Need a quick sympathy card?

Good day all and Happy Tuesday!

This past weekend we received news that my son's classmate lost her Dad unexpectedly. I felt so moved that I decided to make a sympathy card for her family. These were also mass produced like the card from yesterday. I make multiples often in these instances. Here is the result:

The stamp set is from Stampin' Up, the paper is old from Creative Memories and the Silver Shimmer Trim  (Z1799), Black and Grey Sparkles Assortment (Z1754) and the Black Exclusive Ink (Z2105) from CTMH. I am attempting to use up a lot of my older paper but know I need some more CTMH stamp sets. I see more coming in my future for sure! Remember, if you are looking for Close to My Heart Products, I would be happy to help you (even tell you how to eatn free and discounted products). You can go to my website HERE or email me HERE. Thanks for coming by and I hope to see you soon. Until next time...

Things are Getting Sketchy Around here....

Greetings all and Happy Monday!

This weekend I spent time with my monthly card making group and it definitely recharged my creative battery. I actually got a lot of cards done this weekend. The first one I want to share is my card for next month's card swap. We were given a sketch to work from and this is what I came up with:

I have used a mish mosh of products on this one. The CTMH products I used are:

- Silver Shimmer Trim (Z1799)

- Black & Grey Sparkles Assortment (Z1754)

- Angel Friends Stamp Set (B1435)

 - You Only Live Once (retired Hostess Rewards set)

- Exclusive Inks! Lagoon (Z2195) and Twilight (Z2160)

Card base was in a pack I bought 1,000 years ago (lol). I love the tone on tone look and can see making more of these in different colors. Thanks for popping by. Until next time....
