  • Congratulations!

    I just got back from Regionals late last night and let me tell you…I had a blast!!! Check back later today to see a few of the projects that we made. (I still need to unpack and take photos of the projects.) I wanted to post this morning to say CONGRATULATIONS to Gerriann who won…

  • Blog Candy anyone?

    I thought I would give away my very first blog candy since my counter hit 1,000 today! (I know that number isn’t very high for some of your blogs, but since I am so new at this blogging thing, I am excited!) I thought I would give away a few extra things that I have…

  • Celebrate Today Card

    I cased this card from my good friend and fellow CTMH consultant Christine Adams. She does such fabulous work!! I changed my version just a bit. I used CTMH’s Friendship Blessings and Rustic Flowers stamp sets and the sentiment came from Papertrey’s new Mixed Messages stamp set. I used a finger dauber to add a…

  • Precious Ryan

    Even though it was almost 4 years ago, I still remember the day I took these photos. It was a really hot day and I had my little guy wearing nothing but a diaper to stay cool. I spread out my soft down comforter and we played on the floor for a while. He looked…

  • It shipped! It shipped!

    I have been wanting to get an inexpensive sewing machine to sew on my cards and layouts for a long time. (I would actually love to learn how to “really” sew someday too, but I just can’t afford another hobby at the moment.) I had heard that Janome’s Sew Mini was great for sewing paper…

The top panel is raised with some 3-D foam squares.Cardstock: CTMH Autumn Terracotta, Chocolate, textured White Daisy Stamps: CTMH Autumn Splendor, So…

  • 35 Things About Me…

    This is a layout that I did a couple of years ago. (I will be 38 this May.) I am posting it because many of you don’t know me yet and I thought this was kind of a fun way to find out some silly things about me. Here are 35 “random” things about me…

  • Welcome Baby Hannah

    This is a layout that I entered in Close to my Heart’s Regional Celebration contest last year. It is the first thing that I have ever entered and I actually won!! Here is Jeanette Lynton, Founder & CEO of CTMH, holding my winning entry.The contest was to create a layout using our E-sized alphabet or…

  • Cherish Friendship

    I have been looking at my millions of Prima flowers that I have in jars decorating my craft room thinking, “Hmm…someday I will have to actually use some of these.” I found a great blog last night and came a cross a really simple, but elegant card that inspired me to create this “Cherish Friends”…
