Lucky Roll!

I made this game last night- I thought it would be fun to play at Home Gatherings, Crops, or Open Houses.  I used the Dotty For You paper pack and think it turned out cute!  What do you think??

Here is a complete list of the Close To My Heart supplies I used and their item numbers:  Dotty For You Paper Pack, Smoothie Cardstock (X5763), Black marker (Z2305), Posterboard Alphabet (E1014), Token Alphabet (E1020), One cube from the MyCreations Collage Cubes (Z1737), 1 1/4" Circle Punch (Z1311), and finally the Lagoon and Black Ink Pads.  I used the black stubble texture tool (Z1298) and Lagoon ink to add some color to my lettering.

Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Pemberley Cards

I have to admit, when I first saw the Pemberley paper I really didn't like it.  But, since my mom's favorite colors are yellow and light blue, I ordered it anyway and this is what I have created so far.  I really like how the flowers stand out.  I really think that they make the cards!

Here is my CTMH product list:
Pemberley Paper Pack (X7148b), Pemberley MyStickease (X7148c), Bitty Opaques Pearl Adhesive Gems (Z1707), Hooray Bouquet MyAcrylix Stamp Set (D1491), Colonial White Cards and Envelopes (X1410), 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151), and Outdoor Denim, Honey and Indian Corn Blue ink pads.

Victory WOTG pages






These are the pages that my club members will be making this month.  I haven't decided what photos to put on the top layout yet- I have a "Daddy and Me" layout in mind though for my son.  The bottom pages went perfectly with our trip to TN for Spring Break and my son's first time shooting.  My husband got him a BB Gun for his birthday and they had a great time learning about shooting and target practicing!  Beau is a great shot and is hoping to be able to go hunting in the fall- we'll see if he's ready to sit in a tree stand for a few hours!

Here is a list of the products I used and their item numbers (all CTMH):
Victory WOTG (G1035), Victory Stickease (Z7150C), Durables Square Studs (Z1705), and the Outdoor Denim, Barn Red and Chocolate ink pads.

Teacher's Appreciation Gifts





I made these gifts for my kids' teachers for Teacher Appreciation week.  I think they are adorable and am really happy with how they turned out!  The little buckets I found in the $1 section at Target.  I used a popsicle stick for the "stem", attached the flowers and filled with potting soil.  They went together super fast- I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut the flower shape and the stamp image that I wrote on.  The best part- they only cost about $3 apiece to make!  Please leave a comment to let me know what you think!

Dotty For You Cards






I made these two cards using the National Scrapbooking Month's Dotty For You paper pack. I love the Birthday card (top) because of how quickly it went together, and how simple it is.  Here is a list of products and the layouts I used for my inspiration!

Top Card:  Dotty For You, Colonial White Die-Cut Cards & Envelopes (Z1738), Color-Ready Accents (Z1718), Craft Buttons Red Assortment (Z1369), Cocoa Ink (Z2114), Sweet Leaf CS from my stash.  The pattern was from the Stella WOTG Brochure New Pattern.

Bottom Card:  Dotty For You, Colonial White Die-Cut Cards & Envelopes (Z1738), Color-Ready Accents (Z1718), Craft Buttons Red Assortment (Z1369), Bohemian Assortment (Z1687), Sweet Leaf CS from my stash.  The pattern was from Wishes, "Lower Layers" pg 57.

Have you gotten your Dotty For You paper pack yet?  This adorable paper pack can be yours for only $5 with a $35 purchase from the Spring/Summer Idea Book.

I got my first paper pack the first week we could order them, and it was used up almost immediately.  I had to get another!  I'll work on taking some pictures this week of my Dotty For You projects so you can see just how versatile it really is!
