Stamp Club projects

In the most recent exchange with some other CTMH consultants, I adored a few cards from the swap and shared them, slightly altered with the stamp club ladies... Original Credit goes to Cute Cards By Jamie & Carrie McWherter. Then you will see our NOVEMBER Event Calendar block and a sneak peek at the month of AUGUST we had not done yet!

Halloween Origami!

Some how I managed to skip September all together but here I am with mid-October!

Wanted to share a little Halloween design - this is a 12" origami wreath made by my dear friend Jen C.
She is quite talented and made this adorable fun decoration!
Our stamp club learned the origami wreath technique and has gone wild making all different ones.
Jen just showed me paper for her Thanksgiving and TWO Christmas ones she is also making for gifts!!
