Looking Ahead...June Stamp of the Month!

I thought you may all enjoy seeing this card a little early...so you can plan on purchasing this stamp set!  It coordinates with the Artiste cartridge so you can make a quick fast card!  Remember, it's a $17.95 value, and with a $50 purchase during the month of June 2013, it's only $5!

Love this stamp of the month because it looks great with or without coloring! The flowers above are from the stamp set; the large one has a Cricut to match.  It's an easy breezy card!  Cut a piece of patterned paper 1.25 x 5.5; cardstock 1.5 x 5.5; cut the flower and three leaves(Olive CS) on the Cricut.  Then cut a 3/4 x 12" piece of fabric, gather along one long edge and pull tight to form a circle.  Use Black ink to stamp Cricut cuts; Cotton Candy marker to color as desired; then assemble card as shown adding the additional stamping and buttons.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!

Here's the quick card that I made for my mom and MIL...I used these Close to My Heart products: Chantilly paper, Cotton Candy cardstock, Perfect Fit-Mom stamp set, retired flowers and clear circle, Artiste cartridge, Pink glitter Gems.  Other items:  MS punch, and unknown: ribbon, flower punch.  I think it only took me about 30 minutes to make the two cards...shhh...don't tell them!!!

MAY 2013 Join the DREAM POP FUN!

This layout is pretty close to the one that CTMH designed for Dream Pop workshop samples, I added a different title and changed a little of the paper...don't you LOVE the pinwheels which are the MAY Stamp of the Month???

Another layout designed by CTMH, again change up of title!  Journaling next to the owl about kayaking in MARCH will be added later!

For this layout, I grabbed two sheets of Creme Brulee cardstock to use as a  base.  First, a patterned paper was cut in half, then a 1.5" was cut off on one short end of each piece.  There was a scrap of Mint cardstock 8" wide and I cut two 3" pieces and two 1.5" pieces (you could use a 6" piece or 9" piece, whatever you have).  Notice two of the zip strips that are cut and added in.  Easy Breezy, huh?  Cut your pics, throw on some of those flowers you have laying around, a few leaves cut from that 8" scrap...should be able to do this one in 30 minutes, right?  In case you're wondering, the two circles are around 3", and the pics on the right side are 4" x 5". 

Another EASY one!  I cut the Mint border off of one sheet, and added to the top to give it a more cohesive look for a two page layout.  Double matted ONE picture, added scraps and cut up zip strips for the banners, arrows and captions, took advantage of the PRE-PRINTED title 'How Lovely' and added a computer printed finish,  another 30 minute layout!   BONUS:  there are TEN pictures on this layout!

Oh My!  How much fun is this paper?!?!?  Yours with a $35* Close to My Heart purchase, there are 12 sheets of patterned paper and 12 sheets of EMBOSSED cardstock with fun EXCLUSIVE colors!!!    Add some of the FUN shimmer trim, flowers or other great accessories for a $50 total purchase and you can add the Stamp of the Month for $5!

Now that it's Easter...

I'm finally taking the time to share the Christmas ornaments that I made for the Johnson Family Christmas Eve Party.  The initials on the ornaments are vinyl, cut with my Expressions and Gypsy.  The boxes are for the kids and they're M&M's!

Here's a close-up of what they looked like, and then the place setting.  LOL, no fine china here...Corelle is what you'll get!











Just for fun, not CTMH related, here is the garland that hubby and I made for the great room.
