8 MORE cards using Everyday Celebration cutting dimensions.....

I am still on a kick of getting things done and using what I have!  These cards were created back before Christmas and I am just now getting them finished with stamping and embellishments.  As I have mentioned a few times over the past several weeks, my upline Shari encourages us to use what we have and by doing so she showed us how to take the cutting dimensions for the Everyday Celebration Card Kit that was a special in the fall and create completely different cards with it.  I chose to use the papers from    Emporium that I had left over along with some Colonial White Textured CS that I purchased and was not using.

So, last night I went to my friend, Val's house to crop with the "girls" and had a BLAST!!  After finishing up the last set of cards I brought out this set and stamped away.  I chose to stick with only 2 stamp sets and make them all Thank You cards.  These cards will go to my mom as she loves to send out cards.  Who knows, maybe I will get one back in the future!  LOL

Onto the cards and the reason you all stopped by!  LOL  For all 8 cards I used Treetops and Thank You.

Supplies used: 

Paper: Emporium, Cocoa CS, Colonial White Textured CS

Stamps: Treetops, Thank You

Inks: Cocoa, Sweet Leaf, Garden Green, Cocoa, Vineyard Berry

Embellishments: Sweet Leaf Ribbon, Colonial White Ric Rac, Basic Buttons, Colonial White and Crystal Blue Waxy Flax, White Hemp, Colonial White Grosgrain Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by!  

I hope that I have inspired you to get out your unfinished projects and start working on them!  I feel SO much better now that these cards are complete and can be put to use by someone who will LOVE sending them out!  

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!

June Unit Swap Card using Cherry-O

Yesterday I attended the monthly unit meeting that my upline Shari holds.  I look forward each month to attending the unit meeting and am thankful to Shari for providing such a fun and informative night each month for her downline! 

I have been a bit busy creating art for convention coming up in a month that I am not able to share with you all quite yet!  It has been SO hard to not be able to share my creations with anyone.....but I guess good things come to those who wait??  Not sure if that really applies here, but it sounded good anyhow!  LOL

Onto my card!  This is a 6x6 card pattern that came from the Wishes book.  Each month I try to challenge myself by choosing a swap item that I usually don't create for myself.  This month was the 6x6 and I actually had fun putting this together YESTERDAY just hours before unit meeting.  I only had to make 11 of them....uugghhh when will I learn??  LOL

Supplies used:
Paper: Cherry-O, Crystal Blue CS is distressed with Crystal Blue ink
Ink: Crystal Blue, Chocolate and Tulip
Stamps: Thank You, Summer Wishes (Splendor WOTG Kit) and Spot on Backgrounds
Embellishments: Sweet Leaf Ribbon, Basic Buttons (colonial white used) Cherry-O Opaques, Cranberry Waxy Flax, Spring Blossom Just Blooms
Tools: 1 1/4 Circle Punch

Thanks for stopping by! 

I hope that this has inspired you to step out of your comfort zone and create a card size that you normally don't make OR give......

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!!

Kids back to school......time to play!!! LOL

Now that BOTH of the kids are back at school, I have a little more time to "play"!!! So, hopefully, I will be able to post a little more often!!!

I have a new downline, Deb, coming over to my house in 1 hour so we can chat a little about what she would like to do with her new adventure with Close to my Heart! So, I created this notebook that she can use to write down her goals for her business and for whatever else comes to mind!

My upline Shari made one similar to this for me when I first signed up and I swear I used every last piece of paper in that notebook. There is just something special about having a notebook all decorated with your name on it!!

ANYHOO......On to the art.......lol


If this paper does not look familiar, it is because it is a sneak peak to a darling NEW paper pack called Twitterpated from Close to my Heart!!! OH my.....the NEW Autumn/Winter Idea Book is to die for!!! You can check it out on September 1st on my website!! Make sure you don't miss it!
The buttons in the corner are also new to the Autumn/Winter Idea Book as well as the cute dotted overlay on the center where Deb's name it......OH and I can't forget the small details....In the center of the 2 buttons at the bottom of the page is Sorbet Waxy Flax.....again NEW!!!
Sorry to have to tease you all like that......LOL......not really!! OOHHH I can be mean sometimes! If you would like to also have a sneak peek at the new products as they come in, all you need to do is sign up to be a consultant for CTMH!! I would LOVE to have you join my team "Creativity in Motion". We are certainly on the move in creating beautiful cards, scrapbook pages and paper projects!
Well, gotta go get ready for Deb!!
Hope that I have inspired you to go get a cheapie notebook and create your own! OR I will make you one when you join my team.......tempting, I know!! LOL
Thanks for sticking with me!
