Happy Valentines Day! Just a little snow falling, but a beautiful day outside. Erin and Kate are outside playing, swinging in the swing on the front porch. We're glad to get to see them more often and wish Jacqui's family could be here this week end, too. Maybe next time!

I'm posting some Valentines that I made with the CTMH "Topstitch" paper package. Hope you enjoy. It's always fun to make special cards for special people! You can make it personal to fit the individual!

Have a wonderful day! Spread some love.

Lots of Birthdays to celebrate!

January is a big birthday month for our family. I've been working on lots of cards to send. Payton turns 13 on Feb 2, on Groundhog Day! This card is for her, perfect, I hope, since she plays guitar. I used paper from the You Rock paper pack, stamp sets Rock Star and Your Rock. Ink colors are outdoor denim, goldrush and olive. The guitar on the front is one of the new "Top Coats", and is attached with a hinge. Hope she likes it! If you would like a new Spring Idea Book, let me know. Close To My Heart is always up to date with the latest trends! You can click on the pictures to get a closer view.

Hope everyone is trying to stay warm and staying well! Til next time....

Keep stampin' and Scrappin'!

Bringing in the new year wishes

Happy New Year everyone! My wish for all of you is much happiness and good health in 2010. I've had a hard time trying to write the new year. I've filled in the year on several checks in my checkbook to help me remember!

New and exciting things are going on in CTMH. It is National Papercrafting Month, and with the weather outside today, I hope to get some crafting done. First, it's painting 500 clothespins black--for sheep's feet-- for an Ag in the Classroom lesson next week. Spray painting would be nice, but the weather is not cooperating. We've had about 4" so far, and starting to blow.

Do visit the CTMH website (click at the sidebar) for a chance to win a Felicity kit. You can visit everyday to register. And, check out the Stamp of the Month for some great ideas on how to use this set.

Happy crafting! Stay tuned til next time.

News for you

Okay, it looks like I'm a 5th of the month poster. Maybe things will slow down a little now that harvest is FINALLY over----not! Christmas is fast approaching and I have lots to do yet. I sat in the truck the other day and put some Christmas cards together. I need to do some stamping yet, and maybe I'll get them sent out soon.

Maybe we're finally going to have some Indian Summer--or at least as close as we can get to that this fall. We're glad to see the sun shining again and drying up the fields. Harvest is slow, but at least it is going again now. Here's a card for you to Enjoy! these November fall days. I hope they stay around all month! The paper is from Close to my Heart "Twitterpated" paper pack and the stamp is "Many Thanks" D1371. Have a great day!

In honor of National Card Making Day last Saturday, I finally got to my stamp room and made a few cards. I'm already ahead of last year's Christmas card making, I can't believe it. These cards are from the "Merry Pursuits" stamp set from CTMH and uses Background and Texture (B&T) paper from the Evensong packet. Get started on your cards now, and avoid the rush!!
