Layouts & Cards

FINALLY! I finally got pictures taken of my layouts and cards from my last two classes! Geez Louise, I'm getting behind. So, the last two Crop & Card Club events were totally awesome! In June, our theme was 4th of July, to get a jump on the holiday. That way, if you wanted to scrap your holiday pics your layout was already done! Smart thinkin' huh? We used the "Blue Ribbon" Level 2 paper pack and the "Vintage USA" stamp set. The layout turned out too cute. The cards from the Card Club were really unique as well. If you want to see each individual card, check them out on my CTMH website. While you're there, order the supplies you need to make those projects! http://buttonsnbrags.myctmh.com

June's Crop and Card Club projects were gorgeous, to say the least. The layout turned out really pretty. We used the "That's Amore" Level 2 paper pack and the "Buttoned Together" stamp set. The theme was "Friendship". I love putting buttons on my projects, so the stamp set was an asset to this project. The cards were absolutely adorable! Who would imagine making round cards?! The one that looks like a matchbook I actually turned into a mini-album. I couldn't bear to see it be just a card. It was too cute a pattern. Again, check out my CTMH website for individual pics and if you want the "recipes", contact me. I'll be too happy to get them to ya!

Fall Scrapbooking Retreat

I love Fall! The leaves start changing, the weather cools off, the leaves start changing...did I mention that? I love it! And with the changing of the seasons a friend of mine and I have decided to plan a Scrapbooking Retreat! How fun is that going to be!

Sometime in November, before the holidays get underway, we thought it would be fun to prepare ourselves by getting together with some friends and cropping ourselves silly! It's just in the planning stages right now, but if you're interested in getting away for the weekend with some scrappin' friends and having a load of fun, you'll love the fall retreat!

As we get closer to setting the date, I'll keep you posted on what's going on and how you can register. And if you're one of my clients or friends, look for your invitation! I can't wait!!

Welcome!!

Welcome to the Buttons n Brags blogspot! My business name is Buttons n Brags because whenever I create a scrapbook layout or greeting card, I like to try to incorporate a button in it somewhere...then, I like to brag on it (usually on the people in the pictures I've put on my layouts)! Oh, I'm not conceited in any way. I just love creating beautiful artwork and sharing it with my friends. I love to teach classes on how to create these layouts and cards as well. Hi, my name is Shelley Wilburn and I am an Independent Scrapbooking/Card Making Consultant with Close To My Heart.

I love what I do! I've always loved doing crafts in some form or another. I have taught crafting classes in the past, but until I started scrapping and stamping, I didn't know how much fun I was missing out on! Close To My Heart is the leading scrapbooking/stamping company in the industry. They have been in business for 25 years making them second to none. Being an independent consultant gives me the freedom I need to be who I want to be in this company and take my business to whatever level I choose to take it.

I hope you'll come and visit me here often. It may take me a little time to get things organized, but I hope to have some artwork available for you to see soon. Also, check out my website at http://buttonsnbrags.myctmh.com/ and take a look around there. I have an online store that's full of great deals that you can't find anywhere. You will also find an online catalog available there that you can browse through. If you see something you like, you can purchase anything from my store or catalog using your credit or debit card. Payments are accepted through Pro Pay. It is safe and secure, so don't be scared to shop till you drop!!

If you're looking for job opportunites, check out the opportunities available through my website. I would love to have you on my team! I'm always looking for new friends and new ideas. If you've got fresh ideas, want to make new friends, want to earn some extra $$, then you're my kind of teammate! Contact me through the website, or here and we'll set up a consultation! I'd love to meet you!

Scrappingly yours...
