The Wonderful West

I've been playing with some fun papers from Cosmo Cricket and Close To My Heart with a Western Feel. We've had a couple of fun excuses to use CTMH's western themed stamp sets too!

The first photo shows the inside of a fold out. It has the small flyer on the outside and the full program from the day on the inside cover that can open for reading and the map of the place. Then opposit, I have 8 smaller photos of some of the activities the family did and saw at the event. I love how it turned out. I used some of the older embllishments I had from CTMH for the first layout and brads I found at Kroger, discontinued from Making Memories on the second layout. Here, I used the Adorable stamp set from CTMH.

I also used the Sasparilla papers for a sweet layout I made of my husband and our daughters, but I'm not posting it here yet. I'm toying with the idea of getting my website up again, so will save it for there!

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do. All inks are CTMH as well as the stamps.

Graduation Darling

This is a fun graduation set I got from Clear and Simple Stamps. I used it to create some fun projects. The 12 x 12 layout, card and pencil holder are made using papers, embellishments and inks from CTMH and Stamps from Clear and Simple. The card hat keeps the center opening card together and swivels with the brad. I've been creating all weekend in the midst of our family outings and will try to post some more of these projects later!

Fun Layout!

I used my CTMH Dino Roar stamp set and a CTMH Level 1 kit along with some green paper I had in my stash to make this fun layout. I thought the spots reminded me of Dino on the Flinstones!My son loved dinosaurs as a small boy and I plan on adding photos and journaling about his favorite book and the hundreds of times he made me say all the names. I want to keep some private, so I'm not putting in the photos or journaling here, but you get the idea!

Generosity

It has been a bit since I blogged, but I have a few fun projects I just made with my new "generosity" stamp set from Clear and Simple stamps!

The first is a clip board I bought at the dollar store, already covered. I made it for my daughter's teacher and clipped a g.c. on it for the end of the year. All stamps are clear and simple. Crystal embellishment and inks are all Close to My Heart.

The second is a layout with Miss Elizabeth's papers and Close to My Heart Inks and Clear and Simple stamps.

The third is a card with Close to My Heart papers from a Level 2 kit and CTMH inks and Clear and Simple stamps.

I loved this set, because it is so versitile! I've also made some pages for the school year book with the fish stamp and know I'll use it a lot with my faithbooking pages!

New Business cards coming

I'm so excited. I just ordered my new business cards for my custom scrapbooking and cardmaking business! Vista Print had a free offer so I just paid shipping and got some other things like postcards, memo pads and a car magnet too...all free!
I can't wait 'till they arrive so I can get the word out that I am a custom designer for people who love hand made items but don't have the time to make their own! I'm also going to start putting some hand made items on-line to sell, so wish me luck!
