Get Well & Sympathy, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday everyone! I am so excited to share with you a sneak peek for a new bundle that will be coming in September in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Coming this fall, Winterly Tree Tops. I know you will have fun creating all year round with this adorable set of birds and greenery. Even though it will debut in the Holiday Mini, it is definitely a set that is great for all seasons.

My mom would have loved this set. She always enjoyed sitting on her deck and watching the birds, especially in the spring as they were building their nests. If you are a bird lover, this bundle is for you!

Bubble Up Technique ~ Make It Monday #166

Congratulations-Graduation-Retirement, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques, Thank You /

Today I am excited to share with you a technique I am calling Bubble Up! It is a fun technique that uses bubbles and re-inkers. There are several videos on the internet using dishwashing soap, water, and re-inkers. I just found it a bit easier to use already prepared bubble from the dollar store. I hope you enjoy this fun technique. It is certainly one you can do outside with your kids this summer.

Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You /

Happy Monday….Did you know that modern scrapbooking first emerged in 1800 when photography was invented. Scrapbooking is still popular today because it is all about expressing one’s thoughts, feelings and sentiments. It’s about preservation of memories and special moments, and recording family stories. Scrapbooks were cherished and kept by families for many years. Welcome to our Close to My Heart Friends!

Flowering Zinnias Happy Birthday!

Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday, Online Exclusives /

One of my favorite things is celebrating birthdays and my card today was the birthday card that I gave my niece, Shelby, yesterday on her 31st birthday. She is an elementary teacher at my parish’s school and she is doing an amazing job. I just had to celebrate her with these beautiful paper flowers. Of course real flowers would have been better but if you know me then you know I don’t have a green thumb. I decided on the next best thing and surprised her with a birthday cupcake from Jilly’s cupcakes.

Here is the card I created for her.

This card was so super simple. I just started with a Berry Burst card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series paper on the card front and stamped the greeting with Memento Black ink directly onto the DSP. The greeting is from Sentimental Park and yes, that will be carrying over to the new catalog.

For the inside I attached a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White and stamped the You from Sentimental Park and the second greeting from Notes of Nature. Sorry Notes of Nature is retiring but you still have a few more days to add that to your stamping stash before it is retired for good! I hope you have a fantastic Friday! Happy Stamping!
