Challenge #37 -- Evergreen Trees

This week at Christmas Card Challenges, our optional challenge in addition to making a holiday or Christmas card is to use evergreen trees.  This card is a variation from the Close to My Heart Frosted Workshop on the Go Card Kit.  I used the stamp set and design from the kit but added different papers from the "Frosted" paper pack.

Artbooking Mini Scrapbook

 Today I Spent 3-1/2 hours Skype-Scrapping with my friend Lisa who lives in Arizona.  I finished a mini-scrapbook made completely with the new Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.   This is without a doubt the best Cricut Cartridge ever made!  I plan to use this Mini-scrapbook for a workshop project this month.

Weekly Christmas Card Challenge #35

I got another Christlmas Card designed for the Weekly Christmas Card Challenge Blog!  This week the challenge was to Make your own Background.  I stamped a Close to My Heart "Happy Holidays" stamp  in "Ruby" for the background of my card and poped out a Stamp from the new CTMH Frosted Card Workshop on the Go for the front of the card. 

Weekly Christmas Card Challenge #34

I don't know how I haven't seen this Weekly Christmas Card Challenge Blog in the past! I happened to stumble upon it this week and it inspired me to start my Christmas Cards.  The Challenge this week is to use Snowflakes. The card below is made with Close to My Heart products and is a variation from their Frosted Card Workshop On The Go. (I always like to add my own little changes to their designs)

Walt Disney World

We had a little bit of "Playtime" during our stay at Walt Disney World for the Close to My Heart Convention last month.  We were all excited to have our picture taken with the famous Pluto! So why do I have "GOOFY" on the layout????

This layout was scraplifted from Susan's blog!

Heart 2 Heart "Color Me Happy"

This week H2H is challenging us to use colors that make you "Happy"  I love anything with RED.  My car is red, my phone is red... There are not a lot of Reds in the CTMH papers, but I did find some in the Tommy Paper Pack. 

Since I am on my way to the CTMH Convention at Disney World in Florida, I am posting two cards I already made this month.  They both were made using "Tommy".

 

 

Close to My Heart Convention

In 2 days I will be on my way to Walt Disney World for the Close to My Heart Convention with 2 of my good friends, Susan and Lisa! Here we are doing the Happy Dance!

 I am so excited because this is the first CTMH Convention I am attending! The last time I was at Walt Disney World in Orlando was 1996.  I'm sure things have changed quite a bit since then. 

I am especially excited to be able to see all the new CTMH products that will become available in August and to be able to share this experience with my friends and 2000 other CTMH Consultants.  Gotta go pack!  But while I am gone, if you need to place an order be sure to visit My Website.
