Holiday Card Buffet Continued

I shared with you some of the cards from my annual Holiday Card Buffet. Those were the cards that offered a raffle prize. Here are some of the other cards that guests got to create~

As you can see I had just a couple of Fall/Thanksgiving themed cards. These used the gorgeous Falling For You papers, some new stamp sets and watercolors that allowed the participants a few moments of relaxing coloring!

As you can see, I always try to provide a mix of colors and themes. This was a really fun buffet!

No Worries Bear!

I'm sharing a card with you today for the Heart 2 Heart "No Worries" Challenge. I love this paper collection and found that it can be more versatile than just a beachy theme! On this card I used the Jack cardmaking stamp and thin cuts to create a laid back, fishing bear. Obviously, he has no worries now that he is retired!

Be sure to check out the other entries at H2H. Make sure to stop by the website to order these fabulous products.

P.S. The retirement sentiment is from the No Worries Cardmaking and thin cuts set. All items are on the website and currently available until the end of July.

Celebrating May!

So many wonderful things to celebrate this month! For me personally it is the last month of this school year, then I am on Summer Break! My daughter graduates High School and we get to party! It is also time to celebrate our Moms and all that they do!

As for Close To My Heart, there are some great events to celebrate as well! May is National Scrapbooking month. A month to reflect on all those memories we are making, like graduations & mothers, and ask ourselves how we are preserving those moments. As always Close To My Heart is offering a wonderful collection of papers, embellishments and even albums to help you preserve your memories and tell your stories. The collection is called Live Beautifully!

During the month of May, 

Close To My Heart is offering three exclusive new products to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month: 

The Live Beautifully paper packet, the My Acrylix® Live Beautifully stamp set, and the Cut Above™ Live Beautifully layout kit, which helps you create five complete scrapbook layouts in half the time! 

Buy these exclusive products separately, or buy an album bundle with the new Cut Above

layout kit to save 20% — you can also just buy it all!

Let me just tell you that I have already made my daughter's graduation announcements with the papers and used the Cut Above layouts to showcase the gorgeous photographs we captured for her invitations. It is a stunning collection of colors and patterns, the floral papers are beautiful and the layouts come together so quickly and easily! You won't want to miss the opportunity to celebrate NSM this May!

If that is not enough to get you excited...I have more news for you! May 1st is the day that a brand new Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book goes live! Think Summer, fun, colorful and oh so trendy! This Idea Book will have your creativity sparks flying. Please welcome the new collections~
