Birthday Card

Here is a birthday card I made for my bosses daughter. The flower stamp and sentiment are CTMH. The flower patterned paper is from a DCWV stack (I think) and the green polka dot paper is Bo Bunny.

National Stamping Month

September is National Stamping month. To celebrate, Close to My Heart has created a great kit to give you three times the fun! Included in this Triple Play mini album kit is an exclusive stamp set, mini inks and enough paper and embellishments to make 3 cute mini albums. You can get this cute little kit in a variety of ways:
1) Purchase the kit outright for $29.95 (CC1010).
2) Place a minimum order of $25 in My Acrylix stamps (excluding Stamp of the Month sets, Workshops on the Go exclusive stamp sets, and K-size custom stamps) and purchase the kit for only $15 (CC1010A).
3) Place a minimum order of $40 in My Acrylix stamps (excluding Stamp of the Month sets, Workshops on the Go exclusive stamp sets, and K-size custom stamps) and purchase the kit for only $5/$5 (CC1010B).
4) Host a home gathering and get the Triple Play mini album kit free with party sales of $300 or more.
5) Sign up under me to become a CTMH consultant and the Triple Play mini album kit will be included free of charge in your consultant kit.

The Triple Play mini album kit is available through September 30, 2010, while supplies last. Be sure to get yours today.

Graduation Card

We had a late graduation party to go to a couple of weeks ago. Here is the card I made. Hope you like it.

$2, $4, $6 for 8, It's YOU We Appreciate!!

In honor of our wonderful customers, Close To My Heart and I want to show our appreciation. So for 8 days only, there is going to be a BLOW OUT sale on my website for select Stickease Stickers ($2), Level One Paper Packs ($4) and Level Two Paper Packs ($6). This sale will start on August 4, 9am MST (11am Central) and will run through midnight (MST) on August 11.

The items in this sale will all be 'while supplies last' so make sure to order your favorites early for best selection. This is a great bargain and a great way to stock up on your favorites. Also, most of these items will be retired at the end of the year, so now is definitely the time to stock up.

You can only get these great deals from my website. Because this is such a great sale, sometimes CTMH servers will get bogged down due to the high traffic. One way to avoid some of this is to set up an account on my website ahead of time, if you haven't already done so. This will help when you check out. I have included a list of the items that will be on sale at the bottom of this message. Another time-saver may be to make your wish list ahead of time. Many of these items will sell out quickly, so be sure to order as early as you can.

Any purchase you make will also go toward our adorable Stamp of the Month "Something Splendid". You can also order all regular priced items at the same time so this is the time to stock up online and save big.

Make Your Own Background Paper

I watched a class from Tresa Black (LOVE HER!!) She teaches the most amazing techniques. Check out her blog here. She taught a class where she made all of her own background paper using stamps and inks. I thought I'd give it a shot.

Here is the paper that I made. I started with a piece of colonial white cardstock.


Here is the layout that I made from that paper. I also stamped a background onto the green and pink cardstock.
