Hello

This is a cute little 3x3 card that can be used for just a quick note or gift tag.  The baby cakes paper pack isn't just for baby projects.  It works great in this project as well.

The Holiday gift guide from Close To My Heart is available on my website.  Check out the new products available starting today.  Many items are while supplies last.  Also, earn a free item when you spend $100.  See my website for details.

Coloring can be very therapeutic

CTMH now has alcohol markers similar to Copic markers.  So I decided to start buying them a couple at a time to play with.  And I forget everything going on around me while I color!  so relaxing.

The stamp set was a stamp of the month so now it is retired.  But I had fun coloring in the peaches.  The markers give a realistic look when you layer on colors.  In contrast, the green leaves are not alcohol based markers.  I am going to have fun with these new markers.

Merry Christmas in... September?

I wanted to play with my new CTMH Artbooking cartridge today and decided to start with trying out Christmas cards.  I love how it turned out and I think that I am going to try a scrapbook layout soon.  The kids aren't letting me do much crafting lately (baby climbing up the stairs and emptying everything in sight) and I really miss it.  So, I don't know when I will get to the layout but it's on the to do list ;).  I do have a couple of more cards to share this week if I can get them finished up during nap time.  Wish me luck.

Check out the CTMH Artbooking handbook here.  And then shop with ME.

Goodbye Summer

Since the weather here is going to make a drastic turn, I decided to try out this snowman card to remember that things could be worse than 60 degrees.  This is not my original design.  I copied it from someone at some point but I don't remember who or when.  The circles and snowflake background are cut from the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.  I think this is so cute that I just had to share my version of it.  Stay warm my friends.

A touch of class.

Purple is my favorite color so I loved the Laughing Lola paper pack from Close To My Heart.  I haven't figured out how to use it for masculine cards but the paper sure makes pretty girly cards.  There is also a workshop on the go kit to make cards from this set.  I haven't tried it yet but maybe on my next order.  My wish list is too long!  I only wish I had more time to work on the ideas that I have in my head.

It's National Stamping Month!  Who would have thought huh?  But anything for a great excuse for a deal.  Get a triple stamp set with a $50 purchase.

Hugs!

The pattern for this card is in the Make It From Your Heart Vol 1 book from Close To My Heart.  I love this how to book because it has scrapbook layouts and card layouts and is inexpensive.  The paper is from the Chantilly paper pack.  Also one of of my favorites.  I think that I am going to have to stock up on these paper packs by the end of the year before they retire ;)

Happy Crafting
