Quick and Simple Birthday Card

Do you have children in school? Do they get invited to Birthday parties? Do you always wait until the last moment to make a Birthday card? I know I do. Here is a quick and simple card that another consultant came up with.

Here is what you need:

1. Go out and purchase an inexpensive Value Pack of cards and envelopes.

2. Cute Birthday stamp set that has everything you need. (I used CTMH Good Times set)

3. Just one stamp pad (I used CTMH Chocolate)

4. Scraps of cardstock

5. Quickie Glue Pen (for glitter)

6. Glitter

Once you have all your supplies together pick a quite afternoon to sit down and make 10 or so cards. I stamped all my cupcakes on white cardstock, cut them out, applied glue and glitter. I then stamped my saying directly on my card leaving space for my cardstock. I then cut different colors of scrap cardstock to the appropriate size of my stamp. Adhere those on my card, then pop doted my cupcakes and placed them on top of colored cardstock. DONE.

Now I have 10 Birthday cards ready to go for when my children have a party to go to. So grab your supplies and make up some quick birthday cards of your very own!

Color Me Monday #4

Close To My Heart's founder, Jeanette Lynton's, has began a Color Me Monday posts on her blog. She loves colors and wants to share her color passion with all of us. Each Monday she will share a new color combination in our wonderful exclusive Close To My Heart colors. I am going to try very hard to create my own artwork using Jeanette's color inspiration.

This weeks colors are: Petal, Pansy Purple, White Daisy and New England Ivy

Over the Top Layout and At the Park Page

I am really tryig to get some scrapbooking done and have decided to stock up on Close To My Heart's My Reflections Level 1 Kits. These kits are great!! They come with 4 preprinted pages, 2 B&T Duos, 2 sheets of cardstock and 2 sheets of My Stickease. Everything you need to complete 4 layouts with extra stuff leftover to create 1 to 2 more!!

The top layout is using the NEW Back Country Level 1 Kit. This worked great for our trip to Durango, CO in 2007. The page on the bottom is using the NEW Tinkerin' kit. This is also from our Durango, CO trip. We stopped at a park and couldn't wait to get Tinkerin' because it matched so perfectly.

Come and see what CTMH Level 1 Kits can do for you and your scrapbooking needs!!

Time for Tea Layout

Here is a cute layout that I did yesterday. This is a pretty simple layout using only Close To My Heart's My Reflections Paper Packet, My Stickease and a bit of ribbon. I loved how it tured out and my pictures worked great with the paper.

Happy Mother's Day!!

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all,
I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.
