This simple card uses CTMH’s Playful Flourishes stamp set. (One of my favorites!) I embossed CTMH’s Taffy Textured Cardstock with white embossing powder. Then I stamped a few sentiments in Taffy ink from CTMH’s Happy Birthday set. I used three mini flowers from CTMH’s White Daisy Just Blooms and added a Pewter brad in the…
This is a card that I made using CTMH’s March stamp of the month called Simple Beauty. I stamped the image twice and then colored it in with markers, cut out the flowers and used 3-D foam squares to add dimension. The “hello” is from CTMH’s For Every Occasion. I also added a bit of…
I saw this adorable dress card on Giovana’s blog and had to make one myself. The dress pattern came from this site. I used some patterned paper from Chatterbox and Blush cardstock from CTMH. The ribbon is actually from Big Lots of all places. *Ü* The card below uses CTMH’s Sweet Pea paper pack, Colonial…

Sorry I don’t have any art to post tonight. I have spent most of my free time this weekend balancing my books and prepping our taxes in between my coughing fits. (My son and I are both sick.) I was happy to find that I actually made a profit this year with my CTMH business….
Staying true to (my latest) form, here is another simple card. I used one of CTMH’s beautiful metal Foundry Frames to emboss the chocolate cardstock. First I spritzed the cardstock with a little water on both sides. Then I laid it on top of the metal frame. I used my rubber brayer to roll over…
I love creating layouts using a single photo. Sometimes you have that perfect photo that you want as the main focus. The layouts above are obviously of my two favorite subjects. My adorable kiddos. They were quick and easy to create because all I did was some “somewhat” random stamping down the page and mat…
I did this couple years ago. I feel in love with the cover of the CTMH Spring 2006 catalog and decided to use it with a Fall theme. My favorite part of the layout is the photo. I attached it to heavy chipboard and then cut it with my paper trimmer and sanded around the…
