Sticky Boy came to visit

I was so very excited to open a card that was sent to me from my upline- Brae. There was a lovely note inside and a very special little friend! Stick Boy! There is a whole story behind Sticky Boy, which you can find here, and he has his own Facebook page which you can find here.



So as you can all imagine we set to work and did some creating together!
He had some friends over...


From the new Love Ya Silly stamp set from the new Seasonal Expressions Idea Book.
Then just right before Christmas his cousin Ginger stopped by for some fun & games!



They got into the ShinHan Touch Twin markers and the new Puffies,  Stuck On You.  They made a bit of a mess but they had so much fun! 
ENJOY! Chris

This was a super fun project to work on- it all started because of the chocolate - as do most good ideas. I spotted these Ghirardelli chocolates at Costco and knew I had to find a use for them. Then came the Designed Decor Red Magnetic Chalkboard. I set the chocolates down on the board and played around with them until I figure out what I wanted to create. (there were lots of other thing I should have been doing at that point.) But the end result was an Advent calendar.


The "case" for the chocolate is from the Cricut Artise Collection. It is a mini book cover but I took out the hole in Cricut Craft Room. The full recipe for the project is posted at the bottom. 


Here are the close up pictures.

I hope you have enjoyed this stop on the Christmas Decor Blog Hop! Chris

Exciting news for Scrapper's Club

I have some exciting news to share about Scrapper's Club... 

Scrapper's Club is a monthly group that I run. We met once a month and the attendees create two layouts that I have designed and set up as a kit for them. It is a wonderful way to speed through some scrapbooking without having to do too much pre-planning. I take care of that for them. This is one of the most enjoyable clubs that I plan. It is wonderful to watch people get pushed outside of the typical page that they create. Now that I have explained what it is...here is the exciting part. For the month of January and February I have decided to open up Scrapper's Club to non-members. 

I still have supplies that I can still create kits for the past eight months worth of Scrapper's Club selections. If you are interested in seeing the past 24 kits I am still able to put together feel free to send me a quick email at crbb@mts.net and we will get the ball rolling. Here is a sneak peak...
All kits are $12/ea and designed with Close to My Heart products and come with a full set of instructions. Hope you take advantage of this offer. For more information on the products I use you can check them out on my shopping website at www.chrisrobertson.ctmh.com

Enjoy! Chris
