I created this card using Close To My Heart’s NEW  March Stamp of the Month called "Butterfly Wings".  You can earn this set FREE! Ask me how!

I’ve added glitter to my vintage salt shaker collection.  Glitter makes me happy…in fact I have to share this great quote I discovered! It fits me-I plan on making stamps with this saying for gifts!

Are these not the cutest little cupcakes you’ve ever seen???  Just pull up on the cherries to reveal the hidden gift card.  WARNING:  Do not eat (the hot glue is a gagger).  Karen, Caroline and I had such a fun late night moment…here are the fruits of our labor…

Cupcakes created with our new Daydream papers, Just Blooms Big Pinks, Chocolate Cardstock and assorted Ribbons.  The Cherry is a painted and glittered bead topped with a REAL cherry stem. Good enought to eat! (but don’t go there)

Inspired by kindred spirits, Linda Albrecht and Tresa Black

Congratulations Kathy Tolleson! You are the winner of the cupcake!  But..you will also receive a few more goodie suprizes with your cupcake! I just need your addy!

Here is a fun way to store names and addys, birthday, Christmas card lists, and customers lists…this is a standard rolodex from Office Depot.  They also sell the punch to cut the tabs on the bottom! Add foo-fi-la-la and you’re done.  Of course if you are making a Christmas file, then you have to add Foo-fi-fa-la-la-la! 

Love Birds Valentines Day with Close To My Heart Papers, inks and stamps!   I am just so drawn to this color combination.  Here I go again!

My bargain radar is a genetic disorder. The bargains seem to find me. Or I am subconsciously always on the lookout. Maybe it’s my third eye thing. That intuitive part of me that helps me out with my music therapy sessions and knowing what people are thinking or going to say. Regardless, I have been called the bargain queen. One good friend of mine said, “You’re going to have a coupon to bury yourself!” I actually HAVE seen those kind of coupons. Not yet! See more deals at Frugal Frills.

So…here is my latest busy-ness…

Vons had these cute 4”ish pink and white heart shaped ramekins! Since I have a fondness for hearts and my paper crafting business is called “Close To My Heart” and since my happy scrappy place is shabby chic pink, white and black, AND since I am a container FREAK, I had to have these. Oh, did I mention they are half price this week? Only $1.49 each!!!

You could even bake something in them, what a concept!

OH…and this week at Michaels I found these way cool felt ribbons with real stitching on the edges ($1) and the cute flower ribbon was clearanced for only 25cents!!!

Here’s my Girls! One is in the oven!

We made 60 Shower Invites on Saturday!!! Yes my girls stamp!

and they turned out pretty cute!

Danielle used my new slice from Scrapbook Your life.

It allowed us to make the cool scalloped frame!

You should check it out!

It’s portable and easy to use and take to crops!  LOVE IT!
