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:

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.

My Mother-In-Law is Tea-rrrific

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there. I was looking for online for ideas for my MIL for Mother’s Day. She LOVES tea so we bought her some wonderful types of tea leaves and a tea diffuser. There are things like Raspberry Passionfruit and Mint Chocolate Truffle. I know she will enjoy this gift very much. I had made my mom a tea cup card for Mother’s Day already and I rarely make the same card twice, so I wanted to find something different. I looked online for a teapot pattern and I came across this really cute pattern. You can find it here. I knew it would make the perfect card for a tea-riffic Mother.
