Kreative Keepsake Box

I just love this paper packet. It's so versatile. I made this Treasure Box for my son and I love how it turned out. I have to admit I scraplifted this from Chris Green a fellow CTMH'er. It's a great way to keep items from Taylor's baby days. If you'd like to try one, the blank box is only 6.95 before shipping and handling. I'll be happy to order one for you.

Thank you Quickie Card

Here's a great card to make when you want to use your scraps and only have a little time.

Time Flies when your having fun

I was inspired by Michelle Zindorf today. She does beautiful work and it always stirs my creative juices. Today I pulled out my trusty brayer, dusted it off and inked up for this card.

Here I used Close To My Heart's Make it Count and Free Spirit stamp set, Black, Sunflower, Crystal Blue, Moonstruck, Olive, White Daisy and Autumn Terracotta ink. This was a quick card to make and fun to boot. I hope you enjoy it. I plan to send it to someone I love as a thank you for being the world's greatest sister and friend.

Some elements of this album are insipred or borrowed from other creative CTMH consultants

Moondoggie!!!

Oh what a fun day this was; what a beautiful way to remember it. I just love how this layout turned out. Tuesday of last week my parents, grand-parents, the kids and I went out for a fun day on the Pascagoula River. We spotted mom and dad osprey feeding their babies. Until then, I'd never seen in person a bird caring a fish. On that trip we saw two! The kids had so much fun. This was Taylor's first boat trip and he gave it two thumbs up. I am looking forward to our next boat outing.

These two pages were created during my Hostess Rewards Club that met last Friday night. They were created with Close To My Heart's Moondoggie level 2 paper paper pack, Extreme Happiness stamp set, Building Blocks Alphabet stamps, Elegant Script Alphabet stamps, Cranberry and Desert Sand Ink, and their new Journaling Spots. I'd be happy to help you create the same or similar layouts. Just ask me how.

Be Yourself Birthday Card

What a blessing it is to have great friends surrounding me. Amanda is one of them and this Birthday card is for her special day tomorrow... or more accurately in the next half hour. I hope she likes it. I made it today during the kids (& DH's) nap time. I used the May Stamp of the Month from Close To My Heart and the Key to My Heart paper kit also CTMH. The layout came from Jeanette Lynton's book called Originals. I love it because sometimes I don't have time to be creative and it's a great starting point. This particular card pattern is on page 90.

Amanda I hope you have an awesome birthday!!! And remember it doesn't have to be limited to just one day; take a week or two.

Cute Birthday Card

I can't say fast, it took me a while to create this. But it would be fast to re-create it. It is a 5x7 card. I made it for Drew's first birthday. I kept playing around with it one night. I thought it turned out cute. It's not to kiddish so you could use it for an adults b-day too. I used spring Iris Blue and the green pattern paper is from the CTMH Emporium Level 2 Kit. The Stamp set is birthday bash for the cake and the words are from the Nursery Set offered by CTMH.
