3" x 3" Thank You Notes

Here are some of my latest creations! I actually used layouts from the "Originals™" book, by Jeanette Lynton". These are 3" x 3" Thank you cards that I include with my club member orders! I can't say enough about both the "Originals™" and "Wishes™" books by Jeanette Lynton. I love them! I can't count how many time I have looked them already! Well if you are interested in placing an order, hosting a gathering or becoming a Close to my Heart Independent Consultant yourself, please feel free to contact me.

Wishes™ by Jeanette Lynton

I just recently purchased "Originals" by Jeanette Lynton and just today I received my copy of "Wishes" by Jeanette Lynton. I should have purchased these books a long time ago, I LOVE THEM! It is well worth the investment! Again, if you don't already own one, get one! These books are a great tool for beginner and seasoned card markers. I'm sure you will love them as much as I do! If you are interested in purchasing from Close to my Heart, please feel free to contact me!

Lollipop Holder

This was the third and final project we made for our Stamp Club this past weekend. We had so much fun! The three projects made were the Grocery List, Valentine Card and Lollipop Holder. The Valentine Card actually took on a life of it's own... Some opted to make it a Birthday card and some opted to change the layout. They all came out so beautiful! I can't wait until our next meeting in February!

Meanwhile, I will be creating and posting! Don't forget to tell your friends and family about my blog and sign up to follow me through my stamping journey!!!



It's been a few days....

Sorry, it's been a few days since my last post. I hope to complete a project later today and post it! See you all later!

Valentine Card

Well my Stamp Club meets this Saturday, I am SO excited!!! I postponed it one week, due to some remodel that my husband decided to do all of a sudden. It's still not done, I hope he has time to finish it up by Friday!

We usually make three projects. I made two Valentine cards and I am trying to decide which one we will make at our club. I still have to come up with two other projects! Can you say "Procrastinator".

Still Under Construction!

As you can see my blog is still under construction! For some reason I can't attach a Blog background... I tried out several and did not care for them too much, so I went back to my original choice and I keep getting one that I do not want as my background. So it's blank for now until I figure things out.

Anyway, I am curretnly getting ready for my monthly stamp club meeting. I will post my projects that I am preparing for my club girls as soon an they are ready.
