We hosted our semi-annual Idea Book Kick-Off Party tonight.

I have been very busy creating for our Kick-Off party and tonight I was so happy to see others get to take the items home and enjoy them.  Here is what I have been working on that I couldn't share until tonight.

 I made this bag using the Ariana Paper pack. I also added some paper from the Ivy Lane paper pack. It was so much fun to make.  

 I didn't get the little fox stamp of the month, so I made a punch art fox for the cupcake toppers.

 It's not an exact replica of the Wheel of Fortune, but we used this spinner to play the game.  The ladies all had fun.

This is just one of the 2 Hot Air Balloons that Dawn Tarina and I made last week.  They were so much fun.  The paper pack is called Ariana and I found a free SVG cut file on Google.  It has a little basket that I filled with candy and a ticket for 2 little gifts from a basket of stuff.  

 This Balloon was made using the Jubilee paper pack.  It has the feel of Fair time to me.  I didn't even get a finished pic of the Balloon.  I had little ropes hanging from the sides with banners in the middle where the ropes hang down.  A new lady joined our Meetup group and she won it tonight at the Idea Book kick off party.

Steve Painted the Balloons on my nails for me for the Party.

Last week I finally finished my Thank You cards for all the wonderful people who came to my party. This is one of  the cards. I made these three cards using the Skylark paper pack to make this is one of them.

 Charlie's Grandmother's birthday was the 25th of January and this is the card I sent to her. I used the Skylark paper on this one too.

 I decided to use the Dessert Sand in place of the Lagoon.  I really like how they turned out.

I made this card using the Laughing Lola paper pack and some SVG cut files that I found on the internet. I hope everyone liked their cards.

Happy Scrappin',

Are You Serious? Wow. Oh MY Word! Did You See This? OH MY!

Those were the first words that came out of my mouth.  I was sharing the new Spring Summer 2014 Idea Book with my Daughter Dawn, while my Son James was in the Kitchen making fun of me because I couldn't finish my sentences.  Every page I turned was another surprise.

This is the best Idea Book ever.  I LOVE all the papers and Stamps and the new Tool.  Yes I said Tool, I could be missing some thing but I only saw 1 super cool tool.  I have been asking Corp. to add these to the Idea Book for a while now.  I truly believe we need real texture and not just an implied texture.  I'll leave it at that.

So, I can show you the cover now, but that is about it.  I will have to wait to show you more.

If you want to get your very own Spring Summer 2014 Idea book early, place a $25.00 order with me or on my website, from the Autumn Winter 2013 Idea Book or the 2013 Holiday Gift Guide between now and January 31st and I will give you one for FREE.  Here is a link to my website janicewilson.ctmh.com.

You won't be disappointed, I assure you.

I will be placing my order on January 1st to get products for the Semi Annual Idea Book Kick Off Party Shannon and I are hosting January 29, 2014.  If you can you should try to be at this one.  We are going to have so much fun.  You can RSVP with me to reserve your spot early.  Bring all your friends and anyone you know who stamps, scrapbooks or makes any kind of paper crafts.

I might not be posting often for the next few weeks as I will be busy designing some party favors, prizes and mini albums.  I can't wait to get started.  Yahoo!!!

Happy Scrappin',
