Pink Flamingo’s I Must Be In Florida

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Close To My Heart has the cutest Flamingo stamp set and coordinating thin cut set  called Tickled Pink.

So many people think of Florida when they see Flamingo’s so I think this stamp set was made just for me, since I am a Floridian 🙂

All different kind of greeting cards can be made with this Tickled Pink set, but also think of accents for scrapbook pages, party invitations and decorations…

And remember just because its called Tickled Pink does not mean you have to make them pink.  You can use any color ink that you want.  That’s the best thing about creating your own paper crafts 🙂

Spring Has Sprung

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Springtime Makes Me Smile when I see all of the trees start budding and flowers start blooming.  Spring has sprung in North Florida and in my Craft Room 🙂

No matter how many new and exciting products are on the market, there are times when I just want to “go back to basics”  using a white card base from Close To My Heart, a paper punch, paper crimper and a few thin cuts.  I can’t believe that I did not use a rubber stamp on this card 🙂

I was not spring cleaning, but I was looking at supplies that I have not used in awhile.  It’s amazing what you can find hidden in those decorative photo boxes LOL

I found a box of all different shaped paper crimpers and I have not used a paper crimper in years, but it was the perfect touch for the window shade 🙂

I am challenging you to look through a box of supplies that you may have hidden in your closet or under your bed and see what you find and then create a masterpiece.

~ Enjoy your Sunday Everyone ~

Life in Pictures – April Stamp of the Month CTMH

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

These stamps are so fun and they remind me of some cameras that I used back in the day before digital.

The camera below was my Dads and I have it on a shelf in my craft room.  It’s crazy how cameras have changed over the years but even with images of these camera’s, they sparked some memories of growing up and how my parents took photos of us with real light bulbs for flashes, polaroid instant pictures…  🙂

Just a reminder – This fun stamp set is only available from April 1-30, 2016. The price is $17.95 but if you spend $50.00 you can purchase for only $5.00.
