My recent garage sale was a huge success and I cleared out tons of stuff - but my hoarding problem is bigger than I thought - - I still have stuff left! I've been posting on the items on Facebook as I have time to photograph & upload them - so be sure to check that out. Check in my photo albums - the albums called "Clearance Sale - Batches #1, 2 & 3"!! Everything from stamps to paper to embellishments, tools and more!<br />

I know not everyone mails cards anymore for the holidays - but I still do! Despite the outrageous cost of postage - I just love the tradition of it and look forward to the weeks before the Christmas when we open the mailbox each day to find news from our friends and family afar! Even if you don't send out mass quantities of holiday cards - I encourage you to send handwritten greetings to at least a few very special people - it means so much more than an email!!<br />
<br />
So with that in mind, I wanted to give you some great options for beautiful & easy holiday cards. I know some of you design your own cards & that is great - but I get tons of queries every year about 'kits' as a lot of people just don't have the time during this busy season to create multiple cards from scratch. So here are my top recommendations this year:<br />
<br />

Each Cut Above card kit contains the materials for you to make 10 cards (5"x7" size!!). Embellishments include glitter trims and papers, twine, die-cut shapes, foam tape, etc. I love these cards and they literally come together in MINUTES!!!! So easy & so cute! One stamp set gives you four different holiday greetings to choose from in gorgeous, trendy font styles. As the cards are 5"x7" size you can easily fit a photo inside your card/envelope to send with your greetings. Buy the one stamp set & then as many multiples of the card kit as you need depending on how many cards you plan to send out this year. <br />

Here are the cute cards I did last year:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Each Studio J layout is two 12x12 sheets (high quality photo printing!). My cards were 5"x7" size - so I was able to fit four per sheet or 8 cards per 'layout'. If your cards were smaller - you could obviously fit more. <br />
<br />
Until November 30th - you can order Studio J layouts for $5 (plus tax & shipping). That's only $0.63 for each 5"x7" photo card! (After November 30th - regular pricing applies - $7.75 Cdn per each 2 page layout or $0.97 per card).<br />
<br />
Need envelopes for your photo cards!?!? You can order those <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6136" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Hope that gives you some ideas!! Not too late to add a little 'handmade' to your holidays this year!! W</b><b>ith every order placed either online at my <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/" target="_blank">WEBSITE</a> or via <a href="mailto:csironside@shaw.ca" target="_blank">email</a> by November 30th - you'll be entered into my draw for a $25 CTMH gift certificate.

<br />
Here is how-to make your own:<br />
Each Studio J layout is two 12x12 sheets (high quality photo printing!). My cards are 5"x7" size - so I was able to fit four per sheet or 8 cards per 'layout'. If your cards were smaller - you could obviously fit more. <br />
<br />
1) Go to my website <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/">carlaironside.ctmh.com</a> & click on "Products" then "<a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/ctmh/products/studioj.aspx" target="_blank">Studio J Online Scrapbooking</a>". <br />
<br />
2) Click "Enter Now" and either login or create a new account if your are a new user.<br />
<br />
3) On the welcome screen, click "Create a New Project" & then name your project when prompted.<br />
<br />
4) Click the uploading button to select the photo(s) you want to add to your holiday cards.<br />
<br />
5) Then select "Create your own Custom Layout".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6) You'll now be asked to select your paper kit. At the top you can choose to filter the kits - select "Holiday". Then select which paper collection you'd like to use on your cards. The one I used above is called "Sparkle & Shine". Others I would recommend are Snowhaven, Pear & Partridge, Mistletoe, Jingle, Believe, Evensong, Frosted . . . so many great choices. (To select it, either double click on it or click once on it and then click "Continue" at the bottom).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIboCogcZTn-MtGvRvu3-t4AG03-E_kX8zW_dP5qGF8EB2bp7uaZEP7Nb4E_I3WuW6ZfzNQ6uN-Hj1C1dWRl3qWgYheGrw2SjolFs7fyzjD0y5JZKk7gRRZ0cmoYRK3CvFgLogSf4DCxA/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-11-14+at+11.03.46+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIboCogcZTn-MtGvRvu3-t4AG03-E_kX8zW_dP5qGF8EB2bp7uaZEP7Nb4E_I3WuW6ZfzNQ6uN-Hj1C1dWRl3qWgYheGrw2SjolFs7fyzjD0y5JZKk7gRRZ0cmoYRK3CvFgLogSf4DCxA/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-11-14+at+11.03.46+AM.png" height="400" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
7) You'll now be asked to choose the layout pattern - select the "NO LIMITS" pattern.<br />
<br />
8) Select a Kit Mix - - these are blank for the "No Limits" pattern - so it doesn't matter here whether you choose 1,2, or 3. Just pick one and continue.<br />
<br />
9) Now you have a blank canvas to start creating your cards. On the left select "Text & Photo Areas". Then drag the "Journaling Area" box onto your blank layout. An editing box will appear. In the editing box - size your card (my cards are 5"x7" - so that is the size I input in the boxes). <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Click on the text in the journaling box to highlight it and press your space bar to delete it. <br />
Drag the journaling box to place it flush with one of the corners of your layout. Click on the "Copy" and "Paste" buttons at the top. This will create another identical journaling box. Drag it to another corner of the layout to place it. Repeat for all of your horizontally placed cards (see above - there are 4 horizontal & 4 vertical). To create the vertical ones - click Copy & Paste again then use the rotation tool (round arrow on corner of box) to turn the box sideways & place as needed. <br />

