Pair-A-Phrase

I didn’t have time to do a page layout this week, but I did make several cards. Cards are easier for me because I can do them on my down time at work. I can’t very well pack all of the supplies I need to do pages, but I can take along stuff for card making. I decided to make cards with the Pair-A-Phrase stamp set and boy, did I make a lot of cards.

In fact, I have an extra set of 10 cards to give away. If you would like a chance to win them, all you need to do is become a follower of this blog and like my facebook page.

Here are the cards:

It’s A Guy Thing

$2, $4, $6 for 8

If you had a chance to read the CTMH retiring list that I posted yesterday, you will notice that all (yes ALL) of the current paperpacks and stickers are being retired. There are many big changes ahead for Close to My Heart. In 2011, there will be only two idea books instead of three. This is good news, as it means there will be many more wonderful new things in the book. The other big news is that anything in a book will be available for only the life of that book. That means, any paper packs, embellishments and stamp sets will only be available for six months. As it is right now, we have stamp sets and paper packs that are five years old. So, what does this mean for you? If you see something that you want, you have to remember that after the six months the book is live, it will be gone forever.

Now for some great news! Because all of the paper packs and Stickease are being retired, CTMH is having a huge blowout sale. I am posting a list of what will be on the sale.

The sale will be from August 4th-11th, while supplies last.  If you would like anything, please feel free to place the order on my website.

A New Day, A New Blog

I figured it was time to boost it to the next level and join the world of the technically savvy. I figured it was finally time to build my first blog since my husband has three already. I guess my intent for this blog is to be able to share my artwork, my business and my love for papercrafting with others. I regularly check in on several scrapbooking blogs and have gathered so many ideas and information from them that I wanted to be able to give back as well. Also, I hope to have something new to post several times per week, so come back and visit often. Check back really soon for some grand blog opening blog candy!

 

 

 

This is a clock that I made for my new little nephew to match his bedroom. I used the Animal Cookies Level 2 Paper pack, Woodcut Alphabet (retired). I adhered the paper to the clock using liquid glass and I also liquid glassed the little hippopotamus to give him some dimension.

 

 

 

Have a splendid day and don’t forget to check back for the upcoming blog candy!
