That was fast!
Well, you ladies are quick. Looks like we have our 5 goodie recipients. I have emailed everyone except for Alyssa and Sandra. Would you two mind emailing me at lisa@myctmh.com with your mailing addresses so that I have them on file when I get ready to send you your goodies? Thanks! *Ü*
The 1st five get a goodie
I was fortunate enough to be one of the first five commenter's on Rachel's Wonderfully Whimsy goodies giveaway. Now, it's my turn to pay it forward. The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you! This offer does have a few “rules of play”:
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make --- but I hope you do!
2- What I create will be just for you --- one of a kind!
3- It'll be done sometime this year (most likely it will be in the next month).
4- You have no clue what it's going to be. Well, a pretty good bet it will be made of paper!
5-The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog!
The first 5 people to leave a comment win a handmade card or gift (or both!) by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! So....who will be the first 5 people?
Even if you aren't in my first five, why not start this on your blog, too? Spread more love FASTER! Ready, set.....who will the first five be??

"With Sympathy" Birthday Card


Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Overalls Card

I also used some CTMH Buttons from the Holiday Collection along with some Cranberry Waxy Flax. The cute little puppy came from CTMH's So Sweet Seans stamp set. I stamped him in black and colored him in with Bamboo and Baby Pink (for his nose) Markers. I popped up the pocket with a 3-D Foam Square.

Unforgettable Boxed Card Set

The cards on the inside are 3.75"x3.75" and are almost the same as the larger cards I posted below. I used the CD from the awesome Originals Book to make the envelopes. (Did you know that the Originals Book comes with a template CD? It is fabulous!) I used the 3"x3" envelope template and printed it out at 125% so my envelopes are about 4"x4". They fit perfectly in the box. I like using CTMH's B&T Duos to make envelopes because they show a different color on the inside.
Wouldn't this make a great gift?



Stamps: Aspiration, Celebrate Life, Code It
Papers: Unforgettable Paper Packet
Inks: Chocolate, Sorbet
Other: Chipboard, Organdy Ribbon, Foam Tool, Pewter Designer Brads

Aspiration Boxed Cards
Papertrey Ink is having another fun contest today. We are to pick one of Dawn's color combos from this past week and create a project using those colors. I chose the peachy and brownish colors she used here. (Do you like my official color names? LOL!) Here is the project I came up with...
I just got a new CTMH stamp set called Aspiration and couldn't wait to use it! I stamped this set of cards in about 15 minutes. Gotta love that! I used Papertrey's Stamper's Select white cardstock for the bases because it is so wonderfully thick. (I like to use it for my card bases when I am not doing any layering.) I used one of my other all time favorite CTMH sets called Say it with Style. Unfortunately this was a stamp of the month set last year which means that it is not currently available. Hopefully it will show up in a future CTMH catalog and become “orderable” again. (Is that even a word? LOL!) Here is a close up of one of the cards. Very simple, but you know me. I like simple. 
Stamps: CTMH Aspiration, Say it with Style; Papertrey Mixed Messages


Here is what the boxed set looks like. I used a clear box from clearbags.com. I added a thin strip of Chocolate cardstock with a piece of CTMH Sorbet ribbon on top. Then I punched a circle tag with my Cuttlebug and stamped the mini sentiment from Papertrey's Mixed Messages stamp set.

Cardstock: Papertrey White Stampers Select
Inks: CTMH Chocolate, Sorbet
Other: CTMH Chocolate Cardstock, Sorbet Ribbon Rounds

You make my heart flutter...

In addition to the CTMH Intrinsic Backgrounds stamp set, I also used the upcoming March stamp of the month called Butterfly Wings for the sentiment and the butterfly. I stamped the butterfly on the card with Chocolate ink and again on a piece of Bamboo scratch cardstock. I cut out the extra butterfly and glued the body onto the card, lifted up the wings and stuck a mini 3-D foam square underneith to give it some dimension.

Kid's Valentines



I am in the process of working on the teacher's gifts. I think they will be cute (and inexpensive) if I can figure out how to make what I have pictured in my head. LOL! I will post those when they are done. *Ü*

Papertrey Challenge
Those of you that know me know that I am a big Papertey Ink fan. They are having some fun new releases this month along with making some big announcements and having some great contests. The current contest is really fun. We were to download a sketch from Nichole's blog and then make a card using the sketch. One random winner will win a spool of ALL of Papertrey's ribbons! Those of you that know me also know that I am a huge ribbon hoarder. I LOVE ribbon! So...I just had to whip up a quick card to enter into the contest. I know my chances are not very good at winning because there are a million other Papertrey fans and ribbon hoarders out there, but hey, I thought it would be worth a try. So...here is my humble little card. *Ü*

Stamps: Inkadinkado Birds Galore, CTMH Angel Whispers (sentiment)
Cardstock: Papertery Berry Sorbet & White
