Tuesday Morning Sketches #208 and Color Throwdown #252

Spontaneously decided to play along with Tuesday Morning Sketches #208 and Color Throwdown #252 and I had less than 30 minutes to create, photograph and post this card!  That's why I cheated big time...and why I'm not elaborating much!  If you have a question don't hesitate to include it in your comments and I'll answer as soon as I can.  Thanks for visiting!

Get Organized!

My Mind's Eye, Recollections & Close to My Heart

Goodness I can't believe how quickly time goes by!!  I apologize for the poor lighting on some of my photos...sometimes I just have to do this at night and it seems to work at times and not at others.  For this I used some cute My Mind's Eye paper, Recollections flowers & enamel dots and Close to my Heart (flowers, card stock, bakers twine, stamps, ink and the Make it From Your Heart how to book).

I think it's fun and economical to decorate a .50 - $1.00 bag to turn it into a a bag that would be much more expensive.  Most everyone seems to really appreciate the extra effort, it's just heartwarming to receive something hand made, agree?  

I used the For Always Card Making Kit, the stamp set that comes in it has been very popular.  The For Always paper will continue to be available in the Fall/Winter catalog but the kit will not, so if think you want it you may want to decide quick and get it ordered. It is only available now while supplies last.

Close to My Heart NEW Artbooking Cartridge

If you have a Cricut, you really must feast your eyes on this brand new Close to My Heart cartridge!  It has a great font that will work wonderfully for chalk board style print/cutting, pair it up with some of the ready to cut phrases and you will have so many unique subway type signs and title bars to add just the right touch for your pages.  Many of the cuts are planned sizes for pages but you can resize them however you want for cards and other paper crafts. There are page overlays, and double layouts, and 10 themed mini album pages. There are also really neat photo mats and designs for pages for babies through adults and for EVERY holiday! 

And guess what else? Close to My Heart will be releasing free training videos to help you learn about all the many uses of this value packed cartridge.

This will be available to order as of August 1.  Just like our other two amazing cartridges this is part of a bundle...you get 3 stamp sets and coordinating chipboard elements, which makes this a great value at $99 for the bundle, BUT the BEST way to get it is to host a gathering either in person or on-line that reaches $250 in sales and you can get it HALF off!  Yep that would be just $48.50-that's less than the three stamp sets alone would cost!!  Email me soon about how to host your on-line (all customers orders are shipped direct to their home) or in person gathering!

Here's a sneak peak of the handbook, thanks to some wonderful consultants for sharing these images.
