October Stamp of the Month

The October Stamp of the Month is going to be a popular one. Don't miss out on ordering one this month. My monthly event is set for later this month, ask me for details!

Personalized Albums

The new faux leather albums from CTMH are amazing!! I love them so much. I gave this one in the color, Hollyhock, as a baby shower gift. I can personalize the albums by doing homemade die cuts and then making the letters into stickers with a sticker machine. It makes a great gift and/or keepsake for yourself or someone on your gift list.

No Naked Cards!

Don't leave your cards naked!! I used the new stamp set, Adorn-able (D1446) to decorate the back of my card and put my information. Card swap is complete!

Holiday Circle Card

I'm working on this card for a swap where the them is "any shape but a rectangle." I decided to go with the circle because it was a time saver since I can buy cards from CTMH in the shape of a circle. They are available in two shades of white and include envelopes! Contact me for ordering information and they will ship right to your door!
