Videos with CTMH

I have a couple new great Close to My Heart videos to share with you on wonderful ways to use the products and make the most out of your cards and scapbook pages.  

This one is Coordinate with Cricut:

How about this one, called Alcohol Marker Madness:

Here's another one with Carly about the Alcohol markers too:

There's one more I'm dying to share too but I can't seem to get it loaded for some reason.  As soon as I can get it up I'll so be on top of it and sharing it here.  I want to see it myself too so trust me, I'm working on it.  In the meantime, enjoy these, try them out, and let me know what you think!

Monday Stuff

I totally skipped last Monday...so I am just going to post it today.  I can do that, you know.  My blog, my rules...even if they don't make sense.  This certainly makes no sense.  So last week's Mojo Monday looked like this:

But, as usual, I rocked it my own way and decided to try out some birthday cards and came up with this design

Again, I continued on with my birthday theme and created a couple other cards and designed the ones to the right.------------->


I'm really excited also because I placed my first official order through Close to My Heart and it arrived the other day.  I'm so pumped to use all my new products!!  They're awesome!  Looky look at 'em! (think I could use more exclamation points?)

This is the new Halloween Workshop on the Go in the Moonlight pattern .  This great kit comes with: 
1- My Reflections Moonlight Paper Packet
1- My Acrylics Moonlight Workshop Stamp Set

These are my great new stamps, including the adorable double stamp set that is part of the CTMH constant campaign for September.  Also, included is the 11piece October Stamp of the Month, Fall Favorites.  Last is the beautiful Love Blooms stamp set.  You have no idea how excited I am to use these new stamps on some cards and scrapbook pages!  That Love Blooms set is so awesome!

Worst Blogger Evah!

Okay, so I admit it!  I'm the world's worst blogger ever.  I'm not consistent, not on time even, and constantly think of things I want to write and blog about but then never actually seem to make the time to do it.  That, my friends, is called laziness.  

But, I did see this recently and it made me smile and I wanted to share it and make you, yes YOU, smile too!

That's all.  I didn't have anything else to say really.  Well, okay I do but I honestly just don't want to spend the time doing so.  Maybe tomorrow though.  I've got cards galore that I want to post up!  :)

Monday Madness

Once again Monday has come and gone and I had nothing up...get used to this my friends.  I did copy the Mojo Monday card design and make it though...it just didn't actually happen until Tuesday.  

Cute huh?  I was excited to do this one and am relatively pleased with how mine turned out.  My dots around the semi-circle aren't spaced quite right, but hey, I guess that's what makes it unique and homemade, right?  I'll just keep telling myself that anyhow.  It's also not quite as fancy either, but I still like the simplicity of it.

I don't know what it was with me on Tuesday, but I was determined to finish enough Thank You cards and Love cards for 3 people so I was on a roll.  I worked for several hours and ended up creating several more, using several sketches as my beginning inspiration from Mojo Monday.  

 Again, the Love cards were created using some great papers I found at Hobby Lobby from The Paper Studio.  I used stamps from My Acrylix sets Thoughtful Tidings, A Little Thanks, Perfect Fit-Frames Flare, Sweet Love, and two 

other sets from the Celebration collection.  Ink colors include Slate, Chocolate, and Tulip.  

The Thank You ones were made using an old paper pack from CTMH, from about 2010, I believe.  The same stamp sets and inks were used with these as well.  I also found some "bling" and red velour ribbon to add to some of them also.  Love the added touches it gives them!

I'm not sure what my next bunch of cards will be but I am getting excited to do them.  I'm hoping to create enough to give a mixed pack of them to my mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and my mom for Christmas.  Hopefully they will enjoy using and giving them as I have in creating them.

One a quick and totally unrelated note, I am about done with my card display holder.  I took some pretty paper from Hobby Lobby's The Paper Studio and adhered it to the sides and them applied Modge Podge to it all.  I still need to work on my corners...not sure how to correct them yet though.  At least the 2012 GRAD part is covered though!

Dauber Dynamite

Finally, the last one (for now) is here!  This Dauber Dynamite video is just that:  totally dynamite!  Great, now I'm singing Tiao Cruz and probably will be for the remainder of my evening.  Well, if I'm gonna sing it I might as well "throw my hands up in the air sometimes, singing ay-oh, gotta leeet go!"

Forgot this one!

Eek, I forgot to post the first one in the episodes!  Here it is folks.
