On the Tenth Day of Christmas...

...my CTMH Consultant introduced to me: the new CTMH Promo!

Close to my Heart is running an awesome promotion for the remainder of December and throughout the month of January: Key to my Heart! CTMH has declared January is National Papercrafting month and created a E-Size stamp set (with flourishes, a key, sentiments, hearts, journaling box, etc) and a coordinating paper packet with the four new colors: Tulip, Sorbet, Creme Brulee, and Juniper!

The nitty-gritty details:
The kit retails for $47.90, which you can purchase now through January 31st. Or, if you spend $75, you can purchase the kit for just $20. -OR- if you spend $130, you get the kit for FREE (oh yea, and you also qualify for the January Stamp of the Month, Moments in Time, for FREE, too)! The bummer part- you do have to pay shipping/tax, even on the free stuff :-(

After the holidays I will post some fun artwork with this kit- it is really too cute! Look for it on the project for the Twelfth day of Christmas!

Check out the details at http://www.closetomyheart.com/

Have a great day!

On the Ninth Day of Christmas...

... my CTMH consultant gave to me- cute wreath ornaments!

These are super easy once you get the folding down! Please email me at tazzygirl2000@yahoo.com if you would like step-by-step instructions! A big thanks to CTMH consultant Amy Bailey for introducing me to these:






the stamps are all CTMH, but the paper is some older stuff I had in my stash that I thought still worked really well. The take twelve 4x4 squares to make the wreath part, so 1 1/3 sheets per wreath!

Happy holidays!

On the Eighth day of Christmas...

... my CTMH consultant gave to me: a Paper Bow that can dress up any holiday package!


These are super simple to make, and add a little pizzazz to gifts. A template can be found on Splitcoast Stampers (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/dsp_bow/). For this one I used the pinstripe B&T from Just Chillin' (one of my favorites)!! Use the same paper for a gift tag to make everything match!

Hope you are all having a great day!

On the Seventh Day of Christmas...

... my CTMH consultant gave to me: a GREAT calendar idea!

CTMH now has these awesome little My Creations Display album... a flip album for your table/desk top. It's 6x6, and has twelve page protectors- PERFECT for a calendar! I used the January 2009 Stamp of the Month (Moments in Time), which is a set of little calendars you can use to mark special dates, holidays, etc.

(Sorry about the flash!)
You can see a preview of upcoming Stamp of the Months two months in advance: go to http://www.closetomyheart.com/, click on Stamp of the Month, and scroll down to see the links for future months.

Warning: if you plan on making these, they are a LOT of fun, and easy to do... but keep it simple- if you have a lot of bulky embellishments, the months will not lay flat and it may look a little funny!

Have fun!
