Jean's 75th Birthday

A few years ago, we surprised my Mom on her 75th Birthday by taking her out to supper.


For the journaling I printed it out on my HP Printer using the custom color tab to print it with Tulip Color Ink. I have the RGB codes that match Close To My Heart ink colors. So I just enter them into the Red Green Blue codes in the custom ink colors in my word program then the printer will print out that color. This is great to get the journaling to match your project.

All supplies are from Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted:
Cherry O Paper X7123B
Colors are tulip, Chocolate, Sweet Leaf and Colonial White
Cherry O My Stickease X71123C

Key to my Heart

This is a quick post today.  I came across this picture of a layout I made a while back.  I didn't write down any supplies I used so I hope you will just enjoy the layout without a supply list.

Love that Rocking Horse

I am so glad I had foresight to keep some of the things my kids had when they were little. It is really cool to see my grandbabies use the same things their parents used.
This layout uses only cardstock, no patterned paper at all.  It is a very simple layout that only took a few minutes to put together.

Have I told you I absolutely LOVE the Kraft Color Ready Borders? They are the coolest new product we have in the Spring/Summer 2011 catty! You get 50 (2 each of 25 designs) 12 inch adhesive backed borders. They can be used as is or they can be colored. You can even weave strips of paper through them like I did on this layout. And the best part is they are only $6.50. Yep, that is right I said only $6.50. What are you waiting for…order some today here, or give me a call to place your order.


This layout is also the Miracle Workshop on the Go. I did make a few changes that made it work with my photos better. I hope you like it.

Happy Monday

It seems like forever since I posted a card. 
I made these cute little cards for my downline who had the highest sales in my 1st, 2nd and 3rd level of downline. I have such a wonderful team; I wish I had time to make all of them a card every month!


For the strip running across the card I wanted a muted version of Sunset to match so I used White Daisy cardstock and my stipple brush and stippled Sunset Ink onto the cardstock. I think it turned out great! Using these brushes from the distressing kit really makes your supplies go farther as you can use them to make your own custom colored cardstock.

I used the Olivia Paper packet for these cards and paired it up with some unexpected color Pacifica! (other colors I used in the other cards were Lagoon and Gypsy).

Olivia Paper Packet X7128B
Cardstock Colors are Pacifica, Sunset and White Daisy

All Star Layout

I really like the layout of these pages. It is another sketch from the Magic How To Book, Juggling Act on page 110. These sketches make it so easy to duplicate the layouts with Cutting Diagrams, Placement diagrams, paper sizes and full color photos of a completed layout using the pattern. I cannot say enough about the How to Books from Jeanette Lynton founder of Close To My Heart.
