Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

It has been one wild and crazy holiday season here!  Christmas is my most favorite holiday and I love everything about the season!  This year, though, it's been wild!  I have created a ton of projects, I have finally inputed ALL the orders from the 12 days of Christmas sale, I have worked boutiques, done custom orders.  I have created for a crafty party swap, I have made some fun gifts.  I have worked full time, and had a sick daughter (and hubs too).  With 3 short weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's been wild!  Here is my most favorite layout I created recently! I used Sparkle & Shine paper pack, Assortment & Compliments as well as Artbooking for this layout. I cannot wait to print a picture of each of my kids for this layout :) Remember that Sparkle & Shine retires at the end of the month, so pick it up this week so that you can get your Christmas photos scrapbooked NOW!  I will be posting more of my creat...

November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- Illuminate

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for November 2013- featuring Illuminate If you have come here from Susan's Blog you're on the right path.  How cute is this stamp set??  It shines bright, sparkles & shines.  The possibilities are endless :) Today I have created a card using the Sparkle & Shine papers , Black Shimmer Trim & Illuminate! To create this card, I stamped the Lightpost image with black pigment ink on the Juniper cardstock.  Then I stamped the lantern on a white piece of cardstock, colored it with Cranberry Marker , and used foam tape to pop it up.  I punched the black shimmer trim with our new Scallop Border Punch .  The sentiment is from a former stamp of the month along with Sparkle & Shine from Illuminate.  On one side of the Circle- I stamped the dove image in Ruby. My ladies created this card at last night's Holiday Card Class :) The ...
