Perfect Paper Pinwheels

It's been a long time since I played with pinwheels. I remember blowing on them til I thought I was going to pass out and swooshing them through the air to make them spin. You will not believe how easy it is to make pinwheels for your scrapbook pages or cards with the stamp set that comes with the Miracle WOTG kit. Just stamp, cut out, fold corners in and secure with a glue dot.   P.S. This is the same kit that comes with those amazing Kraft Color-Ready Borders demoed below. Visit scrappinwithphyllis.myctmh.com to order your kit.

My CTMH March Card Class

The girls are ready to make some "manly" cards and the Lucky WOTG has some great papers and embellishments for this project. You wouldn't think that orange (sunset) would go so well with the other colors but I think it looks fantastic.

Simply Scallops

Check out what you can do with our new CTMH Scallop Punch. Perfect 2 inch scalloped circles every time. And you can use the markings on the side of the punch to make a scalloped half-circle.

My CTMH February Card Class

Also from the Sweetheart WOTG kit, the top picture shows the Valentine's Day Cards my card-making group made for their family and friends. We used the CTMH Applique Pen and Sweetheart Epoxy Stickers to add texture and interest to our cards. The next picture is additional cards I made with paper from the same kit.... and I still have plenty of paper left.

My CTMH February Layout

This is the two-page layout I'm making this month from the CTMH Sweetheart WOTG kit. Now to find just the right pictures of my girls- hopefully all four of them!
P.S. The picture doesn't do the layout justice, it looks so much cuter in person!

Krafty, Kool & Kolorful!

Another cool new product coming out in our Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book. The borders are also included in our Miracles Workshop Kit.
