Back from Yellowstone and finishing some projects!

How about a few cards??  I started this 16 Card Workshop from Wishes a few weeks ago but could not finish until I purchased another package of Cherry-O opaques.  I used 1 package per 8 cards and actually had a couple left over that I cut apart and used just the pearls for accents.

I am really loving these multi-card workshops lately.  For one, I am killing several birds with 1 stone, so to speak.  I am keeping a few cards for myself to send out.  I am bundling 4 cards and envelopes to use as giveaways in my prize drawings.  PLUS I am using single cards to put into my customers bags with their orders.  OH and 1 more thing......in the process of it all I am using what I have in my stash and showing off the gorgeous papers and embellishments that CTMH offers!!!

I hope that you were all able to take advantage of the AWESOME 2, 4, 6, 8 sale that CTMH has had going for the past 8 days!  I can honestly say that I have never seen this great of a sale since I have been a customer or a consultant.  WAY TO GO CTMH!!!  Thanks for giving us such awesome products at such a great discount!!

Well, on to 8 of the 16 cards that I created with this workshop.  I did not follow exactly the cutting dimensions for my cards.  I added 16 pieces of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Sweet Leaf CS to use as my card base.  The cards that are shown in the Wishes book are all built on the card base itself which looked a bit plain to me using the Cherry-O Creative Basics papers.  So, I built everything on the Sweet Leaf bases and then adhered to my pre-scored CTMH cards.

Supplies used: 

Paper: Cherry-O Creative Basics, Sweet Leaf CS, Tulip Cs and Colonial White CS

Stamps: Thank You, Dainty Thoughts, Bowl of Cherries, SOTM (can't remember the name off hand)

Ink: Chocolate, Tulip, Sweet Leaf and Blush

Embellishments: Blush Ric Rac, Cherry-O Opaques, Basic Buttons and Chocolate Brads

Wishes Card Confidence Book: 16 card workshop

Bulk Card and Envelops from CTMH (50 pre-scored card bases and 50 envelopes)

Thanks for stopping by!!  

I hope that this has inspired you to give one of these workshops a try from the Wishes Book.  They are a ton of fun to create and  super cute too!

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!

Nugget Tins and 3x3 Matching Cards.......

Good Morning my fellow scrapbookers and stampers!!  Happy Friday!!  I just LOVE coffee and the way it makes me feel in the morning!  LOL  I think I will have to start drinking it ALL day long......maybe I would get more done with a little java in my system throughout the day.....HHHMMM  

I wanted to share with you all these sweet little nugget tins and matching cards that I created for a friend of mine.  Each year she holds a BINGO night for the American Cancer Society.  Cancer has touched both of our lives in a HUGE way and I was honored when she asked me to be a part of it this year.  

These nugget tins will go to the women who host a table for their friends and family.  Each of these tins holds 12 Hershey's nuggets perfectly!

If you would like to get your own nugget tins, go to Papertrey Ink  and look under Package.  They are the nugget tins for $2.  LOVE these things!!  So super cute and very inexpensive!!
