Holiday Warmth

Holiday Warmth...October Stamp Of The Month.
The possibilities are endless with this set. You can get all your Christmas cards and layouts done not to mention birthdays and just general winter things. And the best part is that you can get this set at a discount or even FREE!!!! Ask me for details!

I used some of my punches for this card. Sometimes that is way easier than cutting! I used a Martha Stewart Snowflake border punch and a Martha Stewart Large Snowflake punch. The rest of the supplies are Close To My Heart.

This one I used a Martha Stewart Ribbon Punch to thread my ribbon through then tied the bigger bow and attached it. Simple but elegant.

And on this card i used my Swiss dots cuttlebug folder, and my Nestibilities regular oval and scalloped oval.

These are three of the six cards I will be teaching at the Christmas card Workshop on November 1st. Please let me know soon if you are interested as space is limited and will fill up fast.

Well that is all for today and I hope I gave you some inspiration to start your Christmas cards soon.

Thanks for stopping by

Welcome Little One

I am so excited to be scrapbooking a new subject...my first grandchild! I never imagined that I would be so excited to have a new member of the family. I am sure I am going to spoil this one! I posted the other day the cover of her album and now I have a couple of layouts to put in it. I did have the absolute pleasure of being in the delivery room when my daughter gave birth to Novalee and these pictures were taken only minutes after she was born. What a great way to start her album!

All supplies are Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted.

From Our House

I just love this paper packet...Sweet Home. It has to be one of my all time favorite. I used my Wishes Card Pattern Book for the pattern of this card. It came from Curtain Call on page 94 of the Wishes book. If you do not have this book...I would highly recommend it. Ask your family for a copy for Christmas!!!!All supplies are Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted.

This is the Sweet Home Kit of the Month for September.

The kits will contain complete directions to put together a two page layout and 6 cards (3 different designs). These are completely new patterns that are not published in any of our how to books like Cherish or Originals. Each month I will be featuring a new kit that you can order, then the following month I will host a FREE workshop for all that purchases it. If you cannot make it to the workshop you can complete it at home as the kit contains all you need except the inks colors and blocks. (But most of you already have those) This kit contains a new My Acrylix stamp set not available anywhere else. Price for the kit is $37.50.

Sweet Home Kit of the Month contains:

Workshop Guide.

You can add on:

Then at the Workshop in October we will put together the two page layout or the collection of 6 cards. You will also have plenty of papers left over to make your own creations...being more scrapbook pages, cards or altered items.


If you would like to order this kit please contact me before September 23rd in order to get it back before the workshop date.



Have a beautiful afternoon!
