Flakey Friends Stamp Set

 

These note cards would be great for sending a traditional "thank you" card to friends and family who have been thoughtful at Christmas and throughout the year.  It is especially appreciated by those that take the trouble to send gifts "across the miles" so that they know the gifts have been received. 

The cards are also available at the Christmas Boutique on November 24th.

Dottie for You Cards and Journal

The cards and journal were all made using CTMH Dotty for You Paper Packet.  These and other hand made items will be offered for sale at out local Christmas Boutique on November 24, 2012.  Please call me or email me for more details.

Pemberly Paper Packet Happy Birthday Card

I used the die-cut cards (3 1/2" x 8"), Pemberly Paper packet, and Casual Expressions Occasions acylic stamp set for this card.  For the flap, I first adhere the paper and then cut around the shape.  I also used the branch from the Flirty Scrapbooking Workshop Season and Nature acrylic stamp set.  This truly is a great hobby for me.  It relaxes me and I am able to save money making the cards instead of buying them.  And I almost always have a card handy for any occasion. 

Pear and Partridge Paper Pack

I was at Christian Business Partners meeting the other day and someone reminded us that we have less than 3 months until Christmas.  This is the time of the year that I usually make several layouts.  There are just too many great photo opportunities when all the festivites begin.  And, of course, each of the granddaughters has her own photo album as well as the one for Mom and Dad.  If you are already behind on your scrap booking, you might want to get a jump on things.  Studio J Online Design Software has 6 perfect Express Collections to help you catch up on those photos that seem to be stuck on the computer.  Check out page 13 of our Idea Book for more information.

Sweet Symphony layout from Imagine "How To" book using Dakota Paper Packet

 

This is such a versatile layout.  On the left page, the suggested photos would be one 6" X 4" photo and three 3" X 3" photos.  On the right page, the suggested photos would be two 4" X 6" photos and one 3" X 3" photo.  If you are interested in a class, call or email me.  (See above for number and email address.)  Kits are available for $10 plus shipping and handling.  Why not purchase your own Workshop on the Go (see page 35 of Idea Book) and get everything you need to make two to three layouts plus enough left over for several cards.  If you are local to the Yucaipa, CA area and would like a Close To My Heart Idea Book, let me know.
