'Wicked'ly Non Halloweeny Challenge

Well, girls... it's on! Here is a card I made with the August SOTM 'Wicked'. My challenge to all my customers is to use 'Wicked' to create something Non-Halloweeny and submit a pic to me. I will draw from all entries and the winner will receive a gift from me. If yours is the only submission, you win! I hope there is lots of competition though because I love to see your artwork! You have until September 15th to submit your entries for the drawing.

Cricut Fun!

This is a waterfall card I made using some of the images on my new CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge, the new beautiful paper pack, Dreamin', and one of my favorite stamp sets Bee Happy. We're gonna make this card at a Gathering on Thursday... it really is a fun and easy moving card to make. Have I told you lately how much I love my Cricut and my Art Philosophy cartridge?

CTMH & Cricut????

Yes! Close to My Heart now has a Cricut cartridge called Art Philosophy that is available bundled with three coordinating stamp sets and three sheets of coordinating chipboard shapes. I have been playing with the cartridge for a few days now and I LOVE it!! There are so many images on the cartridge including a very nice alphabet, flourishes, cards, tags, flowers (including 3-D flowers), bags, boxes, and more!! And a big thanks to Donna for helping me to finally learn how to use my Cricut (after owning it for a couple years already) and my new Gypsy (which is also awesome). I'll be uploading artwork soon.

Things I Love Winner!

Congrats to Barb Krawczyk who won the drawing for a Petite Perks stamp set from me by submitting this layout she made using a border we created at a CTMH Gathering in May. Love it when you girls play along! Thank you Barb for allowing me to display your great layout!

June Was A Free For All!

Here is the Studio J layout Donna Davis created during last month's promotion and her entry for the drawing for a gift from me. Beautiful! And thank you Donna for allowing me to display it...

Rainy Days

With all the rain we've had lately at least it's given me some time to stay indoors and catch up on cards I've been needing to make. Lots of birthdays in these summer months. I'm still behind though so if you haven't gotten yours yet, hang in there!...LOL! Here are a few I've been working on.. all of these very different cards were made the Wings Level II Paper Pack from Close to My Heart! Thanks for looking!

Recent Projects

Here are some things I've been working on. One is a layout made using a border I did with a group of ladies in Gowanda a couple weeks ago. I challenged them to make their layouts and send me a pic so I can post them and I will draw a name for a prize from the entries. Hoping to be able to post some layouts from them soon. I decided to get things started by posting my own layout. Also, I recently attended a crop and learned from a very nice girl how to make a waterfall card and I am hooked. The other three pics are of the waterfall card we made at a recent You and Me Workshop. We made the card with unused papers, embellishments and the stamp set from the You and Me May special. I can't wait to teach some more people how to make this card.... contact me for a party!
