Mom's Christmas card...DCWV papers CTMH stamp and cuts by Cricut, Don Juan

A card for Megan.  Megan was super sweet and sent me a cool treat! This is the thank you card I sent her.  Lots of Glimmer Mist on brown cardstock, CTMH stamps.

A thank you for Tuki. Again brown cardstock, several different Glimmer Mist colors and stamp image by CTMH. 

I was in an ornament swap and this is a sampling of what I did. Hmmm Glimmer Mist again, CTMH chipboard, papers, ink and stamp.  Stickles for a bit more bling.

I am really committed to getting back into my craft.  I am so much more calm and focused if I have taken some time to play in ink. I have a lot going on, but I plan on making this one of my big rocks~I'll explain that a bit later... Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!

Bloggin...

I have been bad at blogging...I have several projects I need to upload. Might have to work on that! Happy Friday!!!

In the meantime I am so thrilled. I got the following e-mail from Hunter's teacher and Shawn and I are just over the moon!

Shawn & Siobhan,
Hope you and your family have been well since we last spoke. I just want to take a quick opportunity to tell you that Hunter is an exceptional boy in regards to his parenting and his innate good nature. I “catch” him doing and saying genuinely kind and helpful things to other students and adults that are unsolicited and have no reward, so to speak, for him. It happens enough that I simply wanted to compliment both of you, and him on his character. I have a good number kids who also possess the same qualities, of course, but he has another layer I don’t always see. I really enjoy and am honored to be his teacher!
Hope your holidays are joyful.

Mr. Bott

We have had similar comments about Shelby in the past and I am just so excited that my kids are learning some great values!

I promise to post a few projects soon! Hugs!

What a Great Deal!

Megan's LO's

I was in a LO swap with Megan, a great friend from the Cricut Night Owls.  Here are the LO's that she created for me...

Halloween Princess.  WOW!!! I LOVE what she did with this one.  It perfectly captures Shelby at this age!

Snow Play! So many layers and such dimension.  This LO is an inspiration to me! She did an awesome job using numerous photos on one page! LOVE IT!!!

Getting back into it

I really need to get back to blogging...I just updated my background.  I would really like something fun but haven't found it yet. For now, I have moved from the pepto pink.  Today I will have several posts.  First are a couple of cards I recently did. I will also be publishing the current Close To My Heart special which can be found on My CTMH Site

Hunter's Birthday Card all papers & stickers are from CTMH's You Rock Collection

Shelby's Birthday card.  Cupcake image is from the CTMH Good Times stamp set, topped with Liquid Appliqued.  Background paper is DCWV layered on CTMH cardstock.

By the way...I had a wonderful day with my Mom and Shelby yesterday! Shelby got most of her school clothes, shocked the HELL out of me with some of her choices...like my old girl is back, AND she talked the whole way home. WAY different than the all dark or drab clothed, iPod wearing chicky that has been living in my house the last few years. She blinged it back up! And in PINK Too! I hope she had a good day.  I LOVE that girl! 

Bubble Beach Bag Giveaway!

A friend of mine had a link to this giveaway and I must share myself! These bags are too cute!!!

Take a look at the Bubble Beach Bag  and enter to win one yourself!

Here is  a picture to make you want to pop on over there...

Close To My Heart Art

As I have stated in my profile, I am a NEW Close To My Heart consultant. I am SOOOO excited!!! Here are a few of the things I have done so far with my new stuff (or CTMH stuff I had on hand!)           

This card was done with papers from a past campaign and a retired stamp set.        But this is just a good idea of how fun some CTMH products are!                  

   

I am getting good at multiple posts!!!

This is a birthday card that I made sometime back using the Gypsy, Indie Art and lots of Glimmer Mist 

This is my take on the cupcake sock...this went in Gigi's Easter Boxlet

This is Gigi's altered item that went in her boxlet: I CTMH stamp used on the border :)

 Cuts for Gigi's Boxlet.  Used mostly the Easter Seasonal Cartridge.  The frame and dress are from Gypsy.

This is the card for Gigi.  It has become an Easter tradition. :)

My Easter Boxlet from Gigi! Thank you so much! I love it all!

This bunny card is sooooo cute!

The altered item Gigi sent me...a folder album that is just gorgeous!

I had such a wonderful partner! Thanks again girl!
