A Little Card Swap - Cherry-O

Hello! Happy Monday.

I have been such a bad blogger. I will be fairly consistent for a week or 2 - then poof! A month goes by with nothing. :) I thought I'd share the cards I made for the Close to My Heart swap that occurs each time a new catalog is released. I made 44 of these cards (I think I actually only needed 42 - but oh well!), with the new, fun "CHERRY-O" paper pack from CTMH, along with the "Be Yourself" stamp set. In return, I received 40 or so projects back from fellow CTMH gals - some were cards, some journal covers, some scrapbook layouts, all showcasing the new papers from the Summer 2010 Catalog. Fun Stuff!

Here is a close up of the paper "flowers" I used on each card. We also showcase a new embellishment. My embellishment(s) were the "Tulip" colored buttons and brads.

And......here is the Summer 2010 Close To My Heart idea book - let me know if you would like a copy. It's full of great ideas for cards, scrapbook pages, and gifts you can make. :) (you can also click the picture to view it online).Have a fabulous day! I am mentally wanting to pick raspberries and blackberries today - but I'm not sure if my body wants to. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I really should clean the house.

Spring Idea Book - Get Your's Today! :)

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

If you are a scrapbooker, cardmaker, or papercrafter -

then you should take a look at the

NEW Spring 2010 Idea Book from Close to My Heart.

It's full of beautiful artwork (as well as papers, stamps, etc. of course!)

You can click on the Picture link below to take a look, or I would be happy to give you a real live copy that you can thumb through. Just let me know-leave a comment on this post or email me!

And.........for the rest of this month, Close to my Heart is helping HAITI and customers all at the same time. When you buy 1 assorted pack of textured cardstock, YOU get another for **FREE**, and $2 will be donated to Haiti. A win-win for sure. I just heard that CTMH has sold 2 YEARS worth of inventory in the past 23 days! WOW! Get yours while you can. There are 3 choices still available: Autumn Harvest (Fall colors), Spring Harmony (pastels) and Summer Celebration (brights).

I hope to hear from you! You can never have too much paper or too many craft supplies.....can you??

;)

44 Cards.........Whew!

I signed up for a "swap" (totally optional) for Close to My Heart, where you make 44 of the same cards, then you swap with 43 other people! The great thing is you end up with 44 different things, from cards to layouts! All of the finished goodies are made with new papers and embellishents from the Summer 2009 catalog.



Timing was kind of bad on this one, I had to crank them out right after we got back from our trip. I was assigned this **new** paper pack, "Moon Doggie" and the **new** Heartfelt shapes (felt) as my embellishment.


I'm not sure I love the finished product, but I did finish them in time.

Here are all 44:











They each came out a little different.

If you would like to take a look at the new catalog, just click HERE. :)

Okay, I'm off. Time to make some pancakes and do some flower planting.

Have a great day!
