Sympathy Card

I made this card for a friend who lost her father. She makes the most beautiful cards so I had to step up my card. I used the Make It From the Heart Volume 1 for my card design. It turned out very nicely! 

Christmas Workshops!!

It is that time of year! We are thinking about Christmas cards, gifts, and other crafty goodies!  I will be offering a few holiday workshops!! 

Love my tree!! 

Dates coming soon! 

Baby Card

My friend had his 4th child and I usually make them a card with the baby's name. I reached way back in my CTMH stash for this cute paper. It is fun to make personalized cards!! 

Canvas Workshop Cutie!!

My sister-in-law, Kara, and I made this cute canvas of Noah today during his nap times!! We added some burlap and durables instead of the big ass sparkles!! Isn't he a cutie!! We listed things he can do now!! It was a lot of fun!! 

If you ordered a canvas let me know if you want to get together to make it!!

August Stamp of the Month

The August Stamp of the Month is a fun stamp set! I had a great time creating new cards with the chocolate theme! I used the new Babycakes paper and our new bronze shimmer trim. For the card layouts I used the NEW Make it From the Heart Volume 2. All 5 cards I made were from the book!

To make it even better, instead of earning the Stamp of the Month for $5, this month if you spend $50 you get it for FREE!!! What a great set for FREE!!

Midnight was very excited about the cards as you can tell! The close-up card is one of the cards we made at my open house!

You can order the Stamp of the Month on-line or send me an e-mail!

Canvas workshop!!

The canvas workshop special this month is a great deal!! Kelli put one of hers together tonight!! There are lots of choices of chipboard so you can make it work for your pictures. We substituted metals for the "big ass sparkles" and it turned out great! 

If you ordered the workshop we can schedule a time to make it here at my house! 

There are a couple days left to order this workshop before it is gone!!