<br />
When you have all 8 journaling boxes (cards) created - your layout will look like this - with two small unused squares of space in the centre of each layout.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiykusKV5cpFsFWE6xqoQtwSZfp0pfQSTUvYAAIC_1g1PwNN0PE5PLf_t-bBkUOFJMcPNEPRqa7rM8RFw8H6CQgEv6UvVG8Jv4rIcqOvEnXnT2DYa0fMUMbCw8oRiStheB2TDa3iuL0uxE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-11-14+at+11.19.41+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiykusKV5cpFsFWE6xqoQtwSZfp0pfQSTUvYAAIC_1g1PwNN0PE5PLf_t-bBkUOFJMcPNEPRqa7rM8RFw8H6CQgEv6UvVG8Jv4rIcqOvEnXnT2DYa0fMUMbCw8oRiStheB2TDa3iuL0uxE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-11-14+at+11.19.41+AM.png" height="400" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
10) Next click on the paper tab on the left. Select any of the papers shown and drag and drop to fill the background of your cards.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
11) Now is time to add your photo boxes. On the left click on "Text & Photo Areas". For each card, drag the "Photo Area" box wherever you want to place your photo. You can use the editing box as needed to size the photo area, add a photo mat, choose photo mat colour, etc. I used 3.5" x 5" photo areas with 1/8" photo mats. (Once you've done the first photo area - you can copy and paste using the top buttons to create your remaining photo areas and just drag/rotate onto the cards as needed). <br />

<br />
12) Now select "Photos" on the left and drag and drop your photos onto the photo areas on each card. <br />
<br />
13) Now is time to decorate your cards. Select either embellishments (buttons, ribbons, etc.) or My Stickease on the left. Use the drop down menu to select the type of embellishment. You can drag/drop, resize, rotate all embellishments as needed to customize your cards. You can also find holiday quotes and tags in the Stickease section that you may wish to use to add greetings to your cards.<br />

<br />
14) To add a custom greeting or your family name, etc. to the cards. Select "Text & Photo Areas" on the left. Then drag the "Journaling Area" box onto your first card. Size your journal box as needed (mine is 1" x 2.5"). You can edit the text, change the background, add a mat, change the font, etc. as needed. Make sure that the 'scale font' box is checked so that your text fits inside the box.

CTMH's Picture My Life line is this company's answer to the 'pocket scrapbooking, aka. Project Life' trend. I love that using these great cards (4x6 and 3x4) - I'm getting way more pictures into my albums faster. I combine my traditional scrapbook pages with my 'pocket pages' in the same albums (all of my albums are organized by theme). On this page - I used a pocket scrapbooking concept, but made a traditional page (i.e. I'm not using a divided page protector - but a regular old 12x12 page). I used the <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8010" target="_blank">Wanderful Picture My Life kit</a> from CTMH (one 4x6 card and one 3x4 card) and then accented the page using a strip of paper from the <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7957" target="_blank">Wanderful 12x12 paper collection</a>.</div>

