September Club Layout

Here is this month's club layout. We used the new Perfect Day Paper Packet to create a beautiful layout. I have decided to use this paper for my Wedding pictures. I am SO happy that I have finally found (after 8 years of marriage) the perfect paper!! As and extra to the layout I have added the scroll rub-on from the Love Letters Rub-On's. Now all I need to add is the title. LOL!

Roller Skate Thank You Card

Here is a simple but cute Thank You card that I am working on for a custom order. I first stamped Thanks on the lower right-hand corner of the card, then used my Cuttlebug to emboss the the front of the card, then stamped a roller skate on a piece of white cardstock, added some touches of pink with a gel pen and matted that with pink and black carstock. Adhered it all down on the card and your done!!

PRODUCTS USED: cardstock and "Thanks" stamp by Close To My Heart, Gel pen by Gelly Roll, roller skate stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps

Another Roller Skate Invitation

WOW! I haven't posted in a while. There is a good reason, promise. I have been very busy with school, kids, Girl Scouts, and creating 40 Roller Skate invitations for a custom order. I really LOVED how this one turned out! I told my customer that I think hers turned out better than my original. It's amazing how just changing the colors changes the whole mood of the invitation. Hope you like it!!

For this card I use:

Flower Power (retired CTMH paper)

Vellum (CTMH)

Bazzill Bling in Purple, Orange & Black (not sure of the exact color names)

Ribbon- (American Crafts)

Cotton Candy Stickles (on the toe stopper)

Votive Candle Card

Here is a cute and easy gift to make for anyone that loves candles. I used the new Magic Moments Paper Packet from the Fall/Winter Idea Book, the September Stamp of the Month - Treasure Life, vellum, Big Pinks Flower and a button. I loved how it turned out.

Treasure Life Card

Here is a little sneak peek of a few new items from Close To My Heart. I used the NEW Originals Card Confidence Program and created the Pocket Card using the NEW Magic Moments Paper Packet, the September Stamp Of The Month - Treasure Life. This card is for an upcoming Home Gather. I think everyone will that attends the Home Gather will enjoy making this card.

Celebrating 7 Years with Close To My Heart!!

I can't believe it has already been 7 years with Close To My Heart!! Where does the time go? I remember the day I decided to sign up to become a consultant. I was so excited and even more excited when my Consultant Kit showed up on my door step! So much has changed since the day I became a consultant 7 years ago. Our logo changed, our stamps changed from wood to acrylic, our Idea Books got smaller and now come out 3 times a year rather than once a year and our products keep getting better and better with each new Idea Book!! Today, I am still excited to be with Close To My Heart and hope that all of you will celebrate with me in my journey with such a great company.

Roller Skate Template

I have had such a huge response on my Roller Skate Invitation and template that I have now made the template available on my blog. Enjoy making those roller skate invitations!! I would love to see what everyone comes up with!!

NEW Scrapbook Room Pictures!!

OK, you have asked for it and here they are!! Pictures of my newly re-done scrapbook room!! I still have not finished putting everything away but this will show you what I have done to my room so far. I hope you like it and welcome your comments!!

Cuttlebug Tin

Here is a cute lunch tin that I altered with some old Close To My Heart paper, ribbon from a local craft store, Close To My Heart's Big Pinks flowers and a little glitter to add some bling. Since my room is Brown and Pink this matches perfectly and is functional as well. This lunch tin holds my Cuttlebug embossing folders and dies (well for now).
