Ok, Thanksgiving is now past so I can focus on the Holidays....

:::Cue Holiday Tunes on Pandora:::

Greetings all and thanks for stopping in today. If I could share a warm cup of apple cider or a hot toddy with you, I definitely would. Now that Thanksgiving has past and my scrapping day crop is over, I can focus on my holiday cardmaking. How about you?

Well, this week I plan on bringing you some Christmas cards that I am making for family and friends. Close to My Heart does have a Hannukah stamp set that I have to order. I definitely did not plan well enough this year!!! I do have an alternative card though . Here is the first card I have to share today:




Do you remember the 3 layouts I did with the Sparkle & Shine Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go HERE? Well, even after 3 double page layouts, I have more paper to work with for cards. The mat base though is some paper I had in my scrap pile from awhile back. Here are the supplies I used:

- Remaining paper from the Workshops On The Go® Sparkle & Shine Scrapbooking Kit
- CTMH 12" x 12" Slate cardstock
- CTMH Red Shimmer Trim
- November Stamp of the Month Illuminate (you can still get this for $5 if you place a $50 order on my website TODAY. There are 15 stamps in this set)
- Scrap paper from the pile

I cannot wait to share the next card with you. Remember that the current Promotion, Holidays from the Heart is currently going on. Choose one “star” item from the Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide FREE for every $100 of retail-priced products in your order from the Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide and/or the Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book.

Get Inky! Stamps Challenge Inspiration Post- Onward and Upward

Good day all! It is my turn to bring inspiration for the Get Inky Stamps Challenge "Onward and Upward." I have to say that this was a team project with my dear Hubby. He loves tart candles as they make our house smell delicious. I always say that he is my MacGyver. He decided  he wanted to make his own tart warmer for our main bathroom. He, of course, needed my help to make it pretty! To me onward and upward makes me thinking of the flying creatures of the world. Here is the finished product:



Supplies Used:

SU Paper Flowers
SU Rose Embellishment
SU Red Glitter paper
White Tulle ribbon

Thanks to Get Inky! Stamps for having me over. Until next time...

So I wish you a wonderful holiday.

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Winter, Day 3

Greetings all!

Welcome back for Day Three (and the final day) of cards I made with the Workshop on the Go Frosted Cardmaking kit. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the Workshops on the Go and am looking forward to the new ones coming in January.



The Workshop on the Go Frosted Cardmaking kit (pictured above) comes with the easiest cutting guide that has everything cut for 15 cards (3 types with 5 cards each) in a blink of an eye. Here is the third card I made:


The additional items I used that are not included in the kit are:
Ruby Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad
Cocoa Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad

Olive Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad

Twilight Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad
If you would like to create the cards I have shown the past several days, you will want to order your kit as soon as possible HERE as it is on the RETIRING ITEMS list. Once they are gone, they are gone so you don't want to miss out. And remember, if you order $50 in products, you can get the November Stamp of the Month (pictured below) for only $5 (save $12.95).

Happy Day all.....

Greetings on this very cold and windy Sunday in NJ! At least the sun is shining and my food shopping is done. Now it is time to play with my new Close to My Heart products and make more things to share with you. I wanted to take today to let you know of some Retiring products that you do not want to miss out on. So here we go:

For those of you who already own the Art Philosophy Cricut Collection, the following Dimensional Elements are being retired:

Dimensional Elements Hearts

Dimensional Elements Notable Alphabet


Dimensional Elements Stars

Another item that makes your advent calendar a breeze is the:

My Creations® Cubby

And last but not least, the Workshops on the Go which you can view HERE. These are such an exceptional value with the detailed instructions and cutting guides you can use over and over again.

Please come by tomorrow to see what I have done with the Frosted Cardmaking Workshop. Your holiday cards can be done in a flash. 

Off I go to get creative before wrestling with the men in my life. Until tomorrow....

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Winter, Day 1

Greetings all!

I have been nursing Hubby back to health and this is giving me time to sit still and be creative also. I will be sharing cards I made with the Workshop on the Go Frosted Cardmaking kit over the next 3 days. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with these Workshops on the Go and am looking forward to the new ones coming in January. I am sad to see Laughing Lola and Frosted WOTG's being retired but I know there will be more to come.