This month we are featuring the stamp set "What a Hoot". </b><br />
<br />
Hope you'll join us this month - we have CTMH consultants from across the US and Canada who have created some great projects for you featuring this month's stamp set. The variety of ideas are sure to leave you feeling creatively inspired!<br />
<br />
If you've come here from<b> <a href="http://www.stampingrules.com/2014/07/august-stamp-of-month-blog-hop.html" target="">Wendy Coffman's Blog</a></b>, then you are on the right path. If my blog is your first stop, that will work too! Just keep hopping until you get back here again! You'll find a link at the end of each post to move to the next site. Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
My creation for this month's blog hop is a birthday card - something I can always use at my house. With two school-aged kids, it seems like there is a birthday party every week to attend! <br />

I've been making a concentrated effort lately to get back to basics. Keeping my scrapbook pages simple means that more layouts are in my albums where my family can enjoy them . . . which is really the whole point of doing it, right? (In addition to the enjoyment I get just from the process!) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This great design is easy to recreate - simply cut two strips from each of three different patterned papers (a different width for each of the patterns) - spread across your two pages leaving a small space in between each. Add your matted photos, title, embellies, journalling . . . and you have yourself a finished layout! </div>

The Skylark collection is by far my favourite kit in the CTMH Spring/Summer Idea Book - I have used it on dozens of projects. I plan to share a few more of them here on the blog before this kit is retired July 31st! Be sure to order Skylark before then if you want to get this collection before it is gone. I find the colours are perfect for a variety of photos - but in particular outdoor photos. This layout is one I put together for our Europe scrapbook (The photo/trip dates back to 2006! The Europe scrapbook is a continuous work in progress!) The location in the photo was one of the highlights for me of our touring of the French countryside - an amazing town built into the side of a cliff. Absolutely breathtaking! </div>

</div>
As is tradition, I made little gift bags for my team members, roomie, and special friends at CTMH's recent convention. Gift bags were filled with various Convention survival goodies and I also made each person one of these little bag tags for their Convention bags. One side of the tag is their initial (it is helpful to be able to identify which bag is yours when all 1000+ consultants have the same bag!), the other was a printable quote I found online. Paper is <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7654" target="_blank">Jubilee</a>, stamp set is <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7475&ci=516" target="_blank">Framework Alphabet</a>. I laminated & then decorated the jump ring with some retired CTMH ribbon from my stash.<br />
<br />
You could easily make something similar as a little gift idea (i.e. luggage tag, backpack tag for your kids, etc.). <br />

What a great week in Anaheim for this year's CTMH Convention! So much fun, as always! I've had a week to process all the information and ideas & my head is still spinning! So much creative inspiration. As most of my blog readers know - I have had a bit of a creative hiatus this spring while recovering from major surgery . . . well, Convention was exactly what I was needed to get the creative juices flowing again. So - watch for new artwork very soon. In the meantime - here are a few random photo highlights from Disneyland:</div>

You'll have to be patient - it is not released to customers until August 1st! But let me promise you - it is worth the wait :-)<br />
<br />
In the meantime - be sure to stop by my website and check out the list of <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=18" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">RETIRING ITEMS</span></a> - these goodies are all going away forever July 31st (<b>or while supplies last</b>) - so get them before they are gone! <br />

It's been a while!! I'm hanging out in Disneyland this week for CTMH's annual convention & can't wait to share all the excitement! I just spent four perfect days in the theme parks with my family - today is a day of rest, lol - and then looking forward to 4 great days of CTMH fun & excitement! Watch my twitter feed for the most up to date news @carlacreates and I'll try to post daily updates here on the blog and on my FB page 'Carla Creates with CTMH'. </span><br />

My last one as a design team member (at least for a little while). I've decided to take a break from the responsibilities of a design team. My real life has been interfering with my crafty life for a while now and I was having trouble keeping up to deadlines, etc. So for the time being - I'll just be creating for me - and that is OK too!! I have absolutely loved being a part of the <a href="http://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Let's Get Sketchy</a> team - it is a great group of girls and Brenshevia is fantastic to 'work' for! I hope to return there at some point when I get my life back in order :-) I do love their sketches so I'll be playing along as a participant when I can in the meantime! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And now for the sketch & my page. This layout I'm sharing features the super fun <a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/ctmh/promotions/campaigns/1405-nsm.aspx" target="_blank">Free to Be Me collection</a> from CTMH. This fun kit is available only until May 31st!! Just $5 for the whole kit with purchases of $50 or more during May! (<a href="http://carlaironside.ctmh.com/retail/category.aspx" target="_blank">Run - get yours now before it's gone</a>!)</div>
