May Club Layout

May's Layout was made using Dakota paper for the base page and Later SK8r, we used random stamping to color in the cricuted cog shapes.  

March Club Layout

This was using the "Always" paper pack and cranberry cardstock, plus the March Stamp of the Month for the roses.

February hostess club layout

This layout was made using a couple packs I had of bulk papers from Sonoma and Mayberry paper.  I love the way Close to My Heart's colors coordinate to make this possible.  I cricuted the title using Close to My Heart's art philosophy cartridge.  No stamping this time.  Maybe next month.  I did do some distressing on the colonial white base edges, hard to see in the picture. 

January hostess club layout

This was our club layout for January 2013.  I used Avonlea paper from Close to My Heart.  The title is stamped and the lacey round shape we did using heat embossing with silver embossing powder.
