Operation Smile for January

When you purchase the fun stamp set Animal Greetings D1679 for $17.95 Close To My Heart will donate $7.00 to Operation Smile.  It is a two- fer.  You get a great stamp set and Operation Smile gets to help out more kids in need.  

Here is a card I made with Animal Greetings D1679.  Not a very good photo but the little pig is stamped randomly in sorbet and the Champagne cardstock then I cut strips from one of the papers from the Charlotte paper pack and the zip strip is from the same paper.   This is a great use for scraps too.  I cut out 2 circles from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and popped them both up with 3-D Foam tape and place it all on a Daisy White Card.  

Did you notice how in the picture of the stamp set the sayings are straight.  Did you know the you can bend them to the shape you want (most of the shapes) Take a look at this video and see how it is done!

October Card Swap

October is a fun month for our card swap because we always do a fun Halloween card.  So here is what I did.

I used the Artfully Sent cartridge to cut the Birch Trees with and then I used Art Philosophy to cut the background for the Happy Halloween.  I did a search for the bats and the crow but I think they were from Happy Haunting.
The Happy Halloween is from the stamp set Steampunk Scoundrels B1503.
I actually cut everything out of Daisy White cardstock.  I then sponged the colors I wanted I also used my ShinHan Alcohol markers to get the look I wanted.  I used Wink Of Stella Clear over the moon to get some sparkle.  I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the other cards this month because I gave them all out already to the Ladies at my luncheon that was the next day.  OOPS!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Getting ready for Halloween

I love Halloween, I love the colors, and Fall, I really love Fall.
Last weekend a group of CTMH consultants and I got together and put this cute Halloween Mini Album.  Lori Scott was the leader on this one.  We had a great time, and as usual lots of laughs.
We are all teaching it as a class with our customers.  So if you would like to make one just let me know.  I am doing a class for it on Tuesday Septermber 29, 2015.  I will be doing more classes too!
Here is just a sneak peek at the album.

Here is the inside.

It has pockets and lots of room for photos too.

It uses the My Creations Album and the Nevermore paper pack all of which you can get on my website

August Stamp of the Month S1508 Framed

Earlier this month I went to the Scrapbook Expo in Santa Clara with a couple of my girlfriend and what a great time we had.  I bought way to much as usual but it was all for projects that I was working on and I will share them later when they are done.
We went to the all night corp on Thrusday night and the Make and Takes and got some great deals on lots of stuff that I couldn't live without.  Well I am sure you know how that goes.

Here is just one of the paper packs that I bought.  I don't know why but this paper was just calling my name and I couldn't walk away from it.  I just used this months CTMH SOTM S1508 Framed.  I really like how simple and clean the cards are.  You can cut them out by hand like I did or you can use your Cricut and the new Artistry cartridge Z3167
You can check it out here

The art work in the background was done by my 4 year old Granddaughter.  I love it!
