Here is a sneak peak of the cover of the new Summer 2008 Close To My Heart idea book. I cannot wait to show this one to my customers. It is so much fun to see all of the new stuff and I have already ordered a larger order to have in time for my open house so all of you can see some of the products in person. It will be so much fun. And, if you came to my open house last May you know that the door prizes are great too! Save the Date...MAY 3RD!!!

A couple new creations...

It has been a little while since I have posted due to being so busy lately. I just bought some new cuttlebug stuff so I am excited to get time to work with all of it. Then Cricut cartridges are on sale this week at Michael's so I had to go there and bought three...yes THREE...cartridges. You can't beat $39.99 for Cricut cartridges! Now I have so many fun things to use that I could sit down for hours to use all of the fun new things that I have. I also put in a new order for Close To My Heart to get a bunch of the new papers and things from the new catalog that comes out on May 1st! Watch for more information about my upcoming OPEN HOUSE that I plan to have on May 3rd which is National Scrapbook Day. I have taken a little bit of time to create a few things...

The first image is a card that I made from my new cuttlebug combo dies that I got at Down Memory Lane. These are so much fun but a little bigger than I had thought they would be. This card is actually 6x6 and is made out of Close To My Heart cardstock. I sanded the cardstock to give it that distressed look.


My next image is a little purse that I created a template for using two pieces of 12x12 cardstock...again Close To My Heart. I random stamped the Watermelon cardstock and then sanded it to distress it. I then used my colluzle to create the handles and glued it all together. This was a fun project once I got the template all worked out. I plan to make some of these as door prizes for upcoming events.
