Another TriShutter Card for SAVE THE BOOBIES!

I admit- I am addicted to making these Tri-Shutter Cards! I have three more to post, which I will do over the next few days. I am making these for my friend, Preet's Save the Boobies fundraiser that is taking place tomorrow. I will have a few of these Tri-Shutter cards there for sale, from which 100% of the price will go towards Breast Cancer Research. If you would like to donate as well, the link to her site is:

For every person that donates $10 or more, I will send you a custom Tri-Shutter Card! you pick from a selection of paper, stamps, themes, etc. Just leave me a comment here and let me know.

Onto the card- I used Emporium Paper and the Coffee Shop Stamp Set. I also used one of the stamps from the Everyday Celebration kit for the inside. I made this to hold a Starbucks gift card:




Thanks for everyone's support!

Happy Birthday, Coffee Lover!

For my Starbucks-loving friend, I made this:

The coffee cup is supposed to somewhat resemble a Starbucks logo, but you get the idea! The cocoa cardstock is mounted on foam tape so the gift card fits snuggly inside!

On a side note, there is some exciting news brewing at Close To My Heart! The National Stamping Month card kit campaign was just released, which will be available starting August 18th!

Plus, CTMH Consultants were just given a sneak-peak of the new Autumn/Winter 2009 Idea Book and some new changes for our company. I have to say I am EXTREMELY excited to share some of the new products, programs, and the amazing new layout of the book. And stay tuned, because when the Idea Book debuts in September, many CTMH Consultants will be joining me on another Idea Book Blog Hop to kick of the latest and greatest product release from Close to my Heart!

Happy Creating, everyone!

... my CTMH Consultant gave to me: A GREAT gift idea- a True-Fit- Folio Album!

Originally created by CTMH Consultant Kelly English-Triggs, this is an awesome little album that uses the True-Fit Folios as the base and lets you decorate five tags to put inside. Here is an example of one I made for my Dad with pictures of him and his "little girls":

Unfolded with the tags out:


This project is compact and simple, and once you make the actual base, it is pretty easy to put together!

I liked showing these particular colors for today- it reflects the nice and rainy weather here in Phoenix! Midori is not too sure about going outside in the rain, but I have the day off, and with the exception of teaching Junior Achievement and running a few errands, I will be home with the pups all day (working on Christmas presents, of course)! I hope you all have a chance to relax and enjoy the holiday season!

Lots of Love,
