More Animal Cookies

Happy Birthday to my stamping friend Mary. I made this card for her with her favorite paper and a fun new product, Foam Die Cut Numbers.


This card is made using the Animal Cookies Creative Basic pack (X5807) and the Foam Die-Cut Numbers. Using my heat embossing tool, I heated the number and then stamped on them with a background stamp (D1280 Spot on Backgrounds) inked with Versa mark (Z891), holding it for 10 seconds. The versamark ink keeps the stamp from sticking to the warm foam and allows for easy separation after the impression is made. To see a step by step guide to this technique, refer to our Summer Idea Book, page 27. If you don't have a current Idea Book, you can see this on my website or contact me to get a hard copy.

Animal Cookies

Bright, cheerful colors and stripes, engaging animal designs, and fun polkadots create memory magic with Close To My Heart’s Animal Cookies Level 2 paperpacket (X7112B). As my workshop guest, you’ll have great adventures using our handy piercing tool kit! Class fee: $28 with ship/tax. RSVP by July 15th to save your space.

On this layout, I also used our Heartfelt Whimsy Die-Cuts to add color and texture. During the workshop, we will be using the Foam Die-Cut Numbers (Z1162) and learn how to add texture to them as well as shrink them to the size you want.

Don't like surprises?

If you are like me, you may not have been excited about the "unknown" in the goodie boxes in the June "Deal a Day" specials. But what if you knew exactly what you were getting? Would that sweeten the deal?

• 
  What if you could get $222 in products for $99?


• 
  What if you knew exactly what the product in the box is?


• 
  What if you could add one or two additional boxes of known product for even more savings?


• 
  What if after you bought the goodie box, you could get a 22% discount on all future purchases?

Our consultant kit offers all of the above, and you know exactly what you get. In addition, in the month of July, you can pick Five Favorites from a list and they are included in your kit for free!
If this deal sounds sweet to you, then we need to talk.

Everything Chocolate

Although this layout is simple so you can see the details of the chocolate art! On the cruise, there was a midnight chocolate buffet. Jeff and the girls stayed up and went to ooh and aah over all the chocolate sculptures as well as taste a few of the chocolate desserts. I have used the Tinkerin' paper (x7113c), large chocolate alphabet (E1010) (appropriate I thought) and the fun badge buttons (Z1159). All of these products can be order from my website, 24/7. And, to go with the chocolate theme, today you get free Chocolate Brads when you order any stamp set.

Color-coordinate your way to professional-looking layouts and cards with these chocolate metal accents! Great for corners, next to photos, or for attaching stamped images. Use three in a row to draw the eye. (4mm, 100 per package)

Spring Break

More photos with Moon Doggie paper packet. These shots were the beginning of our trip at the hotel in Long Beach. I was able to catch Marissa in mid-air on her way into the pool. The perfect exclamation point to the beginning of a great week. The title was created using the Headline Alphabet, stamped in cranberry ink, rolled in cocoa ink and then cut out. A bit of a process but with great results don't you think? I also used the "journey" journaling jots as well as the my stickease to add embellishment to the pages.

Moon Doggie brings me back to Mexico!

Our family went on a cruise to Mexico for Spring Break 2009. When I returned home, I knew exactly what papers I wanted to use to document the feel of the warm sun, the sound of the water and the tropicals sights we experienced. Moon Doggie! On these pages, I created the "workshop on the go layout" using the paper packet, Extreme Happiness stamp set, and the fun "Journey" journaling spots. These small cardstock weight spots come in a variety of shapes and sizes and make it easy to add journaling as well as embellishment to my scrapbook pages. In the next few days, I will be posting other pages I have created with this paper packet. Stay tuned.

Wow, where did the week go!

I supposed because this is the last week of school, the week has been engulfed with the several end of the year celebrations! Therefore my "work" time has been limited to what I can do while I am out and about with my family and meeting up with my friends. But that is one thing I love about being a CTMH consultant.
