Studio J time -- I love you!

I LOVE Studio J....while my kids played Monopoly and colored at my feet I could totally be "in the moment" with them and be chatting with them the whole time.  I could be sitting and "enjoying" the Tour de France finish with my hubby lol at the same time all the while I could scrapbook Studio J style!  Thanks CTMH for providing me the best of both worlds!!!!!  Heatherplotzke.ctmh.com  Best yet, this month its only $5 for every 2 page layout!!!!! Yahoooooo

United We Stand wood projects

I bought this wood cut out from Wood Creations Crafts to make for the 4th and just hadn't gotten a chance too. With all the sad things going on around the nation lately it made me stop and reflect so when I had some time to craft I made this my 1st project!

United We Stand!

The Statue of Liberty is 2 different colors of CTMH'S glitters, I love how she turned out.   I mirrored the effect by using out glitter gel on the U & D, and our glitter tapes on the word block below.  So easy!

Close To My Heart: Life is worth...

The reason why I do what I do...and why I want you to join me in the experience.  Heatherplotzke.ctmh.com

Umbrella wreath

Look what $3 and some hot glue can get you.  I took a foam board and cut it to a circle  shape, poking the umbrellas right into place.  When everything was set I hot glued them down and then cut off sticks.  I had planned on blinging  it up a bit but my family out voted me and hung it up as is lol!

What do you think?

Happy Independence Day America

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!

USA Wood display

Wanted to share my latest wood display I made...I love getting paper crafty with a mix of wood thrown in.  The picture doesn't show it well but the paper on the "U" has all the signatures from The Declaration of Independence in gold and the paper on the "A" actually HAS The Declaration of Independence on it!  I love it. The button from the "S", is even a spare from my hubby's uniform (shhhh don't tell him wink wink)!
