Close to my Heart- August Special

The August special (order before the 17th) is one you really shouldn't miss. If you spend $100 you get the August stamp of the month free PLUS you get a free level two paper pack! Free stuff is always good. AND as an added thank you there is no tax or shipping charges on the freebies!!!

If you email me I would love to give you details on my new Shoppers Reward Club that I am starting. Think more freebies and discounted stuff. This is offered THRU ME not thru CTMH - it's a special promotion that I am offering to thank my loyal customers for their business. Email me for details! And be sure and check out my website! (<-----click there). The new idea books are out and I would be happy to mail you one. The Christmas stuff is a MUST HAVE! As always- email me or comment if you have a question!

The park

Danny took these great pics of Bouncer playing at the dog park. I had alot of fun with this layout. The circle rings came from Technique Tuesday- I bought them @ the CKC convention. I used glimmer mist on them, stamped them with the puppy paw, and then blinged them out a little. I also used a stamp on the letters and the flowers which was a technique taught at the CKC convention that I had forgotten about. Overall I love this layout. I framed it and hung it on the wall in my creativity room. It also won the most votes for the July contest so its on our home page right now.

Anniversary Card

We are doing an anniversary card swap in my group. I couldn't decide if I wanted to make a card that you would give to say....your parents, or if I wanted to make a card that you would give to your spouse/significant other. So I chose to make one that I could see myself giving to Danny on our anniversary. I've been on an inchie kick lately so I incorporated that into my card. Hope everyone in the swap likes it.

Fun in the Photo Booth!

I can't resist a photo booth! We took these at Moody Gardens and had so much fun! More Moody Garden and 4th of July pics coming soon! (Just click on the picture for a better view!)

Tag Day!

I had a few hours to play today and I was feeling inspired after my trip to the LSS. I have a tag swap in my group and we make a different themed tag each month. The next two I needed were floral, and then "anything".

The floral tags were fun. I used my new pastel colored alcohol inks to make the nesting flowers and then added a friendship quote rub-on and some floral ribbon.





For the "anything goes" I covered the tag in a stamp and then added a CTMH stamp that says Captured Memories, embossed it with some glitter, added a flower and a little bling brad and Voila.

Are these clean?????

I loathe putting dishes away and do everything I can to make sure that chore belongs to Danny. He gladly puts them away......but never knows if the dishwasher has been run or not. Tired of answering the question "are these clean?" I created a magnet this morning for the dishwasher. I used a 4x6 magnet, scrap paper, and random alpha stickers. It was super easy and I think its adorable.
