Now I still have to get my place ready for this weekend. LOL But I did enjoy my self . If I can help you or if you have any questions just let me know.

Make It From The Heart Monday

This weekend hubby & I attended an 80th birthday party of a dear friend. It was NO gifts please. Well I could not help myself, I just had to make something and I thought the My Creation Kraft 3-ring binder was what I had dress up a little. It would be prefect for all the photos taken and a great place to put all the birthday cards.  With the help of the Cricut® Artbooking Collection this is what  made it sooooo easy. I used  odds and ends from paper packs to make the pages.

Please visit my webpage or email me for more information

Make it from the Heart Monday on Tuesday

If you visit my blog often you know I have been MIA on my "Make it from the Heart Monday" post.  Life has been really busy and I have not been crafting.  So yesterday I had time to craft and work in my craft barn, it was so nice. This is a little card i worked designed and I hope you enjoy it.

I love number and letter stamps and have almost everyone that "Close To My Heart" has designed since I joined in 2008. That being said I used the stamp set Magical Days, I know, I know, this is a Christmas Stamp but you don't have to use it as a Christmas Stamp. See what I did.

 



I used  Magical Days stamp set for the back ground and added Party washi tape 3 pack and used Just a number stamp set. Now if you have any questions just email me and I'll be glad to help you.

Technique Blog Hop - Only CardStock

Welcome the "Technique Blog Hop - Only Card Stock and if you are coming from Terri's Blog are are on the right. This month our blog hop was to only use card stock, no B&T or patterned. With 40 colors to choose from I had a hard to making the discussion but then I thought I'm working on my "Santa's Workshop and Open House and needed a few more items. I saw my 3 ring binder and my Cricut® Artbooking Collection and I had a plan. This was quiet a hit during a recent Ladies Night Out this week. The items I used were Cranberry and Pear cardstock, Sparkle & Shine Washi Tape 3 pack, Black & Grey Glitter paper,  Ruby Chevon Ribbon and yes of course I added some bling. All products are Close To My Heart.

Holiday Gift Guild Blog Hop

Once again I'm in a blog hop that's going live on Monday, so today due to my busy life and getting ready to go to the CTMH Album Retreat in Salt Lake City this post will have to do. Hope y'all understand. I'm sure you will.

Welcome to the Holiday From the Heart blog hop  featuring our new Holiday Gift Guild where there are some 20 "Close To My Heart" Independent Consultants  share their creations. For a complete blog hop list check here.

Now if you have come from Vicki's Blog you are on the right track.




This was so simple, the base is a white daisy cardstock that I cut for the 5x7 card, this stamp was a little large so I thought it best to use a larger card. I used the WOTG Sparkle & Shine- stamp set, paper pack and Sparkle & Shine Assortment, which is a bargain, you get $41.46 worth for $29.95-that's a $11.51 savings.

Now before you hope over to Michelle's blog please take a few minutes to leave a comment, I would love to what you think.
