Easter Treat Tube

I used CTMH's Chantilly Paper Packet with White Daisy Cardstock.

The eggs were cut out by using the CTMH's Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.

The tube box was leftover from the Whooo's Your Valentine Kit and I used one of CTMH's Spray Pens with CTMH's Buttercup Ink Refill with water to dye it from white to a soft yellow.

I used CTMH's Easter Wishes stamp set with CTMH's Black ink.

Again, like the last post, I copic coloured the chick, but I can't find the piece of paper that has the list of copics that I used.

I have since filled the CTMH Tube with light green jelly beans.

Easter Egg-citement

I used CTMH's Chantilly Paper Packet with CTMH's Buttercup & Twilight cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH brads, medium corner rounder punch, an EK Success circle punch, miscellaneous zig zag scissors and a CTMH My Creations Paper Pouch - Small.

The paper pouch was dyed by using one of CTMH's Spray Pens and mixing in CTMH's Buttercup Ink Refill with water. Inside the pouch, I plan on putting a photo of my children.

I used CTMH's Easter Wishes stamp set with CTMH's Black Ink.

I copic coloured the chick image, but I have misplaced the piece of paper with the list of copic markers I used.

This was a quick and simple project, once you got over the fact that there was no way of correcting your stamped image once it hit the journal.

For You Muslin Bag

Here is a quick & simple project.

I used CTMH's For a Friend stamp set with CTMH's Ruby Ink and stamped on a CTMH's My Creations Muslin Drawstring Bag.

I love how crisp the stamped image turned out on the bag.

I made two of these bags and I filled them up with goodies for two prize packages at my Close to My Heart Kick-Off Gathering on Sunday, February 3rd. 

If you came to my gathering with a CTMH project, you received a ballot for one of the prize packages.

Congratulations goes out to Lee-Ann Kubinec!

She brought in two CTMH Valentine Goodie Tubes made with the CTMH Whooo's Your Valentine Kit.

A big thank you goes out to all the people who brought in projects made with CTMH products to share with everyone at the gathering.

If you placed an order with me on Sunday, you received a ballot for every $50 you spent for the other prize package.

Congratulations goes out to Kathy Macaulay!

She was a second prize winner.

I thank all of you who came out and joined me at my kick-off gathering on Sunday. I had a fabulous time and I hope you did too.

Owl Piggy Bank

Here is my new Piggy Bank.

I sell some of my cards and I have been on the look out for a special piggy bank to hold my card money. 

While looking around on the CTMH's Website, I came across this idea for turning their My Creations Kraft Container into a piggy bank. 

I used My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary two-sided patterned paper line. Actually, the Owl paper on this project was leftover from my card holder project.

To embellish the container, I used Basic Grey flowers, felt leaves from my stash & twine from Jangles bead store. I also used an EK Success border punch and to make the hole in the lid of the container, I used Stampin' Up's Word Window Punch.

G & G's 70th Anniversary Title Page

My grandparent's celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary in August and I am working on their 8.5 x 8.5 album. This is their title page.

I used BoBunny's Enchanted Love two-sided patterned paper line with Bazzill Intense Teal & Black Prismatic cardstock. I also used a miscellaneous Black Glitter Paper from Shanna's stash - Thank you Shanna!

To embellish the layout, I used CTMH's Sprakles Black Flourishes, CTMH's Clear Buttons, CTMH's Black Tulle Ribbon, Stampin' Up Ribbon & We R Memory Keepers Black Glitter Twine.

I used CTMH's Scrapbook Statements - Women stamp set with CTMH's Black ink.

Trevor's Valentine's Day Card

I would like to submit my card to the My Mums Craft Shop, their challenge this month is Valentine's/Love.

Well, my husband does look at my blog, so I have already given him his card. I am also using this card as a sample at my Close to My Heart Kick-Off Gathering on Sunday. So, I have taken the card back and I will give it to him again on Valentine's Day. 

I used BoBunny's Love Letters Collection 6 x 6 paper pack with Bazzill Black Prismatic cardstock and BoBunny Wine & Chiffon Double Dot cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH's Black Hemp & Black Brads, my sewing machine to stitch on the inside of the card, an EK Success Border Punch and CTMH Black ink to distress the paper edges with a sponge dauber.

I also used CTMH's Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut out the heart die-cuts and CTMH's Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut out the circle for the spinner.
