Avonlea Thanks

One of my closest friends (and biggest supporter!), Jorie, asked me to make thank you cards for her.  Here's what I came up with:

They are sweet and simple.  I love the on-trend colors of Avonlea and know she will, too.

List of supplies used:
Colonial White Value Pack Cards (X1410)
Avonlea Bulk Paper (BULK255 for Consultants)
Chocolate Cardstock (X5643)
Colonial White Cardstock (1388)
Cricut Artiste, for shapes, (Z1790)
Chocolate Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (Z2111)
Bulk Chocolate Grosgrain Ribbon (retired)

Happy Columbus Day, everyone!

Avonlea Mini Album Winner

I felt a little guilty about changing the original "rules" of my Avonlea Mini Album giveaway to include commenters and facebook likers (word?).  So, I decided to give away TWO Mini Albums!

Here's a pic of the hat with all the little names on it:

And the winners of the Avonlea Mini Albums are...

Audrey C and Mosmojo

Avonlea Purse and Mini Cards

My Open House and Craft Sale is tomorrow night!  I'm so excited!  In addition to enjoying conversation, snacks, drinks and artwork, guests will be making these gorgeous (yet simple!) projects.  Thanks to my friend, Melissa Laverty, for the inspiration!

I'll post instructions and supplies used after the Open House.  If you can't wait, then come tomorrow night from 5-10 p.m. to mi casa in Leesburg, VA.  Give me a shout at michellejonesva@yahoo.com if you need an address!

Avonlea Mini Album

Check out this beautiful little mini album.  It features the gorgeous Avonlea paper pack (with a few pieces of Scholastic) and some wonderful new ribbons from CTMH. 

This album comes together so quickly and is really reasonably priced.  It's a new Dimensional Element, Album Pages (Z1791), and coordinates with the new Cricut Artiste Cartridge (Z1790).  There are six pages, front and back.  Take a look at a few of the interior pages:

If you're a Close To My Heart fan, you'll notice lots of new embellishments on this mini album: Slate Satin Polka Dot Ribbon, Silver Shimmer Trim (the back is adhesive!), Just Blooms Floret Paper Shapes and the Irrisistibles Houndstooth Alphabet (the ME on the front page).
